Dear oh dear. Myself and a party of 9 went out for a Xmas meal on Friday 12th December. We pre ordered our meals via E mail as requested by hotel staff. However, on the night we were told that 4 of our party could not get the dessert they had ordered as they had ran out. This was 5.30 pm. ?? The majority of the Staff were sullen , uninterested , inattentive and disorganised. Very poor. The food was also average at best. I asked a staff member if someone could take a drinks order for the table and was told that I could order at the bar. (Sorry, I thought I was the paying customer. ) The restaurant was not busy and we were placed in a soul less area with an infernal piano continually playing. We had gone to the Hotel last Christmas and had a good time. Hence we re -booked. Needless to say, we won’t be back .

Fantastic service and the festive lunch was great value! Food was excellent and the waiting staff couldn’t have been nicer. The restaurant was busy, which meant service was a bit slow. This wouldn’t normally be an issue but my mum had an optician’s appointment and the staff went above and beyond in slowing us to have dessert after she’d been to the opticians! Absolutely wonderful service - thank you!

We had a lovely lunch in Cronies Bar, we had difficulty in getting through on phone & email trying to book. Staff were very good & surroundings excellent. Would highly recommend.

Lovely setting, staff very friendly. I had fish and chips, whilst fish was very tasty, the fish and small portion of chips were cold as was the crumble I had for dessert. Expensive for a lunch.

I’m afraid that our meal was disappointing and mediocre. The AC in the dining room blew out cold air throughout our visit despite the outside temperature being 4c on a cold November day. Although the plates were hot, the food was not , no complaint about the food itself. The service was slow. The meals for two of our party were brought but the other two had to wait 30 mins for theirs, in effect we ate separately, not what was intended for a family birthday lunch. Our order for teas & coffees got lost, we waited 30 mins for those & had to re-order. The serving staff were doing their best butI’m not encouraged to come back.

Been coming to golden lion for years. In for lunch yesterday and disappointed. Soup was luke warm and sandwiches were too big...preferred when quartered easier to eat, tuna also bland, ordered tuna and red onion but it was tuna with 2 large red onion rings on top.
