Red Lion in Bolton

Nice food and drink and good value. The millionaire cheesecake went down particularly well. Rachel our server was very friendly. We would come again.

Told 30 min wait for food but food took 80 min to come and then was only warm

Brilliant breakfast and large potato of tea. Super value and service.

The food was delicious and the prices are very reasonable. The staff members were very attentive especially Kevin who ensured everything was in order with our meals. I would highly recommend.

Came here for tea and our server Kevin was top! Really took care of us

Nice pub with a nice choice of snacks and meals.

We visited hear last night food was really nice apart from one member of staff who was rude and didn't give us what we ordered so when he was approached it was like a big effort to get the order right with no apology we was sat at a table that was for someone else when approached the staff was not bothered I understand that it was busy but there was no need for some of the staff to be rude

The service was horrendous the guy at the bar had bad attitude I ordered a millionair chocolate brownie and he said he will order me a kids one as it's cheaper but there was no children with us and I said I wanted a brownie so order the children's one that I didn't want it. I recommend the food but the service is bad .

It's an average spot that doesn’t quite live up to its potential. While the pub has a traditional look, the atmosphere can feel a bit dull, especially during quieter times. The menu is fairly standard, offering typical pub grub like fish and chips and pies, but the food can be hit or miss. Some dishes, like the Sunday roast, are decent, but others feel a bit bland and uninspired. Service at The Red Lion is also inconsistent. While some staff members are friendly, others seem less enthusiastic, and waiting times for food can drag, even when the pub isn’t particularly busy. Drinks are reasonably priced, but the selection is nothing special – just the usual beers and spirits you’d expect at any pub. The outdoor seating area is a plus for those looking to enjoy a drink in the sun, but the interior could use a refresh, as it feels a bit tired and worn. Overall, The Red Lion Pub is fine if you’re in the area and need a quick bite or drink, but it’s not somewhere worth going out of your way for. There are better options nearby.

Lewis & john was fantastic, so was all members of staff. All 14 of us loved the food and great customer service. Thankyou everyone 😁

The food was lovely, the dessert was also! Even though the horseshoe donut was out of stock! However our server Lewis recommended when I can find it in stock and be able to try it! He was very attentive and friendly and went above ablnd beyond to make our dining experience 5 star! Thank you Lewis!

Very quiet, food is average and it needs a refurb..paint peeling, walls are stained with drink spills and stained chairs

The food was really good, the wait time wasn't too long. I think it's good value for money. Staff were lovely! The portions were quite big took some of those sliders home. 4 stars for the atmosphere because the place (especially the ceiling) needs some TLC.

Great place to have food and drinks, cheap and cheerful and the staff are very friendly only drawback is there is no sky sport's on anymore.

Free parking. The pub felt a bit dated, but we wasn’t there for the decor The food was ok, but nothing to shout home about.

Friendly Staff, Roast Beef dinner was hot and tasty ! Gr8 value including Pint of Strongbow.

Unwelcoming visit staff stood talking to eachother while waiting to be seated to be told just sit where you want.... Ordered though the app seating looked scruffy and my arm stuck to the table... Food was terrible at best both dinners mine was dried out and the chips you could tell just come out the freezer so they get left... Meat was dried out and the sausages didn't even taste like sausage.... I've eaten some rubbish over the year but today's visit is probably the worst food ever ever paid for

Excellent roast beef lunch. Superb value for money.

Excellent roast beef Sunday roast for the price

Great food friendly staff and value for money .

Food once it came right was standard. Multiple food orders came incorrect. Beer did not taste good. There was a constant smell of cigarette smoke. Yes this is a pub but it's also a family "restaurant". A hair wash found in one of the children's ice-cream before was given to the child. One child was given half frozen half cooked corn on the cob. I definitely will not be going back in a hurry.

Came in today for breakfast. All staff warm and friendly. Food was cooked perfect by chef who I was told is darren. Thank you will be back.

Really enjoyed our visit today, John made us feel very welcome and was very friendly. The lady that brought our food was very smiley and helpful. Food was delicious

Great service from John and the team, warm and friendly environment.

Great breakfast snd service .... very friendly staff! ... thanks John!

Came here with my partner, son and mother in law on 05/09/24 and had a really good time. My son really enjoyed the wacky play on a tots pass and it was clean and well organised. After softplay we went across to the main pub for our meals. The food was hot and tasty and came exactly as ordered even with special requests. The staff were friendly and accommodating. Overall, it was a lovely experience and we look forward to next time!

Thank you for a lovely experience for our residents to enjoy a pub lunch; we were very looked after by the staff.

Food was decent and at the right price. Staff welcoming and friendly worth a visit

Went for an 18th Birthday for around 30 of us and the food came out all fresh and hot and was really nice. 👌 would like to say a special thanks to Neil and the other server and the Barman who made sure everything was spot on. Thanks 😊

John was amazing, food was great as always , prices are reasonable. Consistently good food and service. Fab pub.

kevin’s service was really good and quick. He was very polite and helpful . I ordered the fish n chips and it was hot and very tasty . I would definitely recommend the Red Lion as a place to eat for the whole family..

Excellent service by Kevin tonight. Very good value for money.

I took my mother in law out for lunch , lovely place been before always been happy, staff very welcoming but not over baring, very clean place and spacious, full marks for staff so nice , had fish and chips rather disappointed felt the fish was over cooked , chips was alright mushy peas where perfect , yeah the fish was dry inside more crumbling texture then flaking, may of just been a one off and would definatly go again as normally I do not have any complaints, food normally really good, I would say next time I go I will try their burgers seen a few people eating them and they looked amazing and good value for money

Food was great, service from lisa was perfect really helpful, Had our child with us, Lisa came over with colouring pens and sheets and gave him a teady bear and his face had a big smile really impressed.

Came in for food with family lovely staff Lisa was very nice and helpful

Came in the other day for a family meal, the food was great and Lisa our waitress was so lovely and friendly, will be coming back again soon!

Enjoyed the meal after a couple of hiccups, but some of the staff were less than welcoming, even though I had booked a table Table staff good and friendly

Food was delicious and served by excellent staff. Unfortunately the person serving behind the bar needs to go on a training course to improve her attitude to customer service.

Decent place to be. Has a pool table and is quite clean. Staff are friendly

Top quality food and excellent service

Had lovely evening with kiss celebrations for GCSES and git severed off lady called Lisa ❤️ defo be back thanks to the team for great service 😀

The food here is okay, the wacky warehouse is filthy and was overpriced. The service was a let down - get your own cutlery, sauces and make your way to your own table - not something I'm a massive fan of. The food was alright and what you would expect from the chain.

Lovely food. There was a little hiccup with our order and a lovely member of staff named Lisa rectified the problem. She was very attentive without being overbearing. There should be more Lisa's around.

Lisa was lovely extremely welcoming and provided amazing service. Had a lovely time and food was delicious! Thank you soo much

Service was lovely and quick, food was excellent Our waitress Lisa was welcoming and made the experience better

Nice place lovely staff food good but not great

Very enjoyable experience food very hot friendly staff

Booked a table for 6 people, The table we had Booked had been give to someone else, The member of staff just shrugged and said pick another one, told a 40 minute wait for food, She was on her own. Serving drinks food orders and complaints. ! Some of the food was burnt, mine was Luke warm. !!!

Food was soso, however, the young girl clearing up, Caitlin I believe her name is, was exceptional, what a lovely and well mannered young lady. An asset to the place. Thank you 😊

Went to catch up with a friend, very friendly staff and a good pint. Would recommend.

Decent menu. Friendly staff. Plenty of parking.

Lovely food! Called in for breakfast the morning after the England match, bonus being it was dead and we got served quick. Staff on were lovely and that first coffee was amazing. Ps, we didn't watch the football so this wasn't a hangover breakfast. Steak and eggs was awesome but PLEASE ask about the piri piri sauce and don't just put it all over a steak. I had to wipe it off as it potentially spoiled the meal, but u salvaged it! Yum 😋

Watching England V Spain Euro final, atmosphere great, food was great, drinks perfect, tifle baked alaska desert was top notch, sat with dodgy wearing red tops though 🤣🤣 but all is good, cmon England or i'm going home ! 🇪🇸🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Food is good but the restaurant is desperately in need of a revamp,its tired. Nice welcome on arrival and shown to our table, service was good, friendly and food was piping hot on arrival

Went for a birthday get together middle of October 2016 with friends and their children. Great experience. Food hot and tasty and very affordable. Staff were friendly and genuinely seemed to care about us. We all liked the new refurbishment. Much cleaner environment and the TVs with disney movies were a hit with the children! This isn't an expensive restaurant, it's a cheap to mid range menu yet we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thanks to all the staff for making my celebration so great!

Simon there was very attentive and a great server. all the rest of the staff who served our meals where very helpful

Atmosphere could not of been any better the food was amazing

Excellent service Simon well done

Simon was a great host. Helped me clean up after my daughter nothing was too much for the staff

The food was great, much better than when I visited a few years ago and the staff were very nice, the only thing this place needs to be a great place to eat is remodeling inside, it feels very cramped and half built.

We really enjoyed the excellent food. We complimented this and was told the cheif was Tina. Large potions and steak cooked to perfection. We would also like to praise the very helpful and friendly barstaff Daniel. We look forward to returning.

Wasnt as Good as it used to be.my friend was got a diet coke it tasted like cleaning fluid im it and when looking at the glass was dirty not washed or rinsed properly. Food okay,

Simon behind the bar was friendly and helpful, bring drinks to the table. A very pleasant barman

Food was top notch, service brilliant & has a wacky warehouse attached for my son to go play.

Simon is a great guy. fantastic service and friendly

Just call in for a few drinks with friends, and was served by a friend guy called john, who was so fun and made our evening so relaxed and so good will definitely call again.

Fantastic service, John the team leader was extremely helpful and pleasant and made the whole visit a great experience!

Simon was a great barman. Went above and beyond making sure we ordered the food we wanted. He inputed a lot of our clubcard vouchers with not so much as a moan. He deserves the recognition.

Simon was bloody lovely. Top fella

Myself and my daughter had tea. Neil and staff went above and beyond to make our tea perfect. I had the fish and chips which was a large potion and absolutely gorgeous, my LD also loved her children nuggets. Will definitely come back

Good food friendly manager and staff

Went tonight with my two boys . Ordered the BOGOF deal on the burgers . The food arrived piping hot and all the food was excellent . Really enjoyed our evening ..
