Homely, welcoming, single bar community pub on the main road to the east of Aldershot. A strong tradition in darts, James Wade played here, with two boards and a trophy cabinet heaving with many darts cups. The bar has a quieter back area and a covered patio at the rear for smokers. Substantial and good value Sunday roasts are served September to May and booking is recommended as they are very popular. There is a weekly meat draw at 7pm every Friday and a bi-weekly pub quiz on Tuesdays. The pub dogs Ernie and Teddy welcome well behaved canine friends. Heading further east along the High Street is the Red Lion and further still on the Lower Farnham Road is the White Lion which together form the Three Lions pub tour.

Historic Interest

The Golden Lion was formed from the conversion of the last two of a block of four cottages, built in the 1850’s or 1860’s. Like many of the earlier Aldershot pubs it is known that the Golden Lion was used as a venue for auctions, one of which was held in February 1868 which gives an indication of when it became a pub. Heading further east along the High Street is the Red Lion and further still on the Lower Farnham Road is the White Lion which together form the Three Lions pub tour.
