⚽️ Information Ahead of Saturday Night’s England Match ⚽️

Live music will be starting at 6pm and finishing around 8pm in our garden 🌞🎶

We still have a couple of tables available on our terrace. We aren’t taking deposits; however, if you are more than 20 minutes late, unfortunately we may have to release your table to other customers.

Our restaurant, main bar and booth areas are also available to book, all with multiple screens showing the match. The restaurant area for football viewing will be available to book from 9pm, with last food orders at 7:30pm.

Walk-ins are welcome, but please be aware that if you don’t have a table booked, there is a chance we may not have availability for a table on the night.

Unfortunately, we also need to address something that has recently been brought to our attention. We have had individuals bringing their own alcohol onto our premises. This is something we will not tolerate. Anyone found bringing their own alcohol into the pub will be asked to leave immediately and will be barred from returning. (This is something that goes for any day - not just Saturday).

We hope everyone understands that we’re trying to run a business and provide the best atmosphere possible for all our customers. If you’d rather drink your own alcohol, then please do so at home. 😄👍🏽

We’re so excited for another fantastic night at The Black Lion and can’t wait to welcome you all on Saturday!
