Golden Lion Bar And Restaurant

I had been wanting to give the new 'Antonios ' restaurant section of the Golden Lion Hotel a taste since it opened and finally got in to use a Christmas voucher with my wife.

We ate here twice once in the main restaurant and then in Antonio’s. On both occasions the food was delicious, the service really good and the menu lots to choose from. They really tried hard to make all feel extra safe with the current situation. Thank you

For some reason the manager decided not to take part in the eat out to help out scheme which was some what annoying. 6 of us met for dinner 2 of us stayed in the hotel for one night. Hotel very nice and clean nothing negative to say. The food was quite mediocre nothing very special but the staff were very pleasant. Breafast was good with plenty to keep us going.

No disabled access of facilities, went to a funeral tea was told by owner there was no disabled access but we could lift them in up the steps . Then we’re told if there’s a fire it’s your responsibility to get them out , once inside no toilet for disabled person . Funeral tea soup vegetable broth was Luke warm and a excess of cornflour used , then sandwich to follow which were ok . Still shocked that a new modern building had no disabled access! Shocking !

Our first Sunday Lunch out this year!An unplanned visit, we were staying in the area and after passing by and checked out the menu decided to eat out.We arrived at that ‘in between’ time c1645 to a very quiet restaurant (perfect in these Covid times) The restaurant was well organised from a Covid perspective. Good menu selection but we decided to opt for the special Sunday Lunch menu, which in itself had a great selection.It was excellent. Absolutely delicious, beautifully presented, generous portions. We were looked after by Mike who made us very comfortable and welcome.Will definitely visit again

Called with my wife and family for an 80th birthday lunch. The staff were very good showing us to our seats and getting drinks ordered. My wife had the ravioli , mum in law tagliatelle and myself the lamb Henry.My wifes ravioli was just a white flavourless mush, full of water, we sent that back,my lamb Henry was only a lamb shank and not shoulder, tasted ok but not what it should have been. Mum laws tagliatelle was really tasteless, similar to my wifes ravioli. I did complain to the waitress and hopefully this was taken forward with the chef. Sad really as we have dined here of many occasions and always found the food of a good standard. Maybe this just a post covid blip, I hope so.

We visited recently for Sunday lunch and we were very happy so much so we came again the other evening to enjoy a bar meal however the food quality was poor in comparison to Sunday Lunch.The starters were honestly delicious as expected but when the mains arrived this is when the evening meal became very disappointing.I pretty much left the majority of my meal as did the wife and clearly the staff knew we were not happy as not once did they ask if everything was alright......Simply asking this is basic customer service and can make a huge difference in making the paying customer feel valued.Sadly we won't be back or be able to recommend to others, Such a shame.There's a lot of choice when eat...

We arrived early hoping for cocktails and food. The cocktails were very slow to arrive with items substituted because ‘we’ve run out of passion fruit’. Having to chase up another round was disappointing and the service didn’t get any better. The menu is extensive perhaps this is the issue we ordered two ‘small plates’ and. ‘Side’ each and then we waited, and we waited and we waited. No more drinks were forthcoming and the water that we ordered for the table failed to arrive. When the food did begin in arrive it was clear that several of the dishes had been sitting for some time because they were completely cold. These were sent back and returned clearly microwaved. The food, generally, was t...

I had been wanting to give the new 'Antonios ' restaurant section of the Golden Lion Hotel a taste since it opened and finally got in to use a Christmas voucher with my wife.Hospitality on arrival was good. The place has a modern look.We were shown to our seats at a table for two in the window, which was nice.We were asked if we would like a drink, my wife ordered a cocktail which was fine, but when I asked for a pint of real ale, the response was 'you can get that in the other bar in the main hotel, feel free to walk in and buy one then come back in with it ', to which I responded 'it 's ok, I 'll just do without a drink, thanks ', the staff didn 't seem concerned that a customer wasn 't ha...
