Red Lion in Stockport

Our local pub. We find ourselves there too often, but the service, food and drink means this isn't a big problem!

I was in the area visiting family. The red lion came highly recommended and didn't fail us. The food was lovely, and there was plenty of choice. From meeting us at the door, the staff were first class and attended our every need, and making a fuss over my 5 year old granddaughter. It got a little noisy at times, but you should expect this when it's such a busy pub. I'd never been before, but will certainly come again

Amazing as always, We go in and my wife has a gluten and onion intolerance. they are more than happy to help, and make alterations so she can eat. Many options for main and dessert for her, and everything is done fresh. She loves the fish and chips

Visiting cheedle, definitely visit the "Red Lion" Atmospheric relaxed daytime experience, fabulous deco, outside being renovated, don't be put off because the food is absolutely delicious. The Burger, - Best I have tasted to date,!! Service 5 star, parking available including designated disabled parking Looking for lunch, dinner or celebration , get together with friends, family this is the place, worth a visit !!

Excelente pub, Me ha gustado la variedad de comida, el ambiente y sus instalaciones. Lo que hemos comido todo muy bueno y rico.

£6.70 a pint of larger in the north is all you need to know

Turned up at the red lion this afternoon (soaked) with no reservation, the place was bustling and at full capacity. We are a family of three with a pram. The hostess kindly found us her last table outside. It was raining and we were offered blankets, nice touch. Our waitress was super welcoming and attentive. The Sunday roast was divine. Absolutely delicious, great quality produce and a lovely family vibe. We’ve just moved to Cheadle, think this may become our new local

Didn't have food .only a pint of coors.6 quid ....how much is the premium lager ????? .I think we're paying for a refurb in here

Food absolutely spot on service was excellent staff very attentive will definately eat herecagain

Expensive! £6.90 for a pint of Moretti. I pay less than that at football stadiums!

Great food served by super staff.

Staff were very friendly and attentive. Plus, the food was excellent. I would definitely recommend 👍 Was a Monday lunch, so quiet ish.

Oh my word - why is this place charging such prices in our village? Went out Friday evening for a walk round the village calling into a few pubs en route. The three we went into in the village centre all charged round the same price for the two drinks. Then we went into the red lion and were amazed to be charged an additional £3 for the same two drinks (£11.50 compared to around £8.50 elsewhere - this is 35% higher than the competition). All four pubs were of equally pleasant decor, the service was equally good, the drinks equally pleasant and refreshing. BUT the red lion, with its much higher prices, was, perhaps unsurprisingly, very quiet compared to its near competitors. As for ourselves, why would we ever bother to go back to the red lion when they offer nothing incremental other than higher prices. NONE IF US LIKES TO FEEL AS THOUGH WEVE BEEN RIPPED OFF.

Local Cheadle (Stockport) pub. Viewed by locals as a little pricey.

Great local pub! Lovely and super friendly staff, delicious food too :)

Not been in this pub for a long time, so thought we would give it a go. Absolutely gobsmacked at the price…. 2 pints and a packet of Crisps and a packet of peanuts £15.90. Far cheaper in the village pubs….i would skip this one. What a shame

1st time here, Amazing service, friendly staff. Food was 10 /10 enjoyed & coming back to have Sunday lunch.

Called in for a beer with a friend who hadn't seen for a while, £6.90 for a lager 😲 only had the one, obviously. Same product up the road in another bar £4.50. In no rush to call back

A very relaxing pub with a pleasant atmosphere. The staff are very helpful and accommodating and the food is good. A nice beer garden and plenty of parking spaces.

A group of us about twenty, had drinks and lunch Very nice food. Staff were very good 👍 One of the busy pubs . People spilling out on the side of the pub . It was sunny 😎.

Great music, friendly atmosphere, lovely staff , dog friendly , definitely recommend 👌

Everyone that works here is absolutely lovely, we always feel so welcome. And the food is incredible!

Great food, not sure if it's a pub or restaurant. Looks like a pub from the outside. £18.50 for a burger would imply otherwise, but it was very good. I would have happily ordered more drinks given the chance.

Best Sunday lunch I've had in years!

Booked last minute on Mother’s Day for lunch with a friend. Fantastic friendly service, cosy convivial atmosphere and delicious food. Absolutely recommend and will be back!

Good pint of Guinness and shows the rugby

Visited in a group of 7, 5 adults and two kids. Really kid friendly and very accommodating. Food excellent, drinks well looked after, top visit all round. Lady running the show clearly setting the standard, well done!

Absolutely fantastic roast dinners and even better service. We're so glad to have the Red Lion nearby. Best to book a table as they're always busy, but staff will always do their best to squeeze you in when they can. Best service for miles around and very family friendly. 👏👏👏

Amazing beef roast dinner. More than enough food, wonderfully cooked beef, Veltins on draft. Will be coming back.

The food here was great - high quality pub options done really well. There were a few decent vegetarian and vegan options and universally popular offerings on the kids menu. There were some good ales on tap and staff were very friendly and attentive. We hadn't even noticed this place before but will definitely be back!

Fantastic pub. Lucky to have this as my local.

This will be our new favourite stop on our way to Manchester Airport! Food was really really good - beef featherblade was divine! Kids menu too was really good and actually hope cooked food not just freezer stuff you get in other places. Good selection of drinks and service quick and attentive. Would recommend this place to anyone, both food and service were fabulous.

Was looking forward to meeting a friend here for lunch who had travelled from Wigan. Looked forward to the Thursday discount advertised and gluten free options for myself as a coeliac. How disappointing to be told the kitchen was shut 😳 we went to the Ashlea had a lovely gluten free meal there. It was busy and had lovely atmosphere. Wish the Red Lion had mentioned the kitchen was shut in their website ☹️

Food is lovely, drinks are over priced. Robinsons need to help pubs like this prosper. The pub offers many discounted times like happy hour, wine not Wednesday, reduced food cost days etc. While this is an attempt to draw persons in, I feel it would be better to have a flat rate across the board so everyone knows what they are getting in for. A pint of Coors is £4 during happy hour or £4.20 during wine not Wednesday but £5.60 at all other times.

Delicious food and really friendly service. We ate from the Christmas menu which had great options for vegetarians. The Mushroom, Leek and Tarragon pie was amazing. Kelly was efficient and super friendly, she even arranged for 'decaff' Eggnog Espresso Martinis. A lovely Christmas 🎄 night.

Great service and great food. We’ve used The Red Lion for a number of years and the food is always consistent in its quality. The service has always been good too but over the recent months it has been elevated to another level.

Was on night out with work mate's excellent pub atmosphere brill

1st in re lunch. Served straight away. Menue discussed, and food arrived in short time. With a smile xx

Great Sunday dinner with gluten free Yorkshire pudding.

Not been in here for years as don’t live in the area. Met a friend for tea and wow what a lovely atmosphere and the Christmas decorations are something out of a picture book. The food- the main event was the best, I had a club sandwich a dish that is well deservedly making a comeback on menus and this one did not disappoint, I actually think it’s the best one I’ve had. I will definitely be back for another and a Sunday dinner, what a lovely cosy place bit jealous of you Cheadle folk having this wonderful establishment in your village

Fantastic Sunday lunch with the family. Service and atmosphere is superb, food is excellent and a decent pint too. Highly recommend

Fantastic birthday lunch today for 13 family members. We had 3 with glutten and dairy intolerance and 1 with an onion intolerance and 2 children. Kelly could not have been more helpful in making sure she had the right food to the right people and the food was amazing. Thank you so much.

First time going to Red Lion for a Sunday roast and it did not disappoint! Absolutely loved the roast pork and the crackling. The staff were lovely. Highly recommend.

Recommend the Korean Chicken Burger !

To be honest we just had some chips to soak up post-football beer, but they were excellent, and it’s a fabulous pub.

I’ve been a few times on a Sunday and love the roast dinners. went tonight and had an amazing Korean burger and it was happy hour which at 8pm on a Friday was not expecting, so was a nice surprise. Fabulous service will definitely be back.

Fabulous Korean chicken burger, piping hot and delicious. Excellent service as always. The Sunday roasts are also fantastic

I ate here as part of a large party. We received exquisite service and the food was fantastic! I didn’t get her name but the waitress with the australian accent was a standout member of staff. The vegetarian and vegan options available on their three course menu all sounded superb. I had the leek and potato soup which tasted exactly how my mum has always made it, but came with warm cheese scones!! 😍 The bombay inspired cauliflower pie was sensational with a spicey gravy sauce. And to finish off a spectacular sticky toffee sponge which they kindly swapped the custard for ice cream for me 🤩

Just popped in for one singer on was very good

Really good Sunday roast. Great quality and big portions. The midweek menu is always lovely as well

Ok. Music a bit loud, probably to discourage conversation, when I arrived approx 6.45pm

Warm and welcoming for.both yourself and your dog. Very friendly staff and superb food and drinks Cracking fish and chips too!

Decent pub, good deals during the week on food and drink!

Our favourite local. And the food is delicious with probably the best Sunday roasts in south Manchester.

Solo gr8 food and musician good 10-10

Hadn't visited the Red Lion for a few years. The food was recommended by a friend so I decided to give it a go. There's plenty of parking in the pub car park and there is easy access for wheelchair users. It was Thursday night, the place was busy but not too noisy. We booked in advance and were seated immediately. The menu was relatively simple but with plenty of choice for all. I had the Caesar salad and my friend had the burger. The portion sizes were good and everything tasted great. I would definitely recommend and will be visiting again.

Lovely food, great service even when there was a wedding reception happening!

Great pub, good, beer , environment. What else you need

My wife and I visited The Red Lion on a Sunday to take advantage of the Sunday roasts. We live in the area and have been told previously how delicious they are and I have to say, the food didn't disappoint! I went for the beef roast and I love that cauliflower cheese comes as standard. My wife went for the vegetarian Wellington which was a really good portion and very tasty. I did find the waiting times for food was quite long, its a busy place and worth the wait but not really a place if you want a quick sitting. Still, I would definitely return as I want to try the "normal" menu as well.

Great service and amazing food lovely staff.

Nice relaxing beer garden ☺️☺️☺️☺️

Myself and hubby just love this pub we eat there regular we have just had the fish chips mushey peas abousoultly amazing the staff are all so friendly and fast service really nice Maria Anthony

Great food friendly atmosphere can sit in side or outside

Plenty of outside seating and has a car park. I didn't eat there just had a drink. The staff are very friendly, the beer is well kept and it is nicely decorated.

Nice pub, good drinks, they serve food. Big beer garden too

Excellent! No complaints. Friendly staff, great selection of beers and the food is also good. Always a pleasure coming here... especially when it's sunny drinking in the beer garden!

Great food better service. This is a local pub that excels in customer service. Highly recommended.

Great pub with lovely food and very welcoming staff.

This is a fantastic pub! The beer is great and the food is incredible. Try it and you won’t be disappointed. The staff and service is also exceptional. Cheadle is very lucky to have a pub of this quality. I’d say it’s the best pub I’ve ever been in to. Highly recommended

Thankfully I can give zero stars - because that’s what this joke of a pub deserves. Food hugely over priced - I think they think they’re in Manchester City centre or the botanist in Alderly Edge. And they are far far far from it. Big pretenders. Manager is throws her weight around , and knows jack about customer service. Too busy pretending to work. I’ve been going for years , never again , not that they need more customers now considering the price of their menu ! They can stay a float with a hand full. If you like over priced, frozen , oven cooked food , that takes 45 minutes with a side of foul faced management - then this is your joint. Avoid the king prawns if you do go - as they’re barley prawns and charge £9 for a pretentious portion that tastes like Iceland’s gino decampos line - (ginos are actually better).

So this place is just down the road from me and we went on a Sunday and it was packed. We sat outside, and the lady who served us put the outdoor heater on for us. Wasn't too cold, but the heater made it comfortable. Service was 5 star. The Sunday lunch came in good time, and it was delicious. The beef was tender and cooked perfectly. Everything was spot on. Well, worth a visit if you're in the area or passing by, but I'd book ahead as it gets really busy.

Great pub and the staff are super friendly 👌🏻

Friendly staff and food are delicious 😋

Amazing food, amazing staff what more could you want. We will be back again very soon. We were a family of 10 for Mother’s Day, the food was beautiful, the roast was 10/10. The children ate every last bit of their food which was pasta & garlic bread & flatbread pizza. The waitress who was Australian was brilliant. Thanks guys xx

Perfect service and delicious food for mother's Day Sunday lunch, thank you, we'll be back!

Great Sunday roast and excellent very attentive service. Delicious dessert

If you are not eating on a Sunday - be prepared to stand up at the bar. All tables set for diners even though only 20% occupied. Rather poor hospitality for those that just want a drink. It seemed to be too much trouble to eventually get a table. Bierra Moretti at £5.80 per pint. I wouldn't mind if it tasted great and I suggest lines are cleaned more often. First pint of the day and it was poor and I know what it should taste like from years of experience. Moretti in James Watts is spot on and £4.80 per pint - no brainer. Red Lion must try harder and accommodate all customers.

Manageress fitted us in at short notice table for 2 on a busy Sunday. Food came on time and was spot on. Music snd overall atmosphere were great. Keep it up red Lion

Very different to last visit some 2yrs ago. I'm pleased to say the food is a dream compared to before . Service is pleasant with no faffing about. Atmosphere nice homely and warm. Mind the step!

Really good Sunday lunch. And really genuinely friendly welcome.

Lovely little pub. The food was amazing and the staff were just as amazing.

Excellent Sunday roast and such a friendly atmosphere ..

Food excellent, staff very friendly, lovely place. Would definitely recommend.

Fab pub, great service and excellent food.

The food here is fab and the pies are amazing! Really great service and an all round great pub.

Very welcoming, cosy feeling, very good service and friendly staff. Food to a high standard at reasonable prices and also have a children's menu.

Staff incredibly nice, didn't eat so can't comment on that. Lovely pub with a nice atmosphere

Great vegan roast... although could do with some green veg on it 🙂

Great pub with the friendliest staff. Food always tasty. Good selection of all drinks. Highly recommend

Delicious food with great customer service. Choice for Sunday lunch was very good and so was pudding! Great atmosphere for a family meal and there parking.

Been meaning to try the food here as heard good things, finally got rotund to it and did not disappoint. Had the burger and high quality, cooked great. Not greasy. Staff are always friendly in here. Definitely be back again.

Went here for Christmas lunch. I had Pate to start and the Christmas Burger for main. It was spot on and the staff were very welcoming. Pub has a lovely feel to it and I would certainly return. Many thanks guys

What a great pub, food is amazing and the staff are always welcoming.

Best Sunday lunch in a pub this year

Very nice friendly people the food was amazing the only thing I would say is it took along time between courses I'd definitely go back

This pub really deserves to succeed, been for lunch a couple of times and everything about the place is truly enjoyable: lovely staff with a nothing is too much trouble take on life, great Unicorn bitter , tasty coffee, great food and a friendly atmosphere especially when the real log fires are burning. Go for a walk around Abney Hall park first and enjoy your treat afterwards.

Lovely staff Lovely food Had an enjoyable night..

Just a fantastic pub! The beer is great and the food is incredible.

We went last Sunday for Sunday lunch it was my mother in laws 94th birthday. The Food was fantastic. The staff were very attentive.We are definitely going back.
