About us
Wine & Dine at The Lion Inn The Dining Room at the Lion Inn offers a unique dining experience that blends the best of old and new. Guests can enjoy the finest cuisine prepared with locally sourced ingredients, all served in a relaxed setting that embodies the rich history and timeless elegance of the inn. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying a meal out, you can look forward to an unforgettable experience at one of the oldest hotels in Chelmsford, Essex. Whilst we predominantly operate a walk-in service, we have launched an online booking system to allow a limited number of reservations each day. We know you’d expect to find steak, fish & chips and a delicious shortcrust pastry pie but we also hope to tempt you with a number of ‘specials’ which change daily according to supply and season. Our function room, overlooking a water feature and garden area, is a very adaptable space and is available for private hire.
