Always a lovely meal, great service and no doubt will be back at some point soon, and if I’m not, I know about 8 people who are regulars �
Absolutely brilliant pub! Everyone is very friendly, the food and service are excellent and the pub is located right in the heart of the village and dog friendly. Love this place!

Great pub. Dropped in for a couple of pints during a bike ride yesterday. Lovely UBU Purity on tap.
Our new local. Lovely pub right in the middle of the village. We've been in a few times and everyone has been very friendly.
Pride of Fenny is a really nice ale and the food is also delicious.
Highly recommended!

Great food/drinks great staff friendly atmosphere
We called in for Sunday lunch today. It was excellent. Best we've had for a long time . Lovely surroundings,friendly staff and good service. Will definitely be paying another visit.
Great choice of beers and spirits. Very friendly and warming people. Hope to go back there one day when I'm going to or from Oxford.
All of the staff at The Merrie Lion are fantastic! Nothing is too great an ask! The food is amazing! Lovingly cooked and served to a high standard! Certainly one of the highlights to seeing family :) can't wait to the next time!!
We enjoyed a lovely lunch here, nothing was too much trouble, the staff were pleasant and attentive. The food was delicious and we will return soon
Really nice village pub. Good atmosphere and most importantly delicious food, great burger and mixed grill. The waiter was polite, help and attentive too. Will definitely return! Thank you.
Great pub with a good selection of food. Also suitable for vegetarians.
Very well cooked food, nice service.
Various beers to choose from. The various whiskies are also exciting.
Parking in front of the house.
Would love to come back another time.
Lovely village pub, food and service were excellent. I had the roasted vegetable tart which was really delicious, as was the burger according to my partner. The lemon tart for pudding was the perfect balance of tartness and sweetness. The pub is also dog friendly.
Well what can I say. It was a brilliant stay from start to finish.
The accommodation was just what we needed. Comfortable beds and everything in the rooms was excellent. The actual pub its self was a traditional country pub, great atmosphere, beer, and the food from breakfast and the evening meals. excellent value for money.
But a special mention to all the staff from the landlady, serving staff and cleaners all could not do enough for us which made our stay even more outstanding. Thank you to you all it made our sons wedding even more special.
We booked a night's stay here. What a find!! The room had everything we needed. The bed was so comfortable and the shower was good. There was plenty of tea, coffee, milk and biscuits in the room. We both opted for the steak for supper. It was the best meal we have had for a long time. Jess was very friendly and served us well. Breakfast in the morning was amazing. My husband went for a full English and could not manage to eat it all. I opted for the smoked salmon and scrambled eggs. It was amazing. Thank you to Daphne, Jess and the rest of the team. We will be back and highly recommend The Merrie Lion.
Quality of food is superb, make sure you book in advance though. We visited midweek for lunch and there wasn't a spare table in the house so glad we pre booked.
Would definitely recommend if you appreciate decent and well presented food. Not your standard rubbish microwave pub grub.
It is a great hotel with everything you need. The café is very cozy and really a village café. The restaurant is fantastic!! I have rarely had such a tasty steak and the breakfast was fantastic, highly recommended!!!! We booked 5 rooms for 10 people and everyone was enthusiastic.
What can I say the place is out this world and we got told from The couple from dassett view cottage to try this place.
The food is so delicious and would recommend people to co e and try the food.
The atmosphere in the pub was great and love every minute there. Lastly must say the staff in the pub was brilliant and so friendly my heart goes out to them thank you all so much for making our time in the pub so fun thank you
Called in after a walk in the Dassett Hills. Lovely, friendly welcome. Beer was excellent. Two of us had burger and the others had scampi. It arrived promptly and the burger I had was excellent. The accompanying fries were crispy and tasty. All in all a lovely Post walk lunch.
I've just had a lovely lunch here. Very good menu. All the staff were pleasant and helpful. A good place to come to.
