Golden Lion in Torbay

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

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.

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

Lovely cosy pub, very good value. Generous portions and you are encouraged to take the leftovers home so they are not wasted.

Best Sunday lunch in brixham Brilliant service and fabulous food Good wine too - a nice New Zealand Pinot Noir for <£25 Thankyou

We went as part of the new theatre deal. Very impressed. Lovely atmosphere snd nice food. Will definitely go back possibly try Sunday lunch.

Everything was fabulous. Could not fault one thing. Steak was so tasty. Garlic mushrooms starter were the nicest we had

Great food, great value and friendly service. Would definitely recommend and I’ll certainly be going back to try more of the menu options!

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.

We had the best time. The service was brilliant, the staff were accommodating and were able to change our seating plan without too much trouble. Excellent service which I would highly recommend.

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.

Great for a casual lunch. Nice food and great hosts. We always have an amazing experience. Would always recommend The Golden Lion.

The best Sunday lunch in Brixham, large servings and nicely cooked. Great service and good selection of drinks. No room for deserts which looked amazing, next time !

This is the best place to go for a drink with food. Excellent food, atmosphere and service, and being local it is perfect. Thank you Jax and Alex.

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

Another very successful visit to Golden Lion for Sunday lunch during our holiday in Brixham. As always the food is excellent and you cannot fault the size of the portions. Definitely worth a visit and you will not be disappointed. Already booked again to visit next Sunday.

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.

We visited for Sunday lunch and the food was fabulous. I had the beef and my husband chose the pork. Would definitely go again.

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. .

The wife and I went there today for Sunday lunch well the food was amazing great choice of meats, all veg freshly cooked, roast pots beautiful we would highly Recommend, staff very good and welcoming we will return, adviced to book plus dog friendly

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.

I had a great Sunday lunch that's definitely worthy of a review . The service was good and the food was lovely. Its really good value I thought. Thank you.

First class. Amazing food, fabulous service and fantastic value. Have eaten here on many occasions, and as a picky eater, I am spoilt for choice. Huge portions of perfectly cooked food. Jay and Alex have it nailed. Don’t miss this perfect gem in Brixham. A brilliant menu with something for everyone. Huge portions. You will never leave hungry!

A lovely meal in very comfortable surroundings. We had the festive menu which couldn’t be faulted. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed once again the excellent Sunday lunch. Jay’s Sunday lunches are just like your mum’s book book book or you will be disappointed. Highly recommend in a lovely traditional family run pub. Good selection of beers as well. Thank you 💙🧡🩵💛💜💚

I cannot fault the food as it is amazing and good value. We have had a meal there now Three times with friends and family. Alex and Jay have created a welcoming and friendly. I would highly recommend and well worth a visit
