🤔 Think you've got what it takes to be quiz champions?

The first Thursday has traditionally been our monthly quiz night, but don't turn up with your thinking caps just yet...

📢 Quiz Night has moved to Mondays and now takes place every TWO WEEKS!

So there's even more chance to put your knowledge to the test, enjoy a great evening at the pub, and battle it out for quiz glory.

👥 Get your team together, pick your brainiest friends (or the ones who know a lot of random facts!), and book your table now.

🐟 And because all that thinking works up an appetite, delicious fish and chips will be available from Ocean Tree 5-8pm

Who's ready for the next quiz? 🎉

So much to look forward to this month - starting with our first meeting of Gin Club tomorrow evening 🍸

Just drop in between 5-7pm to enjoy a chat and a glass of something cold (it doesn't have to be gin!)

This month we will be tasting a local Gin by Vault Aperitivo - distilled just down the road in Saffron Walden.

This , we want to say a huge thank you to every single person who has volunteered their time, skills, energy and enthusiasm to The Lion.

Quite simply, we would not be here without you.

From the very beginning, it was volunteers who enabled us to save, buy and renovate the pub. Hundreds of people gave their time in so many different ways - from planning and fundraising, to building, painting, gardening, cleaning, organising events, professional advice, practical skills and endless encouragement.

And that spirit continues today.

Our volunteers make The Lion so much more than just a pub. They maintain and develop our historic building and glorious garden; run the café; organise regular events like our book club and support major ones like our beer festival; serve on the management committee, and continue to bring fresh ideas, passion and community spirit to everything we do.

Our paid staff also go above and beyond every single day, because together we are all committed to ensuring The Lion remains at the heart of our community for generations to come.

From the bottom of our hearts - thank you. Every hour given, every idea shared and every helping hand allows us to build something truly special. 🙏❤️
