"We have visited this restaurant before and found it to be a pleasurable experience. We have always been impressed with the separate vegetarian/vegan options. However, on this most recent visit, it seemed as though we had stumbled upon a different place. On arrival I informed staff that we had booked a table. We were told to go and pick a table, so there was no specific one reserved. The menu did have a vegetarian/menu but not as extensive or as interesting as before. My starter of hummus was not the smooth silky delight I had been expecting but was more like chunky mashed chick peas . Two of the main courses sweet potato burger and a lion burger were OK, but nothing special. My main of marinaded portobello mushrooms was so overpoweringly flavoured with ginger that I only managed to eat a third of it. The predominant flavour of the seafood risotto was cheese. The clearing of the table was quite sloppy, napkins, cutlery and food were not cleared away before the dessert course. My ice cream again was nothing special and was unnecessarily decorated with what I thought were inedible silver balls. I didn't want to risk a dental accident by trying them. The most disappointing aspect of the evening was the fact that it was a special occasion. I had spoken to a young man on the phone to arrange a different start time and had told him that we would be celebrating our wedding anniversary and my husband's 70th birthday. In the event, no mention was made of it at all. I was not expecting any complimentary items but a mention of the occasion would not have gone amiss. I cannot understand the dramatic change in the service and standard since our last visit. A very underwhelming experience which we shall not be in a hurry to repeat. Such a shame."

We had family Sunday lunch in the Golden Lion last weekend, the food service was fantastic. I would highly recommend the Lion it is our favorite place to go for drinks with friends or food with the family by far.

Great service and welcome. Excellent menu with vegan and vegetarian options. Food was beautifully presented and very tasty. Have already booked for next week and will be booking for Xmas as it has a great menu with vegan and vegetarian options.

A nice clean, very efficient restaurant serving fantastic food. Staff are very personable and even as a lone diner, i was completely relaxed. Be warned though, they are completely cashless... You must pay by card. My only disappointment...is just another establishment that does not serve New Zealand Sauvignon by the glass. I wish this would change. But that aside, i would definitely eat here again.

The food was great, but considering the price and service level, I don’t feel it was a good overall experience. The pub is lovely, well decorated and the tables haven’t been set too close to each other. Unfortunately though, it took us a long time to place our drinks order and the bartender seemed inexperienced and it took a great deal of time for our drinks to be ready (coke and pimms, nothing complex turned out the pimms was just pimms and lemonade). The food came relatively quickly and was well presented and tasty. After finishing our meal it took around 30 minutes for our plates to be cleared at which point we decided to pay and take our chances elsewhere for a dessert. The bill then too...

"Was excited to visit for the first time after seeing the award wins for best Mexican in the local news. Looking online the menu looked good so made a booking for 17:30 on a Thursday. On arrival we were seated quickly. The ambiance in the venue is very nice, with real lit candles on each table and twinkly lights up in the beams of the ceiling. I did need to move the candle to the side however as I couldn’t see my partner past it as it was in our eye line. The candle holder is also an old tequila bottle, which is a nice touch but takes a lot of space up on the table. On opening the menu, I noticed it was sticky. Which wasn’t the nicest. As the room is relatively dark I was unable to tell if this was old food or if they’d wiped the menu’s down, but it does make you a little wary. It took a while for the waitress assigned to our section to then come around to take our order. So we ordered drinks and our food at the same time. While waiting for the food to arrive my partner who has type one diabetes was trying to access the internet to look up carb info, unfortunately we noticed that we couldn’t get any signal so asked for the Wi-Fi code. We were brought around the password from the actual Wi-Fi router which contained password but it has been badly scratched so we couldn’t get it to work. Only a small thing to note should you need access to the internet at all during your visit. When the starters arrived I had the taquitos, pork. I have a gluten allergy and stipulated this when ordering but when the starters were brought out there was no indication on the plating that it was gluten free or any second mentioning from the waiting staff. Nether the less, they looked like corn being a yellow colour so proceeded to eat them, and I have to say they were delicious and I would have happily had a new more as a main course. The calamari my partner described as “umm, good, tasty”. Not long after we finished our starters the mains were brought out. I’m my opinion there wasn’t a big enough gap between the starter and the main. As soon as one plate was cleared, the next arrived. My partner ordered the prawn burrito and described it burrito as “Far too big, Far too cheesy, the prawns lacked something. Because it was so cheesy it was quite fatty and greasy and needed something to cut through it all.” He only ate half of it and on clearing the plates away we were offered to take it home but we declined, we made a point on the large portion and the waiter said “yeah, we feed a lot of Americans here”. My dads American and he wouldn’t have eaten the whole burrito. I ordered the chicken and steak fajitas. The steak was cooked nicely but I found it quite tough. The chicken was over cooked and a little dry. However again the portion size was huge and I was unable to eat it all. There was also not enough room on the table for all of the bits, so I had to rest the foiled wraps on my leg. Again I ordered a gluten free option but there was no mention of this when it arrived and this time the wraps were a lighter whiter colour, which caused me concern. In the end I didn’t eat the wraps because they were the same colour as the burrito wrap and as no indication they were gluten free it caused me some anxiety. Getting attention if the waiting staff to double check was difficult so I just left them to the side and ate the meat veg on their own. The couple wraps I did eat I have to say we’re not the nicest. They were quite tough and at the same time tasted undercooked, like there was some raw taste to them. I wouldn’t order it again. Drink wise I ordered the pina colada and again probably wouldn’t order it again. Though there was nothing overly wrong with it, I’ve just had better. Overall, it was just over £60 for two starters, two mains and two alcoholic drinks. I don’t think that’s particularly bad value given the absolute huge portion sizes. It might be worth Amigos offering a small medium large option at different price points so those who don’t want giant burritos fajitas can get the smaller options at a lower value. Amigos might also end up taking more as there was no chance we’d have been able to eat a desert, however if the main had been more appropriately portioned then we likely would have had one. However, in terms of the allergens. It’s great that they offer gluten free alternatives, however please introduce a GF sticker for the plates or get waiting staff to say “Gluten free Fajitas” when serving. It just helps to eliminate any fear that there may have been a mistake in the kitchen and helps diners with allergies to relax and feel more comfortable. As things stand. We wouldn’t return for what we had above. However, there was a good atmosphere in there and I’d possibly return as a place to have a few drinks and share some nachos, just not for a sit down meal."
