✨ Exciting Updates ✨

Wow, what an amazing start we’ve had!

We’ve been thrilled by the incredible support from everyone and are delighted with the response to our opening and first two months.

Thank you to everyone who has welcomed us and been part of this exciting new chapter.

Licensing Update

We’re pleased to confirm that the premises licence has now been transferred into our name. We’ll be looking to amend the permitted hours to better suit our business needs, including the introduction of a morning coffee and cake offer – more details soon!

Events and Community News

Quiz Nights

Our first quiz night was a huge success – with 98 participants! The £98 entry total kicks off this year’s charity collection fund. We’d love your suggestions for a local charity to support for the rest of 2025. Each year, we’ll select a new charity from community recommendations. Email us your ideas or speak to one of the team.
📅 The next quiz date will be announced shortly.

Live Music

We’re delighted to confirm that local duo “The Myers” will be performing on Saturday 8th November – it’s sure to be a great night!

Weekly Specials

Each Friday and Saturday night, our Specials Menu will run alongside the Main Menu. The dishes will change weekly to tantalise the tastebuds and introduce new flavours.

Looking Ahead

We’ll continue to keep everyone updated with news, menus and events.

Meanwhile, we’d love your help with a few upcoming plans:

1️⃣ Breakfast with Santa

We’d love to host this festive favourite but have lost the telephone number of the big man in the North Pole — does anybody have his contact details? Does anybody know how to create a grotto?

2️⃣ New Year’s Eve – Your Choice!

We already have an amazing duo booked to help us see in 2026. Now we’d like you to help decide what sort of evening to plan:

Option A – Gourmet Dinner and Party
A fine dining menu with a choice of 3 starters, 3 mains, 3 desserts, followed by live music and a New Year’s celebration. Limited numbers – booking essential.

Option B – Buffet and Ticketed Party
Main Menu until 5pm, then ticket-only entry from 7.30pm. Buffet at 10pm and fizz at midnight. More tickets available but still limited.

Option C – Open Party Night
Main Menu served until 6.30pm, then a live music celebration into the New Year. Come and go as you wish!

🎄 Christmas Opening

Christmas Day: Open for drinks only from 12 noon – 2pm
Put the turkey in the oven and join us for a festive toast with friends and neighbours — it truly is “the most wonderful time of the year!”

Please note: Food service stops at 6.30pm Christmas Eve and resumes on Boxing Day.

Team News

We’ve met many shareholders as they collected their share certificates — if you haven’t yet collected yours, just pop in and speak to one of the team.

We continue to grow our team and would love to recruit more senior chefs with expertise and experience in high-quality, locally sourced fresh food and service.

We are also looking for a part-time cleaner for 2 or 3 hours on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.

If you or someone you know might be interested, please get in touch.

🎉 Private Bookings

We’ve already hosted a Christening, a funeral and several birthdays — and would love to host your next celebration. Private areas available for up to 60 guests.

If you’re part of a local group and would like to hold your meetings at The Golden Lion, just send us an email.

Thank You

Once again, a huge thank you to everyone for your continued support.
