My first impressions of The Lion at Wendlebury were very favourable. It's an old pub with new additions built sympathetically and in keeping with the pretty Oxfordshire village.
We were shown to our table by a friendly waitress and were looking forward to our meal.

Unfortunately, it was downhill from there. Not only were five or more items on the menu unavailable, but we were not informed of their absence until we had chosen them. This happened with both main courses and desserts. The remaining courses were not really to any of our tastes and we had to compromise.

The meals we did settle for were well cooked and presented, though one essential ingredient was omitted and arrived separately.

Service was slow, on the whole. The whole meal took nearly three hours.

The food was on the more expensive side and didn't really represent particularly good value for money. We would have overlooked this had the menu not been so limited on the day we went. Would not choose to come here again.
