Had an enjoyable family dinner at The Red Lion Petersfield. Service was excellent despite it being very busy last night. All meals ordered & paid for via a smart phone app from table. The only downside need to check food arrives hot, one member of party the burger with cheese & bacon along with burger roll was still frozen when brought to table but staff quickly responded and resolved the problem
Well what can I say? This really is a lovely big pub, full of little rooms here and there with a single large space in front of the bar. The staff were very friendly and happy to share a laugh. Out the back is quite a respectably sized beer garden with plenty of space to enjoy the late summer sunshine. As per usual, the fish & chips was excellent and totally NOT greasy as you seem to get a a lot of spoons. If you have difficulty walking or are in a wheel chair, take note that there are a couple of steps throughout, but you can probably get where your going by just choosing the best door. The Guinness was also excellent.
Well, it's a weatherspoons pub, so it does what it says 'on the tin'. A wide menu selection, with a soft drink or beer for £10 or less. Curry, pizzas, burgers, fish, and chips. Ice cream, etc. The place is huge, with lots of smaller areas that all flow into one another. There is a pay and display car park at the side, but be careful parking here as I got a parking ticket. The festival car park is only 1 minute walk away and free after 6 pm. You order and pay at the bar for food. You need to tell them your table number, or you can download the app and order from your phone while sitting at the table. There is free WiFi that you have to sign in to use. It's never too busy in the evenings. You can usually get a table. There are tvs always on and fruit machines if you don't value your money..
I was fortunate to have the Manager's Special 4.99 for fish, chips, and garden peas. I also had a portion of onion rings and a side order of roasted vegetables. The main meal was good, but the sides weren't the best. The Shipyard craftbeer was very good, too. Just over £11.00 for the filling feast. Sunday night is quiz night.
The red lion is a typical JD wetherspoons set in a lovely old building. It offers the same menu and beverages as most of the others. The food was nothing special it was cheap and it hit the spot, the staff were friendly. There is parking available next to the pub and its pay and display. It is close to the town centre so it's ideal for a spot of lunch while shopping.
