Absolutely wonderful meal, service, atmosphere! The food was divine, all cooked fresh and just an all round wonderful place to go.
Great food at a good price. The Red Lion is always busy. So the atmosphere is great. You can enjoy sitting outside in the summer too. Above all, I have eaten (the crayfish and salmon starter is amazing) here many times and the service and food is consistently high. I look forward to my next visit.
Lovely family pub with authentic Italian cooking and nice little cosy beer garden with toys available for kids. A hidden gem with great service. Thank you so much. (Sorry for the half eaten food, decided to review after I realised how good it all tasted )
Great evening for a party of 12 hungry chaps and our wonderful lady guest. Service was impeccable, nothing too much trouble. Menu explained really well for our allergy chaps. Really wonderful food, perfect portions and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Thank you Red Lion team.
So thrilled to have had my birthday dinner here! I had Lobster Tagliatelle . That actually needs 10 stars as 5 just ain't enough! Amazing
