Welcome to The Lion at Ickleton

A Community Owned Freehouse

Welcome to The Lion!

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

Set on the ancient Icknield Way and National Cycle Route 11, we’re the ideal stop for walkers, cyclists, and travellers, with a beautiful garden, pétanque pitch, and a warm welcome for dogs on leads.

Come and try our new menu – we’d love to welcome you in!

Join our Team!

As a thriving community-owned free house supported by over 400 shareholders, The Lion is looking for experienced hospitality professionals to lead the pub forward.
