The Merrie Lion - Menu

A good menu with wide choices. Very friendly staff, efficient and discrete. Food arrived ahead of promise and excellent quality.

Friendly atmosphere and good service at the bar and restaurant (including breakfast). Hotel accommodation clean, modern and well appointed. Very good en-suite shower room.

Had a lovely.one night stay on out way to Cropredy. The room was great and we loved the private patio area we could sit out in. The food was great and so was the beer. Made very welcome, will definitely stay again

The Sunday roast at this restaurant was absolutely delicious. We tried both the roast beef and roast pork, and they were both cooked perfectly. The beef was tender and available in rare, medium, or well-done options. The pork loin came with tasty crackling. There was also a great variety of fresh vegetables to choose from. The service was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place.

I arrived late at night looking for a room having broken down on the M40. I’d been standing in the dark and getting cold by a busy motorway for a couple of hours before I found The Merrie Lion, and what a treat it was. The hospitality I received was incredible. The bar was lively, very friendly, beer well kept and my room was in an adjacent building, purpose built, and spotlessly clean with nice modern decor and a superbly comfortable bed. Thank you Merrie Lion.

Stayed for three nights to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary and attend a local wedding. We ate Sunday lunch and Monday evening in the pub the food was without exception fabulous and beautifully presented. The accommodation is in a separate building and is well equipped and furnished to a high standard. Breakfast was plentiful and up to the same high standards as all other meals. Lots of choice and happy to make changes to their standard plates. Daphne and all of her staff were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. We were made to feel very welcome. If we are ever in the area we would not consider staying any where else. Thank you from all of us for making our stay so fantastic.

We had another wonderful family meal at the Merrie Lion. We visit several times a year to meet with family and friends, including my disabled son, and the staff are always incredibly friendly and helpful. They always make sure to set us up at a quiet table and have a steak put aside for my son. The chef is fantastic and accommodates dietary needs with ease. This time, we even brought a puppy along, who was given some treats as well. Those who ordered the fish and chips raved about how excellent they were. I opted for the pie, and the pastry was perfect. The steak was tender and delicious, with the chips and fries being the best I've had anywhere. Everyone loved their desserts, especially the...

My wife and I recently dined at The Merrie Lion for dinner. The staff were very friendly and our waitress, Jess, was both entertaining and polite. I ordered the sirloin steak rare, but it ended up being cooked medium to well done - still tasty though. The chips were fantastic! My wife tried the slow-cooked beef and despite usually having a small appetite, she devoured the entire plate and was disappointed that there were no chips left to soak up the gravy. She enjoyed it so much that we are planning to return so I can try it myself. For dessert, I had the lemon torte which was delicious. My wife opted for the chocolate panna cotta, but even with her sweet tooth, she couldn't finish half of i...

We chose The Merrie Lion because of it being quite close to the wedding venue Warwick House at Southam where our nephew was getting married. The distance was approximately 7 miles. Our room No.2) was on the ground floor of the purpose built building which has 6 bedrooms. The building is a very short walk across the spacious car park from the pub. The room was very spacious with a LARGE double bed. Plenty of wardrobe and drawer space . An excellent walk in shower and tea and coffee making facilities. We ate in the pub restaurant on Monday evening 31st July),along with 12 others that would be attending the wedding, and found the food to be of very good quality and plenty on the well presented...
