Charming Pub: Friendly Staff and Tasty Roasts

Stepping into the Golden Lion is like opening a well-loved novel—a familiar aura wraps around you with comforting hospitality. It's not just its sheer size that impresses but the rich, eclectic tapestry of experiences that unfold within. A smattering of Northern Soul melodies welcomes you, setting a harmonious tone, while the pool table, cleverly separated from dining areas, offers another layer of casual relaxation. The pub thrives through its warmth and accessibility, underscored by a team of amiable staff like Noel, Harry, and Zee, who make every interaction feel personal.

Golden Lion’s true culinary delight lies in its Sunday roasts—a symphony of tender meat cuts and fresh vegetables. Beyond that, the menu holds homemade cakes tempting enough to demand a revisit. Details like a cozy garden space and large screens anticipate crowds during football evenings, transforming this quaint establishment into a lively neighborhood hub. While it may be adorned with an exterior begging for a refresh, don’t let it fool you; beneath lies an unpretentious haven filled with genuine camaraderie and charm poised for a promising period of rebirth under new management. — Audrey Al Dente
