Fooled by thinking it was meant to cool down today in the kitchen! 🥵😅

I would just like to say a massive thank you to ALL our customers who have been understanding & supporting us this week with our menu tweaks and adjusted service times…..You guys make everything worthwhile! 🥰🦁

To The Lion team we’d be lost without you all!! 🤍🫶

Thirsty Thursday! 🦁🍻
Our kitchen is back open today but we are on a reduced menu to keep our kitchen heat down! 🥵🦁

A massive thank you to my dad, Scott & Yoc who worked tirelessly to get us back up & running! You Guys deserve a medal 🫶

A massive thank you to all our customers for your support & understanding yesterday it really does mean the world to me! 🤍

& a massive shout out to all our staff who even in 45+ degree kitchen still turn up with a massive smile & are a breath of freash air on days I’d rather just hide away! 🦁🤍

Have a great day!

Please Note: Our Kitchen will be closed from 3pm today!

A decision not taken lightly as we were fully booked & still have bills etc to pay but we’ve lost our meat fridge and stock due to the high temperatures causing havoc with the fridges and freezers plus the welfare of our staff comes 1st when the kitchen area is 45+ degrees 🥵🥵

Bookings are being made aware now & I am deeply sorry to let people down🦁
We do have a few bookings that unfortunately we don’t have a number for 😢 if you’ve booked a table today & haven’t received a phone call we are truly sorry but please contact us to discuss or re arrange🦁

We’re are looking at offering a reduced food menu from tomorrow and maybe some slight changes to our food service hours for the next couple of days whilst we fix our fridges and restock, but please ring in advance if you are coming for food so we can keep you up to date on our reduced menu etc. Thank you for your understanding it means a lot! 🦁🥰

Bookings will be informed if we do close & if you are planning to pop down & don’t want to be disappointed please just ring before hand! 🦁

As most of you are aware every year we do a killer of a walk to support the amazing Jon Shaw Foundation this year is no different!!
The team are starting to get the much needed practice walks in!

This will be our 6th year doing the charity walk and without the support from all our amazing customers, family, friends & people we meet on the way it wouldnt be possible 🫶💜
To give everyone some extra motivation I thought I’d share our memories from over the years! 🫶
Team lion smash it every year! And last year we raised an amazing amount of money for the charity & I know this year will be no different! 💜
This year will be the biggest one yet!! Let’s have it! 🙌🏻🙌🏻 fans
