Welcome to The Lion at Ickleton

A Community Owned Freehouse

🍺 Oktoberfest at The Lion – Saturday 3rd October 🍺

Join us this Saturday from 2 pm for an afternoon and evening of Oktoberfest joy.

We’ve got three live bands, a fantastic selection of beers from local breweries and the BBQ will be fired up with sausages galore – don’t miss it!

Welcome to The Lion!

A community-owned pub in the pretty South Cambridgeshire village of Ickleton. We serve seasonal food, well-kept ales and a warm welcome.

Proudly reopened in 2025, we’re at the heart of village life, close to the Wellcome Genome Campus at Hinxton and just a short journey from Saffron Walden and Imperial War Museum Duxford.

Close to the ancient Icknield Way and right on National Cycle Route 11, we’re a welcoming stop for walkers and cyclists exploring the local countryside. Cycle racks are conveniently located by the garden, and muddy boots are always welcome.

Whether you’re enjoying a pint in our sunny garden, warming up beside the fire or gathering with friends and family over a meal,Β  you’ll find a relaxed atmosphere and a genuinely friendly welcome.

We’re passionate about supporting local breweries and regularly feature a changing selection of guest ales alongside our permanent favourites.

Got a beer you’d like to see on the bar? We’d love to hear your suggestions.
