About us

A REAL VILLAGE PUB
Jacqui bought The Finchingfield Lion in November 2016 with the aim of turning this run-down pub into a true village local - serving good, reasonably-priced food, using the freshest local ingredients, prepared simply and with flair. The team is enthusiastic and the welcome is warm. The front bar is cosy, the top bar is stunning, the beer garden is huge and enclosed so bring your dog and enjoy!.

Beautiful, friendly and traditional local pub. We got a warm welcome. We didn't eat but saw some delicious pizzas being served.

Stayed couple of nights (28/29 Oct) & what an absolute pleasure it was. My wife, Barbara & I have experienced many top hotels but the unique charm, character & atmosphere of The Finchingfield Lion is something special. What is most apparent is the welcoming & natural friendliness of all members of staff right from the moment of walking through the door. The charming antiquity of the room (no 4) was appealing with a most comfortable bed & cleanliness throughout. What more do you need for a good night sleep? Although breakfast was not served, a 2 minute stroll to the beautiful village green provided a lovely setting to satisfy that need. Jacqui has created a fantastic environment where, as total strangers we were made to feel like local regulars. Couple with that the absolutely fantastic pizza's, & you would wonder why you would want to stay anywhere else in the area. A genuine 'thumbs up' & wholehearted recommendation from us. Many thanks Jacqui for a most memorable stay. Geoff & Barbara

We popped in last Friday after picking up my daughter from nursery. We had pizza by the fire on the comfy sofa corner seats. Four other families were also there, one enjoying a board game from the selection of games on offer to borrow so it was a really lovely atmosphere. The pizza was delicious! We couldn't decide which to go for so we tried half and half and tasted a few different ones. Would highly recommend. The beer garden is also a great place to sit on a sunny day.

Went to the lion on a Wednesday evening for a second date with a wonderful lady. It was pizza night and if carlsberg did pizza then this was it. We were made to feel really welcome and the service was impeccable. A very quirky country pub and great live music. A good selection of beers and very reasonable prices. Would highly recommend. Thank you The lion.

Stayed here for a night and it was brilliant. Full of old world character. Staff are lovely and the rooms are very nice. The pizzas are also fantastic, they smoke their own meats on site and are definitely worth a go. Brilliant atmosphere in the evenings, feels like the whole village ended up there. Can’t recommend it enough. Great to find pubs/ Inns like this. Thank you!
