The Golden Lion Rossett in Wrexham

Wonderful Public House with a real feel for Olde Worlde charm. The service was brisk, polite and friendly, we had light hearted repartee with several members of Staff. Yes there were young ladies as staff, but everyone has to learn somewhere and some less patient people would do to learn tolerance - after all they were novices once. The food was excellent, we have the Beef Sunday Roast. In fact I was amazed at the condiments [I asked for Colman's English Mustard] which were superb. My partner said that the Malbec [Argentinian] was the best she has ever had in a public house. I ordered beer from the bar, all drinks arrived promptly. All in all an excellent Sunday outing. As our family live in the village [we are from the South Coast] we will definitely be eating & drinking there again. Just a special note: read the negative reviews and we wholeheartedly agree with the Manager. The patrons showed disgusting, rude and offensive behaviour to say the very least, more akin to Weatherspoons on a Friday night in Solihill. We boht enjoyed the sarcastic but factual responses by the Manager. A General protecting his troops. We appreciate your venue, we appreciate your staff and we definitely appreciate your attitude to "awkward customers"

We went into the Golden Lion for a sunday platter , came in late and staff managed to squeeze us in! There were plenty of people coming in and out proving how well liked it is! Food was exceptional as well as the service. Will definitely be coming back in on a sunday and in the week! Great staff, food and atmosphere, what else could you ask for! Definitely recommend coming to the Golden Lion!

Slow, unattentive service and didn’t represent good value for money. Sorry to say wouldn’t return unfortunately

Loved the pub everyone friendly food was the best would of gone sooner if known how nice it was busy on a Monday with means it's good would go again if ever in the area

I booked here after seeing a picture of the roast dinner sharing platter on someone’s instagram story, and had my heart set on it. I was not disappointed, nor was my partner! The amount of food you get on it especially the meat is well worth the price! (Which in my opinion is actually worth more than what you charge!) and every single thing was delicious! Only niggle was tiny bit of mash but that’s because i LOVE mash but if im honest i definitely did not need any more food! 😂. It was a busy little cosy pub! The service was spot on very friendly and attentive staff. I have been recommend this place to EVERYONE. We will be back we have decided its going to be at least a monthly visit! Thank you 😊

I may be biased as it is my local but have to say lunch today was exceptional. Food and service excellent, and such good value. So fortunate to have this place in the village. I had the fish cake, meat and potato pie and jam coconut sponge with custard, straight forward delicious pub grub done perfectly.

My wife and I went there for evening meal it was amazing the best meal we have had out for ages, we both had Sunday dinner the service was great the setting is great. highly recommended

Great food and wine, staff very friendly polite and welcoming, lovely homely atmosphere with the real fire, would definitely recommend and will be visiting again

First time visiting and I was very impressed with the service, food and atmosphere of the pub. It's got a lovely ambience, like a home from home feel. All the staff we spoke with were all very welcoming, polite, and friendly. The food was delicious (I had the skin on chicken dish - I would highly recommend this 😋) me and my friends will certainly visit again. Thank you for a wonderful evening! 10/10

I had a lovely evening catching up with my two sisters in this lovely pub. The food was delicious. The staff were lovely and efficient. We will definitely return.

Had a salad but half the ingredients were missing. Very expensive bowl of lettuce. Unfortunately I didn't realise until I got home and checked online that I was missing most of the ingredients listed on the menu. Very disappointing

Very slow service - slow to take order - food arrived relatively quickly - but then waited over 20 minutes and our empty plates still not removed - my husband wanted a pudding but no one came - so we got up left the dirty table and paid on the way out.

I don’t know if people visit another pub or if I just pick poorly. I visited here last year and the food and service was poor however I decided to try again this week and give them the benefit of the doubt that I just had a bad day when I visited last time as I see lots of other people giving good reviews. I had the belly pork and my partner had the steak pie. My belly pork was ok, quite small for the price but for some odd reason the mash tasted like fish, not sure if it had been prepped the same time as the fish pie but it was very odd. My partners steak pie was awful. It was like a stew with a pastry lid. It was watery and the the beef was so tough he couldn’t even chew it. We’d only popped in for a quick meal on a sunny day so I couldn’t be bothered complaining about the food. Both of us ate the food and then left. As this was the second time I won’t be back again. Big shame

Lovely looking pub with very pretty gardens. Friendly and attentive staff. We had chicken salad which was nice, but the roast dinners looked amazing 🤩

Came in with my family on Wednesday 6th. We were Instantly greeted and shown to a table. Restaurant looked great. The service was fantastic even the manger came over to make sure everything was ok she was really lovely and friendly. Food was amazing had no issues. Can't wait to return.

Very shocked at the high reviews… We had been recommended The Golden Lion by a friend, but we had a very disappointing Sunday Roast. We opted for the Roast Dinner Platter for two people which was £38.95 (not cheap, and a similar price to what...

This pub seems to have got everything right. We had a table booked for 6.15 pm and even at that time the pub was busy. We got shown to our table promptly. Given menus and told the items which were not available. The server returned...

Another fantastic visit to this gem of a local establishment! After being let down by another restaurant, Allan and his staff sat seven of us at late notice (on an extremely busy Sunday!) for a family Sunday Lunch and couldn't have been more professional and...

Having been here on many occasions,but unfortunately not for nearly a year due to work Decided to take a friend having bigged this place up. Not sure if it’s been taken over,but it’s definitely gone down can’t believe all the good recent reviews because this...

Lovely atmosphere, busy, but still great standard of service from the friendly staff. Food was delicious, had the chicken supreme, rib eye steak & couple of kids meals. Would definitely recommend! Thanks for an enjoyable visit!

Really pretty village and a classic classy looking, busy pub with good food and outside space for the kids. Just enough parking. We went for Sunday dinner so prime time I would guess. Food was very tasty and well presented. Beef and veg lovely (Yorkshire...

Visited Golden Lion to meet friend for lunch. Warmly welcomed as I entered. Promptly served with a drink. Lovely day sat outside on their patio. Lovely space. Ordered our food, friendly , attentive and professional staff. Excellent meals. Fair price. Highly recommend.

Stayed in the area for two nights for a family funeral. Dined there on both nights and found the food and service outstanding. The pub is an absolute gem one of the best pubs we have ever been in everyone was very friendly and made...

Truly amazing venue and meal. Booked it for today for my mums birthday. The staff were lovely and the food . was outstanding. We had a meal in the tepee ⛺️ so unique and would highly recommend if for a special occasion. Thank you so...

Easy to find even if we did ride past it. Limited parking Nice looking venue, loved the tepees with fire pit Friendly, polite, smiling staff........probably over worked and under appreciated Food was pig swill 12 hour beef (menu description) should be beautiful, fall apart morsels...

Visited this hostelry a few times before and had very good food. However I was very disappointed today. Fish pie was very dry and fish hard to find, vegetables barely cooked. I'm afraid the food description belied the real thing. Very over priced for what...

My 1st visit for awhile, but was very shocked to see the bar full of empty glasses, it was also very messy and wet from spilt beer it took ages to get my drinks ordered, even though there were quite a few staff behind the...

A random drive out for lunch led us to the Golden Lion in Rossett and we were really impressed. We hadn't booked a table but the staff quickly accommodated us at a nice table in the restaurant. Menu choices were really good and we went...

We originally booked an indoor table, but the weather was so lovely that we decided to eat outside. The food was great and the outdoor area was busy, but there was plenty of space for all to spread out comfortably.

Suzanne looked after us extremely well from the time we arrived until we left. Unfortunately on arrival the table we had booked wasn’t ready for us however Suzanne took us to another quieter room which we preferred anyway. Food was excellent, we enjoyed starters /...

Ambiance and service were both very good however the most important element of a meal out has to be the food and it failed to impress. Adults all went for the roast platter and with the exception of the half chicken there was nothing nicely...

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Golden Lion. It was really busy when we visited and the car park was full, luckily there was parking on the road opposite. Would definitely recommend eating here, food is lovely and well presented. Staff are friendly and nothing...

The pub itself is nice and has a traditional pub feel about it with a busy bar and separate dining area and outdoor bar with tent in the garden. We made our booking for food and drinks after checking that the pub was wheelchair accessible,...

Food was amazing today, fast service, piping hot. I had the lamb duo and can honestly say it was the nicest lamb I’ve ever had. Lovely service from the staff too. Highly recommend

The whole visit was just great. The atmosphere, food and service. Nothing was to much trouble. Will be visiting again soon.

Great food, perfect service from friendly staff and the best cosmopolitan cocktails I’ve ever had. We will be back.

Phoned last minute for a table and accommodating as usual. Excellent table service as the bar was very busy. Had the steak and chicken supreme and both were faultless. Eaton mess was a little disappointing but overall it’s still very good and will return.

Had a very lovely meal, Nae was our waitress, fantastic service and food. Would definitely re visit

This little gem of a pub great for chilled drinks and Sunday lunch fantastic service great food The roast beef Sunday lunch was e everything a Sunday lunch should be at a very reasonable price the Staff are super friendly. Fab garden with plenty of...

I visited the Golden Lion with a group of friends last night and we had the best night. Food was great, the place is lovely with outside or inside dining: We were greeted as soon as we arrived and offered drinks and the whole experience...

Our first visit to this pub restaurant. The staff were friendly and atmosphere pleasant but the food at lunchtime today was very disappointing and overpriced. We both ordered the fish pie at £16.95 each. It came in an individual dish with green beans and tender...

Wonderful lunch, staff were lovely, even letting my mum borrow some glasses as she was struggling to see the menu ! Pub was also home to two adorable dogs, was well worth the visit just to see them! Would definitely recommend for lunch, some of...

Fantastic place, great food, really good service and friendly staff. The outside area however, is outstanding, a huge area for kids to run around and play, including a swing set and a mini football pitch! Highly recommend!

Needed somewhere to meet friends centrally (us from Colwyn Bay, them from Ormskirk travelling down to Pembs) and so googled somewhere in Rossett…couldn’t have found anywhere better! Gorgeous setting, the tipi is excellent 😊 and the food second to one. Mein host (sorry didn’t get...

We had a below par Sunday lunch, our first visit to the Lion. The veg was undercooked and hard, beef overcooked and bland. Belly pork undercooked no crackling, just rubbery rind. Service slow, teenagers not listening, I asked for horseradish sauce but never got it....

We visited on a Sunday and thought the Sunday menu was very extensive. The food was very nice and the staff and service excellent

Came to the pub with friends for drinks and lunch, the pub had a homely ambience and a warm welcoming atmosphere. The staff were excellent extremely attentive and were all very friendly and helpful. One member of staff Louis was very amusing always happy to...

Came upon the Golden Lion by chance after an arduous drive on Friday evening. Unfortunately we’d just missed dinner so settled for a much needed drink, crisps and nuts! We were blown away when Alan came over with the most beautiful platter of delicious treats!...

Food was amazing, service was outstanding .. really enjoyed my visit and will definitely be returning !!

very good service excellent food.staff friendly and nothing was too much trouble.will definitely visit again.

Four friends and I dined here for dinner on Tuesday. Our waitress was very friendly and the food was excellent. Have not been here for a while but will definitely be returning.

This place never disappoints! The food was great and the staff were lovely. The pub was busy yet the food didn’t take long and the staff were polite and helpful. Good service really makes a difference!

A truly excellent three course meal was enjoyed by my wife & I, in a pleasant atmosphere. Everything was cooked perfectly and a good selection of wines & beers are available.

Always a great place and quality Food, Drink and Service. We are very lucky to have such an excellent venue in the next village to where we live.

We had a lovely meal here. Booked for my dads birthday for a group of 18 of us - a mix of children and adults. We pre ordered and some of us had fussy requests for example one was “no jalepinos and as un-spicy as...

Family Sunday meal one of the tastiest Sunday roasts we’ve ever had thoroughly enjoyed it and service was excellent highly recommended

Had we known there was a large group in wouldn’t have booked it. It was so noisy in the room we were in it spoilt a nice evening. Couldn’t wait to get food and leave. When it did arrive the steak was a bit chewy...

Lovely meal for a friends birthday. Staff all friendly and welcoming. Food was great. No complaints from any of us. I particularly loved the cheese and chive sauce with the cheese,onion and potato pie.

The Golden Lion serves the best sunday lunch always top standard never fails staff are brilliant nothing is too much trouble for them. Well Done!!!

Second time in here & we were impressed on each visit. We have a Hydes near us that has the same menu however this does not feel in any way like a chain pub. Food is A1, cleanliness is spot on & the staff are...

Everything beautiful food was really delicious all staff made you welcome beautiful place spotless definitely be booking again soon highly recommend

We had the platter share for 2 , the quality and quantity of the Meats , was unbelievable, we will definitely be coming back

Just like to say a huge “Thank you” to Allan, Lucy and the Team for their wonderful hospitality this weekend (15/04/23) They hosted the start and finish of a friends Hen Party. The buffet was gorgeous and nothing was too much trouble. This is just...

Food and service excellent. This village pub is a gem and I would highly recommend. I will definitely be back next time I’m visiting my mum

I’m lucky to live near to this beautiful pub/restaurant. The old building is amazing with a friendly home from home atmosphere. Food is all freshly cooked and reasonably priced. Their chocolate brownie is the best I’ve tasted and melts in your mouth. In addition there...

Never disappointed, always a pleasure for both service and food. Handy being walking distance from home!

Quite possibly the nicest roast we’ve had out. We had 2 of the roast dinner platters. The chicken was so succulent, gravy was delicious and it had everything I like on my Sunday dinner. So much food, everyone had seconds (there were 5 of us...

Lovely evening at Golden lion. Got the table we asked for. Service was great. Food great. Even brought over a bottle of bubbly for birthday celebration.

I would highly recommend the Golden Lion Rossett for eating out. It is easy to book on line or by phone, it is also easy to change booking if necessary. All the staff are friendly and of course the food is excellent and plentiful and...

Very easy to book online, though it's best to do it early as the place was very popular at the time we booked. The staff were very friendly, and helpful, and we had a nice quiet table. There was an excellent choice of both alcoholic...

The chips served had been prepared for some time and were inedible. The Passion fruit and Mango Eton mess was missing the mango and half a passion fruit was a mere spoonful

A splendid buffet was prepared for 25 guests mostly family following a family funeral, would highly recommend the Golden Lion to anyone for any occasion

Very good value for money. We all had the 3 course lunch. Excellent. No complaints. Staff very friendly and attentive. Highly recommended.

Our family of three visited for Mother’s Day and it was the best Sunday dinner we’ve ever had! Absolutely delicious and such good value for money.

Visited for Mother’s Day, lovely food, great wine and amazing service, really enjoyed the evening thank you

Great family meal. Good spot on. Steak perfect, burger perfect. Service friendly and good too! Wine flowed.

Really lovely lunchtime birthday meal on 8th March. Made especially welcome by all members of staff who attended us and had high quality food and drinks. Would definitely recommend to anyone and will be visiting again.

We went here for a meal on a Friday evening for a family of four adults & the place was absolutely buzzing. The car park was practically full with the odd space & this was at 6.30 pm. The food choices & presentation were excellent,...

We visited for a Sunday lunch on 26 Feb 23.. The service was prompt and friendly. The food was plentiful and delicious. Highly recommended!

We visit here regularly and I can honestly say we are never disappointed. Food and drink excellent. The landlord and his team will go the extra mile to make your visit comfortable.

We love visiting the Golden Lion, it never fails to deliver. The menu really does offer something for everyone and the staff always go the extra mile.

Excellent, in every way, I live locally and I use The Golden Lion regularly, and with the only downside I was a tough steak! Everything else was extremely good!

Busy on arrival which was good to see as the pandemic had hit hospitality in a bad way. Drinks order-wrong but soon rectified. Took an age to order and when the food arrived it was an hour from when we ordered. People who ordered after...

Great atmosphere in a nice and friendly pub. Good choice of food. Enjoyed my meal. Will choose the Golden Lion again.

Went there for my dad's birthday and enjoyed every minute. Food was excellent as were the drinks . Will definitely be going again .

If you want a damn hood sunday lunch this is the place for you. The rest of the menu is pretty damn good also.The Golden Lion never fails to tun our good quality and hot food. Well done all.

Food was excellent and service great. Lovely location and beautiful little pub/ restaurant. We will be back again for sure!

Met with 6 friends, had a very private table in the snug. Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and the food was very much enjoyed by all of us. We had a wonderful night out, thanks!

Excellent meal at the Lion this evening, delicious food and first class service. Great atmosphere as always, what a cracking village pub we have.

It is many years since I submitted a review of the Golden Lion. Then I raved about it and, indeed, I have eaten there many times since and have always had a good experience .... until Sunday lunch with some friends in the latter part...

I meet my friend here once a month. The staff are always friendly and the food is acceptable nothing too special but it’s ok for lunch.
