The Debenham Lion restaurant reviews






Average rating: 4.7
We planned to just call in for a drink after visiting Mickfields Hosta Nursery. The menu looked so inviting that we stayed to enjoy a light lunch there. I had the smoked trout with fennel salad and pickled gerkin starter. Really fab. The other wonderful thing was the range of red wines was just to my taste so I had a job choosing. I went for the 'Les Grains' Pinot Noir which was surprisingly refined, and the best I've tasted in a pub. We will definatly return to enjoy a dinner there.
