What Helen Q doesn't like about The Golden Lion:
I absolutely adore the steak and kidney pudding that is offered once a month, followed by a dessert of my choosing, all for a very affordable price. It is so delicious that my friends and I make sure to book a table every month without fail. View all feedback. What User likes about The Golden Lion:
We had another amazing lunch at the Golden Lion. Amanda and her staff always greet us warmly. This time, we were surprised with Amanda's latest dessert creation, named after her new grandson. It was absolutely delicious! View all feedback.
