Great Father's Day lunch visit Enjoyed a great Father's Day Sunday Lunch at the historic Golden Lion in Southwick. Excellent food and nice friendly staff. The proprietor is very proud of his pub and his staff and took time to chat. Thoroughly recommend a visit here for a meal and the opportunity to see the part the pub played in the D-day build up in 1944.

A great atmosphere and very good food. We visited the Golden Lion with a friend who recommended it.

We were not disappointed. We received a very warm welcome, loved the WW2 pictures around the walls and found the staff to be very friendly.

Although the menu was not extensive, I think that it is often better to offer few choices that are cooked well rather than have a large menu that can sometimes be a disappointment.

My friends both chose a steak and I opted for the duck breast which was served with fresh vegetables and a very tasty gravy.

There were only 4 desserts on offer but again, they were all well received.

We all agreed that the meal was superb (in fact the best I had eaten in a pub for a while) and resolved to return.

Drove past this for years! Decided to call in for a pint Popped up to Southwick with a friend. Just had a pint, but we were captivated by the friendly atmosphere of the place!
There was a band on - nothing too noisy, just good quality jazz.
Had a long chat with the head chef, Sonny - resulting in a promise to return to sample the delights of his cooking

Sunday Lunch Great Sunday lunch, roast beef was delicious, staff very helpful and efficient, strongly recommended

Few drinks Was very nice very welcome when we arrived and ordered had few drinks shots also and was good prices and was nice and relaxed reccomend it to anyone cheers

Lovely evening and delicious food Went here for our wedding anniversary meal, and couldn’t fault it at all.
The welcome we received was friendly, there was a great atmosphere and the staff had decorated our table with table confetti.
The food was faultless, and the waitresses were very friendly and attentive. We weren’t rushed at all, which was perfect for us as we don’t get to go out together a lot so it’s good to make an evening of it.
Will definitely be returning- thank you 🙂

Early dinner Came here for an early dinner, stayed for 3 hours.!! Food was lovely, atmosphere was good and the staff were second to none. I'd use this pub a whole lot more if it were closer jf really is a friendly place to go.

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!

First Class! Steeped in history, helpful, friendly landlord and serving staff. Excellent Food. We enjoyed delicious meal today in a friendly relaxed ambiance. Loved it, double thumbs up.

Return visit and always very enjoyable Having eaten here on several occasions before I returned with 3 friends who had not visited. It was a Tuesday night booking and we were advised there was a Jazz Band playing but it did not interfere with our enjoyment. The food was once again presented beautifully and very hot - and obviously home cooked. Service was very friendly and the bar owner checked on us as did other staff and we felt well looked after. Another great time and booking is certainly recommended.
