Popped in for a family lunch on Sunday..... we were a party of 7 and all ordered different food. All the meals arrived together, with every plate piping hot and perfectly presented. The food is of excellent quality, all freshly made. I wanted Cheese and onion pie, and although they had none of their usual ones left, they made up a special version in a pie dish with a flaky pastry top for me - it was fabulous (maybe this should be on the menu as a regular?) ! Thoroughly recommended �
We’ve had some great meals here this year. The food is freshly prepared with quality ingredients (locally sourced meats etc). The staff are really friendly and can’t do enough for you. They’re child friendly and even point our kiddies in the direction of their board games/colouring books if they can tell that they’re looking for something to do. We love catching up with friends and family here especially since the recent refurbishment. We had a family meal here yesterday and were especially impressed with the chef when he made our son a dessert especially for him from scratch just because he fancied something with lemon. Thanks everyone, we’ll be back soon �
Had a truly memorable meal at my local on Tuesday. I’ve waited a few days to post this as I am still savouring the flavours of: (starters) – Black Pudding Scotch Eggs – the pudding coating is extremely light in texture with golden yolky eggs - a combination that melts you without feeling too full for the main course. My guest had the Southern Fried Chicken Goujouns – similarly light and with delicately flavoured dusting of batter. (Mains) – Stuffed Chicken grilled perfection with a sauce to die for. My guest had the Stuffed Peppers – wholesome with a generous helping of sides. All washed down with a value for money bottle of Malbec left no room for deserts!
Came across the pub following a lovely walk along the canal and through the village. Tempted inside by 'Walkers and their dogs welcome'. We received a warm welcome, the service was friendly and the place inviting. The food was tasty and the toffee and chocolate brownie with ice cream was delicious. Nothing was to much trouble. Roaring fire gives the place a homely feel. Will definitely recommend to our friends and family.
Just like to say thank you to Darren, Sam and the team for a fantastic evening last night. Food was excellent as always, please pass on our compliments to the chef, and the Jonny Oates Band was fantastic too. A great atmosphere to help celebrate a family birthday which was enjoyed by all. Highly recommend.
First visit here but wasn't disappointed. Food was excellent, we were served promptly and staff very friendly & welcoming. Menu not extensive (not a bad thing though) but there's something for everyone and a few specials to choose from too. Very reasonably priced. Would recommend a visit and we'll definitely be back!
The food was very good however the portions could have been a little bit bigger. Overall a very homely, friendly & dog friendly pub & I would recommend it to all of my friends.
Amazing food as always and service is spot on definitely our favourite place to eat and drink �

Stop over for lunch before retuning home on a icey Sunday in December 2022. Food was outstanding, loved the logburner on icy day, very homely and comforting. Would highly recommend this awesome pub.
Fantastic fresh food. Went for tea and had the shin beef with mash and veg and a couple of pints of Thwaites Original. Cannot complain at all. Warm and friendly welcome by Darren. Keep up the great work. Will be back soon. Cheers 🍺

Went to golden lion tonight for a meal with friends. 4 of us tried the tapas and enjoyed them
3 others order from the menu. And they also enjoyed there food. This the first time we had been here and found it to be very friendly we all had a good night . Good food good service and a very friendly place x
Spotted this pub as we were driving to Botany Bay and decided to stop for tea on the way back home. Very cosy and relaxing. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. We ordered from the main meals menu and every dish was lovely and fresh. We will definitely come back 😊
I was getting fed up with same old take away found out golden lion has started a take away service during this horrible pandemic.. what can I say? Why didn't you think of this before really good food but not just good food...... pub food that isn't on your run of the mill takeaway menu. Highly recommend Darren and his new venture to anybody reading this review. A takeaway to be beaten and the friendliest service on collection keep up the good work golden lion
Monday night half-term tea; 3 courses for £15. Plenty of variety on the menu. Portion size and quality of food absolutely bang-on.
Landlord has a very good handle on keeping his pub and restaurant Covid secure. Accommodated our family of four and a foursome family of friends on adjacent but separated tables in our own secluded area such that it was as good as an intimate dinner party at home without having to break lockdown guidelines.
Well done Golden Lion Team, and many thanks for allowing us to wander off-menu to satisfy faddy children's wants and needs.
Was passing and went in for a drink.. Saturday night.. there was live music on which was great.. everyone including the regulars to the staff made us feel very welcome, going to go back definitely as the food looked awesome.. it's a great little gem of a pub would recommend a visit..
Called here for lunch on the way to Chorley.
Had passed it previously and thought it looked ok. Was met by a very friendly guy who took our drinks order and brought it to our table, we both had a two course meal and the food was lovely. Was very impressed with the pub overall and will definitely be calling in again.
Excellent meal with friends, Pea Soup was great, Steak Stroganoff superb, Chicken with Pepper Sauce brilliant as was the Sticky Toffe Pudding also the Winter Berry Crumble. Would recommed this place in a heartbeat. We will be returning soon.
