Chanced upon the Lion when the boys from the band 45 RPM were playing their hearts out! Lovely welcome from the landlord offering napkins to clear our glasses (specs) 😎 on a chilly evening! From the Great music To the other customers, Steve and Heather, and Mike all making us feel so welcome. Add good beers and ciders - we had a great night to end our wet and windy little trip to Newbury! Storm Ciaran can go away now!
Excellent well run authentic pub...a true landlord..knows how a good pub/it's beer/food/atmosphere should be presented...
The Lion is a great pub just off the main high street in Newbury. Friendly atmosphere, great choice of drinks, comfortable seating and even a nice covered outdoor area for sunny days or smokers. The pub staff / owners are all great, as well as the regulars - all friendly and welcoming, and help to make The Lion feel how a pub really should feel. Tex/Mex food served from the kitchen - order at the bar - all freshly made and very tasty, usually happy to accommodate asks like extra soured cream or salsa. Often they’ll be showing live sports or live music on occasion, and we can’t recommend enough the pub quiz every Thursday; easily the best quiz in and around Newbury!
Nice pub situated in Newbury. Camra discount available to members, Cask marque certificate and good conditioned cask beer. I tried the vegetarian burrito and it was delicious. I would recommend, you might want to add some sides as the burrito is just the burrito and fillings. They serve food only on Thur Fri and Saturday...
Friendly staff good ambience and nice choice of drinks. I was treated with Mexican burritos and was very authentic. This pub has a nice collection of ales. I received the best vodka martini that was ever tasted by me and made by Mr Kevin although they don't serve any cocktails.
