Welcome to The Lion at Ickleton

A Community Owned Freehouse

Welcome to The Lion!

A community-owned freehouse on the Cambridgeshire–Essex border, serving delicious food, proper pints, and a warm, friendly atmosphere.

Set on the ancient Icknield Way and National Cycle Route 11, we’re the perfect stop for walkers, cyclists, and travellers. Settle into our cosy snug or our beautiful garden, and bring your four-legged friends along too – dogs on leads are always welcome.

Our bar celebrates great beer, with a regularly changing selection and a real love for local breweries. We love championing what’s brewed nearby – is there a beer you’d like to see on our taps? Let us know.

Come and visit us – we’d love to welcome you in!

Now open Monday and Tuesday evenings 4.00 – 10.30pm

with visiting food trucks 5-8pm.

Next Tuesday June 16th we are welcoming THE LITTLE BANGKOK – come down to enjoy delicious Thai Street Food.

 See who else we’ve got lined up!
