I am absolutely disgusted by our experience at the Lions. We were told that food was served all day on Sunday so we arrived around 6 to be told meals weren’t served until 7 o’clock.

Staff seemed a bit hostile too. Saw them serve a customer the wrong drink order and then proceed to blame the customer ordering for their own fault. Customer was quite clear in what they'd ordered, I heard from...
