The Golden Lion - Table reservation

I'd visited last summer and enjoyed a pleasant chickpea burger and excellent chips sitting outside. Unfortunately the experience was not replicated when I visited on 17th March. I ordered steak and ale pie and hand cut chips. The pie was only half edible, with the...crust being rock hard and impossible to cut. The chips were almost very good, only needing a minute more in the fryer, but the veg was awful and looked and tasted like it had been scraped off last night's plate and revived with some hot water. I had to leave half the meal and it cost £11.95. I cannot understand why anyone would think it was acceptable to serve this meal to a paying customer.

on a tour through the opposite of weardale over aston and back over alldale. planted a pub lunch somewhere and were quite disappointed to find many places closed during the week. Finally, gilden lion found on the square in alldale city. large bar area with. good selection of ales, lagers and lemons as well as gins etc. the menu selection ranged from sandwiches to bar snacks to full pub-grub menus. we have selected battered cod and chips. it was satisfactory, even if teig and chips were a little on the soggy side of the snore! the staff were friendly and polite and service prompt. the pub had a rather “musty” smell.

we had a bachelor party yesterday for 16 ladies for lunch. we had pre-ordered our meals. eating was nice, catering for food allergies and nutritional requirements. vegan lasagne was excellent. jonny and his whole team were well organized and ensured that we had everything we needed!

we had lunch and enjoyed it. are in the bar/lounge area, instead the restaurant as the atmosphere was friendly and not too full.
