OUR CELLAR

One of our favourite features of the pub is our ‘well’. This limestone cave is 2 stories down, believed to be one of the deepest in Nottingham and is still in use as our cask cellar. You can view the cellar drop through one of the portholes at the top of the well. A steel girder and winch above allows us to drop the fresh casks in daily. A definitely a unique feature of our pub!

OUTSIDE AT
THE LION

Summers at The Lion have always been the busy time, especially in our outdoor seating areas.

Our beer garden is the place to be rain or shine with lovely heated and covered decking area plus suntrap lower decking and a large grass area perfect for the family.

In the winters real fires make for a warm and friendly atmosphere inside.
