Welcome to The Ickleton Lion, a great pub with good food near Saffron Walden.

Mike and Claire have been at the pub for over a year now and have made it the hub of the village again.

Former front of house manager of the year winner Mike Champion & his wife Claire, along with their rosette award winning chefs Jamie & Louise, they have crafted a menu to suit most pallets. With Baguettes & Sandwiches at lunch along with pub classics and full A La Carte alongside a constantly changing specials board and a delicious Sunday lunch menu you will not want for much at The Lion.

We love this building, it is a proper old fashioned village pub nestled in the heart of a lovely semi rural community. Sitting literally on the Essex / Cambridgeshire border the pub is easily accessible from both counties and is not far from junction 9 of the M11.

We serve great pub food and have takeaway Tuesday’s, Steak Friday’s and a fantastic Sunday lunch!

As any good village pub should, the Lion has an extensive range of beers and wines and enough Gins to keep the most fervent drinker engaged.
