The Merrie Lion - Stratford-on-Avon

I arrived late at night looking for a room having broken down on the M40. I’d been standing in the dark and getting cold by a busy motorway for a couple of hours before I found The Merrie Lion, and what a treat it was. The hospitality I received was incredible. The bar was lively, very friendly, beer well kept and my room was in an adjacent building, purpose built, and spotlessly clean with nice modern decor and a superbly comfortable bed. Thank you Merrie Lion.

A good menu with wide choices. Very friendly staff, efficient and discrete. Food arrived ahead of promise and excellent quality.

Absolutely fantastic food!!!!! Best burger I've ever had and great draught ale. This place is a hidden gem!

Stayed for three nights to celebrate our 30th Wedding Anniversary and attend a local wedding. We ate Sunday lunch and Monday evening in the pub the food was without exception fabulous and beautifully presented. The accommodation is in a separate building and is well equipped and furnished to a high standard. Breakfast was plentiful and up to the same high standards as all other meals. Lots of choice and happy to make changes to their standard plates. Daphne and all of her staff were amazing and nothing was too much trouble. We were made to feel very welcome. If we are ever in the area we would not consider staying any where else. Thank you from all of us for making our stay so fantastic.

The Sunday roast at this restaurant was absolutely delicious. We tried both the roast beef and roast pork, and they were both cooked perfectly. The beef was tender and available in rare, medium, or well-done options. The pork loin came with tasty crackling. There was also a great variety of fresh vegetables to choose from. The service was friendly and attentive. I highly recommend this place.
