CAMRA Gold Award-winning pub with artist-designed rooms & dedicated parking in Bridgnorth
Rooms & Themed Design
The Golden Lion Inn offers five uniquely decorated rooms created by professional designers and local artists, including the Button Suite by Jay Blades. Rooms such as Platform 3 and the Retro Suite follow distinct themes, with the Shropshire Suite providing a private outdoor patio. Each room includes a private bathroom, tea and coffee makers, and streaming services.
Award-Winning Ales & Bar
The pub serves Holdens cask ales brewed on-site, which earned a CAMRA Gold Regional Award in 2018 and a Champion Beer of Britain Silver Medal in the Bitter category in 2005. The bar stocks a range of other real ales and wines at reasonable prices. Guests can join a friendly community of locals and staff in the pub downstairs.
Parking & Central Location
Every room comes with its own reserved parking space behind the pub, a major benefit in Bridgnorth where street parking is scarce. The inn sits on the High Street, a one-minute walk from St Leonards Church and the Severn Valley Railway. Ironbridge Gorge is 12 km away, with Blists Hill and Severn Valley Country Park also within reach.
Breakfast & Pre-Order System
Breakfast is pre-ordered the evening before and cooked fresh each morning, using locally sourced ingredients such as quality bacon and sausages. The menu includes full English and vegetarian options, served between 8am and 10am. Guests rate the breakfast highly for its quality and variety.
Local Activities & Community
The pub participates in local events and maintains a welcoming community atmosphere with regular pub crawls and live music nights. Guests can go cycling, fishing, or hiking in the surrounding Shropshire countryside. The Severn Valley Country Park and Bridgnorth Castle are within walking distance.
