"As a group we 've drank here for over a decade without there ever being an issue until last night (we 're all 45+ . The landlord appeared at closing time and started shouting the odds at us and became aggressive towards us as we left. I don 't think he like cyclists it 's not wise to pretend to phone the police about your clientele as they are leaving peacefully claiming that they are too drunk to stand and threatening the staff, especially when you have CCTV. Demanding that we leave immediately then threaten to lock us in the courtyard if we didn 't was somewhat counterproductive. The lion always had 3 top notch guest ales on until recently, now they usually have one half decent guest, and one dire one along with the trio of Weetwood house ales. I 've never eaten here, only consumed the beer, so I won 't comment on the food, but with an attitude like that it 's probably better that the landlord who is also the head chef stays in the kitchen for his and others safety. Whilst the pub is charming and beers can be good (they are certainly well kept the landlords attitude certainly marrs the experience. Edit. I feel I need to add more to this. When we left, I had a laugh and joke with the young barmaid about me falling down the stairs several months earlier, her response was, oh, so, you 're stair man! With that in mind, I really can 't imagine that she was scared of us at all.. I 'm not going to deny that I told him I 'd C U Next Tuesday as locking our bikes in was an unwarranted and unnecessary threat. At 1135 two of us nipped to the gents as we were leaving, nobody asked us to leave up to this point and the landlord charged into the gents and hurled a tirade of abuse at us, he then stormed outside and threatened to lock our bikes in (he told the police that he offered to keep them safe! , we left and then, he charged out of the open front door (after I spoke to the barmaid at the open front door stating that the landlord is a bit lively issuing threats to myself whilst allegedly on the phone to the police. If the pub was as closed as he said, why were people still leaving via the front door? The police reviewed the footage and sided with us. Just so you know folks, the landlord here banned the entire Nantwich Cycle Group from this pub too, why? Because he doesn 't like cyclists. Ladies and gentlemen, vote with your wallets, there are plenty of pubs in this town that are welcoming, sadly, the landlord of this one is not. In the 48 years I 've been alive, I 've never been treated like this in any establishment. Vote with you wallets people and Pick a welcoming establishment, I 've posted this publicly with my profile, so, I have nothing to hide. The landlord is hiding behind his business. I wish him the best...."

I absolutely adore this pub. The building is ancient and stunning, and the service is top-notch. They offer a great variety of local beers, many of which are from Weetwood. This isn't your typical Madri/Moretti pub - it's a truly beautiful establishment with wonderful staff.
Isabel
Had a lovely dinner and many rounds of drinks. The staff were lovely and friendly, as were the locals. The fire was going and warmed up the place a treat. A lovely pub to come to when either starting or just finishing the four counties ring, or even just visiting Nantwich. Reasonable price for a round of drinks for 7 people! Will definitely come back when we venture back up North!
