Delicious Food Experience

I was pleasantly surprised by the food at The Golden Lion. We had amazing dishes including steaks and the Mediterranean Tartlet, which was a good vegan option. Each meal was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and I truly felt the heart of Yorkshire hospitality.

The staff were attentive and helpful, although the dining options didn't quite meet my expectations. Overall, the value for money was decent, but the limited breakfast choices left something to be desired.
