The Golden Lion in Wellingborough

I had an open buffet for my father's wake. The selection was excellent the staff were friendly. Comments received from family and friends attending the wake were excellent. I've visited The Golden Lion on previous occasions and never had cause to complain. Highly recommend.

Live music on Fridays so only reason I go out in Wellingborough!

Very good pub excellent staff and friendly people

Only went there to pick up someone. The atmosphere there was brilliant

Great pub to eat at before visiting the theatre, which is a 2 minute flat walk away. It was Steak Night (Thursday) so we all chose the steak (although there were several other options) The food was lovely and fresh, with a friendly service

Welcome return of a good old Town Centre pub. Great food, including excellent Sunday Roast and daily specials, a few good cask ales, great company.

Great landlord fantastic bar staff especially the young girl from Friday night the 8th of September.

Made an impromptu trip here whilst visiting friends. Cheeseburger was absolutely amazing, great pint of Guinness & service with a smile, all at a decent price.

Very good value for money. We popped in here for a family meal whilst passing through Wellingborough. They were in the middle of changing the menu but we are very accommodating.

We are attending an event, here in their snug it is the perfect place to hold any events, the landlord Phil is on hand if you need him. This is a quaint 500 year old pub, I would highly recommend their pepper steak pies. Thank you for making us feel welcome, we will definitely be back.

We had a lovely meal here today, 4 of us enjoyed:- 2 x Scampi, Lasagna & Sausage & Mash. The service was great, very welcoming, and the Chef came to ask if we enjoyed our meal, which was a nice touch. We would definitely recommend, and will return for sure Thank you Regards Betty

Steve Gill Steak cooked to perfection

Came in for family birthday today roast beef was lovely! Met the new chef - looking forward to the changes he’s going to implement. He plans to bring in a new menu and cook everything fresh. Really hope it works out, will defo come again .

Had a fantastic night. Went for the live act, Faith Eliza, and she was amazing. Such a beautiful voice! Lovely staff, great atmosphere and will definitely be going back. Thanks for a banging time!!

Good to see this iconic building back as it should be. A proper pub, selling proper drinks at proper prices

Fantastic to see it reopen good selection of beers welcoming staff a place to watch the world go by

Great job to the team at the Golden Loin what a transformation the new owers have done great atmosphere and staff are very welcoming.....not had food yet but Sunday dinner is booked for tomorrow 😋

Good food and lovely pub. New landlord, wish him every success. Hope they have groups again like the old days.

Went in for a quick beer, friendly service, did not have any food

Great to see this place opened as a decent pub again! Phipps on tap here which is always a good choice for me. Haven't eaten here so can't review the food.

So glad this pub has finally re-opened. Decent beer and friendly folk.

After being closed as a pub for some considerable time this magnificent listed building is back open as traditional a pub restaurant . New owners fresh views and great food . pop in and see what you think

Absolutely brilliant service food was banging staff are lovely and friendly

The goat curry is amazing and also the fish ! Portions are very generous and it really is good fresh food , it is like restaurant food at home but larger portions . Very pleased thank you

Goat Curry had more bones than meat. Flavour was good, but needed more sauce on the Rice and Peas as it was dry underneath the thin layer of sauce. Guess I got a tough deal, but wouldn't try again.

Such a shame they have closed this lovely put down. Loved sitting outside for drinks and staff were so chatty and friendly and such a lovely building.

Por desgracia cerrado un tiempo. Es un fantástico edificio histórico en el centro de la ciudad y afectuosamente recordado por muchos wellingborough con su galería de los ministreles y golpeado cobre mesas en el salón. Espero que reabrirá bajo la nueva administración, ya que es una pena ver vacía. Tenían algunos músicos buenos allí.

Reservamos aquí un encuentro con un grupo bastante grande de amigos antes de Navidad. Como un pub histórico, conocido como tener algunas buenas noches con música en directo, a pesar de la muy pequeña. El menú estaba bien, una mezcla de comida casera tradicional pub. principalmente La comida era buena. La cerveza menos. Nos sentamos en el lado izquierdo del comedor del pub, que no es habitual para nosotros. En general era frío en el pub y muy corrientes. El acceso a los aseos es a través de una puerta, junto al comedor y al lado del bar. Esto conduce a un pasadizo y la piedra fría los aseos. Estas parecía limpia, como es habitual, el problema era la persistente, francamente "pissy olor" que se desprenden de este pasaje y la zona de comedor. Este es un muy antiguo pub y así pueden tener restricciones en el drenaje y antigua. Podría haber tenido la puerta de ayudó el bar cerrado con una puerta de primavera suave para cerrar cada vez que alguien lo usa.

Came here as was working through lunch and decided to sample something off the menu and I have to say it was one of the best burgers I've ever had!!

the Golden Lion is the type of pub tourists can only dream about. It's old, but delightfully furnished with atmosphere and good ale. the food is excellent and it's a good place to meet for small gatherings or large ones.

Despite being a beautiful building this pub has now priced itself out of the market on both beer (£4+ a pint) and the expensive food which really isn't as fresh or nice as it was a year ago (microwaved roast potatoes on a Sunday and stale flavourless bread at lunch time)

As usual there seems to be a group of us ending up for a burger here :). Never lets us down - unless we are late and kitchen is closed. Lovely food

Excellent pub. Food, Beer, and service second to none. Highly recommended

Nice place, good quiz on a Thursday.

Fuimos a este restaurante por primera vez en unos pocos años y nos decepcionó un poco esta vez. Todos tuvimos 2 / 3 cursos y de las 6 de nosotros, la mitad de nosotros encontramos la comida normal. El personal no era demasiado agradable, un poco deprimente, y no eran conscientes de las ofertas especiales, tuve que ir y la hora, y tuvimos que volver ya que había pedido algo en el menú que no tienen disponibles. La mitad de nosotros tenía las tartas que era realmente bueno y un montón de carne. La otra mitad tenía cena del domingo dijeron que estaba bien.

Fuimos a cenar con amigos. La ración de marisco era magnífico. Hamburguesa genial. Casero vió dick. Todos genial. El servicio era bueno. Me encantó la comida. Buena selección de cervezas. Tenía una banda en directo. Volveremos.

Small bar area. A bit higgledy piggily but ok

As usual we end up at the Golden Lion after meetings. Nice Chilli Con Carne - missed the kidney beans though! Had a trio sorbet which was absolutely outstanding

Grandes esperanzas, pero no la mejor comida que he probado por un largo camino. . Pastel de carne. sin carne y horrible verduras. . Llevé a mi hija. En 7:00 1 1 alrededor de la calle lo que me dijeron los niños tienen que salir por 6. . No dejes que los niños. Si desea asegurarse de que he ido en 5 horas!

Have visited here for Sunday lunch about 3 times in the last few months and has become one of our favourites.It's always really quiet but that doesn't bother us as we have 2 young kids so it works ok for us.The food is really good. Everything is perfectly cooked & very enjoyable. Only thing to make it a 10/10 would be to get a few extra roasts !Staff are pleasant & welcoming and we feel it's very reasonably priced. The portions are big with a lovely mix of vegetable & cauliflower cheese. Yummy.

Amazing food and the staff and service are second to none. Highly recommend a visit here

Nice staff but very limited options on menu

This is a pub that I have wanted to visit for some time, looks great form the outside and this week I've started working close by so it seemed the ideal place to go.Really not disappointed, friendly staff, nice short menu and relaxed surroundings. Definitely going back.

Organised a meal for 6 of us to celebrate my partner's birthday on 28th December. The golden lion was our first choice and didn't disappoint. We ordered a range of starters and main courses and they were all delicious. When we were paying, I mentioned to the barman that I'd completely forgotten about a cake. Within a few minutes, the chef had placed a brownie on a plate and written happy birthday in chocolate sauce and the barman brought it to the table with candles lit.Thank you for a lovely night, with great food and service.

3 of us had Christmas dinner on December 19th. 3 courses plus sorbet and coffee. All food excellent.

a group of us went here on december 15 2016 for a christmas meal.the place has a lovely atmosphere,superb staff who cant do enough for you and the 3 course meal was wonderful.also we did a quiz which was a great laugh which we won...i recommend you go here its amazing.

4 of us chose the set Christmas dinner, well it was disappointing!Starters were the best part of it. The Christmas dinner had one tiny tiny slice of Turkey, some overcooked shredded gammon, hard not cooked enough roast potatoes, veg was good as was gravy and pig in blanket!Desert, plum pudding was far too small, not enough cream, cheese n biscuits were the best!Coffee was hardly warmShame as we had heard of such good reviews!Lot of money for not a lot of food!

Another visit to The Golden Lion and delighted to find Wilf still there again. We had a lovely welcome, the beer was in superb condition and the fish and chips for the ladies even better than last time.Our disabled friend had Cod Cheek Scampi and said it was really good, I mixed a couple of starters (no problem said Wilf) calamari and whitebait which I followed with Cajun Chicken. All in all the food was very good indeed and the service splendid.We will be back but sadly not until next spring, thanks Wilf.

Looks really inviting from the outside and the staff and food were bith good. But inside it's pretty odd. Obviously a place to watch rugby

Nice little pub, good food and at a reasonable price

Had Sunday dinner here with my husband and kids food was out of this world and said was the atmosphere staff were amazing and could do enough will defo be back

Called in when passing through Wellingborough with my family and a friend. The food was out of this world. Amazing value for money and the staff were amazing nothing was too much trouble. I ordered the pie and I am always a little skeptical about ordering pie incase it's been microwaved however this was obviously cooked fresh. I will definitely return when next in town.

Visited this evening with 11 other colleagues after a H&S Review, so you can see my need for good food and drink, I was not disappointed, food was excellent, service very friendly and drink very palatable, waitress Julie was very professional and hard working and with a nice warm smile let me know if 09, 10, 83, or 116 wins the big card, and I'll be back for my winnings and another ribeye steak x

Called here at 2.10pm today. Having a terrible day. Asked what they could serve quickly as we had to be out by 230. Chef did two bowls of really good chips a great double fishfinger sandwich in excellent bread with smoky coleslaw and salad.served promptly. We made our appointment. We will be back

Such a shame as we use to love it in here....unfortunately, the current management is less the personable, food hit & miss and its lost the very thing that made it the best country style pub in Wellingborough....the 'feel' is simply no longer as friendly or accommodating as it once was. Huge shame but they seem to still be busy....not the worst place in town but unfortunately, no longer one of the best.

Stopped for a quick lunch and found a fusion yummy meal The outside is yellow and looks like an old pub and the food is hot and yummy Staff was good parking not so great as the road is very busy

Nice pub, but a little bit strange. At 8 p.m. the kitchen was closed.

Visited on the occasion of my birthday, unfortunately the lamb on offer proved of very poor quality with a high content of gristle and fat, was uneatable and sent back by one of my party-they sever another dish but this also was not acceptable as the portion had been reduced to little more than a mouthful very disappointing for my friend. I also had a problem with the Steak and Ale pie, which look fantastic but unfortunately was very difficult to cut up as the pastry was rather rock like. I had to break in and eat the meet which was tasty but leave the pastry. All in all we will never eat at The Golden Lion again and will certainly suggest our friends avoid The Golden Lion. Very disappointing evening as the attitude of the staff was also not very helpful.

Myself and my family often enjoy an evening here and would definitely recommend it. The food is lovely and is served in a beautiful restaurant which has some gorgeous traditional features. They often have live music playing on a Friday evening and this is always a really high standard and very enjoyable.Staff are always really friendly. Highly recommended.

I went for lunch with my young grandchild and I could not have been more impressed. The Manager greeted me and my granddaughter and made us both feel very welcome indeed. Having a pushchair and trying to carry drinks outside he couldn't help me enough. I will certainly be visiting again. All credit to the manager and his staff.

Used to be our local but even though we now live miles away we still try to support it by going two or three times a year. Lovely pub with excellent food and good beer. There aren't many decent pubs in Welly but this is always great, especially the food - so try it out to keep good places like this going.

We come back year after year and are never disappointed usually a group of 30plus and they never struggle the service and the standards are excellent well done Golden Lion

Fab roast beef, didn't have room for a dessert. Vegetables are served in separate dishes which is nice. Homemade Yorkshire puddings ! Excellent service. My only criticism would be that I would have liked the roasted parsnips softer.

Lovely staff and really lovely food! We had 2X roast beef. Delicious! Loved how the vegetables came out separate, also the cauliflower cheese. The meat was tender and there was more than enough gravy! Will return!

Sunday lunch here with my family of 4 was a real treat. The food (and beer) was delicious and the service was great - what more could you ask for? We came at about 1pm without booking and were shown to our seats. The Sunday lunch menu was short and we thought we'd go for the 2-course, mains and pudding, option. Our waiter was pleasant, efficient and knowledgable and the roast dinners he bought us were first-class. A little more expensive than we are used to paying but well worth it. with the roast beef and horseradish sauce being particularly special. We were all full after the one course so had to leave the puddings for another time - but there will be another time because this must be the best restaurant in Wellingborough town centre!

Have heard positive reports on this pubs food for some time so thought it only prudent to try it out.I wasn't disappointed, my wife and I had the 3 course Sunday dinner which was approx £17.. There was a choice of approx 4 dishes on each course, I had the calamari, roast beef and cheese cake and the wide had prawns, roast lamb and sticky toffee pudding.Food was well presented and tasted lovely... The bars staff were friendly, welcoming and efficient.... Well done chef !!!

Went for the first time tonight for dinner food was excellent 5 stars great service as well made to feel very welcome from lady behind bar who also took our food and drinks order my wife had poached pears for pudding and said they were lovely the chef is very very good will be going back in future to this great pub/resturant

I went earlier today with a (middle-aged male) friend who was told he had to remove his hat - true, it is written on a sign on the wall (see photo) - but why? It was 6pm on a quiet Wednesday, the place was almost empty - they just lost a couple of customers - and we still are not sure who could be offended by a hat...

Nice place, friendly staff, good ale selection but the meal wasn't up to much. A group of us pre ordered our meal, days in advance. We waited 45 min for it to come! My meal was tough & dry. I made them aware of this but I was refused any % off. Please improve as it is a lovely building..

Went for a late Sunday lunch, food was very good. Food service was finishing at six and we were just in time.Roast lamb was very nice, as was the presentation of the food.£12 quid for one course was reasonable value.There was a good choice available even so close to the kitchen closing times so a definite thumbs up !Will revisit

The Golden Lion is a beautiful old building with plenty of atmosphere. Although we usually only visit to enjoy a few drinks, the live bands or watch the rugby we really must change our ways and eat here more often. On Father's Day we enjoyed a really delicious roast beef dinner, in fact it was the best we'd tasted since the last time we dined here. As always, the staff were attentive and friendly. Top marks to Matthew and his team.

I was really looking forward to sampling the kinds of food eaten during the medieval period and was pleasantly surprised with the choice of delicious foods that both the rich and poor ate. The staff were friendly and attentive, the manager was knowledgeable about the kinds of food consummed during this time period and if he was unsure of a fact was willing to go and check it and come back with the answer. The food was cooked really well and was very tasty. I have lived in Wellingborough for 15 years and never ventured into this pub. However after sampling this food I am now determined to come back and sample their regular menu.

Went with Wellingborough U3A for lunch today. We had pre booked our orders before we went. A first time for us to this pub cum gastro pub. It's a lovely old building with lots of atmosphere. The food was good and mainly home cooked I think. We seemed to have a mixture of main menu and lunch menu. Main menu items were huge. Hubby and I had the Haddock and chips, one between two would have been enough. It was fresh haddock though with a light batter very nice. A huge amount of chips and mushy peas. Didn't like the mushy peas. Prefer proper mushy peas not the Cheffy things made out of frozen peas and mushed and flavoured. Couldn't put my finger on the flavouring, could have been garlic, not sure, didn't go though. We thought the price was high for what it was, £12.95. Would have preferred a smaller portion and a lesser price. There was so much waste. Hate waste. Many others had the chicken, also huge but very nice. The halloumi kebab was good too, also overpriced for what it was. Puddings looked amazing, sticky toffee pudding with ice cream. Yum. Again order one between two as its expensive and far too much for one person.This is on the whole one of the better pub food venues but would be better if they didn't rely so much on quantity rather than quality.

Popped in for a quick drink before heading off home. The manager ( Matthew) came and sat outside for a couple of minutes to have a chat with us, what a charming chap , Jo was the barmaid, both made us all feel very welcome , when we saw the food Matthew had prepared, we decided this is where we'll be eating next time we're out for dinner . I'll be writing another review when we've been ☺

Good food very old english inn with minstersl gallery.very clean friendly bar staff.good beer.and good draught beers.been used since about 1200 ad cannot say better than that

we tend to go there for a quiet drink expecially in the summer when the sun is out and you can siting outside .lovely service ,nice food I do recommend this place .

Always a warm welcome. The service is always excellent. A lovely, friendly atmosphere. A good selection of real ales. Great food.

We frequent this establishment regularly. We are always made to feel welcome. They show plenty of rugby and serve all the drinks we love. Live music every Friday and Saturday. Food is awesome, with plenty of choice. More so a twenty five year old plus pub but that suits us perfectly.

Came for a friends birthday and it was a lovely experience. The staff were very nice and professional and the food was well presented and tasted great. I look forward to coming back again

Great food, very friendly staff (can't do enough for you). Very pleasant atmosphere and excellent food. What more do you need in a local pub. Well def go again.

What a gem of a place!! I visit the place weekly as my partner feels so comfortable there. The staff are friendly and helpful with great local knowledge. The place is spotless and the food is delicious!! The staff will go out of their way to cater for most needs and wants and it's not often you can say that of a place these days! Management is professional, friendly and keen to make a success of the place which shows with new menus and new staff who all strive to achieve the goal! Be it for a drink, lunch or dinner...Defo worth a visit!

The Golden Lion in Wellingborough has great character, an excellent selection of beers and can cater for parties in it's fabulous vaulted restraunt ! And the foods not bad either ! Well worth a visit

This once good pub has nosedived since Christmas. The friendly young bar staff have all left and been replaced by grumpy staff that don't appear to want to be there . I stood at the bar recently and had to wait 5 minutes before I was served, out of turn , by some grumpy old man who was more interested in filling the fridges than serving his customers . I have been visiting this pub for several years and never known it to be this bad. It was a breath of fresh air when Terry took over, good quality local ales he consulted the customers about, great food and friendly service. He even organised a brewery tour, he cared and always made you feel welcome. If you want customers to return please bring him or someone like him back.

on the 23-04-2016 we, nick & Karen needle, had our wedding day reception at the golden lion. IT WAS AWESOME !! wilf the chef and manager did us proud, it was faultless. all his sfaff went out of their way to make us feel at home, the service was second to none and the food was perfection itself. hats of to wilf and his staff. during the week before wilf was in touch with us to make sure things were ok our end to reassure us the his was too. all our guest hada fabulous day all done to wilf and his staff. thank you so much wilf keep up the good work mate.

This pub is a great place to eat with the resturant being a place to look at many items from history while you eat,have eaten here many times and the food has always ranged from great to ok,due to many changes in the staff and managers.Food is upmarket pub grub,but with many home made local pies which are nice.This is a place to go for a special evening with family or friends

Really didn't enjoy any of the food and felt the staff were snotty! King prawns made my partner feel a bit ill, the burger was tasted like it was from a van. I am sure I'll get some snotty reply but my opinions are my opinions. Worse than all this...it's so expensive for what you get. Regards, Paul

Love this place the food is great, displayed like art. Great taste made from good produce, grew ambiance ! There was a live act whilst we ate who was very tasteful and talented. The food is very reasonably priced and you actually forget you are in Wellingborough. The waitress who was rushed off her feet was so nice and friendly and nothing was to much trouble for her. She's a credit to the establishment. We used to come in here when we were courting and the place still has it all!

Just returned from a lovely sunday lunch, food was tasty, well presented and piping hot, kids loved it, very friendly staff. Thoroough;ly recommend it.

We booked a table here prior to a show at the Castle Theatre. We expressed our timings at time of booking. Upon arrival we were greater with a smile and "ah you're off to see a comedian after dinner, we won't keep you waiting". (Can't ask for more than that can you?!) :-)I had the steak and ale pie which was delicious!! My mouth is watering just thinking about it now!! My wife had some vegi option as she refuses to eat proper food! ;-)The service was swift (in line with our request) and very efficient but also very friendly. The food was fantastic and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended!!

9 of us booked this place which came highly recommended. Upon arrival we were quickly served at the bar and then shown to our table. The dinning room is stunning with high vaulted ceiling and in the style of a hunting lodge. The food was excellent, and the portions were huge. The service was superb and over all there is little this place could do better. I will certainly go back when I'm next in Wellingborough.

Been here multiple times over the years and always enjoy the food, on the last two occasions I've noticed the quality has slipped since the two ladies that ran it before left. The pâté is now smooth and bland and tastes like Supermarket page and not Bistro quality pate. The cheeseboard has also been reduced and cheapened with what seemed to be lower quality cheeses. To be fair the steaks are still superb and other mains on the night looked good.I hope this restaurant isn't going to go down the cheapening process that happens at most restaurants round here. People will pay for good money for good food, that's how the golden lion got its reputation to start with.The fact that it's no longer No 1 or 2 on trip advisor in wellingborough, as it has been for simply ages, is a sure sign that changes are a foot and they're not for the better!!!

Honestly the waitress was arrogant and rude to us , we did not feel welcomed and served properly. Don't go there please, not worth it to spend money

We have visited this pub several times before but not for a year or so. We were greeted warmly and despite not having booked were able to eat in the dining room. We chose from a very varied menu, we both opted for the soup of the day which was homemade apple and parsnip served with homemade bread, both of which were delicious ! My husband then had the calves liver with bacon and I went for the steak and ale pie, both were served with mashed potatoes and fresh veg medley. Sadly we were both too full to have a pudding though they all looked very tempting. The staff were very attentive and friendly we will certainly be returning soon.

held my niece and nephews joint 21st birthday party here food and service was.excellent atmosphere great.a proper pub some live entertainment not too loud and some very amusing locals. Overall a great experience one of a good old fashioned pub values and top quality food .

We arrived dead on 7.30, our appointed time yesterday (Saturday night).We stood in the bar area after I notified the bar we were here. The young lady came up with menus and then rushed off again leaving us still stood in the doorway.Moments later she returned and asked what was the age of our lad. I told her 16, she said he could not eat here as he was under 18. I immediately told her he had eaten here before, approx 3 times. She went off again and came back stating they could not allow him in.Of course we were not happy so we left. As we walked out my partner went back in to ask for head office details as this was mad, the restaurant is away from the bar in a room of it's own. I could understand if the eating area was in the main bar but it's not and in a room of its own.My partner stated that this was mad to the lady who appeared to be manager as well as managing the kitchen. She told him that we had been told before about bringing in our lad. I walked back in as he appeared to be sometime, he advised me we had apparently been told about our lad before. When the lady manager returned I tackled her on this, I advised her we had been in numerous times and at no time had anything been mentioned. I told her further if something had been said before then indeed we would not have brought him back in. She agreed and apologised, I suggested someone was making this up. She apologised and said they must have got their wires crossed.We left of course.I know there are rules, I also hold an on licence but find this particular company rule crazy. For goodness sake you can get married at 16. This is just mad and bad for business.We live 5 minutes walk from the pub and used it regularly to eat in addition to brining our lad and used it regularly in the summer to sit outside with a drink.But you know this ridiculous and crazy rule has put us off and I doubt we will return. I cannot understand this, 12,13,14 I can loosely understand but a 16 yo, come on this is mad!

This pub serves very nice food in a relaxed environment at a realistic cost. The bar is also respectable however we visited on a Friday night for food & I must admit some of the bar clientele left a bit to be desired in character terms. As result we left but otherwise would have stopped to have a post dinner drink in that area.

Going on the reviews I had read on Trip Adviser we sought out this pub. It has a nice atmosphere so we both ordered burgers which were lovely and really substantial. My only complaint is that they were served on wooden boards with skewers through them which makes them very difficult to eat. Call me old fashioned but I like my food on a plate

Visit regularly as close to where I work. Pop in for the odd lunch and meal after work with colleagues.Pub is a great little pub with regular band nights, open mic nights and theme nights for food. Good drink and wine selection - only issue is the card limit! But can now open a tab if you provide your card which gets picked awy and you have the key.In terms of food, lunches are good. Big doorstop sandwiches and baguettes with a variety of fillings. Come with crios and salsd and always a generous portion. Sometimes get Chios to share but always regret it as can never eat it all!!Evening meals are good pub grub. Menu is sometimes quite basic but quality is good and usually something for everyone. Often have set menus and not badly priced. Can be a bit pricey for what it is but not actually expensive. Probably one of the best pubs in Wellingborough, especially for food as not one of the '2 for 10' type places - actually cook food from fresh!!

Mid January , we took mother out for Sunday dinner , she was staying with us for a few days ,and we thought we'd have a Sunday treat, and my goodness ,what a treat it was. I love roast lamb, my husband loves roast beef, and mother loves roast pork, they had all three on the menu, lovely amount of meat, Yorkshire pudding, gravy separate in a cute little sauce pan , then there were roast potatoes, boiled potatoes, roast parsnips, carrots, peas, broccoli and last but by no means least, cauliflower cheese . now I love a pudding , but I was so full ,I couldn't manage one, not even one to share with the hubster. the staff were very helpful and attentive, we were seated next to a lovely warm wood burner which mother in law loved, we all had a hot drink to finish off with , two pots of tea and a frothy coffee, they came with a little jug of smarties, it finished the meal off perfectly.I can honestly say its one of the best Sunday roasts I have eaten, and would highly recommend it , we all enjoyed it and thought the price was very reasonable, we will definitely be going there again.

Visited for lunch Sat 9 Jan. Booked a table the day before just to be sure of a table as in the past they've been fully booked.We were greeted on arrival. Attended to by friendly, laid back yet professional staff. Good selection of cask ales, red wines etc.The menu has the right amount of variety and won't keep you all day wondering what to have.I opted for a homemade beef & rioja pie with mash and veg. The pie was ample in size, the veg fresh and tasty. The only downside was that the mash was a processed product, but still good. All in all a pleasant lunch.
