We had a wonderfully delicious experience here last night. The ambience and service was excellent and the food was fantastic. We both had fish dishes and the fish was incredibly fresh and cooked to perfection. Highly recommend, and will definitely go back.
Lovely inside, candles on the tables a very cosy local atmosphere it is popular with locals. "Dogs and Ducks Welcome", as long as they are well behaved - someone had a gorgeous pup in there, not a peep from them. Starters were lovely, went in as a group, whitebait and calamari was well portioned, so much so I felt two croquettes a little measly. Mains were very good with healthy portion sizes, the fish especially was quite large, although the peas weren't great. I have to say the chips are fantastic (you get them with the burger as well) and are easily demolished. The Caesar salad was alright, although you'd need to like anchovies and boiled eggs. In all cases I would recommend asking for extra sauce, be it tartar or ketchup. Puddings, again, were really good - had apple crumble and sticky toffee pudding. I would say however that they could be more generous with custard. Limited parking out front, just enough to accommodate people inside but if it's summer there wouldn't be enough parking for inside and out. A lot of people walk in the summer, and there's some parking opposite by the pond. As it is an old building filled with as many tables as is practical I would say it's not wheelchair friendly, there's no designated disabled parking space either.
Great atmosphere, delicious food and brilliant customer service. I've been here a few times during the summer for drinks and decided to visit for dinner on a Friday evening. So good to see a few decent vegetarian/vegan options on the menu as that's hard to come by compared to other local pubs. Customer service was absolutely brilliant. Friendly, welcoming and happy to recommend different items on the menu.
Extremely friendly staff - didnt just take our orders, but actually took time to have a conversation, which just made us feel welcome. Good selection of food and vegetarian options as well. Food was excellent and the portions were generous. If you come by car, then parking may be a bit of an issue if it's busy (you may have to park a bit down the road). But that's really minor if you consider all the pros - the Red Lion is highly recommended.
We have lived 10 minutes from The Red Lion in Penn for nearly 25 years now and it is great place to stop for food and drink. With the village pond and common out front and open countryside out back, it is well situated for walkers, cyclists and families. Decor is cosy and the welcome is friendly. A dog friendly pub too! Brunch today was well served, reasonably priced and delicious. Parking out front for a dozen cars or so, or at the side of the common.
