Our Story

Rooted in Rugby

The Old Lion is a modern Indian pub rooted in the local community. It brings together the comfort of a traditional British pub with the bold, familiar flavours of an Indian kitchen.

Whether it’s a relaxed lunch, an evening meal with friends, or a casual drink at the bar, The Old Lion is designed to feel welcoming and unpretentious.
Alongside food, the pub regularly hosts events and gatherings that bring people together, making it as much a social hub as it is a place to eat and drink.
