Golden Lion, Aldershotback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Popped in before a game at Aldershot Town so only a brief visit. Just London Pride on in terms of real ale but it was kept well enough. Fairly small pub with large screens in the bar and a pool room out the back. Came across as a reasonably friendly little locals pub.

Hi anniemh,
Don't remember the team myself as I was only 10 at the time! But is the Ian you're referring to Ian Jopling, son of the landlord, Joe? If so, Joe still runs the place and Ian is there a fair bit.

I agree with hengist about the barmaid babe, who's still there! This is a very 'working class' pub: come in your overalls, smoke anywhere, eat sandwiches or cheap pub grub all with chips (but only until 2 Mon-Fri), watch Sky Sports. Not a place to go if you want something classy, or a wide selection of real ales. Despite the Courage sign, I could only see London Pride.

Excellent pub - good booze and the food is superb and very well priced. Shows all the football, including Prem Plus.

Went into this pub for the first time yesterday 13/08/2005 between 12:15 to about 5:30. I have always had a dislike of Aldershot as I am a Farnborough man!
I did however like this pub, good landlord, friendly staff and a babe of a barmaid with long black hair.
Good atmosphere and good food as well.
I liked this pub and will go again sometime.

The Golden is a popular watering hole and is also great for food the food is really reasonable and you get plenty of it for your money ,the landlord is an avid footy fan infact he used to play for Aldershot and Leicester ,so youll find every match shown on the 2 big screens as it has premiership plus
