We are local residents of Waddesdon, and came for carvery Sunday Lunch on Mothers Day. The service was excellent, the food was delicious, and the whole family thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The carvery is a new addition to The Lion, and I have to say an excellent idea! The roast beef was succulent and perfectly cooked, the roast potatoes crunchy,... More

A very reasonable place to stay for a few nights. We had a lovely room, on the back with King sized comfortable bed. Drinks in the bar were reasonably priced and the quality was good. The main road is quite busy so if you book one, it may be best to ask for a room at the back

Dinner & drinks with a friend at The Lion, mediocre at best. I don't drink beer but my friend said "it wasn't the best". I had a bottled soft drink & a glass of Red wine so anyone would struggle to go wrong there. It seems everything on the menu has 'homemade' in front of it but it certainly didn't... More

Stayed the night here as was visiting school friends in Aylesbury & Oxford and wanted somewhere in between and had already had lunch here a few times. Very welcoming, the room was spotlessly clean and very well appointed. The shower deserves a mention in it's own right as was fab. Had an evening meal which was lovely (I had the... More

Friendly and welcoming staff. On arrival we had two beef sandwiches and two soft drinks which came to over £17! We had a double room at the front of the pub, next to the main road which was rather noisy. The room was clean but the lighting was very poor.The general standard of the room was not that of 4...

Stayed here 2nd November. They had a halloween disco blasting in the evening. Went to our room at 23'00 and noise from disco was horrendous. My partner went to complain only to be told by rude landlady that unfortunately our room was above the speakers and were'nt we young once. We found the booming noise intolerable and their response was... More

Needed to be in this area on business - the Lion was recommended by a highly regarded culinary friend, that I have since thanked.!! I had a pre dinner drink in the bar, the landlady ( I think was called Annette) was the most perfect host and very informative about Waddesdon and its history. In the restaurant, I found the... More

Half way point on a 32 mile walk along Aylsebury Ring we needed an overnight stop, thats where The Lion came into it, now we were tired and due to weather a bit mucky. Anywhere would suffice in this case, but the staff at The Lion were very friendly and helpful, the room was really very nice and facilities excellent... More

Stayed here two nights for a wedding and overall, it was not a bad place we found. The room was big and mostly clean. Our room faced the main road so was a little noisy but overall fine. The curtains were great at keeping the light out the room, but conversely the lighting in the room was awful. The main... More

Just called into the Lion in Waddesdon. Very friendly welcome and atmosphere. Luckily for me it was a Tuesday as they have a special on Fish and Chips. The Landlord was most accommodating and made me some to take away and I must say some of the freshest fish I have had. I look forward to traveling along the A41... More
