We decided to try the Black lion for food although the reviews were very mixed we liked the idea of food served all day on a Sunday so we didn't have to eat too early so a booking was made for ten of us three children were included, to my surprise kids ate free with a paying adult.

Walked into bar and barman total ignored us as he was talking,asked a young girl and she told us to go straight into restaurant, and from the time we sat down it took an hour for us to get our food, and we were the only ones in there. Food was ok when we got it.

We stayed in the Black Lion in June for a wedding nearby and found it handy, good value and a comfortable place to stay. The owner was very accomodating allowing us in slightly early to get ready and also due to my own booking error happily changed date without charge. Pub downstairs had a lovely warm atmosphere and good food.... More

We have just spent a night at this great little inn whilst attending a family celebration nearby. The location is excellent and very easy to find. The staff were very welcoming and the overall atmosphere was what is expected from a traditional English pub. On arrival we were shown to our room . It was clean, quiet, and was nicely... More

We dined here on Saturday evening at around 6.30pm having stayed at the Halland Forge oppersite and being disapointed with the service there. We sat down and ordered 6 main meals... the bar is lovely old style english pub and the restaurant a gem, with rustic old theme throughout. The menu is small but lovely choice and the service from...

After requesting early use of rooms for a wedding and double checking a week before arrival and being assured this was all fine, our rooms weren't ready, infact not even started tho the place was empty. We weren't offered an apology but we were given coffee while we waited 30 minutes which left us little time to get ready :(... More

First impressions count you would think, and you would be correct. the hotel is a pub with rooms which in most cases is ok except when it is trying to be something it will never achieve. The room was small but had a comfortable bed, the shower room was small and could have been in better condition but the one... More

We stayed there for one night only - after a wedding in a nearby village. The bed was really comfy, breakfast was a full English served with a smile and the staff were brilliant. We felt we got excellent value for money. Clean sheets, towels and bathroom with the only criticism being that the room was very hot and we... More

My husband and I stayed at the Black Lion on 5th November as a base to visit Bonfire Night in Lewes. Check in was at 2pm, but we arrived early at 1.15pm. Our room was already ready, but we chose to have a drink and some food in the bar area first. I had a very tasty scampi and chips,... More

We had paid for breakfast but we were told it was not available at 7.30 even though it clearly states that it is on a card in the room. (However we were left some unappealing sandwiches in tin foil on the floor outside our room. They represented their own health risk as cheese is not recommended after a night at... More
