This is known to be a great pub with good food, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere.

Unfortunately, our Christmas dinner experience last weekend was very disappointing. All three courses were very average, we had to return some starters as they were burned, the turkey main was lukewarm, vegetables undercooked, and most desserts were less than average - i.e. apple crumble was sour with a lukewarm, very runny custard. I left a picture below of a very average looking attempt of a dessert - coconut sorbet, less than a scoop and already melting as it arrived. The staff on Saturday evening appeared inexperienced and very inattentive.

We chose The Lion & Lobster for our Christmas dinner with friends because it was known to be a guarantee of quality but unfortunately, we left very disappointed!
