The Golden Lion in Lewisham

A family friend from Australia worked 2 shifts with this pub and has been shafted for his pay. He was fobbed off by the owner several times. I have been in twice and left my number as staff behind the bar say that don't have the owners telephone number. A total disgrace.

Went to the Lion for Sunday lunch, food was delicious, the young guy who waited our table was friendly and helpful. It was a little quite, but that may have been due to the heavy rain on the day. The pub is a decent size and has screens, so I imagine it will get busy while the football is on. We noticed there is a garden area at the back of the pub, unfortunately we didn't get out there because of the weather.

Really gone down hill since the change in mgt. It's my local and I (solo female) often popped up to watch sport, have some food or just a drink. However on my most recent visit to watch football, the place was full of aggressive men. Not a female in sight. My medium glass of wine was a small (I could see it being poured) as there wasnt enough in the bottle, but I was still charged £7 as no house available. After many years I doubt I'll be returning.

Jordan was brilliant with the Thursday quiz, when you see him next but him a drink and a nice meal x

Despite displaying a disabled badge on my vehicle, I was unjustly issued a parking ticket amounting to £100. To make matters worse, the situation escalated to the point where they attempted to take me to court, leaving me with no choice but to pay £170. This experience has left a sour taste in my mouth, and I strongly urge others to be aware when going to this place. It is disheartening to see such unfair treatment, especially when individuals rely on disabled badges for accessibility. I will never come here again

This is my local pub so come here quiet often, morgan one of the bartenders is always there to brighten up everyone’s day with a smile and a pint

Very welcoming staff and a good range of beers make this cosy pub a winner. Football on screen for those who like it. Lovely spacious garden. What’s not to like?

The place improved massively since my last visit! Lovely food, tasty house wine (fairly priced), pool table, definitely worth visiting by locals

Stopped here for some food and sat in the beer garden to choose meal . Tables were not clean and no hand sanitizer on table or in way out to garden . The chef was in the garden having a cigarette and stroking a cat ( no gloves on ) then he went into kitchen got some food and fed the cat by the open kitchen door and said to cat “that’s enough Iv fed you enough all day” Got up walked out without anyone asking why I was not ordering.

I have been there previously and had an amazing experience. Last night I ordered a glass of house wine and a pint,and my bill come up to £14! £8.6 for a glass of house wine!I was shocked that prices went up so badly! And wine tasted very watery and never did before! Shame! Good luck for you guys.

I parked in the 'free' customer car park, only to find a week later a £100 fine. I raised this issues with the owners who really didn't want to get involved. I would have thought that more could have been done to explain the process and when paying customers return highlighting the oversight that they look to rectify the problem. I won't be going back!

Brilliant portions, lovely Sunday lunch, nice pub with lots of space. Areas to watch sport but not imposing, kind and friendly staff. Would definately go back. (Also really interesting history) We turned up late without a booking and there was no fuss, we just sat down and ate, exactly what we needed. Thank you!

I hadn't been here for many years, but am always on the lookout for somewhere to go to lunch with my parents that is dog-friendly, has parking (as my Mum can't walk far) and serves good food. The Golden Lion ticks all these boxes. The decor may look a little in need of an update in the pub side (not the coffee shop side), but don't let that put you off. This has quickly become my parents favourite lunchtime spot.

After a horrible flight from the US, we were looking for something easy, light, and delicious. We found it all at the Golden Lion! Pulled in by the great appearance outside, we were in heaven as we walked through the door. The staff is helpful, and super friendly! The food is perfect- we had BLT sandwiches and an incredible smashed egg and avocado on fresh, crusty bread. The hit of the day was the hot chocolate, as our kid declared it “FIVE Stars!”. We are staying locally and will definitely be back!

Nice friendly pub with great and attentive staff. Food was good and the pub had a nice atmosphere. Relaxed way to spend a Sunday afternoon

Sam, Sammy and Tony - wonderful food, wonderful service and wonderful afternoon. Give this place a try!

Went for Sunday lunch with family who were visiting, had a great 3 course Sunday lunch. Attentive friendly staff, great food and would absolutely recommend.

Just had Sunday Lunch in the Golden Lion. Very very nice, service good. All spot on washed down with couple of pints of good bitter. Ray Owen. Recommended

Very nicely done - beef nicely rare - banging broccoli and cauliflower Beautifully presented Exceptional welcome Under new management Music brilliant Staff sing beautifully! Can’t put a photo of the lunch - ate it before I could!!! I think an excellent start!!! Well done See you again - soon

Went to Golden Lion for first time last night. What a gem of a place. Uber lovely staff, great menu and fresh clean toliets!! Trulo Sound were playing there - what an awesome band. Old school soul and reggae. And boy they knew how to...

Second time here for roast dinner lovely food great surroundings friendly staff and very reasonable prices would definitely recommend for a great relaxed comfy full up belly with friends and family Was very full up and very pleased excellent quality XX i100% be back again

Nice premises and staff - even good parking nearby. Just a shame the event advertised on the website for last Friday (3rd Aug) wasn't on. It was my friend's choice to celebrate her birthday and we'd driven from the other side of Bromley especially. To...

Went here for a father's day meal. Passed it & saw it also does Vegan so all 3 of us were covered. The food was excellent, staff were brilliant & the chef catered for everything we required & also went out of their way to...

We had been to this pub before found the staff pleasant the food previously had been good portions were satisfying This experience did not end the same way granted the The two ladies attending to us were very pleasant and engaging the menu presented to...

This was our first visit to the golden lion and it certainly won't be out last. They have a car park and fantastic sunny beer garden to the rear. We popped in for a quick lunch and was not disappointed. Fish goujons and chips in...

We had fish finger and tartar sauce baguettes which were not only elegantly presented but tasted wonderful. The staff are well trained and efficient

Undoubtedly the worst food I have ever tasted In my 52 years! It was inedible! Just horrendous! I had the roasted salmon wrapped in Parma ham, with a strange orange sauce and some sauté potatoes. The salmon was not fresh, did not taste anything like...

We stopped here after a long day at Hampton Court (Yes, you CAN walk from Kingston Station. That doesn't mean you should.) We weren't famished, having already eaten, but stopped in because the facade caught my eye with its arabesques in the windows. We stayed...

There was a slight air of disorganisation about The Golden Lion. The staff are really nice but seem over-stretched and you wonder how they’d cope with more customers. First we struggled to understand what food was available. On a Tuesday, the Sunday lunch menus were...

We started to use this Pub for sunday roast and were veery happy with the first meal although it is rather expensive for a Pub Roast. Since that first visit we have visited five times and each tome there has been an issue, generally the...

It has been done up pretty nicely, but every time I have been in there it has been very cold - even with the three open fireplaces. The wine selection is reasonable - and not badly priced. Beers are more expensive but there is a...

This used to be pretty grimy but has been done up quite well. It's now a decent place to watch football and the food's good too.

Lovely place - recently refurbished- light and airy. Child friendly but the menu isn't your everyday child menu. Adult menu needs to be of a wider range - nice but not a good range of choice.

Must say, been to the lion a few times on Saturday nights. They have had some excellent cover bands playing live music. Food, had dinner here's couple of times alway very good. Staff always friendly and quick to serve. Lagers, slightly on the expensive side,...

We had an excellent cooked breakfast here last Saturday. Really well-cooked, delicious and not greasy. They were happy for us to pick and choose from the set breakfast ingredients and it worked out cheaper than going to a local cafe.

Looks nice from the entrance but that's about as good as it gets. SERVICE : 0 out of 10. One member of staff seemed to be running the whole place , waited for a drink whilst he was running around the front of the bar...

Popped in for a Sunday Roast as we just live around the corner. Sign at the front said the roast was £13. Now when a roast is priced at £13, I'm expecting something a little special. What we got was a soggy Yorkshire, chewy beef,...
