Welcome to The Lion at Ickleton
A Community Owned Freehouse
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, 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.
Bank Holiday at The Lion
This August Bank Holiday – why settle for one event when you can have three?
We’ve filled the weekend with bow ties, family fun and a trip down the rabbit hole.
Sensible? Perhaps not. Fun? Absolutely.
Christmas will soon be upon us! If you’re planning a festive meal with family, friends or colleagues, now’s the time to get a date in the diary.
EARLY BIRD: Book by 31 October and receive a free bottle of wine for every four people dining from our festive menu.
