Hmmmmmm interesting the last couple of reviews. No previous postings yet such gushing comments.
Now I love Weymouth having spent many happy pub crawling days here, but please if your going to review pubs at least have the courage (no pun) to do it honestly.

Visited the Golden Lion twice this week after its re-opening under new management. Great beer, great food - steak and mussels (fresh) good prices. The three bar staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. I understand that this pub use to be full of riff raff - no longer. I will be making the Golden Lion a regular eating and watering stop.

when we went into the golden lion we ordered 5 korma's. when they eventually turned up after 40 mins the chicken was pale . in one of the dishes we found hair!. the little bit of sauce we did have was cold along with the rice and chicken. we sent it back many times but it kept coming back the same.
the women on the table by the side of us ordered a jacket potato and once the jacket potato arrived, half of it was black and badly bruised.
when we asked to see the manager the manager was aparently out. when we asked to see the superviser she was aparently not around. we finally got a refund after we put up a bit of a fight. but the young waitor would not give us a refund for our drinks even though the food was disgracefull.
when we left we had got a refund for our drinks and food.
THIS IS THE WORST PUB WE HAVE EVER BEEN IN.
|
First time in for a couple of years, decent pint and a glam rock artist for entertainment.
|
What a dive! Just been in - no ale on at all and scabby barmaid didn't even acknowledge us, just kept chatting to her bloke (the ONLY other person our side of the bar). Walked out in disgust and, with such a wealth of good pubs in Weymouth, we certainly won't be back to this hole.

Found this pub when looking for somewhere to watch the Leeds v. Doncaster play off final. For a sports pub with lots of large screen TVs it actually has a good choice of real ale rather than the usual ranks of lager pumps.
|
Typical big chain pub. The excellent choice of ales is more than cancelled out by the noise of the many televisions.
|
This may be a fake plastic pub but the ale brewed locally by the Dorset Brewing Company is anything but fake. Great stuff
|
fake plastic pub. what a shame.

Excellent pub, I consider to be the best in Weymouth Town centre. Food is excellent and very good value with any two meals for £6.99. Staff are very friendly, beer is always top quality, Perfect venue for watching Sport with 3 flat screen tv's. 10/10
|
Good ale, fairly cheap food in comfortable surroundings, Giant screens spread round the place for the sport
|
This is a really friendly venue, thte staff are nice, good entertainment on the weekends, tasty food and happy people

Can you tell me, did this pub used to be a hotel? In the 70's I remember visiting Weymouth, the owner was a lady who I believe became the Mayoress of Weymouth and had a son called Neil - does anyone know them?
