It was a lovely experience! The waiter Max was a delight, the gluten free option was absolutely delicious and exactly the thing we were looking for. The portion sizes left us full to bursting. The one thing I will say is the lack of dusting that was apparent. But all in all a lovely meal and a great time out.

Called in for an evening meal during our long weekend in Leyburn. Nice selection of beers and reasonably priced house wine. We both had a Golden Lion Burger, with smoked bacon and melted cheese. These were delicious

Lovely pub and friendly staff We went for Sunday lunch initially I thought 16.95 was a bit steep. But it was Beautiful! The beef was gorgeous and 3 huge slices 😍. For the price I think we should have got a plate of vegetables each not between us. But it was very tasty! And get shot of Mange tout as its a lazy veg. 😴 The pub further along did 2 lunches for 20 pounds . But ours was beautiful and we would definitely return and the drinks are reasonable too x

We stopped for Sunday lunch on the way to a holiday and accepted that they might not be able to fit us in or we would have to sit outside, as they were clearly busy and short-staffed. But we did not expect to be ignored totally by the bar staff for several minutes. A quick nod and 'Hi we are busy but will get to you as soon as we can' would have been nice and not taken much time. When we were finally acknowledged, we didn't have to wait too long for the food, which was well cooked and really good.

Dreadful service. Sat for 30 mins before order taken. Food ok when it arrived 45 mins later. Ordered 1 sweet and it took 45 mins despite no other people in the restaurant. Really poor service. And they look at you like it’s your fault.

Great experience while in Leyburn our B and B had recommended the Golden Lion for a nice meal and this proved to be a great choice. The lamb was beautiful and it fell off the bone the accompanying thick cup chips were fresh and soft. My husband enjoyed gammon with all the accomplishments. The pub was busy with a nice ambience and I would highly recommend and would go out of my way to eat here again.

My wife and I stayed at this hotel in leyburn market place.We were going on the gin train on the Saturday so arrived at this hotel on the Friday evening.We checked in and the bar and lounge area was extremely busy with diners.The meals looked very nice but we had eaten earlier so just went into leyburn to have a drink. The room was very large and it had a comfortable bed,hot powerful shower and was very clean and tidy.Tea and coffee facilities were in the room and a large tv on the wall.There is free parking in the market place opposite and chargeable parking to the rear of this hotel in a public carpark. The breakfast was served between 8 - 9 am and was very nice with cereals,yoghurt,fruit and the full breakfast was really well cooked with lovely produce.There was plenty of toast,tea and coffee available from a really friendly owner. Would thoroughly recommend a stay at this hotel - its a pity we never tried the lunch/evening meals. Great hotel break in a nice location.

My partner and I spent two nights at this pub this week for the first time and were well looked after. Our room was at the front overlooking the town square and was really big with a two seater settee, a chair and rocking chair. The room was very quiet and we slept well. Food was excellent, a good choice in the evening and breakfast was served in a light airy room at the rear. Everything was well presented at your table with everything you need, cereals, muesli, blueberries, strawberries, yoghurt, toast and an excellent full English. Next time we are in the area we will definitely return. The choice of evening meals was very good. The mussels in coconut sauce is worth trying.

Honestly there is nothing negative about this place, from arriving in leyburn on Sunday 'the crazy 6' had Sunday lunch (booked after seeing reviews) and we went again Monday night, (booking adviseable). This was outstanding service from all on front of house, but the food was completely restaurant srandard. Definitely recommend. Thank you for looking after us all, especially, after fitting us in when you were very busy.

Market day in Leyburn and we stopped at the Golden Lion, outside seating on a beautifully warm Market Day. We decided to have Lunch here and opted for 1) Ploughmans and 2) Ham and eggs both standard pub fare on menus and I always like to try as many ploughmans as possible - one of my favourite choices.Ploughmans was very good - 3 good pieces of cheese ( local wensleydale ) pickles and fresh roll, enjoyable and tasty, oneof the nicer ploughmans, next time I will be looking at the Butchers choice - that sounded good too. Hame and Eggs was enjoyed by partner - said great chips and a lovely fresh runny pair of eggs with a good slice of ham. Great sitting out in the Sun and lovely young girl waited on who was lovely, efficient and pleasant . lanlord seemd obliging and friendly - so when in Leyburn next have a look at the menu and give it a try. Most enjoyable.

Mash creamy and tasty with a selection of vegetables served on side dish.For us the serving size was ample allowing room for a pudding, sticky toffee for me and pear tartlet for the boss. Both delicious with ice cream Plenty of parking around the pub.Nice welcome from the staff and special mention for the young ladies serving who do great job.

I chose the Warm Salmon Salad, the other two had Steak and Ale Pie with chips, all delicious. The only complaint was the second pints of beer (the first had been very good but the second didn't clear and had to be sent back, which led to some confusion when it came to paying).

If you count them - there isn't enough - chips that is. I had the steak pie with veg and handcut chips . I had just SIX chips. The pie was in a little dish with a pastry lid ( I was expecting a lovely rustic slab of pie ) and the veg was in a little dish ( this was very nice ) and I had just SIX chips on the side of the plate . I was absolutely disappointed and dismayed. I had to ask for more, and was given more chips after about 20 minutes , but this was totally unacceptable to me. Come on, chips aren't dear. PUT MORE ON !!! The other people in my party had more chips on their plates, but only about 9 - 10. WE played count the chips instead of enjoying the food. They also need to get rid of those horrendous blackboards. Will I go again ? probably, have had a good Sunday lunch there in the past.

Don't go here if your face or accent doesn't fit. The regulars and staff actively make fun of strangers in the nastiest way possible. We paid £60+ for a round of drinks and a meal. The food took an hour to arrive and was still poorly cooked. We complained about the behaviour of their other customers and how unwelcome it made us feel and she just walked away without saying anything. We ended up leaving most of the food and leaving.

We sat outside & had coffee and pastries. Street was a bit to bussy to relax but then it was a convenient location a straight walk from the herritage railway. The coffee was good.

We ordered a meal but was not told it would take a long while to be prepared we waited 45mins the we told the bar man that we will have to leave it because we had a coach to catch just as the lady came out with it hope somebody enjoyed our meal wouldn't go there again so if you have a coach to catch don't go there for your lunch or if you like to wait for 45 mins for your lunch (it was only yorkshire pudding and sausage)

Took the grandchildren for a Sunday roast lunch and the service and food just couldn't be faulted. I had the roast beef and my wife and daughter had the turkey. The children had one beef and one turkey. The child portions were huge as were ours and the quality was excellent. I was slightly apprehensive after seeing one report on here but in all honesty I really don't know what they were expecting. (Maybe they are regulars at the Ritz or were looking for a Michelin star establishment). A big well done from us and we will definitely be back.

We stopped off here for a bite to eat after spending the morning walking and getting very wet

Called in just before lunch service closed, but they were more than happy to serve us. Had very good chicken and stuffing sandwiches and good beer. Always worth a visit.

No puedo comentar sobre la comida sólo tenía bebidas pero que quieran comer aquí? La primera impresión es que el lugar no ha sido renovado por años! Alfombras antiguas sillas con agujeros sucios y profundi dad. En el bar era una gruesa capa de polvo. Era por la tarde y donde nos sentamos allí donde pilas de migas de la diners gungo.

Había 18 de nosotros comimos aquí después de un día caminando. El personal no podría haber sido más amable o servicial y la comida era servida rápidamente y caliente para todo el mundo.

Disfrutamos de tres comidas en el pub en el Golden Lion durante la estancia en Leyburn. Encontramos un pub cómoda y atractiva. El servicio era excelente y la comida era servida en generosas raciones y estaba delicioso. Había mucha variedad en el menú como se podía pedir comida de "pub" o desde el menú de comedor.

Comimos allí dos veces durante un fin de semana de fiesta, uno en la zona del bar y en el restaurante en la parte trasera, que era un poco moderno para nuestro gusto. Todas las comidas que muy buena, así como las bebidas. El servicio era muy bueno en la noche más tranquila jueves, pero cuando visitamos el sábado con amigos (comiendo en el restaurante que no estaba lleno), no lucha para obtener servicio y terminó volviendo a la barra para conseguir más copas después de la comida. Volvería de nuevo para comida y bebidas.

Un salto aquí unas pocas bebidas. Podría haber más opciones para cervezas aquí. Sólo obtuvimos el semer agua que está por todas partes y el coto. No probamos la comida, pero el menú parecía bueno

Popped into the Town Hall for a drink and received fantastic service from walking in to walking out. Very good NZ Sav Blanc at a great price per bottle and excellent food, a varied veggie selection too, which is unusual for most of the other pubs in the town. would highly recommend !!

The Bay Tree Cafe and Bistrolocation-iconMain StreetBritish

Was really pleased we chose the baytree kitchens. My husband had the seafood chowder I had the ploughman's both off the specials menu. My husbands chowder was full of seafood and fish with fresh bread it was only £10. He didn't want it to end. My ploughman's was really good quality ham and cheese with fresh bread that was only £9. The drinks are really reasonable as well If we lived nearer we would be regulars here All the food tha was coming out you could tell it was freshly prepared.
