The Golden Lion Hotel

About The Golden Lion Hotel

Ten years of families have been coming back for the fish and chips here, and the batter still gets talked about — crisp, not heavy, with a zingy pink sauce on the side. It looks small from the road but opens up a lot inside, with a warm, cosy outdoor area that's lovely for a slow lunch. Food comes out fast, which matters when someone's had enough, and the kids' meals are proper cooking rather than an afterthought. The Sunday roast draws people in for its generous portions and the cauliflower cheese. High chairs, buggy access, vegan options and a kids' menu are all sorted. Two snags: it's around £30 a head with a drink, and parking outside is tight — there's a public car park five minutes away off Long Street. Book ahead in summer.
