Red Lion in Calderdale

What a fantastic place, from the food to the experience there's not a thing I could fault. The staff are always so happy to help especially the manager Ellie. Would highly recommend

Held a surprise 30th tea party here. They made us a fabulous buffet of cold sandwiches, onion bahjis etc and an amazing curry plus lasagne with chips and rice. The food was amazing and plenty of it! The staff are so pleasant and helpful. They accommodated all our needs! I would recommend a visit! Lovely and welcoming. Great parking too.

Easily accessible carpark, all the staff were welcoming and attentive. Nice and clean, inside and out. Sharp cutlery (annoys me greatly when you go somewhere and the cutlery is blunt) Extensive menu and choice, catering for vegetarians too. Great range of drinks. Quick service and not waiting long in between courses. I had the prawnography (WOW!) imagine the best prawn cocktail of your life, dress it up in a fancy costume, sprinkle it with a bit of magic and there you have the best starter I have ever tasted! It was delicious! Then I had the Sunday carvery, great choice of vegetables, stuffing, yorkies, crackling, proper pigs in blankets, the meat was bang on, I had the gammon, roasted to perfection with a sticky glaze. Too full for pudding unfortunately! This establishment has now gone into our top 3 local favourites! We will be back!

OMG it was amazing Sunday lunch the staff were lovely and attentive nothing too much trouble and we were a party of 12 plenty of every thing veg meat and sauces only thing I would say no need for ratatouille for a Sunday lunch unless you ask for it. Cliaflora cheese was stated on menu but was not available.

I've been looking forward to sampling the food at The Red Lion and it did not disappoint. Met up with my friend for a girly midweek catch up. We ordered the Chicken Kiev and the Miss Piggy Burger. Both meals were so good. We did manage to squeeze in the Biscoff Cheesecake. Another homemade absolute winner. I can't wait to come back for the Sunday lunch 10out of 10!!

Food was delicious. Me and partner ended up here after seeing amazing comments on Facebook. We thought why not give it a try. We had a hanging bbq chicken and 10oz sirloin steak both cooked to perfection, by the way love the English onion bhaji. We had biscoff cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding to finish. Service was excellent. I real nice surprise and will visit again and highly reccomend to others

First time here. Food was lovely, reasonably priced, excellent friendly service and when I asked about vegan options for my daughter and son in law they are happy to oblige even if it is not on the menu.

Hope it works out and continues to flourish, made all the better winning the bonus ball. Thanks for chasing me on that.

Glad to see it back running as it should. Sunday dinner carvery l was immense. Decent beer on. Even managed to fit us in even though we'd just turned up on the off chance. Would recommend booking on a Sunday. Brilliant value. Very happy.

Don't really go for carvery but have to say probably the best I have ever had Iam shocked it was that good

Just had Sunday lunch absolutely stunning

Lovely Sunday lunch , service was great , can’t fault it

We was going to go to Toby cavery but thought we would try the red lion instead. We wasn't disappointed at all. The question now is Toby who?? This has them beat hands down. Lovely food fantastic atmosphere and very attentive staff. Will definitely be eating here more often and a bonus is no washing up 😁

Absolutely fabulous food , restaurant quality food , with good beer , top class

AMAZED! We’re here from Melbourne visiting family and this pub is just across the road from where we’re staying. I’m pleased to say that our group of 5 were all absolutely over the moon with our experience at The Red Lion! The food was perfect and exceeded expectations, the service was fast, and the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful :) I only managed to snap a picture of my dessert (Sticky Toffee Pudding) but I guarantee you’re in for a treat and an excellent evening! (We even got toothpicks and some little chocolates with our bill! How thoughtful) 10/10 would recommend. We’ll certainly be back next time we’re here! :)

Group of 6 of us ate here on Saturday night, lovely dining room, great service and the food was just stunning, definitely will be going back for more :)

Brilliant pub/restaurant staff are very pleasant and attentive will visit again.

me n missus had a nice quiet drink round the back beer garden in the sunshine 👍

Hired the pub for my 50th birthday party, great service from the staff and Dave the landlord really went above and beyond, fantastic buffet spread, a great night was had by all. Would highly recommend Thanks again to Dave and the team

Toilets clean. Pub clean. Bar staff friendly

The best local pub! Lovely staff and the food is always amazing when we visit! Carvery, restaurant menu and bar meals are all beautiful! Thank you!!

Very comfortable establishment, spotless all the way, very nice beer garden, very nice pint very nice food and decent stuff. What a pleasure it was to visit. I shall definitely be going back in the future.

Absolutely amazing! Staff and landlord always go above and beyond for us. Atmosphere is always great and the food - divine!

Came here for carvery with my kids & parents it was absolutely phenomenal would definitely recommend. 10/10

lovely staff and was treated well, food is gorgeous. would recommend!

First time there ,waited ages for food ,loads of chips not much scampi and soggy veg.Grandson had gammon which we took home for dog .Young staff that just didnt seem to be coping well. Bonus puddings were nice

Feels a little cramped, I felt like I was joining the family sat next to us. Food was OK service was good.

Lovely food, nice place to eat in the conservatory, staff were great as well, will definitely be back

Lovely carvery again today, excellent food and good value.

Fabulous carvery again today! Can’t wait to try the bar meals through the week! Great new manager and bar staff

great staff nice food , friendly landlord

Unfriendly landlord. Cold. Very quiet. No atmosphere

Great local pub with really friendly staff. Can't comment if the food as I only went for drinks.

Lovely lunch very friendly staff. We had a very enjoyable meal. Would recommend the Halloumi salad and the pub planks. Nice decor clean. Great service

Called in for drinks Friday tea was planning on having food but only stayed for one drink the language from the drinkers in the bar was appalling f ing this f ing that bar lady was stud listening to the lads swearing and said nothing won’t be calling in here again this place has gone down hill

Got treat like royalty as always and the food was again absolutely divine. Compliments again on the food and the service. Waitress is sooo lovely. Even got a complimentary bunch of flowers for mothers day. Lovely sentiments thanks again!!

Lovely couple who run it waiting staff very nice compliments to the chef steak cooked as requested will certainly be back

Had Sunday lunch last week food ok but portions to small ex to small roast potatoes and one stuffing ball .come on really won't be rushing back 🙆

Since this pub has reopened we have been visiting a bit more as the staff are lovely and the food is sooooo good !!! We’ve not had a bad meal here so far. Great pub with a very nice atmosphere!!!

We had food yest. It was very good. Would defo recommend. Friendly staff

A great pub ,fab beer and top staff

Unfortunately not dog friendly as per website

Friendly service, good food. We had the Sunday lunch menu, good quality, value for money. Scampi was a bit over cooked, but the belly pork with crispy crackling and beef were succulent.

Great traditional menu and very friendly service.

Great food at reasonable prices

I want to give you feedback on how you ruined XMAS day. We came in October to see our friend who said you were doing XMAS dinner so we asked to see the menu. The Chef, a large guy, came out and gave us a menu and told us it was 7 courses for £70. With me being vegetarian the menu fitted in with my dietary requirement. We agreed to leave a £60 deposit which we paid for by cash and we were given a small receipt which simply said XMAS DINNER £60 DEPOSIT PAID and a copy of the said menu we still have these. We then called back into the pub in early December for a drink and we asked you to confirm that we were booked in. There was a lady with blonde hair and a guy with black hair behind the bar who explained all was booked in and showed us the booking in the book. At that point we were told could we send over our menu choices in a week or so for the meal. I phoned about a week later to give our choices and at that point the lady on the phone abruptly told her she is too busy and told to come down with the choices, which was a bit rude. I was busy myself so i sent our choices on Facebook messenger. The reply was “we are busy, we have a funeral on” and then 2 hours later we were asked AGAIN for our choices(PORK LOIN & AUBERGINE). Five days later on the 22nd of December we received another message this time saying the menu we were given was a old menu(EVEN THOUGH IT SAYS 2021) and could we make another choice just 3 days before the meal. The new menu had less courses and was now £65 not £70 which was not as good value on top of this there was no Aubergine or Pork options and I didn’t like the other Vegetarian options. After speaking to my husband I didn’t want to pay all that money for a meal I wasn’t going to like as the options were not suitable for me On the 22nd of December we asked to cancel and collect our deposit the reply came back to say “yes no problem”. Then an hour or so after we received a further message say you would now NOT give us our money back “as the food had already been allocated and purchased” but this could not be the case as the food we ordered was not on the current menu so you obviously had ordered our food in. We responded to explain again the menu was wrong and we don’t like the new menu 3 days before Xmas day. I would love to publish the whole saga but unfortunately Google on let you post so many words! The Red lion then came back to us saying and I quote! “ITS PEOPLE LIKE YOU WHO DO MORE HARM THAN GOOD” & “CRACK ON! EVERYONE ELSE HAS CHANGED NO PROBLEM” “!YOU WILL BE THE PEOPLE AT XMAS WHO COMPLAIN SO YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY” Then they said Everyone else has changed??? You said you had never seen the menu we were given so why have other people changed their menu choices!!! I smell a rat…. I contacted the pub and spoke to dan who I presume is the manger and was told I could collect my deposit but every time I went around he was conveniently not around so I wasted my time on a number of occasions. Overall its just been a horrible experience over the Xmas period. We had to find somewhere else for our xmas dinner at short notice we were messed around something shocking plus £60 out of pocket.

Lived in the area a few years now and I’ve always walked past but today I decided to treat my parents to a meal the settings were ideal the service was spot on the food was just right also added a desert - Definitely coming back thank you

Great service and excellent food...wonderful experience as always

3 of us went for early bird menu. Good choice and very good portion size. Really enjoyed our meals. Waiting Staff a bit slow but they were new to it. Landlady couldn't do enough for us. Will go again

We arrived early for our booking so it was suggested we wait in the bar area -really wish we didn't have to . The bar was scruffy, freezing cold and full of loud, dodgy looking characters. Felt really uncomfortable though the serving staff were friendly. However, through to the restaurant in the conservatory and what a difference. Heating on for one thing and the food was lovely and hot and reasonably priced. Its a shame our party of 8 were the only ones in there - though it was a Thursday evening- it didn't make for much of an atmosphere. I wonder if its the horrible bar that puts people off - it certainly did for me. Such a shame,

Had a really nice time at the Red Lion 🦁 Mel the landlady is a really nice and chatty young lady, I had a mixed grill which was plenty full my wife had the steak and ale pie which again was plenty, my only complaint was the gammon was dry but all things considered a great night was had, thanks Mel you made us feel welcome👍👍🍾🇬🇧

Nice friendly pub, excellent food, service and beers.

Have just visited this pub for a meal to celebrate my son-in-laws birthday. The food was very good, freshly prepared and well presented. Prices were very reasonable and the waitress friendly and polite.

They have recently changed chef and menu and in our opinion not for the better. Been here before under the previous chef and thought it was excellent but this was not great. The menu was not at all inspiring but was clearly just taken from their old pub as it still had the name of the old pub at the bottom! The food was not great, not up to previous standards. The service was really good other than few and far between. We won’t be going back any time soon.

Food was not good, everything had been pre-cooked then warmed up, mashed potatoes were tasteless and quite honestly looked like slop! Yorkshire Puddings were soggy and the veg was over cooked the only positive thing I can say is the Roast Turkey was lovely. We opted not to have a starter and from placing our order the food was delivered to us in less than 5 minutes so I think that says everything! On top of all that was the rock and heavy metal music playing in the background……. We have eaten here on several occasions and the food has never disappointed so not sure if someone was having a bad day in the kitchen but certainly won’t be rushing back! We would normally have 3 to 4 drinks each but it was so rushed we only had time for 2, not a nice relaxing Sunday afternoon that we are used to…….

Pre-booked table for sunday,on arrival staff had problems finding us somewhere to sit. Eventually ordered food,both starters and meals came minus cutlery which we had to wait for 2-3 minutes on both occassions while they found some. On finishing meal a male member came over and asked if we were ready to pay as the table was needed?,all the staff for some reason insisted on calling me Guy? Not impressed with attitude of staff but really felt sorry for the two young waitresses who were really working their socks of,as it was fairly busy. The food was nice and hot although the mash potatos,was very mushy. Not sure if I will go again.

Sunday lunch Very disorganised!! Mushrooms whole and not well cooked Salmon came with roast potatoes not mash advertised? The mash asked for was awful Gloopy probably beaten for too long which is what happens Waitress lovely but v stressed 😫 We had to keep asking for cutlery etc We were asked if we could vacate the table just as finished pud as it was needed!!! No apology and the young man who asked us could do with a tidy up and better social skills Luckily we live in Cumbria so just visiting family so won t be going again

Great night, super quick to get served by the friendly staff even though it was busy!

We Had a lovely meal, staff are very friendly even had entertainment at our table finished off a really good night.

Excellent service and food. Have tried various from the menu over a number of weeks all good. Not overpriced, good value, and just as I like it. Farmers blonde beer is great particularly on a warm day.

The best mixed grill ive ever had and ive had plenty over the years At first i didnt know whether to eat it or climb it Everthing cooked perfectly with nice cuts of meat Dining area was clean and tidy and the toilets were the same Good selection of drinks in the adjoining pub Great service by the young lady Cant reccomend it enough and we will be back soon

Cracking pub great staff can't fault it one bit!

Popped in on passing and was led into an empty dining room (Saturday evening) by a pleasant young lady. Chose a chicken dish, which not only looked beautiful, but tasted amazing. One suggestion-when serving chips/veg in desperate bowls to one person, please don’t serve the same as you would for two-it was really wasteful, which was a shame.. it was also a shame that the place was empty with such a good quality menu.

Fantastic food at reasonable prices, welcoming and attentive staff. Pub is nicely decorated. I'll definitely be back again. Thank you Red Lion

Good service good food large portions

a really warm welcome everytime , food is superb , chef always come out to check ur happy , top bloke , ace

Prompt service, friendly surroundings, ample beer garden

Great food, lovely atmosphere & friendly staff. We have also heard the Sunday lunch is meant to be lovely, so we will have to visit again!

Can highly recommend this place for the food and beer. All procedures aderded to with the ongoing problem. Give it a try.

Food excellent very nice staff would recommend 👍

Met family for a few drinks 🍸and some food. All good and the food was first 😋class. Worth a visit.

A lovely pub, really friendly staff and a beautiful building. A bit more choice on real ale would be nice but a cracking pub.

They have a lovely warm atmosphere, and your made welcome by really nice staff, the food is awesome with a good price range for every pocket. I would 100% recommend The Red Lion for a nice meal or just good company. Love the place

Accommodated our party ( my late brother's wake) at the last minute. Very helpful and friendly staff

Great food and a good selection

Food is lush and bar staff luvly friendly polite definitely call again

Always great food from these chefs. Steak to perfection, chips amazing.

We had a great meal,good service and well worth a visit.

It's a great place for a nice good priced meal, with good service, clean , and safe, from viruses, Recommend 👍

Great food and service, we had a mixed platters to start which was beaut and the steak burgers were huge will be back soon for sure

I will start with the good... I ate there last week and the food was lovely but service very poor. I tried it gain last night and again the food was lovely so great work chef. The service was absolute awful from the table for 4 more like one for two could not get all plates and drink on table. The female owner was unprofessional and staff lack direction. A massive pile of power tools were on floor next to us and comment was they need to be somewhere... limited social distance and no names and addresses taken. Very poor wont be back

Good steak at a reasonable price, cooked exactly as requested. Very few others in, which was lovely for us. Great place for a casual meal.

Superb meal, excellent service and good value prices. Highly recommended and we'll definitely be back.

Great home cooked food enjoyed by all of us this evening. Very polite staff always happy to help of needed. Very relaxed environment and didn't feel like we was being rushed like we have at many other places before. We will definitely be back as it the best pub much we have had in a very long time. Very highly recommended. Thanks all for a lovely evening.

Excellent food and service as always.

Pleasant atmosphere, quite busy inside, but we sat outside.

Weren't sure how traditional British food would work as a takeaway, but we were incredibly impressed - cooked to perfection, the food was delicious and also hot. Delicious. We would recommend.

Initially felt nervous going out for the first time, but immediately reassured by the new social distancing layout. The food cooked by Karl was amazing and delicious as usual. We are returning for the third time this weekend, for Mums 84th birthday celebrations.

Had the Indian sharers platter and it did not disappoint. Staff are friendly and pub is warm.

Food was spot on. Bar staff very polite and welcoming. I would recommend this place to anyone wanting a nice meal.

Great food , quick service and friendly staff , steak for two, and a bottle of wine for £30 was amazing with the best home cooked chips , onion rings and peppercorn sauce ever . We will be back for sure 👍🏼

Went for a birthday meal and the food was spot on. There was plenty to eat and value for money. Would Def go again

Food v good best to phone and book to avoid disappointment enjoy.

Went last night has a valentine treat with my husband his starter of scallops and prawns delicious l didn’t have a starter nothing I fancied but had the steak which was really tough couldn’t cut it with my steak knife mentioned it to the waitress all she said was sorry and walked away never said l will take it back so on that note I won’t be going back again 😢

Called off for Sunday Lunch, we had visited before but about 6 months ago, the staff were friendly but the food wasn't as good as the first time so I don't know if someone else has taken it over. The beef was well cooked whereas we prefer it pink and the vegetables were overcooked, roast potatoes were more deep fried than roasted. Unfortunately not to our taste.

Food is great lots of different beer's and gins staff are very helpful

We all had a lovely time (to say it was a funeral ) the staff looked after us well and the food was great especily the roast potatoes the whole family seemed to enjoy our time there thank you

Mar bar cheesecake is delicious.

Another fantastic meal today. Always good quality and value for money

Haven't been to eat since it reopened this year, but quiz night is good fun and the supper is always tasty!
