The Lion

Tucked away behind Shipstone's old brewery, The Lion is surprisingly light, bright and modern in feel. It's busy most evenings and absolutely packed on Sundays for good reason: they serve a brilliant, affordable roast dinner, and have the widest range of real ales in the area. But the all age-ranges crowd-puller is the best Sunday lunchtime jazz in the country. Get a seat early and help yourself to one of the many Sunday papers for this is what Sundays were made for. Well, now that nobody goes to church it's what they're made for.
