| Popped in several weeks ago, had a pleasant meal and a decent pint. Food was what you paid for and very honest. Staff were friendly, although a few more smiles wouldn't go a miss. Overall very good, clean and traditional. will return. Foodybloke foodybloke - 28 Sep 2010 15:00 |
| Wow! We really enjoyed this pub. Such a lovely setting to mark our special evening. The food is excellent. The staff are down to earth and so are the prices. Very glad we booked as it was busy even though we were quite early doors. Hanrew - 16 Aug 2010 14:15 |
| A really good pub. First visit since new people (who've been here a little while). Liked it before. Still good now. Well redecorated and furnished. A good cosy, comfy feel. The punters were a nice mix of types and ages. You know the sort of thing, slightly posh looking middle aged friends with meal and bottle of wine, slightly not so posh fellas having a chat at the bar and some (very nice) youngsters. That lovely mix of good old friendly boozer but nice enough to enjoy a meal in. Dogs welcome I think. Usual wadworths beers. Well kept. Food was good. Definitely home made. The landlord and his wife were both cheery with that good balance of checking how things are running while having a smile and a chat with whoever wants one. Staff all good and friendly. There was a group of acoustic (no loudspeakers) bluegrass musicians jamming in the corner. They were good and atmosphere was great. Didn't drown out conversation and it's a big enough pub if it's not your cup of tea. A monthly thing. Some people were obviously there to enjoy the music, for others it was just their local and some had come for a meal. Can't say fairer than that on a Tuesday night. odo_proudfoot - 12 Jun 2010 11:23 |
| Visited the golden lion for the first time yesterday. What can I say! Fantastic friendly pub serving really amazing roast lunch with all the trimmings! The portions are huge and I could only manage one of their yummy puddings. We'll be going again for sure. Just one thing... it was so busy we had to wait a little while for a table. Brid the landlady said its best to book a table in the future.‎ tallgrass - 17 May 2010 13:24 |
| In for a meal yesterday for the 1st time in a couple of years........ still very good value and excellent food! Shame the landlord is off to Salcombe in Devon, - hope the new people will keep The Lion as lovely as it is now. p.s. Agree with bornandbred - just love the new sign!!! anonymous - 3 Aug 2008 18:44 |
