Just great food every time

We just wanted to go somewhere different for dinner. Not been to the Red Lion before. I did book online and it was an easy process. I missed out on starters as I fancied a dessert so went for the pork belly with mash, veggies and apple gravy. Portions were well bigger than expected and very filling as well as very tasty, top marks to the chef, my partner had the rump steak, chips, mushrooms and tomato, cooked perfectly and again good sized portion. Go for the sticky toffee pudding, OMG. There was an offer on of 2 for the price of 1 and for sure excellent value, they also had my favourite cider on tap so win win all evening. Nice staff, friendly. Will deffo be back there with friends.

Lovely food and good choice would like to see soup on menu as a starter Staff were young girls but very professional and attentive and accommodating when we asked for a different table Was very impressed

First time eating at the Red Lion. The restaurant was very welcoming, warm due to lit fires and good wall art. The food itself was not so good. I had the mixed grill, the steak was tough and the plate was swimming with liquid. No staff came to see if things were OK in fact the service was shocking. My wife had the steak pie she said it was good.

Lovely lunchtime meal yesterday (15th March) service was great and food was wonderful and hot… twice I’ve been here in last couple of months and both times I can’t fault the pub

Incredible service the best we have ever had anywhere the girls can’t do enough for you, Food is always beautiful. We are regulars and have never been let down here :)

Another excellent meal from the Red Lion. We could not fault the service from staff . Highly recommend

Lovely pub nice atmosphere. Food all homemade and very tasty the belly pork and the lasagne were both very good. Only slight gripe a lot of staff standing around chatting by the coffe machine / wine store service was a bit on the slow side

I've no idea how they do it but the Red Lion, even at its busiest on Sunday lunchtime, maintains a slick, friendly service and excellent quality food. The staff without exception are a joy to deal with, never phased by the rush and always attentive and polite. Thank you.

Recently had a lunch time meal at the Red Lion. Service was excellent and the sea bass was cooked to perfection! Have been a customer for over 35 years. Fab place in the summertime, very large garden area, play area and plenty of covered garden space too.

Lovey food and fantastic service. Good online booking service for tables. We will defiantly be visiting again. Very happy.

Been visiting the Red Lion for over 20 years and never had a disappointing visit. Loved the table service and the food was excellent.

Lovely food, good service, one of our favourite locals.

Not sure what’s changed but gone downhill. Found the service poor and not attentive. It’s just not like it use to be.

Really great service, great food and couldn't fault anything

Friendly and welcoming. Staff were quick to seat and take our order. Food was delicious.

The service from all staff was excellent, food arrived in good time all orders correct, good portion sizes and everyone enjoyed their meals. Late amendment to booking and seating request was all handled really well and the whole team enabled us to have a lovely evening

Our first time visiting here and will sadly be our last. Not the friendliest of welcomes but we were shown to our table and our drinks order was delivered quickly. Sadly it all went downhill from here, three other tables arrived and were served drinks and their food orders taken. Their food then arrived and we hadn't even been asked if we were ready to order. We had to ask at the bar if we could order our food. Our food order was finally taken and our food arrived shortly after. Once we were finished our table was cleared and we were asked if we would like to see the deserts menu to which we said yes. Half an hour later we still hadn't received a deserts menu or been asked if we wanted any more drinks. Yet again we had to go to the bar to get any attention to which we promptly asked for the bill as we'd had enough by this point. Its a shame as the place is lovely and the food very nice but the service is shocking. We were practically ignored all night so won't be returning
