What a wonderful pub, called in today as I heard food was being launched. What a meal! Kudos to the chef Owen, absolutely beautiful food homemade with lots of love! Ordered the lasagne and it was absolutely fantastic. Josh and Baron greeted us on arrival which was great. Thankyou for an amazing afternoon and I highly recommend the Brooklyn lager !

I found the Red Lion on a recent trip to Malvern. I got into the habit of having a couple of pints there each evening during my four day visit. Lovely old pub with a friendly owner who has recently taken over and was busy redecorating. Two very good cask ales on offer. Very friendly pub dog. Definitely worth a visit if ever in Malvern

Came to see Josh when I found out he was taking over this place. Been to all his pubs and watched him turn every single one of them around. What a gem this one will be Josh! Lovely atmosphere and great location! Some nice beers on the bar too. Lovely and clean and nice toilets! Had a freshly made cob and a couple of pints in the sunshine. I look forward to seeing the Joshy stamp on this one. Think Baron has found his castle here too! Keep up the good work Josh. You will smash it as you always do.

What a beautiful little pub in a beautiful place 😍 We came for a few drinks and sat in the garden. Just been taken over by Josh and he is slowly building the business back up. No hot food served yet but had beautiful fresh Rolls made to order which went down a treat! Lovely and clean and a very friendly atmosphere. Josh, when you work your magic on this place it will be full to the rafters!!! Definitely one to keep an eye on! Oh and Baron the Dog is adorable ♥️♥️ We look forward to seeing you take this pub to the next level. We will definitely be back.

Very nice bathrooms, outside sitting area to front very nice too, food just awful sadly. Only rolls on offer, which was a shame but we went with it. My daughter's originally was just a day old dry bun with one slice of cheese, they did at least swap it to a nicer bun with one slice of cheese. Served on plastic kiddies plates, not like all the photos I see on other people's reviews. Paid £35.80 for 5 drinks and 5 sad little rolls and 3 bags of crisps. Man at the bar very lovely. Dog friendly.

I've been to this pub several times since it has got new ownership and each time I have left severely disappointed. I have given it a fair try each time but rude staff, refusal to serve you unless you are a "regular" who are allowed to stay for lock ins whilst everyone else is turfed out before the pub closes and charging on entry for live music for a local pub is obscene. The attitude of staff when even just asking for water was appalling, and needs a severe shake up. Cant comment on the food, but with wetherspoons down the road I doubt many are eating there anyways. Won't be going back anytime soon.

We went to the Lion on Wednesday night by off chance. They had an ‘open mic night’ on which can be dodgy but we gave it chance. It was superb! Each different act were really good and they played the audience brilliantly. We ordered pizza and garlic bread which was as good as any we have eaten anywhere. Great atmosphere and service. We decided to go back tonight and order from the menu. We are ‘foodies’ and very critical. We had a chilli con carne and a cheese/ bacon burger with all the bits. Again, superb! Atmosphere, superb! Service, superb! Value for money, superb! Live band on with a good following. We left very contented and are eager to return soon. Would have stayed all evening but heading home tomorrow. Well done to the publican and all the staff. They certainly got it right there, look it up folks

I have to say for a small quaint pub, we just wandered into, everything about this place was great! We were really welcomed by the staff, even though they were so busy. We took 2 dogs & they were made a real fuss of, with treats & water. We had a great meal, I am gluten free & my partner has an egg allergy, the lady serving us was so helpful in ensuring our meals were right for us & it was delicious. The chef even came out to check we were happy & gave us take away boxes as we just couldn't finish the great portions. I cannot rate this place highly enough, and i look forward to returning.

Well the Red Lion was a real find for us. Cheap paid parking close by with plenty of space at 1.30pm on a Saturday. Outside seating available. What was a very good start was every member of staff said hello as we walked in. Good selection of reasonably priced drinks. Food was excellent, one of the best burger and chips I've had in a while although the extra toppings were a little expensive. Good reports of the pizza and fish and chips. All non greasy, fresh, mostly prepared on site it would seem, cooked to perfection, hot and all served together. Both the manager and chef came to check on the food as we ate. Well done.

5 of us. 3 had Beef Lasagne, and thought their portions rather too big, and never left a scrap! My wife didn't eat the bone if her lamb shank, but if she could have, she would have. My 'special' steak and ale pie was exactly right, great to have a proper pie with a base. It seemed busy for a midweek evening, yet the 2 barstaff handled it easily. (I've done that job, I was impressed.) So, great unpretentious pub food, with friendly and well-timed service.

Having just got home from a holiday in Italy we fancied a final evening out but our local was fully booked. The Lion was second choice as it is not walkable for us. Very buzzy atmosphere, good pub food and , best of all, the most excellent service, from a young woman who seemed to do everything front of house and still have time to chat, quite up to anything we had abroad.
