The Lion at Basford is one of those places that has an eclectic mix of clientele.. All of the staff are friendly, approachable, and down to earth. We went for food. The menu mainly specialises in burgers, however other small meals are available. There is a wide range of burgers to choose from, including a vegetarian/vegan range. The Lion is a proper pub, with a very welcoming atmosphere.

A fantastic pub! Not in an obvious spot but worth a visit. A good range of drinks, very friendly staff, an engaging inside decor that is cosy and sociable, and a brilliant outdoor area that is wonderful in the summer. Gigs are available and there’s a nice community of customers. The food, which is not exactly cheap, is very tasty that I would recommend. This is also good for veggies/vegans.

Popped in here for some food Saturday early evening after a cheeky beer in the brewery next door. We had a lovely golden ale then chose a burger each, we went for the Mamma Mia but asked to have the chicken southern fried instead of plain chicken breast, which was obviously naughty but nice 😬. We also both upgraded to sweet potato fries. The burger was delicious especially with the halloumi, it wasn’t the most succulent chicken burger I’ve had but it was good. The onion ring was also nice, we really enjoyed our food!
