The Merrie Lion in Stratford-on-Avon

Friendly pub with excellent service. Delicious and well presented food. Recommended!

Only went in for a drink but staff and locals very friendly and the menu looked great. Will be back to try it!!

Absolutely Superb, High Quality Food, Staff and Friendly Service really make this an easy Business to recommend, For the prices being charged it's also a complete bargain. Wouldn't hesitate to return .

Rooms are great, clean and a great bed. Food is excellent and plenty choice. Bar has a good relaxing atmosphere.

Excellent beer, excellent "proper" pub and very popular.

Great friendly local pub. Food is fantastic and done with love, and I really recommend the Camembert starter if you are a cheese lover! But be warned it will fill you up, so take it steady!Friendly dogs are very welcome if you have one or out for a walk, and there are plenty of local walks available.If you aren't local then the staff are always happy to answer any questions or find one of the locals in the pub to answer it for you.

Beautiful accommodation with very comfortable and large bed, very clean and well maintained. Beautifully cooked and piping hot full English breakfast. Very friendly and helpful staff, evening meal choices excellent the chicken schnitzel was delicious. I highly recommend a stay here, thank you.

We stayed at The Merrie Lion the night before the F1 British Grand Prix (July 2021), which was about 40 minutes drive away on easy, quiet roads.The accommodation was spotless, perfect for what we required, and we spent the evening in the beer garden, enjoying the BBQ food, good beer and live music.The overnight rooms are separate to the pub and are completely soundproof. In the morning, we had a fantastic breakfast. At £80 a night including breakfast, it was a value for money. Recommended.

Had a fabulous evening meal. Food was perfectly cooked and presented well. We had a gnocchi, sea bass, steak and pie of the day (chicken), all of which were faultless. Although full, we moved on to sweets, just because the food was so nice and the quality continued. If I were to have one criticism, there is not much vegetarian selection, but that didn't detract from a lovely evening.

A pub with restaurant quality food at reasonable prices. The pub is rambling and nicely divided between standup and chat with the neighbors areas and the quieter restaurant section. Thank you. Sometimes I want boisterous and sometimes I want to enjoy my meal at leisure.We ordered the pie of the day, chicken and leeks with seasonal vegetables (pictured) made in house and also the fish of the day, sea bass with vegetables (pictured) . Both were beautifully prepared and we cleaned up plates to the last crumb (not pictured).The wine list looked impressive and decently priced even though we do not use it. The house ale is moderately malty with a balance of golding hops.Very drinkable so I had two.We had no room for a dessert of the English Cheese Board paired with a nice port on the same menu.As I said, a pub with several cuts higher food & drink than expected.
