Lovely meal as always . We couldn’t fault it. Friendly helpful staff, especially Dee. Would definitely recommend.

Was in for lunch on Saturday very enjoyable food and service was excellent as usual

Great Saturday afternoon lunch with friends. Atmosphere fantastic, good service and food tasty as always.

We had the High Tea menu the food was delicious and great service would recommend it. Great value.

Had an enjoyable lunch here on Saturday. Good meal as usual. Friendly helpful staff. One person in party asked for rose blush glass of wine, but was informed didn’t have any. Later on looking at the wine list , you could buy bottle of this, Why can’t buy by glass now as previously been able to? Vegetarian gluten-free could do with another option as only macaroni. Good selection firWould recommend and will be back.

Hi. We had a lovely dinner at 1730 29 Jun 24. It was originally booked for 1700 but the staff kindly changed the time as we were running late. The meal was lovely and the staff were fantastic. We have a meal in the hotel about once a month. We wouldn't go back if we didn't enjoy it. It's a really great place to relax and enjoy a quiet evening in lovely surroundings. We will continue to eat out at the hotel and I recommend it to everyone.

The ambience and meal were just perfect.

I live about a 5 minute walk from The Golden Lion.It has become my favourite " go to " restaurant when I have friends/family to treat.The appearance from the outside of the hotel sets the scene. The building has existed for many,many years and has a very atmospheric feel to it.... both from the outside and inside.The dining room is impressive both in appearance and decor.all of the foregoing would be meaningless if it was not for the quality of both the staff,and most importantly the quality of the food.the steak Pie is awesome and try as hard as I can I really have to struggle to miss it out.Same can be said for the chicken dish with pepper sauce.Both the starters and Sweet menu is equally impressive!! The quality of the food is very much complimented by the quality of the staff.Although almost always busy rushing about doing their job,they always have time for a cheery word and a bit of banter which rounds off the eating experience and makes you feel good both in the stomach a d mind ensuring you always leave with with a smile on your face and a feeling of contentment in your head.Already looking forward to my next visit!!

We enjoyed a delightful high tea. We have already recommended this to our friends and look forward to returning.

Went here recently with my aunty for a lunch. Service was great but not overbearing, baked fish special was amazing and dessert of chocolate torte was stunning. Love coming here as the atmosphere is always lovely.

Staff were accommodating and happy to converse and knowledgeable about the menu. Food was served hot, with just the right timing between courses. Meat was tender, mash was smooth and veg cooked just right. Would definitely go back

Nice food. Plenty choice. Service a little slow. Wouldn’t stop me going back another time.

Dinner party of five. Seated where requested, lovely bar tender, food was excellent. I had the "Special" Sea Bream which was lovely with potatoes and veg followed by sticky toffee pud and tablet ice cream. Others had steak and chicken which they reported were delicious. Service was good until desert, then our table was not cleared. We sat with dirty dessert plates until we left - even though we were having drinks no attempt was made to clear the table. Bar service was efficient. Overall, we enjoyed the experience! Need to get a better TV for bar area, also update the seating. Some chair had big holes in the arms. A small investment would go a long way.

This was my second time at the Golden Lion. Food & service were brilliant both times. Would highly recommend.

Out for tea with Sheena last night and it was very good. We had the high tea menu, which finishes at six o'clock. Sheena had fish and chips, recommend, Jacqui had the roast of the day (pork) recommend, Derek had the steak pie (made in-house with flaky pastry, recommend, and I had the smoked cheese and bacon macaroni. All followed by scones with jam and cream and wee assorted cakes (chocolate size) and tea/coffee. lovely and quite "Olde Worlde". Very nice staff, attentive but not intrusive. I returned with my sister and daughter for lunch, Sara needs gluten free, Linda must avoid all carbs. Neither are accustomed to having more than two options on a menu whereas almost everything could be adapted. Two very happy lunch guests (I am "normal" ?) and I have been more than impressed. I'll certainly be back.

Was quiet but food was excellent. Great service too.

We love our lunches in the Golden Lion but our last visit wasnt as tasty as it usually is. We always have the fish and chips as fish is always lovely and white and batter is nice and crunchy. Batter was soft and fish didnt seem as white either. New chef or different fish supplier or maybe lay longer than usual to be served. We will be back to try it again. Hopefully a glitch. Was ok but not as good as it usually is.
