The Lion at Basford

Head down Mosley Street in New Basford and you'll find The Lion doing what a good pub should: serving people who actually live nearby. The sort of place where regulars have their usual spot at the bar, the staff remember your order, and Friday nights get properly rammed without feeling manufactured about it. You're getting proper pub grub here—nothing pretentious—alongside decent cask ales and the kind of wine list that suggests someone actually cares. It's got that lived-in comfort that makes you want to stay longer than you planned.
