“Always lovely food.”
Food was beautiful today, I had beef stroganoff with linguine and garlic bread, my husband had ham egg and chips, food was made to order . Jam was cut lovely and thick and tasted lovely. I told the man that served us to tell the chef to keep the stroganoff on the menu as it was so nice.

“Fantastic”
Great place to stay and eat. The loaded fries and burger was amazing. Mark the host was very friendly and couldn't do enough for you. Great location for the mining museum etc. Nearly forgot we loved the steam room and sauna in the basement. Wouldn't hesitate to go back again

Found it hard to choose from the menu. The Greek platter was disappointing. Service was bad. Having been to The Lion many times before I will not be returning for quite a while.
