We went here on a whim for our anniversary afternoon tea as we had heard good things about it. As we walked in I was instantly hit with the vibe. And what a vibe it is. Very cottage like and warm. Very farmer esc is the best way I can describe it with beautiful and nostalgic furnishings throughout, pictures of local wildlife and the history of the place really pull you in straight away. We were greeted by a lovely lady called Zoey and she was instantly helpful and you could tell she wanted us to have the best experience. We sat in the cubby area which was a bit more secluded and lovely and warm. The food itself was incredible. I make a point of trying afternoon teas as I love them and I promise this one is brilliant. You get a selection of sandwiches, home made (huge) sausage roll section and pork,chicken pie. Along with this you get a selection of cakes and possibly the nicest scones I've ever eaten. Plenty of tea aswell. Whilst I was there I took a look at the toilets, nothing to special and a bit outdated now but did the trick I couldn't see and wheelchair access but on this occasion I didn't look around the whole place, they may have some around the side but don't quote me there. Parking is attached for punters aswell as some over the road, not loads so be wary of you come at a busier time. Service was brilliant, Zoey truly is a gem, she really put alot of effort into providing the best experience and was happy and bubbly throughout, truly made us feel welcome. Really easy to book aswell on their website and they are active on social media if you have questions The price for the two afternoon teas with tea came to £43 so not too bad for what we got Overall we had the best time here and will be returning/telling people about it 5/5 Vegetarian options: Yes plenty of veggie options Parking: Car park attached not the biggest but free also parking opposite the pub unsure if that is free or not though

If only all village pubs could maintain these stellar standards - the black lion is a real model of independent local publicity! I had the pork fillet on wild mushroom risotto and was really impressed- delicious! with a beautiful pint of peroni (which was on very good shape)! all served a smile by very friendly and attentive staff. I'm back!
