Very disappointed with the food and the service unfortunately. I ordered the monumental burger, not particularly monumental to be honest, and never got the onion rings as described, and it was very greasy. My wife ordered the steak pie and requested chips instead of mash, she got mash ! When we mentioned it when they eventually bothered to come over and check the manager?? Said he took it personally, but he did nothing about it took our half eaten meals away and that was it. No offers or apology. So we won't go back. I could be more forgiving if it was busy, but only 3 couples in.

Went for a meal with friends last night , food really nice. Met at the desk by someone I can only imagine was having a bad day, grumpy manner from start to finish. We waited ages on our main course , nearly an hour I believe. Last waitress to take our desert order forgot to place it as I think she was due to finish her shift so our desert order obviously wasn’t too important. Very disappointed in the whole experience, first time we have ever been disappointed in the place.

Stayed at the Golden Lion for 2 nights. Had dinner on the first evening which was lovely. The food was fantastic with a great choice. Excellent service. We also had small plates on the second day and breakfast both mornings. All the food was excellent. The restaurant is lovely. The price was very reasonable both for food and drinks. Thanks to all the staff . We will definitely be back.

Our meal last night was amazing, we didn’t have to wait very long after ordering. Food was tasty and well presented, compliments to the chef. Our service from Helen was first class, very chatty and very knowledgeable regarding the food on the menu, she never pressured us to make a decision and gave us time to decide. We were celebrating our wedding anniversary which Helen wish us best wishes, we had our reception in the Golden Lion, 41 years back to celebrate and we were not disappointed. Thank you for an excellent experience.

Our party of 6 was apprehensive at first when our server told us they were out of the 3 main entrees (turkey, salmon, and ribeye). However, the appetizers and remaining entrees were delicious and beautifully presented. Service was friendly.
