Meet the team!

Our amazing General Manager Allan has been here at the Golden Lion for 15 years! Allan is originally from the Wirral, and moved to Rossett after hearing from his dad about how beautiful the area is. He started out at the pub as a Deputy Manager and quickly progressed.

Allan loves working at the Golden Lion and says the best part of the job is that every day and every customer is different. Allan loves the fish dishes on our menu, and his favourite drink is a real ale, to “keep his sportsman’s physique in check!”

In his spare time, Allan enjoys a rejuvenating walk with his dog Barney (who is known and loved by many of our customers!) or relaxing on the beach with a good book.

Allan feels his biggest achievement during his time at the Golden Lion is the annual music festival, which he established many years ago with his good friend and colleague Rob. The festival has grown each year and has become an integral part of life at the Golden Lion! Allan is greatly looking forward to seeing you all at the next festival, which will be taking place over the August

Sister Rosetta Tharpe (born Rosetta Nubin, March 20, 1915 – October 9, 1973)[1] was an American singer, songwriter and guitarist. She gained popularity in the 1930s and 1940s with her gospel recordings, characterized by a unique mixture of spiritual lyrics and electric guitar. She was the first great recording star of gospel music, and was among the first gospel musicians to appeal to rhythm and blues and rock and roll audiences, later being referred to as "the original soul sister" and "the Godmother of rock and roll".[2][3][4] She influenced early rock-and-roll musicians, including Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and also later guitarists, such as Eric Clapton.[6][7][8]
