Red Lion in Flintshire

Stopped in for breakfast, food and service was very nice . Only slight issue was old hard rock music playing .... not the best choice for a relaxing Sunday morning I will be back again when in the area and try the Sunday roast next time 🎉

Basic menu, staff were pleasent

Nice relaxing atmosphere, very friendly staff, food excellent. I went for the 3 meat roast and the wife had the pork roast, we also shared a side of cauliflower cheese. Although feeling full at the end of the dinner we still had room for desert of apple Betty, which was lovely. It was nice to eat the meal without getting asked every 5 minutes if everything was alright, when we asked for extra drinks they came and served us quickly. Would recommend a visit and we will be going back

Great now that it's had some tlc. Been here on a few occasions for a pint or two and very satisfied.

Great Sunday roast and selection of drinks. The renovation is great!

Nice pub. Shame food isn't served a little later into evening.

Well cooked, fresh food, served piping hot, service was excellent, carried out with smiles

If I could, I'd give it 6 stars. But I can't, so 5 will have to do!

recently under new management the staff are very warm and welcoming excellent food and service would highly recommend

Called in for some drinks and to watch live sports and cosy fire as described but no fires lit and all tvs off no live sports available, Shame as not as described as they say on their forum

Out standing all round, I would recommend it for beautiful delicious food, staff amazing

No sports what so ever tv not even on. When asked for sport they said none available. Even tho advertise live sports and sports bar. Travelled there with friends for drinks and two watch football match.

Not been there yet but only hearing positive views

We had a absolutely lovely Sunday roast here, the food was delicious & the service was second to none. I must say the atmosphere here has vastly improved since it reopened, it's cozy and there's a lovely vibe. Would definitely recommend & will be back very soon. Many thanks to the team

I haven't been to this pub for food in a long long time as it was dreadful. 8 of us went yesterday - omg what a transformation - the food was some of the best I've had for a long time - 4 of us had steak - all cooked absolutely perfectly, my fish pie was amazing. Service impeccable from all - highly recommend and will be back very soon. Thank you Team Red Lion x

What a transformation this pub has achieved now has a lovely atmosphere in a comfortable stylish environment.food we all had was excellent everyone enjoyed with zero dislikes. Beef randang curry was exceptional beautiful beef and super flavour..burgers and the fish were good and the fish pie was very tasty. Good selection of beers …neck oil ipa was good. Wine especially the Malbec was good value. Bar service from Dean was excellent efficient and friendly…waitresses were also really pleasant ladies who did a great job job. This venue is now one to try again it’s unrecognisable from its earlier years and the use of the front of pub area has been an inspired change that has transformed the atmosphere.

Beautiful Sunday lunch, great service, would definitely recommend.. We've been before & always had a great experience, we'll be back!! The sticky toffee pudding is delicious too

Great Sunday roast, staff are lovely and friendly, great service

I have been to the Red Lion for breakfast a few times since it re-opened, with my adult son who has Autism and can heartily recommend it. He finds the atmosphere and ambience suits him, he is unable to function in some venues. Yesterday I went there for lunch with my daughter. The steak burger was honestly the best I have ever had, the coleslaw was delicious and even the chips were amazing. I love the calming atmosphere at the Red Lion and the comfy chairs. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The fire was lit which made it even cosier than ever. On a practical side there is a large car park and a variety of seating areas inside. Give it a try you won't be disappointed.

Loved my first visit here certainly will not be my last one of many ,my lasangna wax fab ,

First time we had been in for a few years for our yearly works do and we were all very impressed with the place. Great atmosphere and was nice to see a decent place being busy. Food was great and overall a fab night for our works do. Thank you

The Red Lion was the venue for my late fathers wake at the end of March and all I can say is a big thank you to the staff and Landlords who made the afternoon so enjoyable even though it was a wake. Food was great and bar was staffed appropriately. We have also had evenings meals there and also sampled the breakfasts and we weren't disappointed.

Huge portions and friendly, attentive service. Great fish and chips, a chorizo pasta, and fish pie

We all 3 of us had marvellous hearty main meals priced very reasonably, in front of a lovely log fire. Our dog was made to feel extremely welcome!

Service good . Food didn’t leave much to be desired. Some much better places to go locally. Won’t be returning in a hurry

Called for a table for lunch. When we got there greeted by lovely friendly staff. Ordered our drinks and food. While waiting my sugars dropped dramatically. I informed Kerry the lovely owner. She got me an orange juice and a biscuit. Came back over to see if I was ok. Food arrived after only a short wait. Lovely food. Very busy in there but still very impressed with Team Red Lion we will be back 10/10 merry Christmas all

What an outstanding place atmosphere was great. The owner and staff were really friendly. Food was the best we have had in a long time in a restaurant, there is plenty of choice and reasonably priced. Had the king prawn linguine looking forward to going back and trying their breakfast. There are plenty of free parking spaces available.

Wow... The food/atmosphere & service were top notch, great sized meal at a very reasonable price.. Cozy setting. Will definitely return.. It's a thumbs up from us 👍🏻

Fantastic Venue. Fantastic service. Friendly environment. Very wholesome environment. Bar manager was very welcoming and staff were very much on point. 100% recommend

We had a wonderful evening here...the food, the staff and overall service was outstanding. I would highly recommend, every aspect of our night was amazing...well done to all of the staff 👏.

Absolutely love this pub/restaurant. The atmosphere is really good, the staff are the friendliest my son and I have met in a long time. I really can't fault anything. If anything doesn't feel right the staff will do whatever has to be done to resolve it. We highly recommend the whole experience to everyone 🌹 💖

Our cricket team Christmas meal at the Red Lion in Northop 18 of us attended It was a very nice Christmas meal with all the trimmings at a reasonable price. Friendly staff, clean and warm pub. Will definitely return.

Just been here with my ladies cricket team. Excellent food and service. I would highly recommend a visit here

Just got back from being out with my Northop Cricket Club ladies team for our Christmas meal. Couldn’t fault the service or food which were both excellent. There were 17 of us and all meals came out together and were piping hot. I would definitely recommend.

The new owners are doing a great job. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Food was very good, price was too. Will be back and highly recommend the red lion

Very long wait for average food

Haven't been here for a number if years. Really impressed with the new decor and feel. We visited today and had breakfast. Fab food. Great friendly service and value for money. Will be back for a week day visit ... thank you

Much much much better than the last time I visited, the new owners have done a great job

Warm and inviting good food and service nice and clean would recommend it 2 anybody

Lovely place recently reopened with great new owners food very tasty and well priced. Had the rib eye steak which is excellent. Likewise the pie. Drinks very reasonable priced Sticky toffee pudding wasn’t very good Overall very nice and well deserved to succeed

We called a few weeks ago after our hair cut in Flint, never been before. Lovely welcome, staff were very pleasant, food was delicious & the place was very clean. We will definitely call again. Thank you to all the staff for your warm welcome. Keep up the good work 👍

Very welcoming staff and enjoyed visiting. Vegetarian choice was non existent which was a shame.

Excellent service and very good value for money.

A catch up with old friends, what a lovely place, beautifully decorated, gives such a nice atmosphere. Food was nice, especially the Black Pudding starter with home made Hash brown. I had the King Prawn and Crab Linguine, loveley fresh Pasta and Seafood . Everyone else enjoyed their meals, Steak pie, and Chicken Kiev especially, all fresh ingredients. Desserts we're delicious, and a good variety. Service is spot on, staff work hard to provide a friendly attentive service. We are meeting up again before Christmas so looking forward already. Highly recommend the Red Lion x

Excellent ham sandwich and pint of Guinness. Very friendly staff.

Visited recently as we had heard good things about the new owners and we were not at all disappointed. From the warm welcome, the hot tasty food and the comfortable surroundings it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Reasonably priced as well. We shall definitely be returning.

From the outside, it looked very promising. We entered the restraunt side of the pub. It was like a big open space, with a few tables and a bar put in it. Unfortunately, there was very little atmosphere due to the size of the place. The service we received was very good and the staff were very pleasant. The menu was Sunday roast only. As we were waiting to be seated, they informed us that all the Turkey had gone, we did contemplate leaving as my partner normally only has Turkey. If she has any other meat, it has to be well done because, as a qualified chef and a teacher of food hygiene, she believes all meats should be cooked well through as a lot of people don't like red colour in their meat. The dinners arrived, I had chosen the pork and she the beef. My pork was cooked, but I think it could have been done with a bit longer, but I carried on eating it. When my partner went to cut hers, she looked at it and said, " I can't eat that", it was done rare, which I like. Overall service was very good, the rest a disappointment.

First time there loved the place Very pleasant staff .Would visit again

This pub has recently changed hands and being only about a mile from home we thought we'd give it a try. We booked for a Wednesday night which we discovered is quiz night. We arrived and parked, there is ample parking in front of the pub. We were asked on arrival if we were going to take part in the quiz when I said no we were shown to a table in a quieter area. The menu was basic pub food with a few nice additions, after ordering the food arrived quickly and was well cooked and presented. My two niggles and the reason the pub didn't score higher is that the area we were seated in was a bit chilly and the total lack of draught beer with only w Worthington smooth flow and Guinness on keg

Went on opening night for private function. Food was great

Go there - it is magnificent! Already booked for Christmas!

Excellent food and service, highly recommended

Brilliant atmosphere and they show the football

Very friendly staff and great food

Super polite and friendly service. Definitely go for the Hot pot and picked red cabbage.......AMAZING!!!! Can't fault it. Thanks guys

Perfect for a beautiful sandwich an a drink in the afternoon , staff an chef an manager were very friendly and welcoming 👍 will be calling again

The restaurant and bar have been extensively updated, and all to the good. It's much cosier now. The menu is varied and good quality. People are raving over the quality of the sausages and bacon. The new landlords are doing a great job, long may they continue.

New tenants Ceri and Dean have got it just right.! A cosy, friendly atmosphere in comfy surroundings with good pub food.

Reopened recently, and it's absolutely great. Lovely breakfast, great service and the recently renovated front of the pub is very pleasant. Definitely recommend.

We visited here last night (10/09/24 ) and received a lovely warm welcome ordered our meal and then waited 35 mins for it to arrive it was good,we then waited another 20 mins for main course as to which I had to ask should it have come with onion rings overall I found the evening disappointing, sorry but got to be honest

Gorgeous place, new owners are so lovely and friendly and food excellent, can't wait to go back! And look forward to when they have entertainment on

I am going by what friends have said I just had a lemonade on Tuesday night. But 40 yrs ago it was our local for many years

Brilliant place, food was spectacular and staff where really nice. Highly recommend a visit 100%

Amazing food! The Sunday roast was delicious. Very generous amount of food and the staff were very polite and professional.

Only stopped here as traffic was so incredibly bad. The guy behind the bar was very friendly. Lines were nice and clean and it wasn’t too expensive for two beers. Under a tenner. The pub was also very clean and had a lush atmosphere. Would go again.

What a difference the new owners have made already. Amazingly friendly and keen to hear feedback whether negative or positive. Whilst we've all been disappointed with previous managers, you won't be disappointed with the new guys. The atmosphere is lovely. The food is delicious. Anyone who visits will be in for a treat. Can't wait for the main restaurant to open on the 28th. I will definitely be visiting more regularly. Dog friendly as well which is always a bonus in my opinion.

Pub has new owners and a been refurbished its lovely and cosy inside, new owners are so friendly and welcoming and food is 10/10. Definitely will be back!

The new owners have done an amazing job. It's only a limited menu at the moment as the restaurant section does not open until later this month. However the choice offered is excellent as it the quality of the products. Will definitely visit here again

New owners have made a great difference already. Looking forward to being regulars.

My god this is the worst place I’ve ever eaten ,got there at 13.50 place was freezing cold ,ordered drinks and then after 40 mins they came over to say they’d ran out of beef we had to have turkey 30 mins later the dinner came after 80 mins and was stone cold ,only peas and watery cabbage ,absolutely disgusting 🤮 if you are thinking of going please do not bother ,manager is a disgrace,DO NOT EVER GO HERE

Had a family get together here, the place was freezing, we waited over 1 hour for our food which was luke warm when it arrived, we was offered 10% off the bill after complaining.

Never open and very unreliable. Don't recommend at all

We have had an amazing Christmas day with you. Staff lovely nothing to much trouble, food fabulous.

We decided to try The Red Lion, after a family recommendation. The pub has recently changed hands and it seems that the new team are really doing a great job. We shared the garlic mushrooms to start, which was very well presented and very tasty - maybe could have done with a bit more garlic for me, but overall a lovely starter. For the main course, I opted for the steak pie whilst my wife had the rump steak. Both dishes were presented well, and were piping hot. The steak was cooked to my wife’s liking and was well worth the money. As for the pie…. It was jam packed with steak in a delicious gravy, encased within a beautiful pastry parcel. The steak pie was one of the best that I’ve had in a long time. All in all, we had a lovely relaxing dinner. Definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended.

Great pub with good food. Friendly staff and a hilarious chef... cheers guys Will definitely be back.

Lovely food, was hot and delicious. Staff friendly and welcoming. They were lovely with the Children Will definitely go again.

Heard about the refurbishment and decided to give it a go on the way home from hospital. Hubby went in to the loo whilst I parked the car. Got inside and plane was cold and empty. Waited for hubby to decide where he wanted to sit and whilst I waited a rather large 🐀 rat ran from behind the bar area into the gents toilet. Needles to say we didn't stay. Manager obviously seen us leave and heard me screaming so came out to the car to ask what was wrong. Didn't seem to believe me. Hope he has brought in pest control. Shan't visit again.

Went in function room with friends, pre selected menu, served around 9.30, not enough food ran out of rice etc, manager very rude said he had cooked 3kg and that there were only 8 people who hadnt had any. After 15 mins we were called back to what looked like packet rice, manager said that would do. He was an awful man, insulting one of the friends. There should of been more than enough food as ten people had paid for food but not turned up.

Broke down outside, and they kindly let me leave my car there for the night

Greeted well by (I think Katie), Looked after by every member of staff we encountered. Piping hot beautiful food, still at 5pm (Which is rare at the end of a carvery) The meat was well prepared and of a high quality, the beef in fact was one of the best I’ve ever had. I then had cheese cake dessert, again up there it’s one of the best. I can’t recommend enough, Go early to avoid disappointment, and go hungry!!! Or you wont fit it all in,(they’re not shy on the portions) As we left I overheard the chef to the kitchen staff, briefing them, and pretty inspiring toward them, And then I heard the owners asking the waitress is she getting home safe is someone coming for her, So a family run business that seemed to extend the family to include the staff, As a business owner, you’ve no idea how important this mens to me. If we’re in the area again we will return x

A very pleasant dining experience,Food was delicious as well as being hot. We had a short wait but that was because food was cooked fresh. Staff were very friendly. Much improved experience from a previous visit some time ago. Good luck to the hard working new owners

Went for a pie and mash "do" with oakenholt bowling and RNLI. We were in the back room, which was a bit chilly to start with. Pie and mash nice. Staff friendly and welcoming.

First time at this pub not happy with the food serviced, ordered the fish and chips, chips were hard wouldn't book again

On way to our caravan for the weekend best place stop off. Gorgeous food, beautiful place and lovely staff 😍

Nice place with pleasant service and all right interior. Ordered fish'n chips. The food came quickly and the waiter (and bartender) was a very nice fellow. Definitely recommend if you are nearby and are hungry.

Excellent food and service. Visited on a Friday evening and I have to say that the new people are doing a cracking job. The food was absolutely delicious- chicken tenders meal, honey glazed salmon - couldn't fault. Our waitress was so courteous - thank you. Do pay a visit as the food, etc deserves the praise.

Warm welcome, Lovely lunch we had half Fish and Chips freshly cooked to order. Place is lovely and clean with a well stocked bar. Having had previous poor experiences under previous management - it’s nice to have people who are intent on giving excellent quality of food and service you deserve to succeed. This deserves the support of the local community, we will return.

(Under new ownership) We ended up going to this pub by chance as my Apple Maps took us to this “Red Lion” rather than a different one, and we are glad it did! The service was great, a friendly gent called Tommy served us and made us feel right at home. Refreshing to be served by someone who clearly enjoys their job and wants to provide a good service to their customers as it seems to be few and far between these days. We had mushrooms & rarebit to start and they were well presented and delicious. We had pie & fish chips for the main, big portion sizes and the food was hot and we didn’t have to wait long. The fish was super fresh and the meat in the pie tender. All round enjoyable lunch served with a smile. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic food and excellent value for money. Lovely staff, thanks Tommy!!

I found it a nice place to have a drink. The outside seating area is great.

Great Sunday lunch last week...carvery was great and staff lovely there and at the bar. Food was hot, plentiful and tasty. Choice of three meats, a pie or veggie option. Lovely big Yorkshire's, roasties, mash, carrot and swede mash, peas and green beans, sprouts and cabbage. Gravy was good too. The chef came around for a little chat and showed an interest in us, which was a nice touch. We will return.

Opted for the carvery and was not disappointed. Good choice of food and plenty of it. Staff were happy to please and courteous. I recommend a visit as the location is ideal for the A55 and Mold area.

Good food and excellent service from really friendly staff. Fellow customers also very pleasant. Will defo be returning.

We visited this pub today and was so grateful for the excellent service and friendly hospitality we received. I can really rate the chunky chips and my husband very much enjoyed the tuna melt toastie which he pronounced delicious. It’s a huge help with plenty of seating and quite a nice decking area outside. Best of luck to our cheery host and his endeavours.

Second week in a row stopped for a bite & pint . Sat outside due to having a dog. Maybe visits here will lessen as the weather gets cold & wet because we don't want to sit outside with Billie

Lovely meal and staff were amazing, helpful and friendly, we camr wait to come back again

I named this review after the song that the chef was singing as we were eating our meal! The food was great, the service was exceptional...we came for lunch quite late, just after 3pm so while it was a little quiet, the staff were really smiley and friendly. The chef was talking to us from behind the hot plate and came over and said he could do some food that wasn't on the menu gluten free for my wife...it was just a really nice touch. Lots of laughs and we felt really welcome. Thanks heaps team, you guys are awesome!

Food was OK, service decent but nothing special to be honest,,

Lovely welcome...food was amazing! Cooked fresh infront of us...triple cooked chips are to die for! Hubby happy with the guiness, said it was like velvet. Can't wait to come back & try the carvery
