The Lion Inn - West Somerset

I drank at the lion inn for a couple of years and was constantly harassed by the local idiot. One evening the local idiot threatened and attacked me as l tried to leave,, avoid this pub at all costs !

We’ve been staying in timberscombe for a few days and been into the lion inn every evening. We have felt so welcome and regulars have chatted to us each time. Malcolm is such a welcoming host. Our dogs have probably made as many friends as we have and on occasion there have been almost as many dogs as people. Such a great village pub a community hub at its best

We had a wonderful lunch at the Lion with our family served by Sam who gave a fantastic service . The food was excellent . Nice atmosphere and very welcoming of our 4 dogs.

Overall, the food at the restaurant was good, but the triple cooked chips were disappointing as they were greasy, soggy, and limp. We mentioned this to the waitress when she cleared our plates, but the landlady came over with a poor and defensive attitude, blaming the potatoes that were delivered. We did not receive an apology and her demeanor was quite shocking. I have never been treated like this in a pub after giving some simple feedback.

We visited a few times on our weeks holiday, and found the locals/dogs really welcoming along with the staff. We had a delicious meal on our first visit, belly pork and steak cooked to perfection. On our second occasion we just had starters again both very good. And third visit to eat just as good. We certainly would go back if ever in the area.
