The Lion Inn, Govilon

Just returned from a meal at The Lion with family and I, along with my sister-in-law, ordered Ostrich steak from the menu. Even though it was a quiet Tuesday night and there were only 5 in our party and the only other people in the place it took 1 hour and 30 minutes before our meals arrived. The other meals (steak pies and curry) looked very nice and we eagerly awaited our steaks. When they arrived we could not help but laugh as they were so small. We each had one minute steak each that was wafer thin and measured about 2inches - and they were charging �11 each for them. I asked the landlady when she brought the meals over about the size of the portion and even if you put them together on one plate you would be disappointed and hungry after them. She was not very happy and kept saying how much she had paid for them and they were expensive for her to buy. Her attitude was awful and everytime she came past our table she kept saying in a loud voice 'Will buy cheaper cuts next time'. It spoilt our evening out and I would never recommend this place to anyone - very slow service, very small portions and extremely bad attitude of the landlady.
