Red Lion in Fenland

Went for dinner last night before going to the cinema, I had the mega burger & my partner had a omelette. When we arrived we spoke to the owners and they were very welcoming and even gave up there time to show us round the restaurant, that was modern and well layed out. We ordered our food and drinks and food arrived quickly and very hot and fresh. The food was lovley and a great portion so we left full unlike some other restaurants we have been to where you feel like you have left wanting more. We will definitely be back look forward to trying more of the dishes off the menu and specials. Thankyou again look forward to seeing you all again soon, thankyou for being great hosts. #greatfood #greatservice #greatatmosphere #highlyrecommended 👍🍔🍕

Greeted by friendly staff. All had something different. The portions were massive and reasonably priced . A menu and a specials board with loads to choose from I had chicken madras which was absolutely out of this world. Can’t wait for next visit

Called on a day trip to Wisbech, selected based on previous reviews. Sadly no dog friendly area’s inside, but the patio at the back was nice. Food was great, fresh home cooked, generous portions & reasonably priced…particularly recommend the ham & eggs. Unfortunately the cask beer was poorly pulled & lifeless, nevertheless would recommend a visit

Popped in for Sunday lunch after visiting family in Wisbech. Rang at 14.30 and got a table for 15.00hrs. From the outside the pub doesn't look all that.. but its lovely inside with a cosy friendly atmosphere and very clean. Free glass of house wine with your Sunday dinner, so that was nice. Large portion sizes. Friendly service. Would return thank you.

I have to admit to being biassed. I live in Wisbech and have used the Red Lion, on and off, for over 50 years. Recently it changed hands and I was slightly worried that the new people wouldn't be as good as Maggie had been. I need not have worried! The staff were super polite, the menu was varied, prices were what I have come to expect for good pub food and service was courteous and efficient. I had the chicken, noodles and black bean sauce which was wonderfly flavoursome and hot. Portions were generous and my wife's omelette was good too. I had a couple of pints of Elgood's Cambridge bitter and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. We are going back again this week, taking another couple with us. I do not know the family that is running it now but would like to thank them for a truly pleasant evening.

FANTASTIC ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ as always x Love coming here… x travel from Spain to come here Never disappointed always so lovely Food Ambience Staff AMAZING XXXX

Had a fantastic meal, portion sizes are huge, desserts to die for, staff can't do enough for you, well worth the money Would definitely recommend We will be returning

Have frequented the Red Lion several times before. Unfortunately on this occasion the visit was spoilt by the rude waiter. I can’t comment on my meal, I left it after a couple of mouthfuls.

We have visited this pub frequently and have eaten well however all that changed tonight and we won't be going back. 4 of us dined this evening. The starters were fine let me add, however it went downhill from there. The minted lamb chops were so spicy they were inedible and had to be sent back, the prawn curry was tasteless with clumps of rice and that was sent back. The ribeye was fatty thank goodness for the chips. 1 of us ate their meal. When it came to paying there was no offer of a reduction or a free drink which frankly is bad customer service we paid over £120 for 1 meal starters and drinks poor evening out and very costly we won't return.

Excellent, intelligent service in a pleasant and spotless environment. So why only 'average'? Becase we dropped in for Sunday lunch and I'm sorry but the food was airline standard. Roast potatoes and veg were fine but the meat was this cut and overdone. Smacked of a production line. Pity because I imagine if we'd ordered other dishes which were less 'mass produced' they'd have been much better. And sadly we were in the back room which was a bit sterile.

Friendly staff, good service , well prepared and tasty food all provided in a pub with a good atmosphere. Well done to all!

Great food ,went on Streak night (Thursday) really good offer and fabulous service. We come here often , always have a lovely time. Don't rush you either 😀👍

An excellent choice, food is plentiful and always very tasty, prices demonstrate good value for money. Staff are very pleasant and helpful. Specials board is well worth a look also.

Popped in for lunch for the first time today. Don't be fooled by the exterior of the pub. The food was amazing, friendly staff and reasonably priced, would highly recommend.

Just moved to the area. Thought we would try the Red Lion for a roast dinner. Wow, the size of the portions were amazing. Compliments to the chef as the turkey I had was delicious and I even tried my husbands lamb - which was also delicious. Will definitely recommend and be going back.

Had Sunday lunch here today, it was lovely. Excellent portions, all homemade and really tasty. The service was excellent too, it was a spur of the moment decision to go and fortunately they had a table available, will definitely go again. Thank you ☺️

Excellent Sunday Roast. Tender beef, crispy roast potatoes. Great service. Friendly staff. And a complimentary glass of wine. Highly recommended.

Could not ask for a better night out. Food was amazing, could not fault anything we had. Really good value for money and lovely service. Highly recommend Friday Curry night and also the Creamy Stilton Mushrooms - chefs kiss!!

Couldn’t fault the food…..absolutely delicious, Staff very friendly and helpful…. If I did have to find a fault…it would be the time taken to order our meal….must have been well over half an hour…but having said that…..worth waiting for???? Yes!

As visitors to Wisbech, we initially struggled to find traditional pub food. We then found the Red Lion and could not fault it. The bar area was busy, but the staff managed to find us a table. The food was top quality and the portions very large. Also a pleasant atmosphere and attentive staff. In fact it was so good that we returned again 2 days later. If you are in the area, give it a try.

LOVELY AS ALWAYS ❤️ The food and deals are amazing (go hungry) A really nice pub with plenty of seating inside and outside too with a car park

Great food and lovely staff. This pub is so welcoming and deserves to be packed out every night! Stayed at a National Trust property almost next door and didn’t need to look anywhere else for food!

Great find. A lovely pub. Food and service excellent and serving Elgoods real ale. Good social space outside. Best to book sunday lunch as gets popular

My husband and I called in for lunch on Friday 21st July. We are not regulars but were made to feel very welcome. The portion sizes , from a very varied menu , were extremely generous and very tasty. Would highly recommend to anyone in the vicinity.

Ordered a ploughmans and a club sandwich,had to go in after waiting 45 mins to check if everything was ok.Food then came out and was the worse ploughmans i have ever seen 😳

In need of update. Strange smell in corridor. Sign informing customers “All food freshly cooked, so may be a delay” Maybe they haven’t got enough Microwaves or fryer’s! Our experience was more like eating in A Retirement home. Pre sliced/cooked meats, mash, stuffing, crackling and...

This pub is an absolute gem. You get a very warm welcome when you arrive. The pub is very attractive inside and out with a lovely atmosphere. The food is delicious with a large menu. The home-made cherry pie is a must! Extensive range of...

The best pub/restaurant I have ever been too. Great food, big portions, relaxed atmosphere and the only place with the Mega Burger! It just feels like home.

We were welcomed as old friends on or first visit. The food was excellent along with a good selection of wines. Chefs are really experienced.

Food really quality cooked to perfection. We have previously had food when previous owners were in situ. We had not had such an amazing meal, very tasty and served with warm friendly staff, we will be back soon.compliments to the chef.

What’s cracking place to have a drink and a bite (heehee) to eat. Seriously… new owners and massive portions and great quality products used. Will definitely be stopping by again the next time we come to Wisbech!!

Everything was perfect. Great choice of meats, hot, plenty of vegetables, abundant proper gravy, masterpiece Yorkshire puddings, generous portions. Such good value that I wonder if they make a profit at all. We will return. Also parking is easy. Thank you.

Sometimes you come across a small gem in the middle of nowhere. Like finding a perfectly formed shell on the dirtiest part of the beach. This is one of them. A great roast. A sweet atmosphere and some of the most devilish pork scratchings in...

I would highly recommend this place, good portions and top quality food and great service. My little boy didn’t want a roast, and it wasn’t a problem as the chief cooked him his favourite dinner chicken nuggets and chips. You need to give this place...

We popped in for Sunday lunch. Could not fault it , a choice of 4 meats and a veggie option too. Staff friendly as usual, very professional. We can recommend this .

Great pub food in a friendly and welcoming pub. An excellent place for lunch near Peckover House. Good sized portions.

Been here afew times, staff are always friendly. They are usually quite busy but the food is always very tasty and home made. Definately recommended!!

We were a party of 9 and turned up shortly before lunchtime service ended but were still welcomed, even though it must have been inconvenient timing. Every dish ordered was delicious with really generous portions … and a more than reasonable bill (much less than...

Passing through Wisbech at lunchtime so we checked Trip Advisor for recommendations. The pub on the riverside had a good car park and looked inviting. The staff gave us a genuinely warm welcome and found us a table immediately. The lunchtime specials looked a great...

Lovely ❤️ A great little pub with big offerings…. Super friendly staff x Delicious food with plenty to choose from with menus and special boards

First visit on 17th July, cosy pub with polite staff, large selection on menu which will satisfy everyone & the food was excellent. Would recommend highly

My husband and I have visited the Red Lion twice in the last month, once with family and once as a couple, and both times we had an excellent meal with friendly, efficient staff. It is so hard to get well cooked more than ample...

First time here with friends who have been repeatedly. This is a traditional pub without any of the modern embellishments....just as all pubs used to be. Drinks are reasonably priced and served by friendly Katie (?). The food is absolutely delicious... we each had different...

Haven't been to Red Lion for a while, but glad to be back over the jubilee weekend was an amazing meal I had rump steak, cooked just right, my wife had Lasagne which was tastiest lasagne I've had in Wisbech. My son had the loaded...

We visiting with a range of ages, ordered our food and it took an hour to come but everyone was happy with their food once it arrived. After we had eaten we notice there was a dead ant and an alive ant running round the...

Often go with my daughter for lunch. There’s a great choice, with menu and specials on the board. Food is great and probably the only restaurant locally that actually serves HOT food which is great!

The best welcome! Such lovely staff! Great service and incredibly clean. Lovely food and drink too but it’s all about the service for me! Thank you!

Fantastic local pub restaurant that serves freshly cooked food. Great choice of food from either the menu or from the specials board. Staff always very helpful and friendly as well. Would recommend the Red Lion to anyone in the area or visitors, good sized restaurant...

Four of us visited lunch time. They were all pleasant & friendly, service was faultless & we all enjoyed a first class pub dinner at a fair price.

Was really pleasantly surprised with our meal here. Staying nearby and was trying to find a restaurant for 7 of us and seemed like everywhere round here was closed on a Tuesday. Called the Red Lion and a very helpful young man booked us a...

What a find! We were recommended here from the campsite we were staying at a few minutes away and it did not disappoint. Last minute booking on the day and they accommodated all 8 of us. Friendly from start to end, they even bought out...

We always call in to the Red Lion when we visit Wisbech because we know that we will get a friendly welcome and attentive service. The food is of a very good standard with plenty of choice. Also the prices are reasonable.

Food was fantastic as always. Just wish I had a bigger stomach, so I wouldn’t have to make choices. And could have an extra dessert. Or two.

We booked a table for two for Valentines evening at the Red Lion. Last time we ate here we sat in the bar (very nice) but this evening we sat in the restaurant. It was so well laid out ready for the evening, with a...

We had lunch & there was plenty of choice from the main menu and the specials. I had the small fish and chips which was more than adequate & very tasty. My husband had the normal size cod and chips which was very large. My...

The Red Lion is a well run pub serving consistently excellent meals at lunchtime and evenings. A short walk from the town centre, the Red Lion is worth seeking out and is the best lunch venue we have found in an otherwise down-at-heel town.

On a cold, wet, miserable day we had a ride out from our home in Lincolnshire to this great pub. We had two of Maggie's specials - minty lamb casserole and beef in wine Both were superb so tender and flavoursome followed by ginger pudding...

We were visiting Wisbech to go to Peckover House and needed somewhere for lunch. We booked our table and ordered the Lamb and mint hotpot for main course. The lemon meringue pie dessert was great too. All the food was extremely tasty and portions were...

Great Sunday lunch today- Beef and Turkey chosen for myself and wife. Wonderful service and very tasty food what a Sunday lunch should be. Great place and marvellous atmosphere and wonderful service. Recommend the Red Lion to anyone you will not be disappointed.😀👍

Very friendly and welcoming. The beer was good but the food was excellent. No frills, wholesome home cooking. Large portions and reasonably priced. The staff were very accommodating and charming. Worth popping into if you’re in the area.

Good Old Fashioned Pub . In lovely surroundings. Far and few between these days. Excellent home cooked food. Friendly attentive staff. Couldn’t wish for more. The Jewel in the Crown for Wisbech. Lovely friendly atmosphere.

Excellent friendly staff, food great taste and excellent value for money. Atmosphere is very good. Would always recommend.

Normally eat here once a week, very good selection of food on the menu, also has a specials board. Dining in bar area and also a restaurant and garden area. Friendly staff and good food.

Not much to choose from in Wisbech, but this shouldn’t be one of them. Powdery oven chips, greasy food. Don’t ask for the wine list; there isn’t one. Expensive for poorly presented average pub grub.

We had lunch for 2 in the bar today, one haddock and chips and one liver and bacon, accompanied by Elgood's bitter. It was all excellent, the portions were generous and the beer was good, if not a little warm. This place is something of...

Enjoyed quick and polite service for our roast beef and lamb with all the trimming followed by a couple of pints of Elgoods Smooth , this was our third visit and fully recommend this hostilary

We came for a Sunday Roast. Staff were really friendly and food was excellent. Loved the chocolate Pavlova for dessert. Great value for money, would definitely come again.

We arranged a reception at the Red Lion on Sunday the 22nd of August for our daughter’s christening , what a fantastic afternoon everyone had. Food and service excellent with very friendly staff and a great atmosphere.I would highly recommend.

Gorgeous home cooked food, really great choice, nice atmosphere, lovely staff . Would recommend for a home cooked meal

Covid friendly with tavle servic . Very welcoming. Nice beer and very good food. What else do you need ?

The food was of a very good standard, as was the service, and the surroundings were beautiful. The children’s meal was excellent and they even had special cutlery for the baby. There was also a little playground for the children. If you’re in the area...

I always arrange a trip to the Red Lion whilst I'm here visiting my mother in law. As always the food is super, with good service. Large portions & good range of choices. I only wish pubs in Kent could come close to providing a...

Lovely food, great customer service and great ambient outside. We had duck rolls as a starter. The duck was moist and the filo pastry was nice and crispy, presented with a garnish salad which was great. I had a sirloin medium rare and my partner...

We have been visiting The Red Lion for many years and have always been treated and served with friendliness,efficiency and total professionalism.An atmosphere and reputation created over many years of hard work and dedication by Maggie and her team.There is no better venue anywhere in...

A pub restaurant with many choices of pub food offering a special’s board…. Plenty of parking and local to the town…. Be aware of the times as you will be ousted out once you have had the meal, drink & paying.

We enjoyed our visit. Staff were lovely, kind and welcoming. Food portions were really generous and our meals were delicious! Loved it!

We decided to give this place a try after reading the reviews, and I am so pleased we did. The food was delicious and the choices vast. Something to suit everyone, I reckon. If not, you're faddy!
