This is one of the best pubs in the North. Very friendly atmosphere and great service. Cool alternative/indie crowd, the pub has bands and events that are always well attended. Highly recommended if you are in the area Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

A nice enough place that I managed to visit when it wasn’t busy lol — nothing to complain about, and the canal next to the pub is a nice touch

The Buddhakkan Headset and Daddy1Love representing Lancaster reggae scene drove out last night to Todmorden to show respect to UK Ponics sound at the Golden Lion. What a beautiful, beautiful place, a little piece of love nestled in the hills. The food was the best Thai dish you could possibly imagine, vegan jungle curry with stunning coconut rice. Every vegetable was carefully cut and prepared, the tofu held all the flavours of the uplifting and soul satisfying sauce with the delicate sweetness of the perfectly cooked coconut rice bringing balanced harmony to the whole dish. The reggae vibrations from the musical stations were strong and mighty, earthstrong. All brothers and sisters of all ages did leap and dance and laugh and shake to the big, big, tunes, many a rewind call from the dancefloor, respect Ras Petey and crew. Bless up all the lovely people there and gratitude and love to all the first class hard working staff and chef. A little piece of Zion. The Buddhakkan Headset.
