The People

Allan joined The Golden Lion in 2009 and in summer 2010 took the helm as General Manger.  We managed to snare Allan away from his home county of the Wirral, where ironically working at The Boat House many moons ago ignited his passion for pubs.

Marianne aka 'Maz' has been at the Golden Lion since the age of 17 when she joined as a part time member of staff. She is now very much considered a part of the furniture, as well as a crucial part of the pubs management team! With her bubbly, hardworking nature she definitely proves good things come in very small packages!!

Matthew Parker runs our kitchen. Our youngest head chef, Matt's enthusiasm for food is unprecedented, he even keeps his own chickens in his back garden!!

Simon started with W&F in 2001 as part of the opening kitchen team at The Goshawk and has been at The Golden Lion since 2003. If Simon isn’t cooking you will find on a computer game staring at his TV that is bigger than the cinema!!
