On the way back home from Clarks Village in Street on Sunday, we planned on eating sunday lunch in the new Beefeater carvery. It was fully booked with an hours wait, so we ventured further home and came across 'The Lion' in Pennard. They had a table for us, with an open fire and also a carvery! It was delicious!... More

One dismal, cold, wet and windy Monday leading up to Christmas, we decided to try and brighten up our day by going out for lunch. Having neglected to make a reservation, we discovered that the pub/restaurant that we had initially opted for in Shepton Mallet was closed that day, so we headed out on the Glastonbury road to 'The Lion'....

We came across this pub on our way home one Sunday on a previous visit to Somerset. They serve a carvery on a Sunday from 12 to 1430.

I stayed at this hotel in mid oct and liked the location. The night sky was awe inspiring with no street lights. The rooms themselves are very dated with no shower. The bathrooms were shoddy and there is a lack of attention to detail, eg, the mastic around the bath was past it's time and looked scruffy. The rooms smelt... More

The Lion at Penard is situated in a good location, which is lucky for them as I am unsure if they would still be in business! They did not have enough jugs for water, we were informed that if we required more glasses or water, we were to go the bar by the waitress. We asked for some heat in... More
