Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Golden Lion
Good looking old pub, although the reconfigured and unsympathetically refurbished interior - with the bar in the centre, a lounge with a sports TV to the left and a dining room on the right-hand side - disappoints. The cask ale choice of Tribute or Oakham Citra (£3.80) from the three handpumps is also limited

Quinno _ left this review about Ye Golden Lion
An aged, attractive Tudor building, incongruously surrounded by a thundering through-road and a nasty car park. Two very distinct rooms inside, separated by a narrow bar area. This small bar greets you on entering with a myriad of pumps, though only four were on and a fairly safe line-up of GK Abbot, GK London Glory, Tribute, Adnams Ghost Ship (decent nick) with polite service. Look out for carved wood lion heads on lower bar covering. The left room has a tiled floor, black beamed ceiling, leaded windows, some bench seating and button back sofas along with TV sport. Through a door on the right of the bar is a high vaulted ceiling baronial-style room with dark wood panelling, a mini suit of armour, a jumbo gold framed mirror and a minstrels gallery - quite a spectacle. It’s worth a visit this one; shame the beer range wasn’t a bit more diverse.

Aqualung . left this review about Ye Golden Lion
This pub is clearly a very old building. Inside it is a single room with low ceilings and a red tiled floor. To the right as you enter is an opulent looking dining room.
The bar has eight hand pumps but with only five in use. Beers available were London Pride, Tribute, Ghost Ship, Elgood's Saturday Night Beaver and Slater's Queen Bee. I went for the Slater's Queen Bee (£3.60 reduced to £3.24 with the CAMRA Discount). This was in very good condition. Although it's a bit food orientated this is a nice old pub and well worth a visit. It is GBG 2015 listed.
