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.

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.

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.

The place was packed. Fantastic service by all the friendly staff, food as always is amazing, you just can't beat the Lasagne, has to be the best in town. As for the negative Nellie's out there regarding social distancing, there is more than enough room, and now extra tables on the patio so if you feel vulnerable there are 2 choices... dont go out or sit outside.

The Woodmans Cotagelocation-icon90 High RoadBritish

having not been to the Woodmans for quite some time to eat, but many times to drink. Our “eating” experience was very disappointing from ordering the food to having it delivered to the table. The appearance alone followed by the flavour pallet was absolutely awful. To start the garlic bread was served on sourdough bread, the cheese overcooked and burnt & because it was served on sourdough bread, the flavour pallet was totally an utterly incompatible with the “garlic bread” Now referring to the visual impact of the garlic bread, once placed upon the plate and delivered the table. It resembled something that my dog would excrete after a really rather large meal & was totally & utterly un pleasing to the eye & smelt revolting. We now turn to the main course, my wife ordered Hunters chicken and again the visual impact on the plate was equally as bad as the garlic bread. It looked like something My daughter would’ve excreted in her nappy. When she was a baby the chicken breast was soggy. the bacon was overcooked & burnt, the sauce was bitter and the oval appearance was absolutely disgusting. My wife had one mouthful and that was enough I had the gammon which because it was so dry and overcooked the chef had to soak & smother it in maple syrup to give it a modicum of moisture, the texture and flavour, was utterly revolting. Upon requesting to speak to the Owner, who was in the bar & making himself very obvious to other customers, & also seeing the chef pop out & looking in our direction, I then requested to the server that I may speak to the Owner or the chef to discuss these matters, but neither of them had the courage to come and speak to me in regards to the above matters & I speak from a point of view of being the son of an Owner of a very successful pub for some 25 years, they didn’t have the courage of the convictions to come & speak to a customer about the revolting & disgusting food that they placed in front of us. Also to add insult to injury, they had the total and utter audacity to want to charge us for this revolting assault on our culinary and visual senses. The only plus point of the evening was the servicing staff, I can’t say that of the management they’re just cowardly, but the serving staff were utterly professional. Very kind, warm and welcoming.
