We came yesterday for the trivia night & a taste of home. First of all just wanted to say how brilliant the servers were- getting us a table at the last minute & being very personable.
A few notes for the english;
Though described as a pub, its definitely more a restaurant- make a booking!
& don't be a purist- we got served a cider in a guiness glass, so we had a good laugh.

On the food- the sticky toffee desser was excellent, though my minestrone was quite watery & my sisters fish was described as large fish fingers rather than a traditional fish & chips.

Overall, a great experience, would recommend.

First time to burgundy lion, we had great service, the waitress was very nice & very helpful. The drinks & food came quickly.

However…… the food was so salty (we had fish & chips, curry & the burger ) & the curry was inedible , the salt overpowered everything. The fish & chips portions were so small they should rename it to fish sticks & chips. The fish had half decent flavour but for the price we should have definitely gotten another piece as it is not given away. The portion of fries was very small as well.

Best fish & chips I've ever had. That entrée egg was something special.

The best part was my beautiful server, Emily, she's the nicest soul ever. I'd come again just for her.

10/10.

Fantastic experience at Burgundy Lion! The fish & chips were absolutely spot on crispy batter, flaky fish, & perfect chips. What really made the visit stand out, though, was our waitress. She was super fast, incredibly friendly, & didn't miss a beat. Easily one of the best English pub experiences I've had in a while. Highly recommended!!

This place is a classic. The food has definitely changed over the years, but you can't go wrong with a burger or fish & chips. Also the bangers & mash are so good. The staff is great too & the vibes are awesome.
