DRINKS MENU
WELCOME Originally a 17th century coaching inn between Chester and Wrexham, the Golden Lion was at the very origins of the hamlet known as Rossett or Yr Orsedd. As time went by, many a travelling soul would stop off at the tavern and one particular guest is still here today Legend has it that Jeffrey, a Ploughman, was hanged in Ruthin for the murder of a local farmer. His body was transferred and displayed on a gibbet at Rossett as a deterrent to other would-be criminals. A wooden pallet that was used to transport poor Jeffrey s body was used in the construction of the pub. Jeffrey now lives quite contentedly upstairs and though still inclined to mischief, is perfectly harmless. Indeed, he has been known to have a sneaky drink on occasion, moving bottles from behind the bar and leaving glasses and chairs upturned.
