This gastro pub is very good. The staff and service throughout the night was very good, very friendly people. The menu was hard to choose from as everything sound good. The food matched the description, it was excellent. Portion sizes are huge so make sure you are hungry. I thought I got way more in quality and quantity than what I paid. And a good beer selection. The IPA I had was very good. This place is worth multiple visits to get through the food and beer menus.

The Lion's Head has very nice and great service. What was standing out was that they tried hard to overcome any challenges for the guest. Very friendly people. The food was great unfortunately for 1 person it arrived very late. Which they found a solution for. I would always go there again
