THE WATER RAT REVIEWS
This lovely local pub in an amazing setting on the River is starting to grow on me. 3rd visit now in 2 weeks. Great beers, friendly service nice vibe inside. Seating outside to sit alongside the river and overlooked by Ripon Cathedral. Albeit not many tables. Haven't eaten there yet but the food coming out of the kitchen looked great and well presented.
Delicious fish n chips. It's rare to find yourself eating all those stray bits of batter, in this case because they are so light and tasty. Great view out onto the river and nice people. Burger looked good, fish pie was honest and creamy, sandwiches looked good. Highly recommended.
Had a pint here, friendly service and not too expensive. Sat at the outside tables right next to the roaring river, which have a great view up towards the Cathedral.

THE GOLDEN LION REVIEWS
An absolutely first-class friendly pub, very clean and with a great atmosphere. I didn't have a meal, so I can't comment on the food, but the beer was in great fettle and the barman was a real character. Special mention for the super clean toilets. Genuinely highly recommended.
Dear Owners, I've tried contacting you via the email on the website (but it bounces back) and tried calling but the line doesn't connect. Can you please advise the best way to get in touch? I'd like to make a booking.
Had a fantastic Sunday lunch staff very attentive very friendly great atmosphere definitely be going back
