We first discovered the Red Lion last month when we stopped off for lunch on our way to an appointment . The meal we had was lovely, and the staff were attentive and the manager Andy was really friendly; we had a good old chat with him. This week we were passing through the area again, so made a reservation for lunch. We emailed the pub to see if we could pre-order the vegan celeriac steak as we really fancied this particular dish. We got a very quick response to confirm our order, and on arrival to the pub, we were greeted by Andy and his team. The celeriac steak was beautifully presented and so tasty (and the side order of fries were some of the best we have had!). Alongside the fabulous staff and fabulous food, the interior of the pub is warm and inviting. It has a lovely dining area as well as a welcoming bar area with upholstered seating and very cosy fireplace. There’s a great outdoor seating area for the Summer months and a good sized car park. We dined on a Monday at 12pm and the pub was filling up quite quickly which for a Monday lunchtime tells you how much people love this place. If you are in the area we would highly recommend checking this pub out.
Had such a lovely dinner with a friend- for a birthday meal (Tip- sign up to the Red Lion’s newsletter and they’ll send you deals! Our was BOGOF dinner!!!). Our orders were taken and dinner served by Reece under the watchful eye of Manager, Andy. It was Reece’s first shift… and you know what? He was superb. He’s such a lovely, enthusiastic young man, he’s going to be another superb addition to the team. Cocktails were superb too!! 🍸
Was seated nicely according to size of family, welcomed with smiles especially Andy ! Was really attentive and never had to wait and entertained little one with his time …thanks Andy and to the other staff too !! food was to die for and all really hot and good portions we had a great evening out,we will be back again for sure ! Lucy and family !! Xx
Stopped in for lunch and a pudding, food was amazing (we had the messy burger and the steak sandwich) both came with beef dripping sauce. Best burger I've had in a while, cut it into quarters to eat it slower 🤭🤭. Had the sticky toffee pudding and the raspberry white chocolate pavlova which were divine. Definitely coming back again. Atmosphere was good, classy gastro pub Tudor vibes, chilled, didn't feel cramped nor spacious.
Dinner for 6 at the Red Lion, food was really good, fillet steak came cooked exactly as requested. Chicken and beef burgers, fish and chips, and half chicken we're all really tasty, nicely presented, and good portions. Desserts were all enjoyed, the biscoff chocolate bomb worth it just to see it melting! Lots of parking, don't forget to register your car number plate.....
