Great landlord and food Had a great meal one evening here. Met the landlord and he was very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely recommend this place for a nice escape

Wonderful Birthday Lunch Yesterday I had the grilled plaice and I can honestly say it was the best fish I have eaten for a long time.! The decor of the pub is very tasteful and everywhere is immaculately clean. Greg and Jane, the hosts are really welcoming and clearly know their business. Greg is very knowledgeable, both about the wines and the local history, and you can even buy some really creamy and beautifully packaged soap hand made by Jane on your way out. I have no hesitation in recommending the venue, food and staff of this brilliant little pub and will definitely be back on a more regular basis!

Evening out with friends Great chef, fantastic mouth watering choices from start to finish, great selection of ales and pleasant staff to boot, couldn’t have asked for more

Sunday Lunch I went there for Sunday lunch with friends and family. Fantastic staff, great food .I would thoroughly recommend the Golden Lion for a roast.

Excellent food Our first visit here, it was faultless, great food (= great chef), excellent real ales, clean , pleasant staff, nice atmosphere . The steak was tender and the pepper sauce was superb.
We will make a point of going back.

Wish this was our local! Thank you to the landlord and staff for a fabulous Sunday lunch and your genuine hospitality to my wife and me and our dog Tilly.
The beef and accompanying vegetables were the best in my long living memory.
This was the highlight of our few days in the area!
We will return.
Many thanks

Father's Day Treat What a gem the Golden is!!!
I was taken there last night by my three favourite daughters for a belated Fathers Day treat and had a great time and a great meal again.

What a wonderful birthday I have visited this pub on and off for, well, a long time. This visit was to celebrelate a significant birthday. Meetings and correspondence with Sonny were fantastic. Reassuring and guiding. The choices of finger buffet food were brilliant. The taste and quality of the food produced were amazing. Very little was left! The staff were attentive, friendly and caring. All in all, we are definitely going back. Definitely exploring the menu and definitely letting our friends know if this wonderful, historic and marvellous public house.

great Sunday roast We've been here a few times but not for Sunday lunch. Four of us had a great lunch that couldn't be faulted.
We'd booked and arrived 5 minutes early, just time to order a drink in the bar before going through to the dining room.. (You can eat in the bar and I'm not sure if you can specify- I wasn't asked when I booked).
Nice bread was brought as we ordered four roast beef and a bottle of Carmenere red wine. The meal came quite quickly just time to finish our drinks and it was great.
The beef was very pink (as specified) and it was good meat as very tasty and not tough. Nice Yorkshire pudding, courgettes not over cooked, turnip and roast potatoes.
If anything too much gravy (but able to finish this off as luckily I still had some bread left at the end)!
Not only was the food excellent but the service from the bar and all serving staff was quick and genuinely friendly.
£95 for 2 G&T, 2 soft drinks, good bottle of red and 4 lunches. Glad we didn't have starters and too full for dessert. Happy with the cost for a lovely lunch.

Great to be back A fabulous traditional pub with such great history. 6 of us had a lovely meal recently. Quiet due to the football - now the football is over please head back. As soon as we were seated drinks ordered and came swiftly. Then we were treated to a delicious pre-starter. The Whitebait and Camembert starters very good. Enough for us to share. 3 of the group ordered Steak with all the trimmings. All very happy. An additional item was the Tandoori Chicken. Very tasty and the accompaniments perfect. The selection of wine was very good and enjoyed as were the beers. To finish we had 2 cheeseboards. As advised we ordered at the start of our meal and it was all delicious. A wonderful evening had by all and we will definitely be back. Thank you Greg and Jane and all the staff.
