Will Larter left this review about The Golden Lion

One of the best pub fronts I have ever seen, and I immediately added it to my to do list. When I looked inside, though, I saw three hand pumps with three Greene King beers, all with "coming soon" notices draped over them. I've seen this before in a Greene King pub (Old Dog & Partridge in Nottingham a couple of months ago), and then - as now - I turned around and walked out the door. Is this a widespread phenomenon in the GK tied estate? And if so, are they having a laugh?

Nice exterior, with a large bay window. Interior is very Nicholsons in feel - this extends to the same menu and near same drinks selection that I found in the Prospect of Whitby the day after.

On this visit, the TT Landlord was off - so it was a Beavertown Neck Oil. Standard pub food, delivered quickly and effeciently.

Another typical St James's local, in an old building wedged in between offices and boasting lots of dark wood and some nice glasswork. There is a 'Theatre Bar' upstairs and outdoor drinking in the adjacent alleyway. A Greene King pub, with IPA and Yardbird on handpump, plus TT Landlord as the guest.
