Red Lion in Woking

We called in unannounced just for a drink. All tables outside were booked but Amanda had a solution. She and Monica conferred dragging a high bar table and two stools from inside. We became table 109 the newest table at the RL. Monica and Amanda worked their magic. Monica was like a conductor on the last night of the proms, directing here and there. Of course, we ordered food after watching such mouth-watering delights appear from the kitchen and singing along to Sultana. Thank you, Monica and team. Spot on.

Booked to take elderly mother out with family - great food great service -bravo to all concerned. Just the right balance of fine dining and relaxed atmosphere.

....was staying a night at the local Premier Inn and saw that its restaurant wasn't well reviewed....others had said come here instead...and so I did....what a great pub...good beer....and a Keralan monkfish and prawn curry which hit the spot....would definitely come again if in the area....

When I mentioned to the waitress it was our wedding anniversary she immediately offered us free Prosecco! As ever, the food was excellent - roast lamb & pork and the service most attentive with about 5 members of staff looking after us. Well done, once again!

Why do we keep coming back to the Red Lion? Because, every time (and we must have been 15-20 at least) it consistently delivers great food and great service. This June we put the Red Lion through its sternest test - no dinner for 4 or 6, this time we booked for 22 to celebrate our son's wedding, so a pretty important event for our family & close friends. I have to say I was a little apprehensive it could manage the same level of professionalism with a much larger crows but I needn't have worried. The Red Lion absolutely nailed it in every conceivable way. Thank you to all the team there for making a special day in our family really memorable. We'll be back shortly to add to our number of visits, we simply don't see the point of going elsewhere!

Took two friends as a treat. Service, as usual, slow but acceptable. One friend had the trout, the other liver and bacon and I had the hake. My friends meals were good except they put the trout on top of the chips which made them soggy. My lunch of hake was poor. The hake was dry, sitting on boiled potatoes which appeared over cooked. The samphire was good but that was all I had. The portion was to my mind inadequate. I was so hungry that I ordered some chips to fill me up. When I went to pay I was asked whether everything was ok and I told the manager about the hake and he said had nobody asked me if everything was ok and I said “no” as nobody had. Anyway, I was charged only half the price for the hake dish. Luckily as this was a treat for my guests, they had a good meal. I am getting reluctant to go to the Red Lion. My family have been disappointed before and don’t want to go again.

Food is excellent, really excellent . Lots of varied seating, very good service, good wine and overall, reasonably priced.

Prenotazione 20,30 alle 20,50 il manager in maniera molto maleducata ci dice prima che ha una prenotazione per 25 e non ci può gestire la nostra prenotazione poi ci dice che la sala non è pronta e alle 21 non ci fa entrare da evitare gente maleducata e poco professionale

Recently moved to horsell and already been here a few times! Lovely cocktails and even better food! Staff are brilliant too. Highly recommend

Fantastic Sunday dinner for all the family. Seven of us attended for Nana’s birthday and we had roast lamb or roast chicken or nut roast. All of the food was excellent quality. They came out with a big tray of vegetables which were particularly tasty and a good selection including red cabbage, giant Yorkshire puddings and lots of gravy too. You can have a starter and Main or a main and dessert as a set menu for a good value price. Specials had a dessert that had run out earlier in the evening, which was a little disappointing, but the disappointment was soon gone as I ordered the chocolate nemesis dessert which was fabulous. I will definitely be returning for Sunday roast in the future. Service was exceptionally good at all times.

The most amazing pub, Toby provided the best service answering any questions and queries provided!! I liked recommend the pub to anyone!!! LOVE

I had a lovely experience at the pub tonight. Toby was an excellent waiter and very prompt, made my experience.he provided amazing service and answered any questions we asked!!! Would recommend the pub to any friends, will be returning 100%

Toby was a great waiter. He was very helpful all night and a lovely smiley face to greet us. Even when my friend knocked his glasses, he didn’t mind and was happy to help.

I visited for lunch with my family at a midway point between us and this was our chosen venue. The menu was varied, the food was fabulous, the staff very pleasant and the atmosphere was great. It was extremely busy on the day which made for a little delay in service but that was to be expected. The manageress came over to apologise and say that our food would be with us very shortly, which it was. All in all, we very much enjoyed our lunch and hope to visit again soon.

Really lovely mother’s day meal. Delicious food. Exceptional, friendly service from Toby made the evening. Thank you

This was a second recommendation of a Chef friend of our Daughters and the second time of visiting. Given the number of patrons on each occasion we have visited, this shows both that it is very good and many people return again and again. A traditional Sunday Lunch was very good as were the alternatives to the traditional. The staff are friendly and work very hard to service customers. They all know what they are doing and 'think for themselves' when under pressure to ensure tables are served and empty ones made ready for the next set of customers

A really lovely evening, celebrating my husband’s birthday with our family. Food & service were faultless. 3 of us had the cod in coconut curry sauce & our daughter had the duck. Starters & desert were equally delicious. It’s nice to receive such good service, even a jug of water was bought to our table without us having to ask (& replenished when it had run out). Nice choice of wines too. It was very busy being a Saturday evening but this didn’t affect service levels at all. Nice to see it busy 😊 Thank you all.

Lovely meal here, I had Chicken schnitzel which was the best I’ve had and my wife had the fish and chips which was also really nice. Nice place and the service was very good we will definetly go back

The best ever - soho house outside of London! Callum and the team ensure service is 10000% and the food is second to none. Nowhere else id go for the best Sunday pub experience in the UK

Another outstanding meal at The Red Lion last Saturday. This place continues to go from strength to strength - if you’re after great food and service in a fantastic atmosphere then look no further. Warm and attention to detail is second to none and you always feel well looked after. Staff are not only clearly well trained but carefully selected to really represent the values of the business! We have been going for over 10 years and will continue whilst the standards are held to such an exceptional level. Thank you to everyone involved

Fantastic meal. The halibut curry was delicious along with my friends meal the duck leg gnocchi. My wife had the rump medallions which she said were cooked perfectly. The staff were very attentive and helpful. Moved to the bar for some drinks after and the bar staff were the same. Can't fault the food or staff and will definitely be returning.

I have been to the Red Lion perhaps 2-3 times a month over the last 8 years. I have often brought friends and family and on one occasion organised a meal for around 25 people. After this evening I will never go again and will tell everyone I know they should not go either. This is down to delay, inattentive serving staff, a shortage of serving staff (this is common and probably explains the inattentiveness). However, my particular concern was the behaviour of the general manager. I was told on the phone in a call after the meal that he is known as Tony G. We ordered our food and waited about 40 minutes and it had not come. During this period nobody came to our table to see if we would like another drink. The table behind us who arrived about 15 minutes after we did were served before us. We were subsequently told this was because what they ordered was quicker to cook than what we ordered. I went to speak to a manager and explained the situation then returned to my table. A few minutes later a man I subsequently was told was the general manager, Tony G, came to our table and said “YOU DID NOT ORDER YOUR FOOD FOURTY MINUTES AGO YOU ORDERED IT 30 MINUTES AGO”. My wife and I found his tone to be very rude and mildly aggressive. I was so upset I can only recall that he then said our food would be with us shortly. I am certain there was not a word of apology even though the manager I spoke to initially (not Tony G) said in a subsequent telephone call that a 30 minute delay was unacceptable. Rudeness and the slightest hint of aggressiveness is always unacceptable. My wife and I were so upset that we only ate half of our meals. The original manager I spoke to (not Tony G) was professional and polite although I was offered no discount. Not that a discount would have mattered. I shall never go to The Red Lion in Horsell again. May I recommend The Cricketers in Horsell and the Cricketers on the Green in Pirbright.

Main meals here are generally of a very good standard and don't disappoint, although it is the atmosphere and fire that generally lures me back. Today my friend and I opted for the lighter lunch menu and both were really disappointing. My soup bowl was hot but the soup itself, barely warm. I must say this seems to be common to a lot of pubs. The Atlantic Prawn sandwich I had was, to my taste, horrible! - and that is something I have never said before. To clarify, I am not a fan of savoury food with sweet accompaniment's - I am no great fan of Brioche buns with burgers for example - tho I will eat them when there isn't a choice, but in the case of the dressing for my sandwich it was both very sweet and peppery which overwhelmed the few prawns inside. Really, you wouldn't know what you were eating. My friend had similar remarks about the steak sandwich which was very chewy (and always is when we've been there) but it was the overpoweringly sweet relish that really lets it down. When I tried a bite I was convinced the whole thing had been prepared on a bed of sugar. My friend will eat anything and I wouldn't describe myself as picky but really, today, the relishes or dressings were poor and we both agreed we would have preferred none instead. They are in my opinion as cheap as cheap can be and that is generally why so much sugar is included. Finally, we sat at the table for a good 15 mins without it being cleared even though the server (not the cheeriest of people) went backwards and forwards past us several times - including to stoke the fire - but didn't glance at us, otherwise, I would have mentioned it directly to her, which would have been my preference, rather than post my comments here. So today, based on the fact I barely ate anything (I've just made myself a sandwich at home) my review has to be two stars :-(

First time we’ve had Christmas lunch out and definitely not disappointed. The staff as always were cheerful, quick and helpful, always with a smile. The lunch was delicious and I was so upset I couldn’t finish my superb trifle, just no room left Certainly recommend and they always come top with meals, the Christmas Day lunch was just fantastic

Visited for lunch over the Christmas period. Fully enjoyed my experience with the menu being a real pleasure. Special mention to the staff who were super helpful / accommodating and tentative. Would definitely recommend and will return in the future.

I recommend the food anytime but especially when quiz night is on or a special occasion as the boat gets pushed out big time! The gentleman who compairs the evening is brilliant the staff can't help enough food great a fantastic evening for you quiz...

Brilliant location, staff were excellent, friendly and professional. Food was one of the best roast dinners I have had in a very long time. Price and quality was absolutely spot on. Well done to all.

Thank you so much to all of the team at The Red Lion. We celebrated my daughters 21st Birthday in the barn and despite it being a rainy evening in late October the heaters meant it was cosy and nicely warm. The buffet menu was...

We stopped in for a light lunch and weren’t disappointed. The chicken, BLT sandwich with fries was delicious and way more than just a light bite. Instead of chips it could come with soup or a salad. Fantastic food, a great atmosphere and lovely staff....

Really good Saturday lunch, excellent food and service. My wife really enjoyed her pork t-bone steak, and my burger was so much better than the one I had in Prezzo a couple of weeks ago, and £2 cheaper. Staff were friendly, fun and competent. Highly...

Really lovely evening at the Red Lion! Attentive service, great food. Our waiter made sure we were looked after throughout - even suggesting wine pairings for our meal which was greatly appreciated and accurate! Despite the pub being busy the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable...

Lovely food and quick service. Friendly with my 7 months old baby too. Fish platter was delicious, only one point down is Pork chop quit chewy but still tasty .

Ein schönes Gastro-Pub in ruhiger Lage. Die Einrichtung ist einladend und gemütlich, eine gelungene Mischung aus traditionellen und modernen Elementen....

We visited as 2 couple's, what a fantastic pub, The staff whilst very busy were attentive and knowledgeable, the food was simply amazing. Calfes liver melted in the mouth. Our visit was absolutely awesome. Wish we lived nearer. I hope we can return someday ....

Fantastic again! Sunday roast beef, cooked to perfection served by brilliant well trained staff. Despite how busy they get the level of service or food quality never seems to faulty. Can’t recommend enough

Atmosphere very good. Staff well trained helpful and polite and most importantly the food is amazing and plenty of it. Not had a bad meal there yet as we have been so many times. Also tried there other restaurants and the quality is consistent across...

The swordfish steak special on the board last night had our names on it! It was sublime….accompanied by mussels, samphire in a lobster bisque it was a dream. So delicate yet punctuated by the most delicious tastes accompanied by a light fluffy potato cake/ I...

Waited ten minutes at the bar with multiple members of staff completely ignoring me before anyone showed me to my table. Asked for children's menus, standard menus were brought- asked for 3 childrens' ice-creams and one ice cream with three scoops was brought. Almost impossible...

Fabulous food and service. Flavoursome food and very well presented. Highly recommend for an evening meal.

A gathering of 14 friends from various parts of the country. I have eaten here many times before and the staff are friendly and efficient but it’s the food that is outstanding. There were 14 empty plates at the end of dinner. I cannot recommend...

Sunday evening, several roasts on offer. Food very good, especially the puddings. Service good but wine rather expensive.

We went for lunch when it was still outside dining only and luckily had a sunny albeit not too warm day. The food and service was fine as always although the menu hadn't changed - and never seems to either. Enjoyable nonetheless.

I would never normally order a roast when out but an amazing roast chicken. It didn’t disappoint as most pub roasts do. Great roast potatoes and Yorkshire’s. Pete made the beat salted caramel martini! Lovely atmosphere abs great staff.

This was our second visit to the pub since the pandemic started. The covid protocol on entry nicely adhered to however I have noticed the staff members do not clean their hands after collecting the dirty plates, glasses and cutleries from the tables. Many proceed to attend to the customers straight after.Something to address.The service was good but a touch slow. We had to wait good 15 mins for our two pints and asked twice about the whereabouts of our drinks. Overall the service was good, smiley and we will be back. One of our favourite local pubs.

Just enjoyed a first meal out for ages. Many thanks to Amanda, the chef and all the team for excellent service, especially for my wife whose numerous food allergies and intolerances were accommodated.

Very lovely outdoor garden, service was very friendly . Food was quite good. Price was ok for the location

This is such a fabulous place to have a meal or even pop in for a drink. They have a huge area outside that is covered and has heaters so great whilst in lockdown. There is also a large grass area with tables so plenty of space to sit outside. Inside is comfortable with sofas, chairs and ordinary tables and chairsFood is excellent. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. They even allow our knitting group to meet here and I’ve seen walking groups and other groups meet up. Can’t rate it highly enough and the prices are very reasonable for such high level of cuisine.

Excellent in all accounts. Great service, personal but not intrusive and excellent management. The food and cocktails are always great

This place continues to serve up above average pub grub . The small chain has evidently invested heavily in making the outdoor experience as comfortable as possible . A huge awning and effective heaters have been installed since the last visit . A covered and heated barn is also used . Today the English weather treated us to torrential downpours and fine sunshine . Covid compliance is of utmost importance . We arrived early and the tables began to fill up , it was busy but the waiting team are adept friendly and professional . The main menu has a good choice but in our opinion does not change often enough we are RLR ( red lion regular ) a worthwhile discount card , not accepted on weekends . There is a short daily specials choice .Food choice today was soup of the day ( x2 ) , cauliflower and thyme . This was a good sized bowl with plenty of bread ( no butter ) .The thyme was indiscernible and it was bordering on over seasoned . The other starter is the old favourite squid and prawn with spicy mayonnaise, this is a tasty dish but straight out of a packet . A small salad garnish accompanies .Main courses were also old favourites in bubble and squeak , one with ham and one with smoked salmon . A huge piece of quality ham laid on top of the potato mix was topped with two poached eggs , a smaller thinner piece of smoked salmon was the other , the eggs were perfectly cooked with a deep orange yolk . These were very good . Third main was a vegetarian Thai curry which was said to be nice by the diner but not much was consumed as she doesn’t eat much sadly . All washed down with some cider , a bottle of house red , two large Jameson’s and an aperol spritz . Prices are fair apart from the specials where they creep upward .Probably be inside next time and booking is now available on-line .Get there before the next lockdown .

From the moment we arrived, this was a fantastic experience. The first time we had been out since October and we weren't disappointed. Well set up to make us feel at ease in these strange Covid times, great food and superb staff. Did I mention the staff? They were fantastic. Thank you all.

The food was fantastic for the whole family. Excellent quality and value. The setting is lovely too with plenty of space between tables. Service was attentive and we felt really welcome. The covid measures in place made us feel really safe too. Good to see a good number of staff too. I can imagine it would be one of the costs to cut after a difficult year but not these guys. Couldn’t recommend enough (just worried about waiting lists if too many people know how good it is lol!)

We were served by Pete and he was so friendly and helpful. We love the red lion and he made the night amazing for us all. Pete deserves a big praise! Thanks for all your hard work in making our first pub night amazing!

Had such a lovely evening, highly recommend the sea bream! Loved the cocktails as well. Unfortunately my boyfriend didn’t enjoy the steak as much. Served by Zara who was so lovely and chatty :) Will defo visit again.

Simply the best and value for money take away for two courses Sunday roast. Thank you very much. We will be back.

Lovely outside dining area with cover and heaters. Great staff, friendly and helpful. Good choice of food and it's good.

Visited yesterday afternoon with 5 friends due to crazy covid times we had to eat outside. We were under a canopy with heaters & blankets. Wrapped up all cosy, the food was hot & tasty & the staff worked so hard, covering inside & outside. It was an experience we'll always remember, fun & different. Well done the Red Lion.

1st class food & service, I highly recommend the Red Lion & they have made it extremely safe for all their clients ....I will be pack as soon as lockdown is lifted again ...food is always amazing

Chosen purely from Tripadvisor reviews for family get together and we weren’t disappointed. Online booking very easy. Confirmed by email and SMS. Excellent service and COVID-19 precautions. Main courses generous and delicious. Dessert menu options didn’t appeal so we just had coffees. Very glad we came!

We booked a table very last minute for a lunch. Staff were hugely accommodating, food was delicious, everything felt safe as they could possibly make it and staff were delightful - looked like they actually enjoyed working here. Always helps with a nice, smiley and welcoming manager! We will be back

Never been here before, come with my partner and my god can I say wow the service was amazing, the food was incredible and to top it of the dessert was outstanding I will definitely be returning..... 100%

Visited our favourite pub for their first Saturday serving brunch. Food was amazing, service great and a lovely relaxed feel despite all the challenges they must be facing. Great way to start the weekend!

Although the menu is the same our reservation was for the bar area. Food and service was excellent. An error on our part was that we hadn’t ordered veg and realised when our main meals were delivered. The waitress organised veg quickly so our meal wasn’t affected at all. Signage was clear with regards to wearing masks, sanitising etc but yet the poor staff had to tell the majority of people to put their masks on. Sure they’re bored of that already! The staff seem to have adapted well to the new norm and way of working. Will definitely visit again.

Last min stop off great lunch menu and good service wonderful menu great choice suitable for vegetarians I’m pescatarian throughly enjoyed my quick bite A nice place to go for drinks with choice of food reasonable prices and staff friendly

Dining in the Red Lion is the same as being in a better than average restaurant as again we received excellent service and the meal was to a high standard. Take away the bar area and it could be a restaurant. The only area for reflection is the menu and it has not been changed for simply ages. Yes, what the kitchen produces is most enjoyable and high quality but the menu needs to be refreshed. That said this old menu is supplemented by an interesting array of specials for the day. So, all in all we had a great time at the Red Lion and will return again hopefully soon. Thanks to all for taking such care of the four of us.

A friend and I met at this pub because it was halfway between where we both live. Well, the food was lovely. Large portions. But the main reason we will visit again is because the young waitress, called Beau, she was an absolute delight to be served by. Genuine smile and nothing was too much trouble for her. The Red Lion, take note, the reason we will be returning is because our experience with the waiting staff. And the food. Would be nice if we were served by Beau next time too.

Had a lovely meal here to celebrate our anniversary. Natalie our waitress was excellent and the food we chose really tasty, interesting options and plenty to choose from if you like healthier options. Really nice vibe about the place and feel social distancing etc had been addressed well.

We came for a family meal and the food was excellent. Some interesting menu options along with more traditional favourites. We like fish, my fishcake was great and my friend had excellent sea bass. Children enjoyed their fish and chips and sticky toffee pudding!

Lamb was exceptional. Sea bass with brown rice delicious! Very good service. Prices 30% above a regular pub meal, but worthy on special occasions.

very good all round, level of service and quality of food tip - try the covered barn, alfresco with weather security!

I have been critical in the past as the Red Lion has not achieved the standards that Garry and Sandy aspire to. However, last Tuesday they achieved these standards and exceeded them with something to spare. I can’t remember when I was so satisfied and pleased with a meal. The warm duck salad was very good and the fish grill was out of this world. Pieces of different fish in a lobster sauce with saffron potatoes and black garlic aioli were sublime. I can’t praise it highly enough. Well done and thank you for a brilliant meal.

Fabulous as always. First time I’ve visited since lockdown and Callum and his staff have done brilliantly. Tables well spaced, waitress very polite and cheerful, lots of hand sanitizer, I felt very relaxed. The lunch was delicious. Highly recommended

We came in the second weekend after lock down was lifted and we were extremely anxious how the restaurant would adhere to the Covid restrictions. Fear not, this restaurant has knocked it out of the park, this is the GOLD standard. The food and cocktails were exemplary 10/10.The service was brilliant - there was one member of staff who was patient, very respectful of Covid (as was all the staff) and just seemed to go the extra mile - this was Jack. Go and support this restaurant - it was an absolute pleasure to be there.

Have been here a couple of times, the place can get very busy but once you are sat down you don't see any effect on service. Getting sat down sometimes is the problem, the table is not always ready, or the table we have booked is not sufficient for the number we booked it for, and then you see 2 people sat on a table big enough for 6. But always been sorted in the end and we have had a lovely time.The staff are also very friendly, the food is lovely, especially the salmon fish cakes! We keep coming back for the sunday roast in particular!

Had the most fantastic evening on Thursday to celebrate our son's 18th Birthday. For the first time in a long time, it felt like everything was 'normal'. The staff were superb, the environment the team have created is both safe and one that makes you feel like you are on holiday - we were outside and the weather was amazing which obviously helped... I can honestly say I don't think I've ever had a bad meal at this restaurant, it's our go to safe haven knowing we will come away having had a fabulous time. Well done for all your efforts during these very challenging times, we look forward to returning again very soon.

We went out on a Monday evening and sat in the garden. Tables were well spaced out and cleaned thoroughly as dinners left. I enjoyed the Mackerel pate followed by a very generous portion of liver and bacon.It was delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful.Great to get out again. Highly recommended

Went to Red Lion last night with some friends, we go quite often but last night was made even better by the service of a lovely young lady called Izzy. Food, drink and atmosphere was great. Cheers all will be back soon 🍻

So nice to dine out at the Red Lion yesterday evening and fortunately it was lovely and warm so we were all able to sit outside. The menu had not changed since the lock down (RL please note) and 3 of us had the Hanger Steak meal which was truly excellent. My wife had the Duck and again....magnificent. The outside areas soon got filled up with other local people and so there was a nice atmosphere. Inside the pub was very quiet. There were plenty of hand sanitizer dispensers available and we all used them. One point I will make was that the staff all used the rear entrance on a two way basis when it was marked as Exit Only for customers. The Waiters did also come a bit close to to diners but we know it is difficult I would also question if all the cutlery and glasses had been placed on the tables by a person using gloves. So all the food and table service was to the usual high standards and we will re-visit some time soon. Enjoy.....

Had dinner with my family.Menu is perfect,something for everyone,service was awesome and Monica was very warm and friendly.we had a lovely evening we will be back.sonia&rob

The Red Lion does not disappoint. Service is great. Even with a reduced menu there’s enough choice and daily specials. Food is lovely and always presented well.

Delicious Sunday lunch. The food was outstanding am- staff very attentive, great social distancing- highly recommend and will be back.

We visited on a Sunday evening very busy but it always is a testament as to how good this venue is. The service was friendly and efficient and the food excellent the roast beef very good quality and cooked well with a good selection of vegetables. Good value for money and well worth a visit.

We're relocating to the area so I ate here after a house viewing to see what the area has to offer. The Red Lion had very friendly staff and delicious food, much bigger than I initially though too. Wifi available as well which meant I could work a bit too. Will def be bad once we've made the move!

Surprisingly busy for a Thursday night, which shows how good the Red Lion is. Plenty of parking and very attentive service - I’d recommend booking a table in advance.Our meals of sea bream fillet and lamb tagine were tasty, although bulked out with a lot of beans and couscous respectively. Great selection of gins!

Awesome place..Awesome good..Awesome ambiences. Had a very good time with office colleagues and friends.

Great staff and food, atmosphphere. Great for just a drink or bar snack or full resturant experience. Lovely garden in the summer

We went to the red lion for the first time on Sunday 26 th jan, arrived to a very busy pub, but the tables were all clean, plenty of staff ready to help, all very polite.We had a table booked for 16:45 at 16:45 someone came to say the table was ready, we asked to order at the bar which was no problem. Great menu we chose the 2 courses for 20:50 with the roasts, the food and service were perfect.What a refreshing change to visit a busy pub on her Sunday that is so well organised. Well done to all at the red lion we will be back .

Having all met whilst living in Horsell (Many years ago!) this was an obvious venue for 6 couples to get-together for Lunch. Excellent Food and very friendly competent Service. Very Good value too - considering the food standard.

Have not been for a couple of months. We had a fabulous meal on Saturday. My husband had prawns and calamari. It was in a delicious crisp batter. I started with chilli crab and oh my it was wonderful. So fresh and tasty. We followed with belly pork which was delicious and rib eye steak. So many places cannot manage to serve up a hot steak. This was succulent, hot and tender. We shared the banoffee pudding which was tasty with an excellent chocolate sauce. Thank you Red Lion. Your staff are attentive and polite and the manager - Callum - is a great asset. Can’t wait to come back

Had dinner with some friends, meal was good, however after the meal we went through to the bar area and sat at the end of the bar. A member of staff then collected all of jackets from the back of seats and took them to the far end of the bar. Another group noticed this and informed us. One of our party went and got them back minus a few things from the pockets. Spoken to the management and his stance is the venue can not be held responsible for coats or jackets being removed from backs of seats. Really.!!!!

Perfect way to celebrate Christmas with family - faultless! Food was excellent with a great choice. Service was spot-on as well especially given how busy they were. Also given some very useful money-off vouchers which we will definitely use in the New Year!

We have enjoyed a great meal tonight at the Red Lion in Horsell - tonight was exceptional with the service from our gorgeous big hunky hurly burly waiter called Jared- he was so attentive and looked after us really well - thank you xxxxx

Lovely evening, fabulous food & service was excellent. Our waiter Jared was attentive & very helpful, lovely guy. I had the fish and chips, they were the best, the batter was fab, will definitely be back.

Regular diners given a makeshift table right next to the bar corridor. We booked giving plenty of advance notice, requesting our usual table. We arrived to find a small circular afterthought of a table cramped between the bar and another table. Really very disappointed, especially as it was our Christmas celebration with friends. We went to the Beijing where we got a fab quiet, spacious table, food was excellent. We'll struggle to stay regulars at Red Lion after this experience. Such a shame...

Four of us had lunch on Saturday and again this place provides a very interesting menu, a great selection of beers and wines, excelent service and all for a reasonable price. I had the steak pie and I have say I would order it again, truly superb. The Red Lion is very popular and so the recommendation is to book up as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

Occasionally, just occasionally, The Red Lion offers its regular customers a gastronomic evening with a theme. This month it was “game”. Of course, the food is always served with carefully chosen wines. There is cocktail beforehand and the most exquisite canapés. These themed evenings are very popular so much so that you need to book them up very quickly - normally within 24/48 hours of the notification going out.

Great place, nice atmosphere and friendly people. Will definitely go again with family for a good night out. Well done Red Lion. 5 stars from us.

Excellent service, friendly atmosphere, great food - who could ask for anything more. Great start to the weekend. thank you

Came on Sunday with family and friend for lunch ( my parents are RLR - red lion regulars 20% off not on Sunday) choices were Greek salads , soup and calves liver salad - all pretty good for starters . Mains were roast beef £2 extra , lamb , chicken and sea bass with plenty of veg . These were all good save for the awful Yorkshire pudding - please make your own .

Myself and my sister visited the red lion at the end of October on a Friday evening and had SUCH a good meal. Love the vibe here on a weekend and enjoy the fact that both the bar and restaurant always have a great atmosphere. We ordered from the specials, I had crab ravioli and my sister ordered duck. Both amazing meals and enjoyed the fact these dishes were a bit more off piste than the standard menu. We finished off with some cocktails from the bar which were also delicious. Staff were friendly and couldn’t do more for us even though it was clearly busy. Great evening all round!

Such a brilliant experience from start to finish. Great welcome in the bar where we had a cocktail each to start the evening. Attentive bar staff who are both professional and friendly. The food & service in the restaurant was superb. My girlfriend had the hake from the specials and I went for the burger, A real tester of any pub restaurant and it was superb. Food was prompt and the service was efficient without being overbearing. All in all, we would highly recommend for a special occasion!
