HISTORY
The Golden Lion Tap is a real old English pub with parts of the building dating from the early 1600s. Whilst many of the original features have been preserved, the building has been sympathetically restored to maintain its heritage, character, history and atmosphere. The entrance to the Bar is light and airy with comfortable seating for drinking or, just watching the world go by on one sid

e and a pool table with seating at tables and a small bar area on the other. The centre is a beautiful space which was once a courtyard area and retains many original features whilst the main bar is more modern and contains a wide screen t.v on which various sporting events are shown on a regular basis. Up our stone stairway we have T-pots Cocktail lounge where you can enjoy your favourite in our comfortable separete lounge area or head into the upstairs function room to dance and sing the night away. Our staff are dedicated to providing a warm welcome and a relaxing atmosphere whilst maintaining a professional level of service and hospitality. Public House - Cocktail Bar - Event Venue - Nightclub
