The Black Lion Inn has a traditional open fires, and a walker's bar for those wishing to have a meal and drink after a long day's walk. Our menu contains fine steaks, vegetarian dishes, and a selection of children's meals. Our current menu can be downloaded (requires Adobe Acrobat Reader). Bookings are welcome and large groups or parties, who can be accomadated in our dining room which also has an open fire. In addition to our menu, we have a home made daily specials menu which has a number of tempting meals from £7 per head.

Lunch can be ordered from noon everyday except Mondays when we do not open until 7pm. During the spring and summer months, meals are also served in our attractive beer garden / outdoor dining area with stunning views of the valley.

We offer bed & breakfast accommodation in a traditional family run inn. We have two double rooms for £55 per night each, and a large family room for four people costing £100 per night. These prices include a full traditional English breakfast for each resident. To book a room or make a general enquiry, please phone or fax us on 01538 304232, or drop us an e-mail. Callers from outside of the UK should call 00 44 1583 304232.

We are roughly 7 miles from Alton Towers and 7 miles from Leek. For directions, we suggest visiting Via Michelin, using our postcode (ST13 7SP) as your destination. We have a large car park which is strictly for patrons only. Once you reach Butterton, head for the church which we are directly opposite. The entrance to our car park is to the side, taking the first left turn after the front of the pub.

Buffet service
We also offer a buffet service and often take bookings for weddings, christenings, business meetings, or any other event. We offer three choices of buffet menu, but are more than happy to discuss different requests. Buffets are held in our spacious dining-room. Please contact us for details.

We hope to see you soon, Bob & Carol Davies.
