The Golden Lion in Chorley

Not been in for a while so as the pub has been closed for a while but heard it was open again. So decided to pop in. Lacking atmosphere and not much in the way of welcome. Very quiet. No food but beer was good.

We popped in on Sunday afternoon and so glad we did. The place was really busy, bit still had a very welcoming, cosy and friendly atmosphere. We had chicken goujons and prawn cocktail to start and then steak and chips and cheese pie and chips. It was all presented and cooked perfectly the chips are gorgeous and it is clear that everything is freshly made and prepared ehich makes a big difference. The hosts are fantastic and very accommodating. Definitely recommended

Called in here Friday afternoon, been before before it closed for a while, must be under new management. Warm and friendly and welcoming, Food superb and served with a smile! Enjoyed and will be back, all good

Visited for lunch. Made very welcome, lovely lady. Nothing was too much trouble. Nice choice of food. I had the scampi and chips. My daughter had the cajun burger. The food was delicious,Hot and fresh. the chips the best I have eaten. We will be visiting again. New owners. A*

Burnt greasy chips, even the fish batter tasted burnt but the fish inside was good just not what we expected from the recommendation we got. I was shown pictures of a huge portion from a friend but I guess the cost of living has taken its toll. It was ok just not living up to my expectations
