The Lion Wendlebury - Bicester

We visited here on the day we moved out of liverpool to the south. we decided to treat ourselves to a nice meal before we drive to the house to crash for the night and to buy and unpack the next day. we did not know the area and decided to make only one trip and see what we found. we stumbled on a road sign for the lions in wendlebury. when we arrived, the building looked absolutely beautiful from the outside, the hanging baskets made it really so inviting and beautiful and the flower colors were really nice and gave a fab scent. so first impressions were really good. we went in and were pleasantly surprised, we asked if they had space for us, and they did. the host asked if we had been before what we said we had not done so that we showed the three different restaurants from which we could choose, and there is really something for everyone. from a bar/sub area, to a chic restaurant area, to a fabulous escaping area in the open. we decided to sit outside as the night was glorious, and we sat next to the kitchen and facing a beautiful open fire, the furniture was comfortable and clean and very well presented and well maintained without seeing a mark on the glass table top. the waitresses were incredibly attentive and polite, nothing was too much to ask, and the service was fast and to a very high standard. the eating was extraordinary, the children's meals were of an extremely high standard and the adult meals were perfect. the kitchen was open, and we could see inside and the place looked flawless. there were always people who care about eating as soon as the bell went for the service, and there were many employees milling to meet the needs of the customers as soon as they were needed. the atmosphere was also wonderful. it is now my favorite place to go for everyone, and if someone needs a master class, how to do things in a local operation to accommodate all culinary experiences, then this is the place to visit. everything from external and internal facilities was perfectly clean, well presented and well thought-out. I can't judge this place high enough and if they haven't been, they have to visit. a job that is well done by all.

We booked yesterday the lavender room for Mother's Day and it was nice. the idea behind the setting of this room was to make Mother's Day special, both my man and I lost our maternal grandmothers last year and that was the first Mother's Day without them. we wanted our mothers to be clear about it and have a big celebration about how amazing they are both. from the day I was interested in the room, the manager was nothing but helpful and gave me all the information I needed, communication was excellent. we arranged to be there 2 hours before everyone arrived so that we could decorate the room. the personal had already prepared the table and the dame that would serve us this day, imagined and made sure that we were in order and had everything we needed. the eating was amazing, and at the end of the meal the mother received a baptism of daffodils. a so beautiful personal note to make the day more unforgettable. I recommend this beautiful pub for a meal or for a family celebration and I will certainly return. many thanks once again for making what we thought could be a hard day in one we never forget x x x x x x

Visited the lions today for Sunday dinner. we were a table of 6. the pub is beautifully decorated with many nooks wars oozes charm character. was a busy lunch service, but the service was fantastic. choose the 3 curs menu £24.95 the adult started with the cursive pork pate smoked salmon-tasting delicious. the main thing was the little one. huge portions with bratkartoffeln, yorkshire pudding a good selection of crispy vegetables. always concerned that the meat will be dry but not at all. dessert was the eton chaos of the chocolate brownie. wow wow wow. the personal was attentively friendly. my 10-year-old nephew said after he had eaten his Sampi chips sticky toffee on Sunday- I had to eat every last morsel sooo delicious. a beautiful sound. will definitely recommend

Last night went to lion for the first time in wendlebury and it was amazing. all the staff were so friendly and the whole place looked great. it is a bit more expensive then some places, but if that is eating that is good that cares. I would recommend to everyone to go and I will definitely be back soon

Great beer (serves Shipyard), wine (esp Shiraz Rioja), food (burgers, fish chips, steak ribs all yummy), welcoming management staff, relaxed social atmosphere (depending on the day) and decor is well done. Taxi from Bicester approx £5-9. Well worth it
