The Golden Lion Rossett in Wrexham

From the moment you walk in there is always a nice friendly welcome. We were a bit early for our booking but that was not a problem. Great menu choice and all our meals were delicious we especially like the small pudding and coffee choice.

The bar area was buzzing with chat and laughter, the restaurant area was less so and totally relaxed.the star of the night was the sea bream with mint, pea and prawn risotto .. absolutely fabulous. The South African Sauvignon Blanc was also good. Service was with smiles all round. We were very happy customers ☺️

We really enjoyed our two recent evening meals at the Golden Lion. We do not live locally, but had visited some years ago. The Tripadvisor Reviews, website, and attractive appearance of tthe pub drew us in. The food and drink choices are extensive, and the prices reasonable. It really is a lovely building: we would have been happy to eat in any of the rooms. The quality of our food was top-notch. Above all, however, was the warmth and quality of the service we received from the staff members, who, to a soul, were friendly, helpful and good-natured. We cannot recommend the Golden Lion too highly! Thanks for two lovely evenings.

Met for a family Sunday lunch after Son-in-Law completed the Chester Marathon. It was a special surprise for him and the Golden Lion couldn’t do enough to make it a really memorable event. It was a large party so we pre-ordered although daughter changed her mind 30 mins before - even this wasn’t an issue!! Staff were just brilliant, service on point and the food was perfect. Thanks Golden Lion!!!

We were staying in the area for the Chester marathon which my stepson was running in the next day. It was a last minute booking swayed by the fact that they were dog friendly. From start to finish the experience was spot-on. All the staff we encountered were extremely professional and welcoming and the food was excellent. We enjoyed it so much that we called in the following day after the marathon on our way home. Although we didn't have a booking, they found us a table in the bar. Again, the service and food was perfect. The only downside was that, not living in the area, it may be a while before we're able to visit again. Would definitely recommend a visit if you're in the area!

Fantastic service and excellent food! Staff we all absolutely lovely and extremely helpful. We'll definitely be back. We would highly it!!

We visited on Sunday with family. It was very busy but as we had pre booked we were seated straight away. Our server was very polite, friendly and efficient. I wish I’d got his name. 3 of us had roast dinner. There was p,entyof it and a good amount of meat. The ham was beautifully cooked, tender and tasty. I would definitely return and recommend.

Just another brilliant Golden Lion experience. We take clients there regularly, Sue is always helpful, always happy, a real star. Thanks again.

Visited for a Sunday lunch. Drinks were great , but the wait time was rather long and when the roast came out some of it we couldn’t even cut. The roasties seemed like they had been sitting out for a long time as were like rocks and the gravy was that watery you could hardly even see it on your plate. I think these 2 elements are the most important part of a roast besides the meat, so for them to be served the way they were was really disappointing. The desserts were lovely and very tasty, just a disappointing roast unfortunately.

I had the roast beef dinner which was delicious. All Staff were friendly, excellent service. Always a lovely pub/restaurant to visit. Thanks very much Allan and team.

Wouldn't recommend based on the food we had today. The starter of harissa beef skewers was dry & tough, no hint of harissa. I had seam bream fir my main, fish was ok but risotto its served with no more than bland. Very disappointing fir almost £20. The kids food on the whole was OK, other than the meat balls, not sure what meat it was but completely dry. I would of like to have told the staff but nobody actually asked if the good was OK. Won't be returning in a hurry.

Work party in the Tipi. It was a fabulous setting. Comfy, warm, lovely interior and space for the children to runaround. We had The Silver Buffet. Great food and enough to take some home. Very attentive staff. All round a lovely, special afternoon.

Bar staff James gave excellent service as usual been a few times now and always provides great service and very polite recommend visiting this fine establishment due to James professionalism.

This is going to be a similar review to my last when I had the lamb, previously I had the shank this time I had the roast lamb rump, but again I have to say portion was disappointing, however meal itself along with my dessert were first class and staff service as usual was excellent .

Just called in for lunch. Great welcome and atmosphere. Lucy looked after us as always. Can fault food or service. Will definitely come back

I tried the three cheese pie and it was delicious. Service from Caitlin was great, she is a very pleasant member of the team. There was a great atmosphere in the pub. Will definitely be returning.

This place is a must go ..especially whether when the sun is shining..the staff are amazing and so is the food...the only reason we came across it was on a friends story...since then we've been 4 or 5 times...we travel from Shrewsbury so not just down the road..we went for lunch today and we cannot wait to go back again ..a must is the Sunday platter ..thank me later

The Golden Lion is a beautiful local pub in the centre of Rossett. I recently visited with my family to celebrate my daughters birthday. The atmosphere is friendly and warm. We were greeted and sat at our table my a very helpful waitress called Sue. She really couldn’t do enough for us. She was very professional and was able to advise on wine choice to compliment our meals. She was attentive and very accommodating throughout our visit. The food was exceptional and I really can not give this pub enough credit. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We will be back very very soon.

Lovely meal had last week celebrating a recent house purchase. Food was excellent, would definitely recommend coming here, to family and friends. Our server Sue, was very friendly and polite, and made sure our food was okay. Very attentive, made our evening very enjoyable. Will be back again!

Enjoyable family lunch. Fab atmosphere, food great as always! Suzanne served us , she explained our menu options, was polite and friendly 😊

Had a lovely Sunday lunch, the baked ham was delicious. The platter was really tasty too. The staff are always friendly and helpful. We were looked after by Caitlin and she couldn’t do enough for us. Always a great atmosphere whenever we visit. Highly recommend.

Had a fabulous roast here for a family birthday. Huge platter full of all your faves including red cabbage! Staff are always very attentive and on the ball. Served by a lovely young man Alfie who catered to our every need. Will defo be back.

We had the 'Sunday Lunch Platter' for two ....we ended up taking a doggy bag home...it was amazing and SO tasty.. Sue served us and was SO attentive and interested. Great atmosphere as always.

Good atmosphere, friendly, helpful staff. Served by a nice young chap, Alfie, who went out of his way to deliver a perfect Campari for my wife. Been here before and the food is great, lunchtime specials are excellent value. A venue that never fails to please.

I love this place, it has a wonderful, family atmosphere, very much an outstanding village pub that is so well run. Great staff. We had a wonderful, tasty, filling lunch served by a lovely young man, Alfie, who was polite, courteous and helpful. Highly recommend this place

Fabulous Sunday dinner with family . The platter is amazing value for money . All the staff are lovely . Served by a lovely lad Alfie .

Visited on the 17/03/23 for a family meal. Booked in advance. Arrived on time and when approaching the dining area to be seated my fiance told her we had a pre booking for 2pm to which the hostess shrugged her shoulders and scowled and said...

When ever we visit the Golden Lion we are always welcomed with a smile. The staff and service is wonderful. A fantastic team!

We had a family meal last night. I have eaten here before but not for over a year. I ordered the smoked haddock and poached egg as I have ordered this here previously and it was delicious. I was so disappointed in last night's meal,...

Felt hungry so called here and what a find. Great welcoming staff. Reasonable pricing. Good service. My wife had to send her meal.back due to it being cold. The problem was dealt very well and her food returned piping hot. Both meals turned out to...

We hired the teepee out for an event and the manager and team couldn’t be anymore accommodating. We had a wonderful time, great food and attentive staff. Couldn’t recommend enough.

We pop here for at least one meal when we visit Chester for a few days and our latest trip didn't disappoint. In the mood for a roast dinner, we called on a Sunday and enjoyed hearty platefuls. And ended up too full for dessert....

Excellent service from Al an the team we took tge family for an early mothers day meal did not dissappoint mum felt special and food was delicious.

Nice pub, staff were lovely & very attentive. Food was ok typical pub food. Clean and tidy . Plenty of parking on there car park with easy access.

We visited for Sunday lunch . Lucy gave us some good recommendations. Both the Turkey and Beef were excellent. The vegetables were fresh and plentiful and a extra of Cauliflower cheese was enjoyed. The dessert recommended was Bailey's Torte very nice. Have to say best...

Came here for my husbands 40th birthday meal and I have to say I cannot find any faults. Brilliant staff and amazing food. Thank you so much for making our night one to remember

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere. Staff welcoming and friendly. Food was lovely with generous portions. Will he visiting again and would definitely recommend.

We went especially for the Sunday roast platter for two, which sounds wonderful on the menu. It certainly has the ‘wow factor’ when it is delivered to the table, so we were super excited. Unfortunately it didn’t live up to our expectations - the Yorkshire...

As a regular visitor we've got to know the staff, and they have always been very friendly, attentive and helpful and i wouldn't hesitate in recommending a visit to this lovely pub .

The food here is quite simply amazing. The food was worth every penny. Could not fault the food at all. What let this place down massively is the sub standard service. Finished our drinks before the mains arrived and the staff took an age to...

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 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.

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 😊

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 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...

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...

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 /...

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

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

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

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

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.

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...

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.

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.

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!

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...

Can't recommend this village pub enough. the food is outstanding the staff are really friendly and efficient. Atmosphere is lovely.

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.
