Last Saturday, I saw a dad trying to convince his little girl that the chicken nuggets were actually dinosaur-shaped magic food. She wasn’t buying it until he dipped one in ketchup and made a roaring sound. She giggled, and suddenly, the whole pub felt a bit warmer.
That’s the thing about The Lion And The Unicorn. It’s not just about the food; it’s about the moment. The menu brings people together—from the solo diner with a book (that’s me) to the group of friends arguing about football scores. The food is the bridge.
Another time, I watched a couple share a pulled pork burger and a sticky toffee pudding. They were laughing so hard about a spilled milkshake that I almost forgot about my own curry. Almost.
Why You Should Care (Even If You’re Not a Regular)
Maybe you think “pub grub” is just a fancy name for greasy spoons. But here’s the secret: this menu cares about quality without charging a premium. The ingredients are fresh, the portions are generous, and there’s always a real ale or a gin to wash it all down.
Menu at The Lion and Unicorn pub & bar, London
If you’re a student on a budget, you can get a breakfast and a coffee for under a fiver. If you’re a family of four, the kids’ menu is a lifesaver—no tantrums, just happy little faces covered in ice cream.
And for those who think they’ve “been there, done that,” try the specials board. It changes often, featuring seasonal dishes like Lamb Shank with rosemary gravy or a smoky BBQ pulled pork wrap. It’s like a little adventure without leaving your seat.
