About The Old Red Lion

Summer or winter, the Welland Valley is a beautiful part of the Midlands and The Old Red Lion at Welham, near Market Harborough, lies at its heart. This traditional country pub has been under the same family ownership for more than three decades and is open for food right through from 11.30am onwards, seven days a week. The varied and extensive menu has more than 70 dishes to choose from, including plenty of vegan and vegetarian choices, as well as a good selection of beers, wines and spirits. Leather sofas round the log fire are a real draw in the winter and year-round it’s a great place to relax and refuel after a stroll on one of the area’s many footpaths and bridleways.  Come for a meal or just a drink in the recently refurbished Green Room. And don’t miss their ‘World Famous Special’ – two 10-ounce rump steaks and any bottle of wine from £18.99.

Easy to book - no deposit required. Welcoming staff, clean clean tables and chairs, not too busy when I visited, prompt and courteous service, hot food served with a smile (hidden by a mask), on hot plates, of very good portions and absolutely delicious . And at a price that makes you wonder quite how they do it. I had lunch of stunning liver, bacon and onions with mash and peas - and didn't eat again until breakfast the following day. Satisfying desserts available at just £1 - and ALL calorie free (that's what Carol told me anyway!). What's not to like? What possible reason could there be not to revisit - or indeed drive a ten mile round trip to collect a takeaway if those become available over the coming weeks? Scores 11/10

Have always loved this place, however Friday night was not for us .had booked a table for 6, was given a table for 4, and told it will be a squeeze. Table backed onto another table, chairs were back to back, definately not social distanced. Everytime a memer of staff came over, they moved there mask down. Girl behind the bar everytime she served drinks, touched the tops of all the glasses. Starters came and the young lad just put them down and said “starters”.... no cutlery given. I didn’t feel there was any Covid secure measures in place.

Warm welcome. Food lovely as always. Small room up the step, was looking very unwelcoming, sparse. Shame the meet and greet chap is leaving, he is so good at his job.

Firstly I have been to this restaurant 2/3 times in the past and everything has been great however last night not so great... when we walked in the staff basically ignored us, then while I was eating my starter the main came out way before finishing, then I asked for ketchup and napkins which never came so I had to ask twice by that time my food was cold, they forgot my bacon in my burger which got brought out separately, they didn’t ask us if we wanted desert I had to get up to find someone to pay the bill even know this is against restrictions, there was no QR code to track and trace no wonder they made us start a tab straight away poor service let the food down.

Sadly not up to your usual standard. Steak was a bit dry and not nearly as succulent as usual.

Easy to book a table online, when we arrived we were show straight to our table wish was stained and covered in salt, we sat for 35 minutes waiting for someone to come and take our order which was a bit surprising as there wasn't many other diners, the food came quite quickly and was fine but when we were finished we were not offered any choice of dessert, I had to approach the bar to ask for the bill, I must say the standard has really dropped in service and cleanliness, your staff are nice enough but could do with some lessons in customer service.
