The Lion sits in the heart of Earls Colne village in Essex, which is circa 20 miles from Colchester Town. The Lion is a grade II listed building which has a 14th century tudor exterior and exudes character internally, including an open fire. The trading area is has three distinct trading areas, a carpeted area for dinners, a bar for the locals which leads seamlessly into a wooden-floored lounge area which is popular with locals wanting to dine out with the pooches. Internally there are 72 covers, which are serviced by a well-equiped catering kitchen which boosted a pizza oven which can cook pizzas in just over 3 minutes. Outside there is a large well-appointed court-yard beer garden with seating for a further 36 covers. The site benefits from having a small car park (10 cars), but there’s loads of off-street parking when things get busy.

With the secure beer garden and wooden floors the pub is a mecca for families and those wishing to dine out, or have a drink having walked the dog in the evening.
