Seven weeks in, and we’ve already packed in a Bank Holiday weekend full of food, music, and unforgettable moments. What a start! 🔥

We’ve served up pizzas and fish and chips, turned up the house music, and hosted our first arry’s AFTER HOURS event - even if the British weather had other plans and sent the party indoors. ☔️🎶

But this is only the beginning…

👨‍🍳 Private chef takeovers are taking shape
🍽️ We’re continuing the search for the right full-time chef
🧠 Our monthly quiz is coming
🎤 Music and open mic nights are on the way
🎨 Paint & Sip, Bingo, Medium Nights and Oktoberfest are all being planned behind the scenes 👀

Keep your eyes peeled, stay tuned, and get ready for everything coming next at The Black Lion. The best is yet to come. 🦁♥️

The perfect way to round off the Bank Holiday weekend.

And a little thank you to everyone who joined us last night for Arry’s AFTER HOURS. 🎶♥️ With the rain setting in, we moved the party into the bar, the music was incredible, with house classics filling the bar all night. 🎶

Now, who’s joining us for a Chippy Sunday? 🐟🍟♥️

We loved being part of a very special 30th birthday celebration in the garden on Saturday.

And obviously, when you’re celebrating at The Black Lion, you need pizza. 😉

A couple of birthday pizzas got the 30 treatment too. 🥹🍕

Good food, good people, a garden full of sunshine and a pretty special reason to celebrate.

We love seeing The Black Lion being used for all the moments that matter. ♥️🦁

Happy 30th! We hope you had the best time. 🥂

𝐀𝐑𝐑𝐘’𝐒 𝐀𝐅𝐓𝐄𝐑 𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒 🦁🎶🌅

HOUSE MUSIC. GOLDEN HOURS. SUNSETS.

This Bank Holiday Saturday, we’re bringing something a little different to The Black Lion.

🎶 DJ ON THE DECKS, LITERALLY ON ARRY’S BAR
6pm - 11pm

Absolute house classics, the garden glowing as the sun goes down, drinks in hand and nowhere else you’d rather be.

But we’re starting the party a little earlier…

✨ 𝐆𝐎𝐋𝐃𝐄𝐍 𝐇𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐒
3pm - 5pm

Selected drinks will be on offer, including our brand new Spritz menu, so grab a drink, find your spot in the garden and let the afternoon turn into evening. 🍹☀️

And before all of that?

Come and make a day of it.

Bring the family. Bring a picnic blanket. Grab a bench in the garden and settle in. 🌿

🍽️ Light lunches 12pm - 5pm

🍕 Wood-fired pizzas 2pm - 7pm

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family friendly garden all afternoon

Then as the sun starts to drop…

The garden glows.

The music starts.

The Spritzes keep flowing.

And Arry’s AFTER HOURS begins. 🎶🌅

Think classic house anthems, golden-hour dancing, a Spritz in your hand and that little moment where you realise… you’re exactly where you want to be. 🌅🍹🎶

Come for lunch.

Stay for Golden Hours.

Stay even later for Arry’s AFTER HOURS.

Bank Holiday Saturday at The Black Lion.

This one is going to be special. ♥️🦁

Six weeks ago we opened the doors to a new chapter at The Black Lion.

And honestly, we could never have imagined what these six weeks would look like.

The support, the busy nights, the pizzas, the sunsets, the new faces, the familiar ones… you’ve completely blown us away. ♥️

Now we’re ready to start planning lots more.

And what better way to kick things off than with Bank Holiday weekend? 👀

🍕 Friday: Pizza as usual

🎶 Saturday: Arry’s AFTER HOURS
All will be revealed tonight. 👀

🐟 Sunday: Chippy Sunday from 4pm

And Saturday might just have a little bit of everything we’ve been loving about The Black Lion so far…

🌅 Sunsets
🎶 Music
🍹 New drinks
🍕 Pizza

This is only the beginning. 🦁♥️

Keep your eyes peeled tonight. 👀
