The Golden Lion

Heard a rumour that one of my favourite local eateries was in new hands these days. So I popped in to see if my friends Liv and Lennie were still there. But they've moved on now, so I thought I'd test out their replacements. And I'm very glad I did too. I'm thinking that the people of Rainford must be particularly patient, because I was greeted by a very happy young manager named Ben, and we had a proper good old chat. Not just a cursory "how do you do" exchange, but a real good old fashioned natter, before he told me about our new chef Lewis, and then introduced me to young Zoe, who looked after me beautifully for the rest of the afternoon. And I realised, I hadn't had a simple good old fashioned cheeseburger for over two years now, so Zoe brought me a delightfully filling burger with a side order of sweet potato fries. It was delicious. Every bit as good as I remembered it. Maybe the staff might change and the management might be different, but the smiles are just as warm and the food is just as gorgeous. I'm glad I tried the new Golden Lion out. It's still amazing. I'll be checking it out again next month too. FIVE STARS PLUS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐(+) #Excellent

Good pub..prices excellent...can get a pork pie in the market and eat it in the pub!

Great little place. Enjoyed our Friday evening here.

Popped in here for a drink, with a friend. While there we decided to order some food. It was absolutely delicious and very well presented. It's a Nice little pub with a lovely atmosphere and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Will definitely be visiting again soon.

Great bar staff great humour

Midweek lunch date with my friend. Spotlessly clean restaurant. The staff were attentive without being overbearing. The food was absolutely DELICIOUS. We spent about 2.5hrs here and we weren't rushed out, it was a lovely afternoon in a delightful location.

Cracking pub .. really good atmosphere.. lovely bar staff.. loads of room.. televisions. An the price's are very reasonable. Can't fault the place, definitely a place to be.

The service is amazing everything is dealt with in a helpful manner. Offerig us extras and my children free dessert because something was missing off the menu. The young gentleman behind the bar is one of the best i have seen his customer service skills are 110%

Great prices great atmosphere

Been redecorated since I was last in. Nice little pub

Stayed here for 3 nights. Staff friendly and welcoming, the room was nice and the beds were comfortable. We were in a twin room right next to two bathrooms. As the room was at the back of the establishment, we did not here much noise from below. Will be staying here again.
