Tracy is the best landlady in the area and her team are second to none

**just not serving food** Just moved to the location and seen that a green king was near by. We could try there for food. Went in to be seen by the bar maid who was less than helpful. Asked if they were serving food. To be told no! I asked oh ok is that for today or for how long? The reply I got was, “we are just not serving food. Ok thanks good bye.

Not the place to go for a quiet drink but at least the drinks are OK. Car park is terrible, you are better parking on the road. Seeing as there is nowhere else within easy walking distance, it will still be busy.

Not very clean, glasses always dirty and tables always sticky. The Manager is not welcoming and can be extremely rude and very unprofessional. The Manager is usually sitting at the bar drinking - gets a kick out of talking about employees, employees that have left and customers. (Making up stuff that isn’t true and not being very nice at all) The manager bars people on the simple fact that she doesn’t like them anymore. They don’t serve food but do it for parties, if you saw the kitchen it came out of you definitely wouldn’t risk eating it. Also they don’t clean the ice machine, so if you are thinking about going there be very careful what you order.

Great welcome - when we got to the bar the said they had an open jukebox... write your song on the sheet of paper and it will be played in order. Really got us involved with other people in the pub and created a sense of community. Great idea to start conversations as we all discussed our music loves and then why we love the songs so much.

Amazing local pub. Tracey, the landlady, couldn't be more welcoming. All the staff are amazing. Good selection of drinks and bar snacks. Open fire in the winter, sports shown and always some decent music on in the background if there isn't any sport. Regularly have live music or a decent dj. Real ale on tap that is well looked after. Top notch 👌

The Golden Lion did an amazing job of catering for my Mother's wake. They catered for 40 people at a very good price. There was a huge variety of different fare to cater for all tastes including a veggie choice. Everyone commented that the sandwiches were the best ever. They included a large cheese platter with biscuits, cakes etc. and tea and coffee. I cannot thank Kirt and the team enough for their service and care throughout, which made a difficult day bearable. Thank you so much. Mark & Anne.

Dreadful... food came out wrong and cold... asked for garlic bread and cheese only got garlic bread, asked if I could get cheese... they literally took the dish grated cheese and grilled in the exact same position so the bits on top had melted cheese, the rest had nothing... chips felt like they had been taken off someone else's plate stone cold soggy! Ordered 2 beers got 3... not a massive issue until you have to pay for the beer thats been sat in the sun for 15mins. Overall good for a quiet pint bad for anything else

Below average Food, Paid £3.50 for large chips, standard sized portion arrived, it isn't a large compared to normal chip shop. Curry sauce was a large and was standard fare but the burger and sausage and bacon roll were disgusting, buns filled with fat, cheapest sausage used ( I wouldn't call ut a sausage as you'd struggle to find any meat), bacon was standard catering stuff. The burger was just wrong, no care taken, biggest piece of lettuce stem, soggy from fat, grizzle within the meat. There are plenty of better takeaways, go there not here.... Overpriced for portion size and quality Overall they are barely better than charcoal grill, chicmex and are nowhere near Olivers.

Service was bad, they hardly payed any attention to us while we were there, had to wait 25 minutes after arriving and multiple attempts to get their attention just to order drinks, which then took another 10 minutes to arrive while we watched our same server take another tables order and drinks over before we saw ours. No only that but they allowed a known peodofile move around without a mask and switch tables whenever they pleased. Definitely not going back anytime soon given how they treat non-regular customers, they obviously don't care about trying to recoup their losses over the pandemic so I'm not going to help them.

Atmosphere: - Little bit of a vibe with the general patrons. Staff: - Only really have bartenders, can be slow when they're a bit busy. Food & Beverages: - Bland food without flavour. With some seasoning the food could be a lot better. The beverage selection is usual for a pub. Value for Money: - Portion size is good, but the food itself being disappointing. All in all not bad. Notes: - None.

Io e 15 amici siamo rimasti senza cena la sera di capodanno, nonostante avessimo prenotato inizio dicembre e tre giorni prima della data della prenotazione per confermare il numero di persone. Il “proprietario” grandissimo maleducato e cafone, ha insinuato che la nostra prenotazione fosse falsa, nonostante il fatto che gli avessimo fatto vedere le chiamate. Ci ha dato dei bugiardi, falsi non ammettendo il proprio sbaglio e addirittura urlandoci contro, per non parlare dell’atteggiamento PESSIMO che ha avuto nei confronti della ragazza che ha prenotato, un atteggiamento così nessuno dovrebbe avercelo con i clienti. Personale inqualificabile, proprietario pessimo. Spero non sia successo a nessun altro. Peccato che non si possono dare 0 stelle… Grazie per averci rovinato la cena di capodanno Non ci tornerò mai in quel posto. Non è un ristorante serio ma soprattutto con personale serio
