This is what the local should be like, good range of beers, pub grub, Sky Sports etc and great locals with a bellyful of laughs

Food was not good steak over cooked scampi over cooked, love the pub but food, never again, wish I went to the chip shop.

One of the best pubs in Penarth. Always a good atmosphere.

Lovely food cooked fresh . Dog friendly and good prices great staff will be back

Great choice of drinks, phenomenal food! Welcoming staff, what more do you need!

Very friendly and mid range (for Penarth) prices. Nice to have a pub near the TC with a garden.

Yes! Proper pub, comfy, full of locals, little beer garden, excellent music choices and a great array of beers. Grey trees and VOG options on cask. What a great find.

Great food. Ridiculous portions. Surprisingly cheap! We turned up during a national rugby match and the atmosphere was amazing. Still gave top service despite being very busy. Would highly recommend.

Four of us went and had a couple of beers each. Very reasonable prices, well kept beer and friendly staff. Good atmosphere, dog friendly, eclectic Juke box. Small but very nice pub.

Had really lovely Sunday lunch .Will defo return ...soon ..

Lovely food, really well decorated and a lovely local pub vibe

Haven’t been to the lion for a while. Thought We’d give it a go tonight. My partner ordered fish and chips, I ordered steak and onion sandwich with chips and onion rings. Partners fish wasn’t even cooked, my steak and onion sandwich was lovely. Chips were awful. They forgot my onion rings and then when they did bring them, was just a load of batter on the plate. Not sure whether they have a new cook in there, but tbh was the worst food we’ve had in a long time.

Great proper pub with character and independent cask ales from welsh brewers

Always been a great pub. With hard working staff. Even better now that they have John Smiths on tap again

Excellent find for Sunday lunch. Good value roast chicken or beef with food on plate rather sharing bowls. Regular was plenty. Only downside was wife is vegan, gluten and nut free but had big portion of sweet potato fries and lots of salad. Lovely friendly pub with excellent service. Will definitely go again next time there

Perfect little traditional pub with a warm, friendly atmosphere. Great for small gathering or quiet pint with your dog.

Friendly and professional service. Really good, beer/cider. Recommended

Nice and relaxed place, ideal for a fast launch meal and also for an evening with sports lovers (Sky tv available). Good and abundant food. Very kind staff.

Been going hear for years+absolutely loved the food untill 3 weeks ago! I had gammon+chips +it tasted strong of fish as I don't think the oil as been changed in months . They don't peel the potatoes for the chips either! It was almost unedible but I eat most of it as I was so hungry. Please landlord! Go back to how it used to be as I miss eating there so much.

We toured Wales on our bikes and we made this our local when we were out for food and a drink,fantastic boozer with a nice balanve between old school and modern,loved ot.

Good well run local. If a traditional pub with a juke box and sport on TV is your thing, then this is the place in Penarth.

Lovely food.. The burger n chips were delicious. Staff and locals were friendly. Came across this by accident but glad we dud. Had a very enjoyable evening.

Lovely pub; delicious food with good sized portion (fish and chips was brilliant and great flavour), excellent friendly service from the staff, and well priced. Nice enclosed beer garden at the back. Highly recommended, we will return.
