A Village Local
for 200 Years

Standing proudly on Main Street for two centuries, The Black Lion is a Grade II listed traditional real ale pub at the heart of Blackfordby. These walls have seen generations of locals gather for good ale, homemade food, and good company.

We're a proper village pub. No pretence, no gimmicks. Just a warm welcome, well-kept real ales, honest homemade food, live weekend music, and the kind of atmosphere you can only find in a genuine local. Dog friendly, with a lovely beer garden for the warmer months.
