We were out on a Sunday drive and thought we would stop for lunch. Popped in here and had a great lunch. Generous portions and friendly staff. Definitely recommend.
We went to the black lion on 22/01/17 and wow what a great pub and restaurant food was perfect service was also perfect staff friendly couldnt fault it one bit i would highly recommend it to anyone thinking about going.
Have known this pub for 25 years and this was my first chance to visit since its refurbishment and my word it does not let you down. The food is great and the choice is well spread, so is the beer and the vine. Excellent value for money we left stuffed with a smile on our faces very friendly with good service.
My Mother in-law took us here for Sunday dinner . Joe who served us was amazing great customer service he gave us recommendations and his choices were fantastic . The staff here were so friendly . Very clean and wonderful atmosphere. Prices were bang on you get what you pay for. Portions are amazing!. Thank you to all at the Black Lion for a wonderful experience. Appledor Is a wonderful village . A must see
Had a fantastic boozy lunch here. With beautiful bar bites and cocktails to wash it down with. Would highly recommend a visit polite and attentive staff and relaxed atmosphere.

One of the best "posh" pub meals we've had in a long time. The food is well presented and was really good. Service was friendly and accommodated our requests for slight changes. It was nice to see a village pub busy with drinks
Great newly open pub! Lovely owners and stunning decor. Delicious food. Really lovely atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Very good addition to appledore. We shall be back for sure.
Wish I could award 6 stars!...Visited twice approx 4 weeks ago and wanted to ensure that after passing of time my opinion / recommendation remained the same.
On both visits staff were welcoming and attentive without being introsive.
Relaxed atmosphere...welcoming staff...sensible prices... Furniture and fittings well suited to this village pub... which you've probably guessed is high on my list of preferred watering holes.
I wish owner and staff well ( they deserve it!)
Found this love in the Summer. Great food, large portions and for a good price. Staff are friendly and attentive and lovely seating inside or out. A place i will definitely keep visiting!!
It was our first visit to the Black Lion in Appledore and we were not disappointed. The decor was modern but there still kept the charm of a village pub. The service was great and our Sunday lunch was exceptional. It had a great atmosphere and we will definitely be returning.
Eat there this evening. Really good. Lovely food. Great service. Good atmosphere.
Had the fish and chips. Was done perfectly. Fish was fresh and white. The batter was light and non greasy.
My partner had the mussels. So good.
Would thoroughly recommend this place. Will definitely go back.

First time back in Black Lion since it has been reopened. We called in for Sunday lunch as it was so hot we didn’t really want a roast, I asked was it possible to have a ploughman’s the young lad serving said he would go and check he came back and said no problem the chef would do it, three of our party had ploughman’s and one had mussels. The food was very good the service was great. We will definitely be back for a roast when the weather cools down as the roasts they bought out for other dinners looked really good. If it carries on like this I think the new owners are definitely on to a winner. Also they are dog friendly which is always a bonus.
