Celebrate New Year’s Eve 2025 at The Lion

As the clock struck midnight, we were surrounded by everything and everyone that made our year fabulous – friends, family, and gorgeous dishes and drinks.

Then, once the new year started, so did the creation of our show-stopping New Year’s Eve 2025 Menu in Farningham – which our skilled chefs have been working on ever since!

This is one countdown that will take longer than ten seconds, so please come back soon, when we get ready to celebrate the end of another wonderful year at The Lion.
