Fantastic little pub. Friendly and welcoming staff. Excellent choice of home cooked food and large portions too. The prices were very competitive too Have visited now evenings and Sunday lunchtime and cannot fault anything at all

Had a great roast dinner. Four adults, one baby and 2 dogs all enjoyed the experience. Very generous portions and friendly service :)

A visit to Brixham would not be the same without the usual excellent Sunday lunch at the Golden Lion. The lunch cannot be faulted in anyway.

Everything was great apart from the fact that there was only one waitress on and she was run off her feet because it was quite busy. This led to a bit of a wait at times. Food was great.

Last Sunday, we went to the Golden Lion at 3pm for a Sunday lunch, it was absolutely delicious and really good value for money. Portions were very generous, so much so I couldn’t manage a pudding which is a shame because they had a good range on offer. Dog friendly too. Definitely recommend.

The large mixed grill was poor quality. The cooked ham was taken from sliced mixed ham pieces from a economic pack, usually used for sandwiches. The lamb chop was 4mm thick and a with a large section that was just fat. The chicken piece had unmentioned BBQ sauce on it

Had a great Sunday lunch, big portions, everything tasted amazing, great value for money. Pub very busy and I think they were short staffed but managed very well under the circumstances. Sticky toffee pudding also great! Don't hesitate in trying this place out, you'll need to book though.

Came here on a Sunday for a roast dinner and it was absolutely perfect, moist, juicy meat, crispy and fluffy potatoes and delicious gravy. We were not the best customers, we arrived late and then knocked over a drink, but the barman was so nice and understanding. .

Just had another visit to this little gem of a pub. Slightly out of town but worth the little walk to get there (don’t take the car there is nowhere to park). Sunday lunch is a must !!! A choice of meats and always cooked well, with the veg cooked very nicely too. Not the mush you get in other pubs around the town. Warm welcome from the staff and the price is amazing for what you get. Don’t expect to get anything else done in the afternoon other than sofa and a movie. You’ll be too stuffed to do much else. Book in advance only as it can get busy. Don’t think they do “walk in’s”. Enjoy.

Old school pub that was very reasonably priced with large portions. Honestly, my daughter put a huge dent in her spaghetti bolognaise and they offered to package it up to go home and there was still a good adult portion left! Tbh, I’d have given it 5 stars but there was a smell to the place (imagine cooking and old pub carpets) that took a little getting used to.

We’ve been in for Sunday lunch twice now and weren’t disappointed on either visit. The Golden Lion is now under new ownership and it was lovely to see the pub packed on both occasions (clearly the new owners are doing the right things!). We had roast dinners on each visit and the food was great. The meals are well presented, well cooked and are good value. The pub and staff are very welcoming and there was a really nice atmosphere to the place. Definitely recommended for a visit.

We nearly missed you. What ravishing reviews! As is often the case had been meaning to visit this fab little café but it's taken a message on Facebook to learn you're moving on. Excellent toasties today, generous fillings and delicious. Great coffee. Clearly supported by locals and regulars. Doggy friendly and thankfully no plastic plants! That alone is worth a star.

You can see why the lovely locals flock to this cafe. There is a real sense of community here. Don't miss it if you're in Paignton! 🌻
