Colchester

Situated on the main street in Earls Colne, The Lion is a friendly and attractive public house. The premises date back to the late 13th century, when they were occupied by one Thomas Segg, a priest of the parish.

The premises are now occupied by Jon Helps & his team, who offer a warm welcome whether you’re just out for a quick pint or dining with friends. The interior is also warm and welcoming, with tasteful traditional furnishings and decor. There are always three real ales on tap including Greene King IPA & Adnams, plus a changing guest ale. A good range of lagers, stout, cider, wines and spirits can also be found at our reputable public house & restaurant.

Excellent hot and cold food is available from either the bar or la carte menus every day, we advise booking for Friday and Saturday evenings and Sunday lunch. You may choose from our comprehensive menu of home-cooked and home-prepared favourites, as well as blackboard specials. At the rear of the pub is a beer garden where barbecues & themed evenings are held in the summer months there is also ample parking.
