The Golden Lion

Situated at 19 Lanadwell Street, The Golden Lion stands as a testament to Padstow's rich history, being the oldest remaining pub in the town. First mentioned in 1783, this Grade II listed building has long served as a central hub for the community, even hosting auctions for boats and goods in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.

Today, The Golden Lion continues to uphold its legacy by offering a welcoming environment where patrons can enjoy a variety of local beers and lagers alongside high-quality, locally sourced food. The pub's menu features traditional British cuisine, with operating hours from Monday to Saturday, 12:00 PM to 2:30 PM and 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM. On Sundays, a special roast is served from 12:00 PM to 4:00 PM.

For those wishing to extend their stay, The Golden Lion offers three individually decorated en-suite rooms—two doubles and one twin/double. Each room is equipped with a TV and tea/coffee making facilities, providing a comfortable retreat after a day of exploring Padstow's charming streets and scenic surroundings. Please note that check-in is available after 3:00 PM, and check-out is by 10:00 AM. The establishment does not accommodate dogs in the rooms and is limited to guests over the age of 18, with a maximum of two people per room.

The Golden Lion also plays a significant role in local traditions, notably the annual 'Obby 'Oss festival held on May Day. The festival begins at midnight with unaccompanied singing around the town, starting at The Golden Lion Inn, and continues throughout the day with processions featuring hobby horses and traditional music

Whether you're seeking a hearty meal, a refreshing drink, or a cozy place to stay, The Golden Lion encapsulates the essence of Cornish hospitality in a historic and vibrant setting.
