VisitCornwall's Pub of the Year. The Golden Lion Inn & Lakeside Restaurant is wonderfully positioned on the shores of Stithians Lake, a little known but beautiful reservoir is set in the hills between Redruth, Helston and Falmouth.

The 2007 winner of the coveted Cornwall Tourism Awards Pub of The Year trophy, The Golden Lion Inn is a destination pub with a strong emphasis on great food and great service in a fantastic waterside location. Whether you choose to dine in the light and spacious Restaurant offering views of Stithians Lake, or prefer the traditional oak-beamed Bar with its real log fires, you’ll enjoy the quality of the food, full table service and friendly atmosphere. The extensive award winning gardens provide a wonderful opportunity to dine alfresco, with the option of retiring to the cover and heating of the garden shelter in inclement weather.

The Golden Lion’s Main Menu offers a mouthwatering choice of over 20 main courses, plus starters and desserts, all homemade on the premises using the best of local ingredients. The main menu offers plenty of classic dishes, such as Steak, Real Ale & Kidney Pie with Chips and Steamed Vegetables, to Fillet of Cornish Beef Wellington with Madeira Sauce, Breast of Honey Glazed Barbary Duck with a Port and Plum Sauce, and Steamed Fillet of Sea Bass with Crayfish Tails and Lemon Butter. Prices range from £7-95 to £19.95 for Main Courses, £3.95 to £6.50 for Starters and £4.25 to £5.95 for Homemade Desserts.

The Light Summer Lunch Menu is available at lunchtimes in addition to the Main Menu and has a strong emphasis on Fresh Salads with a choice of styles and toppings, Free Range Egg Omelettes and interestingly filled Baguettes. For younger diners the Golden Cubs Menu has plenty of tasty, “proper food” on offer.

St. Austell Ales are kept to the highest Cask Marque standards at The Golden Lion and the Wine List offers over 20 New World and European Wines, with many by the glass or half bottle. For coffee lovers the Lavazza Coffee Menu offers freshly ground beans to rival the well known high street chains. There is even Free WiFi Broadband in The Bar and Snug so you can “Surf while you Sip”!
