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.

First time at The Golden Lion for a meal. Super dining experience, lovely food and very welcoming staff. Really set our night out off to a great start. Great atmosphere too, will definitely be back!

Went for High Tea on Sunday afternoon. Has been redecorated since we were last there, giving it a smarter appearance. Service was friendly and very good. Food was very tasty. Sadly we were the only couple in at the time, hopefully this was the lull before Christmas rush.

I had a salad which consisted of half a packet of mixed leaves from any supermarket, 2 slices of cold meat , ham, quartered , that was it, I complained and was told there was a dressing on it and they added a spoonful of coleslaw. I took 4 friends with me who didn’t enjoy their meal either, one has steak pie with cold potatoes and another had “white “ macaroni cheese. Mine was a smaller portion with a cream tea, scones and cakes were ok. The meal was £23 with 2 drinks which came to £35 each. I will never be back, the standards have indeed slipped since the last time I was there. No one came to our table to address the situation which beggars belief since I am being asked to comment on my experience . The waitresses were lovely though. Date 18.10.25

Waited quite a while for drinks but they were very busy with the bloody Scotland festival. 3 times I asked for my drinks but only after finishing meal did they bring them over just before we were leaving. A nice restaurant historic hotel in Stirling
