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 beautiful garden, enjoy a game on the pétanque pitch, 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!
We are sorry that our kitchen will be closed for a short period from 22nd April, but you won’t go hungry!
We’ve got a great range of visiting food trucks, The Lion Cafe and a range of other fabulous food options and events coming up – starting with Steak and Honour on 22nd April!
