ABOUT US

​

Having grown up in a pub and worked in pubs since the tender age of 14, Pete went on to train with Mitchells & Butlers (well, Bass back then!) in 1992.  30 years later he still loves pubs more than anything else.

​

In particular he adores the City and has always been driven to run pubs in this very special little square mile.  Being an indepedent owner operator of The Lion is a real passion and source of pride for Pete.

​

Every detail is meticulously managed.  It's a proper pub that is warm, friendly and inviting. Lines are cleaned weekly. Glasses are frozen. Wines are from a lovely independent wholesaler. The food is home cooked (usually by Pete himself), absolutely delicious and generous. Staff are helpful and actually enjoy their job!
