Okay people, they have upped the game for vegan Sunday roasts! The vegan Wellington seemed to me like a beyond meat/beetroot/veg combination that was hearty, juicy, and full of flavor. Huge portion sizes. Veg cooked to perfection. Extra savory gravy. I am completely impressed! It’s so nice to have an actual Sunday roast and not just veggies as the afterthought “vegan option”. The staff is super friendly and made every effort to accommodate us even when we didn’t have a booking during an extremely busy Sunday lunch. Adding to that, service was speedy and our food arrived perfectly hot. Full honesty on dessert, the vegan chocolate mousse could use some tweaking. The texture was a bit too thick and would be great served with vegan cream or caramel. Again, I really appreciate the Red Lion making a noticeable effort on the plant based options. They’re nailing it and I can’t wait to come back to try their other vegan dishes!

Kayaking down the Cam from the City, you are able to pull your boats out the river, and viva a short walk, are able to drop the kayaks outside the pub and enter for some grub and drinks. There is a large car park just outside we placed the boats and sat in the window with the light streaming through. The burger was very good.

I have been there just for drinks reason I cannot give a rate for food. Very nice place where you feel good, we could have stayed hours there just talking and drinking. I would say it's a traditional English atmosphere. I recommend.

We had a wonderful Sunday Roast at Red Lion. We sat in the garden and enjoyed the sunshine and ciders. I was so happy to have their Vegan Wellington. It was so delicious and felt so great to be part of the meal. I’m actually vegetarian, so I also ordered the stickey toffee pudding with clotted cream ice cream. Everything about our meal was perfect. They have traditional options, but also many well labeled vegetarian and vegan options. We will absolutely return and will bring friends with us 🌱 💚😋

Here’s what you need to know: it was absolutely charming ambiance (we sat in the garden) and the food was very tasty English pub fare. The service was pleasant enough, albeit there was quite a bit of self service involved (which is typical of English short staffing since Brexit). Absolutely Loved the scotch eggs and fish n chips. Their namesake IPA on tap was perfect t, and the Cider was pretty Good too. The short rib and flank Cheeseburger, asparagus salad, and crab sandwich were pretty decent, not great. Overall, the place’s charm and the fact that it was thee perfect weather day in the English countryside makes this a 5 star experience.
