The Golden Lion - South Holland

We have been here for Sunday carvery on numerous occasions found the food to be of a high quality. The Golden Lion is one of the best carveries I have ever been to. The service is great and there is a friendly atmosphere. On this occasion, one of our party had a bit of a turn and was feeling unwell. Lisa, the owner landlady, could not have been more helpful. She was absolutely brilliant, and did everything she could to help while we were waiting for an ambulance. She found out that there were a group of first responders, a nurse, a fireman waiting to eat, who came to our aid. I couldn’t possibly praise the Golden Lion enough for everything they did for us. I’m sure we’ll be back again soon for another family meal.

Visiting Family in the village, so thought we would come here for Sunday Lunch. The Carvery is the only option and I found it pretty average. Although you get plenty of food, the meat was a little fatty in places and the vegetables were not the hottest! Puddings were good and overall the service was ok.

Visited here for the Sunday Carvery, with a Booking for 17 people, we had just been to Spalding for Rememberance Sunday Service, we were all cold and hungry, pleasant welcome on arrival, seating area near the bar where we ordered drinks, chatted away for a while, then were taken into the Restaurant. Choice of meats Turkey Gammon and Beef, all the trimmings the Chipolatas were exceptional, lush Gravy, condiments on the table including Horseradish and Cranberry Sauce, there was no pressure to rush, the young Ladies were attentative to our needs. We all thoroughly enjoyed our Carvery, only one of us had enough room left for Desert, which also looked lovely. I believe the cost was £9.95 for the Carvery which is served until 6pm. Would definately recommend a visit.

The Carvery at the Golden Lion is one of the best in the area. We love our meals there. Lisa does a very good job, often under stress, overseeing the kitchen , training new staff, and doing the carvery, ably assisted sometimes by her mum. Can't wait for our next meal there. Guess you cannot please all of the people all of the time,but in all the years we have been going our meals have been brilliant.I Thankyou for my birthday treat!!!

The service at this restaurant was extremely lacking. We had to specifically request for our dessert order to be taken as the staff seemed uninterested. When we inquired about more broccoli and were met with a rude "NO", no alternative was offered. The Pimms trifle was very disappointing and when we brought it up with the owner, we were simply told that it was meant to be that way. The cream and custard were unset and not fresh. The chef at the carvery could benefit from some customer service training. The vegetarian option was also not properly cooked.
