The Golden Lion — Restaurant in Calderdale

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.

My very first visit to this wonderful pub. I went to see the fabulous Ginger Taylor but sadly he was in hospital but it's excellent news, he, according to Facebook and other friends, is now recovering from surgery, the Big 👨 will play another day with luck 👍🏼 😀 😉 Back to the Northern. Amazing pub, brilliant crowd 👏 One of those places you don't have to be there long and you know half the room, just what a good pub should be! Fantastic DJs, music to dance forever to and a brilliant crowd 👏 What more can I say 😀 😄?? Come back Ginger 🫚 and we'll do it again with you leading at the front !! Bit less talc on the floor please, it just keeps us older Soulers safe !! Can't do roller skating or cycling any more but we can dance but not on something resembling an ice rink !!...

Barman pulled me an off pint. It stank like festering yeast. I finished my pool game and took it back. Barman pulled some for himself and said there was nothing wrong with it. He must be accustomed to this scent, most of their beer probably tastes this way due to poor cellar management. Why else would the staff think retch-worthy beer has "nothing wrong with it"

It was a quiet day and I had taken only one tiny sip. It should have been replaced. Even if the barman himself enjoys the cheesy scent of fungal/bacterial growth.

The beer was 'eagle strike' by the way. The barman who disserviced me was a tall guy with black hair. Management: Give him some lessons in hospitality. And more importantly stop serving nauseating product which tastes like it was brewed from...
