Red Lion in Rotherham

Not the best food, it’s really gone down hill. Fish and chips are clearly cooked straight from the freezer. Waiter was pretty rude, beer was off so we complained about it and he basically told us to suck it up!

Great hotel and pub! The best hotel we have stayed in for a long time and we travel a lot, hotel is spotlessly clean, lovely decor and fittings, staff are so friendly and helpful We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again We had an evening meal in the pub restaurant and were looked after so well, food was delicious!

Excellent food lovely atmosphere thank you xx

Had a great evening meal and came back for breakfast too. Brilliant venue for a "Friday is go", food is excellent. Thankyou to Shell and Lucy who did everything they could to make the evening special for us. It now our go to place for a great good value meal out. Keep up the good work and thanks to all the staff and especially those in the kitchen 10/10

Great location. Restaurant fab for both breakfast and dinner

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff. Rooms are exquisite.

Went for lunch, the menu choice was good, bar was well stocked with a good selection of alcohol & none alcoholic drinks, the staff were very friendly & helpful.

Lovely place. Very welcoming. Staff were great.

Absolutely fantastic stay. The staff, food, and room were great 😃

Went for lunch. Very nice food.

First visit but won't be the last, really great pub, didn't eat so can only judge the place, drinks and service which were all excellent!

On arrival we were met by Rebecca at the reception she looked after us extremely well. The rooms are excellent and very comfortable. We have thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.

Visited the 7th August fantastic service and food. Lovely place to visit.

Lovely room. Clean. Friendly staff. Great food.

Delightful environment and superlative welcome! Thanks for everything!!!

The food and rooms are great, but if you need the internet in any form forget it. Absolutely atrocious, it's like being on dial up from the 90s. Seriously bad, couldn't get maps to work. The WiFi must have been installed by a child. There isn't any WiFi to speak of. If you've meetings planned go somewhere else.

A warm and friendly welcome from June to the Red Lion. Very attractive rooms, and beautiful artwork in every area. The food was cooked well, and served by a delightful and helpful team. Close to the motorway, this was a perfect stop for us on our way north.

Not the most visually pleasing place if you sit outside as it's 2 secs from a roundabout. Car park can be hectic and you have to use a tablet at the bar to register your car. Prices of all drinks and food in my opinion is just above average. Nice looking family pub though to bring friends and family for a meal though and the staff and service is good.

A few years ago we’d gone off this place, but recently the food and more importantly, the service has been fantastic. Calm, relaxed, quick service and great, tasty food. Definitely become one of the better pubs in South Yorkshire!

We dined here for my mum's birthday and we won't be returning in a hurry! Firstly, the young girl asking us to enter our registration number into the console was very abrupt when asked why we had to do this when the carpark was empty! The meals did not excite any of us! The chips were reconstituted potatoes.. the grilled vegetables had no thought given to them, no oil, no spices.. the fish was not as good as others we've eaten in the area, low grade and frozen! On the plus side, lovely building and interior decor...with the added touches of dustwebs!

Lovely pub, good food however unfortunately our experience was let down by the passive aggressive waitress (blonde hair and glasses) with a terrible attitude towards us as customers and no decency to apologise after making us clearly uncomfortable during our meal. To begin with they had made a mistake with our order which we were fine with we just wanted to receive the missing item but the lady was not apologetic or helpful at all she just argued her point which in my opinion is not how situations like this should be dealt with. We also asked for some extra sauce to have with our dinner and were made to feel like an inconvenience as she had to go back to the kitchen and get it she followed our request with the comments ‘anything else? mayo? vinegar?’ in a passive aggressive manner making all of us uncomfortable as if we were asking for to much. Her customer service was terrible throughout the whole time we visited so i won’t be returning because of this.

Nice pub with good food and drink plus accommodation

A nice hotel restaurant. Good cuisine, clean and large rooms and a very loving welcome at the reception and friendly service. Despite the reason for the stay was unfortunately that our car was broken we enjoyed the time here and look forward to come back for a planned stop on our next vacation!

Stopped for lunch. Food nicely presented but portions quite small that didn't justify the price.

Our second stay at this fabulous hotel .The foods amazing and all the staff are all second to none . The rooms are immaculate as is the whole pub and restaurant. Hats off to the cleaners your hard work has been noticed. We love this place so much we've booked another stay .

Had a lovely meal, service is nice and friendly food delicious.

Fantastic food Sunday dinners are absolutely the best you could ever have going again, and we can highly recommend it

Lovely staff . Nice and clean . No problems or faults at all

Food always of good quality and lovely staff 👌

Lovely pub with great choice of drinks.

Staff are warm, friendly & welcoming, rooms are immaculate very clean & tidy, food is excellent & very enjoyable. I enjoyed the calm relaxed atmosphere. I stayed overnight Tuesday.

Food was very nice. Staff are friendly. We were stood waiting for a long time waiting for someone to seat us. The place was empty. Someone on the bar eventually gave them a kick in the back and 2 people suddenly appeared.

We decided to call in on our way back from a weekend away. As we walked in, we were greeted by smiling staff, who seated us and got our drinks. Very friendly, warm atmosphere. Beautiful decor and the toilets were clean, and nicely decorated. The food was excellent, we chose starters and mains. I had my main from the specials menu and it was delicious. Will definitely visit again.

Great stay for 3 nights. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms clean and comfortable.

A Sunday lunch at a Hotel / Pub restaurant. Made booking for table day before, straight forward. Staff made you feel welcome, shown to the table, order place for food. Food was delivered in 10 minutes or sooner, portions given were bigger than expected, massive Yorkshire pudding, pig in blanket also massive. (See pictures) Ordered dessert, again not disappointed. Overall, drinks, lunch, and dessert are all excellent. If passing or wondering where to visit for a Sunday lunch, I would highly recommend 👌

Nice clean resteraunt food was nice 🙂

The food is very delicious and the waiters are very friendly👍

Great pub food was awesome. Busy and noisy but a great atmosphere. We will be coming back soon. The barstaff and waitress were great. Friendly and informative without being over the top. Well done all

been passing this pub many many time, it was my first time visit. the interior decoration was good. toilets were very clean. the dishes ordered were delicious. the beef was tender in signature burger.but the beef was tough in mixed grill and no lamb chop. the belly pork was tender and tasty. the ice cream sundae and sticky toffee pudding were good.

Our second lunchtime visit to this pub. very nice interior. Last time they had a great fireplace roaring. This time there was no fire and it was very cold inside. Staff were polite and efficient, but weren't "attentive" in any way, with me having to get out of my seat to get the food order taken. Main course food was excellent. Though, the lunchtime scampi was bad quality, arranged on a plate like a child's chicken nuggets. enjoyable, will be back - just wasn't as comfortable as our previous visit.

Nice hotel with choice of menus

Staff are very polite and friendly. Very clean lovely rooms and bathrooms.

Nice pub food but very expensive for the area and not anything fancy. Didn't stay In the hotel

Lovely serving staff & the grub was very tasty and reasonably priced.

Had Sunday roasts at about 6pm. Meat was average (luke warm and quite dry), no roast potatoes but we weren't told this, instead got what tasted like microwave or instant mash (which was cold), stone cold solid Yorkshire puddings, "seasonal greens" just cold peas and lumpy gravy. Reminded me of a school dinner. At £16 a roast this has to be the worst meal I have had out anywhere, recommend eating elsewhere. Staff were friendly, efficient and dealt well with the complaint, which was the one saving grace

How to lose a customer? 1. Put a parking scheme 2. Fine your customers 3. Great Success! I'm not a frequent customer and probably I missed the moment when they put that in place. However, the staff wasn't really bothered to inform me that there is one. Me and who I was with must have missed some sort of a sign somewhere which was not very kindly explained to me over the phone by the staff when I tried to sort this mess out. Concluding - I'm not a Red Lion customer anymore.

Went for a drink with a friend. A few days later I received a penalty for parking at this establishment. Worth noting that neither I nor my friend noticed it.  I phoned them and straight away I was greeted with a passive-aggressive tone "but THERE IS a sign". This tells you that there is an issue with it yet they decided to do absolutely nothing with it. And when you read this review they most likely will reply with copy-paste reply that this will be cancelled for customers. Well, I did send an email with the proof - they decided to make me pay. Yet another means to squeeze customers. For me one place to avoid and not to recommend. Think if you wanna go through the process of unscrambling it if you slip your finger while typing your reg or you simply miss THIS sign.

Convenient pub you meet friends.

Five of us went for a meal Saturday evening, service was excellent, food piping hot, nice to see some old classics back on the new menu, even though the portion sizes were more than enough we all managed deserts which were as good as our main courses. All of us enjoyed it and will definitely be going back

Chefs board was a sad site! Not worth a penny more than 8 pounds.. felt ripped off!

Food overpriced for small portions, when I complained about my over cooked chicken burger wasnt a burger but was 2 deepfried chicken strips, the managers reaction in customer service appalling. Won't be back.

Very clean, food was hot and well presented. Staff very friendly and polite.

Went here for mother's day ,great atmosphere,staff friendly and helpful,ordered mushroom starter which was very nice but for main course I ordered trio of meat Sunday lunch and my wife ordered the beef and when the food arrived presentation was loverly but when we tooked in the food was only warm not hot which was very disappointing.i know they was busy but still you pay for hot food not warm.i can't fault the cheese cake but all in all I was a little disappointed.

Lovely cosy friendly hotel, great food. Never disappointed.

We ate here a few nights ago. The food was good but overpriced for what you got (compared to our local Beefeater). The service was ok given it was a very busy Friday night. Not sure I’d go back unless I had a money off voucher.

Excellent meeting place twixt Donny & Sheffield

We stop a few times but this time was disappointing

i stopped in the hotel booked through booking . com , parked in hotel car park no one said anything about parking had a meal stopped over night ,then couple days later a car parking fine dodgy company euro something ,what a scam won’t be going there again

Busy, long wait for food, ideally placed on A57 if you need to stop for a break/lunch.

Ok food, nothing to write home about. Don't think the chef and brewer menu flatters it + it's expensive. Much better when it was Vintage Inns. Really good selection of drinks across the board.

Food expensive and not great quality.

Excellent food, excellent service, and Peroni on draught, get the Mrs's to drive and get trollied!. All joking apart, first class food, well worth a visit.

Fab place to stay. Rooms are tastefully decorated and there were little things that made a difference. Option to have cold milk for the tea and coffee and cookies too Chocolates on the bedside tables. Service was great as well. Plenty of parking and just off the motorway. Only issue was the mirror too high in the bathroom and I prefer a shower rather than a shower in the bath. But no deal breaker. Definitely stay again and would try the food next time.

Great pub, with lovely food and great atmosphere. Rooms were clean and very nice, would visit again if we were in the area 👍

Had a family birthday meal. 4 out of 5 meals were very good. The other was both the starter and main meal was on the specials, crispy pheasant strips were nice, all 3 of them. The main was wild boar sausage, mash and onion gravy which was also nice however there was 2 small sausages and a small blob of mash. It wasn't worth half the money charged. We had a birthday cake at home then but my son went for a fish on his way home as he was starving.

Great pub with a good atmosphere.

Great Family meal, good menu choices suited all 3 generations.

Took my little boy for lunch. We were seated somewhere quiet, and looked after so well during our time there. Gemma brought us a high chair, crayons and an activity sheet and she made a fuss of my little boy. She was very friendly, polite and had a smile on her face, which can be rare at times in hospitality. The child’s meal was a great size and freshly cooked local produce. A quality meal for children. Would take my little boy again. The Red Lion is also a great place for dinner with friends. Well decorated, nice country interior, warm and a great atmosphere. Thank you Gemma for looking after us so well, see you again soon.

I booked this hotel for my husband's Birthday, so he could have a drink with his meal so he didn't have to drive afterwards. First of all on arrival, the hotel has ample parking with plenty of accessible parking spaces. The hotel was very inviting to look at. We were greeted by the manager (I didn't manage to get his name), he was very polite, welcoming and gave us all the info we needed for our night's stay. Our room was number 17...very clean airy and inviting. A big enough wardrobe for hanging clothes, there is also an iron, ironing board and a hairdryer inside the wardrobe. The bathroom is beautifully decorated with both a rainfall and handheld shower. The double bed was very comfortable and bedding spotless. There is a lovely touch of a couple of miniature chocolates on the bedside table. There is a hot drinks tray in the room with a kettle, a good selection of coffee, tea and hot chocolate and biscuits. We had our evening meal in the restaurant which is very tastefully decorated, the staff were excellent and very attentive. The food was excellent and very well presented. We were served by Laura and Arlie who were both fantastic. Breakfast was very good, with a good choice of cereals and fruit juices. Coffee/tea is served at the table and refilled as often as you like. The maple and bacon pancakes are absolutely amazing...thoroughly recommended. All in all, I would thoroughly recommend this hotel for a stay and a meal...10/10 Thankyou to management and all staff for a lovely overnight stay at your beautiful hotel, we will definitely be recommending to others and will be back again.

I have only used this place for the bar. We go occasionally primarily because it’s the only place nearby that all of my family have something they like to drink. Drinks are a bit dearer than other pubs/bars nearby. However they do a lovely hot chocolate with a piece of cookie which is my favourite, and a large selection of soft drinks too. Just wish there was a bit more area for sitting in the bar section as quite frequently it’s packed with people stood all over. Also with the car park remember to log your reg. They do have a tablet to log it on but (I believe) only the 1 so you often have to ask someone to move to access it.

Good local pub for us with good atmosphere, excellent wine and yummy hot chocolate

Lovely place to eat. Came with my wife for a nice meal. Laura gave us amazing service and all the staff were very polite and helpful.

We have been twice for a meal at The Red Lion and have never been disappointed. My parents have stayed in the hotel once and said the rooms were lovely. It’s not too far from where we live so it’s quite convenient when they visit us. The food always tastes so fresh and every member of staff we come across is helpful and pleasant. I haven’t ever had chance to get any staff’s names but they’ve all been lovely. This evening we enjoyed beautifully cooked Sea Bass and Scallops, which were really tasty and presented nicely. I like the specials sheet that is handed out with the menus too, it’s always got something seasonal and tempting. We will definitely keep coming back ☺️

The food was excellent and so was the service. Nice relaxing atmosphere, what more could anyone want.

We go here regularly for meals and it never disappoints. Lovely food, great selection and friendly staff. Make sure you book for a Sunday lunch!

No cash policy now reinstated, food was great too.

Lovely staff and rooms are very nice restaurant service was very slow but food nice .

Just stopped off for breakfast lovely friendly pub attached yo accommodation.

Came here for dinner and Laura was very friend jt and polite. Food was great!

Been here multiple times for breakfast with Santa, lunch and for Sunday roast (including pudding) and each time the food has been great. No long waits, great table service and really tasty food. Great presentation of food also Will definitely be coming back. It’s also a family friendly and cosy environment Lovely overnight stay also. Rooms were very clean and spacious and had lovely decor.

Very pleasant Sunday lunch. Reasonably priced and good service.

Nice place, food fine. Bit more expensive than some other places

Never stayed over but love to come here for food and drinks. Nice environment and friendly staff and great food!

Very nice pub. Good food and most of service was good. Only issue we had was mushroom starter was cold. Had to wait ages for our empty cups to be taken away whilst eating mains. Then asked for a cup of tea and was given hot milk. Asked for some cold milk. Waited 1p mins for milk. No milk was brought so had to go and ask again. The building is beautiful inside. The toilets are spectacular.
