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. If you’re looking for a venue for a meeting or event – please talk to us, we would love to host you.
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? Tell us! We’re always keen to hear your suggestions.
