ABOUT US
Welcome to the Black Lion!
A charming 14th Century Public House nestled on the B184 Great Dunmow to Ongar Road, in High Roding. Originally a coaching inn where coaches travelling from London to Norwich would stop to allow travellers to freshen up and horses to be changed. Now, it is a country Public House with a warm atmosphere perfect for any occasion. Enjoy a refreshing beer in the summer or a hearty Sunday roast by the fire during colder months. Our evolving menu features a wide selection of locally sourced dishes, freshly prepared by our talented kitchen team, along with a variety of Guest Ales that change weekly. Join us for sports, fun events, and don’t miss our delightful afternoon tea with prosecco.
We look forward to welcoming you!
