Michael Wright's review is thorough and still current, The Golden Lion was an enjoyable venue for an impromptu family lunch. To me, the most notable aspect is the warm welcome, despite it being a busy Bank Holiday. In addition the food is good, although by no means cheap, and the beer (from the nearby Suthwyk Brewery) was as fresh as you could wish for. It seems that the back yard once housed a brewery, and the building itself now houses a small brewing museum and off-licence, the latter with a large selection of bottles, primarily from the south of England, but with a small Belgian range as well. Draught Suthwyk ale is a further reason to wander in. Definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in the area.

Thankyou Michael for the review (this is Jane the landlady) just one correction!!! there is disabled access down the side of the building as there is a door from the pathway in the garden that comes out between the lounge and the dining room so anyone wobbly on their pins welcome.
