The Lion in Craven

Food ok. Location is lovely. A little bit of a wait for service though. Staff great but they don't seem to be responsible for specific tables, so you have to wait for someone to see that you are waiting. I think if staff had responsibility for specific tables it would work better for them in moving people on and for the customer not having to wait do long. Could do with being able to pay from your table too, rather than going to the bar. This may only be if you have eaten outside though. Will go there again.

As always was served with a smile and good selection of local beers as well as well known brands. Was beautiful to sit by the river and take in the scenery. Highly recommended The Lion and have been here many times for casual drinks to dining, which the food is of exceptional standard.

Stopping in the area for a few days, we went here from a recommendation, not disappointed. Service from the bar and restaurant staff great, and a credit to the chief for his delicious food. Mushroom soup as a starter can not be missed, that's if you like Mushrooms. Plenty of options on the menu but not to the point where you are bogged down with decisions.

Excellent as always. As a vegetarian it can be hard to find good options locally but The Lion always impresses me. I had the halloumi burger this time but have enjoyed lentil lasagna in the winter too. Good selection of drinks and lovely staff. Recommended

Brilliant place, lovely food, pleasant bar staff, and reasonably busy. We were lucky to get in, I'd advise ppl to book.

Very nice place. Didn't eat there, but food looked good. Ludlow Good ale excellent

Had a meal today at The Lion as we’ve been there a few times and really enjoyed it in the past.Today sadly the service was quite slow even tho the food was still stunning as ever which tarnished it a little for me as waiting times were not good in my opinion.Ok the restaurant was busy but it didn’t seem flat out.I hope next time I come to The Lion it will be the same superb service and food I’ve always had there.

I really want to rate this place 5 star. We turned up, sat at the bar. Ordered expresso martinis and they fitted us in for dinner. In this area it can be difficult to find somewhere really classy, but chilled to drink and eat. I loved it. Thank you for doing cocktails 🍸

Had a Fillet Steak done medium, it was AWFUL ! Toughest Fillet I've ever had & no taste to it. Was gutted as Wife is away & hadn't had anything to eat all day. They did knock the Steak off the bill. Don't normally complain but most of the food was still on the plate so wasn't happy paying a £30 odd bill for something I never ate. Shame really Pub looked nice & recently moved into the area but that place won't be where I'll dine in future for sure. Stick with the Riverside Ameystry or the Corners Kingsland.

Best breakfast I've had in a long time. The food was prepared from fresh farm produce and cooked to perfection with no grease in sight. If your in the area l highly recommend calling in has you won't be disappointed.
