What’s The Lion At Malpas All About?
We are opening the doors to a beautifully refurbished, warm and vibrant pub where customers can enjoy food, drinks and quality time with loved ones. The pub is newly renovated aims to combine a quality offer in a relaxed environment that reflects the vibrant history of Malpas.
The pub is cleverly segmented to offer ‘an area for everyone’ whether you are looking to drink and chat with friends or choosing to sit quietly and relax with your well-behaved four-legged friend when watching the racing. There is also a range of dining areas too, whether the light and airy Orangery or a quiet corner for a candle lit dinner with a special person. It goes without saying that all areas of the pub are child-friendly for family meals.
Our aim is to be your local pub and then some, a place where you can relax, unwind and create great memories. We’re also fortunate enough to host a local treasure – a centuries-old chair that was believed to have been sat upon by James I himself when he once visited to watch a cock fight. It is owned by the residents of Malpas, who have kindly chosen The Lion to display it. You can find this wonderful piece of history opposite the bar area, where you’ll also find out more about its heritage.
Fabulous Food
We’re excited to soon be unveiling our menus. The kitchen will showcase the very best local produce with meals prepared to reflect the seasons alongside the pub classics one would expect to see. The menus are updated daily to showcase the fresh ingredients, each cooked in a variety of ways including on a state of the art Josper oven, using Cheshire coals to produce unique and beautiful smoky flavours.
