Golden Lion (Swinton)

Great refurbishment, access could do with a ramp other than that a very enjoyable time. Staff friendly and helpful food good value and very tasty

Food was absolutely gorgeous Would highly recommend! Vegetarian options: Had Veggie Bean Chilli, was lovely

Good atmosphere good selection of beers and the food is really good, it's been done up recently and it's made a big difference, I definitely recommend

We Love This Joseph Holt Pub/Eatery, It's Not Far From Our Home, Having Said That. We Always Take The Car (As It's About 1½ Miles Away). The Food Choices Are Good & Best Of All, They Serve Down To Earth English Food . Can't Comment On The Beer & Wine As I'm Always The Driver.

Visited the Golden Lion this evening turned out to be an extremely disappointing visit and most certainly won’t be visiting again. Myself and my daughter waited over 50 mins for our food was told when ordering food there was a 30 mins wait which I accepted but was more like close to an hour, I had to get up and ask a member of staff if they can check on where our meals were, no apology from staff member but said she would send someone over to our table. Young waitresses advised ours was the next table to come out from the kitchen. Meals took a further 15 mins to come out and other tables were before ours. Once meals came I was told they had no Yorkshire puddings left for my Sunday dinner while presenting me with the dinner surly they would have known before starting to make my meal there was no Yorkshire puddings left? Extras we also ordered didn’t come out and had to ask for them. Requested to see the manager only to be presented with the first member of staff I spoke to, was quite surprised she was a manager, aired my frustration to the manager. Manager went in the kitchen to check what had gone on. Returned to our table and said “yeah the kitchen staff said they couldn’t find any Yorkshire puddings but I think they made up that story! So can’t tell you what’s gone on” Which was completely unprofessional of her. Offered complimentary drink or dessert as a standard form of apology which we declined as we wanted to just eat our food and leave. While eating our meals the table next to us also complained about how dry their chicken was an sent their meal back. All in all very poor experience and won’t be returning.

A very clean and cozy local pub. I love the Mazala and also the herbs fry chicken wings. I have not yet tried the steak, so I reserve the fifth star for next time trying the golden steak.

First time in since the revamp, food was fantastic, will be going here in future rather than having to have microwaved Turkey Dinosaurs, chips and beans at the one 100 yards down the road.
