La Cloche At The Lion

Friendly very helpful staff on this busy day. Large garden unfortunately when we were there no one's smoking.

Went to the pub on Xmas eve at 5.30pm and it was closed.. Last time I was here on Bank Holiday, we were told to leave as they had no staff : Shame as its a nice pub when it's open!

I really like this pub for its ambiance and delightful staff. There’s a nice enclosed outdoor area at the back and the decor is understated. The chef is great, helpful and adaptable he does a super gluten free fish and chips, which there’s an extra wait for but it’s well worth it. Voir le carte

I booked a table online for Saturday evening with my family and received a confirmation email. However, when we arrived at the restaurant, we found it closed. I was confused as to how I was able to make a booking at a place that wasn't even open. I was not planning on leaving a review until I received an email asking for my feedback on my experience.

This pub has potential to be. a great success. It is situated in a quiet residential road so it is unlikely to become a haven for youngsters.This is re-enforced by the price of drinks which are above other local prices. The pub does not seem to advertise that they show rugby or cricket. In all I enjoyed the experience but very few people were in there when I visited.

EXCELLENT FOOD! Standard drinks options at normal London prices, but the food was fantastic! We had Sunday roast for three and it was delicious and there was more than enough food. Our vegetarians had some good options: the veggie fish and chips was fantastic. They do offer a full vegetarian roast dinner but you have to book it 48hrs in advance and we only booked the day before. Voir le carte

Very disappointed experience here today!! We booked a table before hand for drinks and food @5pm but we turned earlier @4pm We were six. The pubs was empty literally! And they sat down us at the back where the heating was off . I did asked the manager three times , please let’s sit in one of this empty tables per sure we will leave before the football kick off . He insisted was not possible , no tables available . Absolutely ridiculous! After an hour an a half they decided a table was available next to the toilets . Anyway, we took it , it was **** cold . Food average and I don’t think we will go back there . It’s a shame local pubs don’t care about local customers.

On December 17th, our family made a reservation online to dine at this restaurant before an 8pm show at the nearby Normansfield Theatre. We received a confirmation number for our reservation, with a note specifying that one of our party was vegan. However, when we arrived, despite the lights being on, the restaurant was empty and there was a sign on the door that read "we are closed." It is possible that this closure was due to an emergency, and we hope that everything is okay with the owners. Unfortunately, we did not receive any notification of the closure and had to walk around to find another restaurant that could accommodate us without a reservation and in time for the show.

I was the winner of a competition to win 20 pints, during the annual beer festival that they held this weekend. I was delighted with the news, and brought my family down to appreciate it in their beer garden. We were greeted very nicely, And generally had very good service. I was welcomed by the owner, who was a helpful and very friendly gentleman. There was a wide range of beer and cider to sample, And we had a great time. The food was very good. And in particular the roast chicken was brilliant. The meat fell off the bone beautifully. Only one small! Niggle was that the waitress seemed to struggle with our big order (7 of us) and didn't write anything down, So we did have some issues with... Voir le carte
