The pub was fine, but the ordering for the meal was slow, and there was no update on the order. We wait for an hour. Drinks we need to go to the bar to collect our drinks and glasses for the wine.

Still a good pub. Used to be my local when I worked in romford about 25 years ago.

I've been visting the lion regularly for many, many years. Natalie, Reece and the all the staff are brilliant, they leave nothing to be left wanting. They are welcoming to everyone and people always end up having a chat with them. They've created such a nice place to be and a great local community that's also just as welcoming to anyone popping in for a beer and/or a meal. The lion and it's staff are great supporters of local culture and community, hosting live music, a place for local clubs and more, it's great to have somewhere left in the town like it. The food it head and shoulders above all other pubs in Romford too. The pub itself has so much character and history, literally. It's cozy in the winter and nice and airy in the summer, speaking of which; the beer garden is also great, converted from the old horse yard and extending a fair way under cover of an archway between the pub's two buildings. Best pub in Romford by most people's reckoning. Thanks guys!Vegetarian options: Great! Not just the boring, uncreative dishes like other pubs/restaurants sometimes offer, I enjoy eating there as a vegetarian and my meat eating mates often opt for the veggie options too.Dietary restrictions: Great for veggies and vegans, very conscious of allergies and other dietary requirements.

A very pleasant pub in the centre of Romford. I have been to the Golden Lion many times and thoroughly enjoyed each but typically in the summer & outside. I recently visited with family and chose to stay inside due to the weather and time of year. Whilst the staff and other patrons were all friendly there was a pervasive smell of urine which spoilt what would otherwise have been a thoroughly enjoyable post cinema chill, chat & beer. Strangely the smell wasn't present in the toilets...

Best music!!Came in hungover for food and what a welcome Megan gave us!!Had a turkey roast (a Sunday) was scrumptious for sure!!Totally recommend for food, music and staff!
I only stopped for a pint, but it seemed a nice charming place. Did not have food so cannot comment on that (they run out of fish and chips) Staff was friendly and atmosphere good.
