Nice little pub, good quality cask ale (well kept).Friendly staff and reasonable prices

We have just started using this local pub/restaurant, very pleasant surroundings, friendly helpful staff great food, and a large portion, highly recommended

What a lovely place staff where pleasant meals where great had mixed grill everything cooked perfectly and the ribeye steak was excellent well done 👏

Very nice pub , food was good, fresh products . Lovely service . Would not hesitate to recommend.

Went there with a couple of friends for a pint and dinner . We'd booked in the restaurant but ended up staying in the pub part of the place . Nice atmosphere , we sat by the fireplace . First time in there for me but I /we enjoyed the food which was well priced. The lady who looked after us was really friendly . Would recommend.

Pub has a great atmosphere...the food is very good indeed. Second time we have eaten here in the past week. the food is excellent along with the service. Restaurant could do with a face-lift but if this place gets on the map it will be bookings only great night. Great food. thank you.

Great pub and brilliant staff food very good and well priced

Absolutely blown away, quality, value, service, cooked to perfection 10/10. Creamy Garlic Mushrooms were tasty, not over powering, spot on. Rib Eye steak with Blue Cheese Sauce was Exceptional!! Steak cooked perfectly and the blue cheese sauce was Amazing, will define be returning, Service was efficient and pleasing. Super Value, will definitely be making this a regular treat. Highly Recommend,

Lovely and friendly pub .made to feel really welcome .The meal we had was absolutely delicious ..Thank you so much ❤

No online presence for this pub which is a shocker.......I would visit frequently if I knew what food and offers they were doing and when!! Please sort this out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am very lucky, I only live 90 second's away from this lovely Pub 😁 it is very warm and welcoming, you can walk in not knowing anyone and walk out having made friends. The food is great so is the service, the beer is great. The landlord and landlady are great ( and funny lol ) and will go that extra mile to accommodate 👍

I went to the Red Lion at Checkley yesterday evening with my wife and another couple for the grill night. Before sitting at our table we had a drink at the bar which offers a great selection of beers from the hand pump. In the restaurant we ordered a mixed grill, two ribeye steaks and the gammon. Everything was cooked perfectly and when it arrived at the table it was all piping hot, as it should be. My mixed grill was definitely one of the best I'd ever had and everyone else was really happy with their food. The prices were very reasonable too. I can't believe the price some places charge for steak these days. The steaks we had here prove you can still have excellent quality at a reasonable price. The only disappointment was that we were the only ones in the restaurant. Why it wasn't full, especially on grill night, is beyond me. We will definitely be returning. Thank you.

Great food Great beers good atmosphere wish it was a bit closer to home

A great way to breakfast.Saturday morning and the summer sun has risen.We two have been invited to breakfast at the Red Lion In the idealic village of Checkley in Staffordshire.We ordered,and after waiting about twenty minutes,a delicious blend of locally sourced ingredients were set before us.Serve yourself beverages with free top ups meant that the repast was consumed at ease in pleasant surroundings.The pricing is very decent.We will return.

Fantastic! The Red Lion catered an event for us and it was really nicely done. Great atmosphere, drinks and hearty food at super reasonable prices. You can’t go wrong!

Cracking pub good pint good prices and good atmosphere

Cracking boozer small friendly with a good atmosphere, well worth a visit family's and dogs welcome.

Lovely old pub with good beer, good service. Open fire and log burner make it a lovely place for a brew.

Great pub, bit out of the way but fab staff and great prices

Great selection of cask ales, all well kept.

Wonderful place! Restaurant not open when we went but we were welcomed by a log fire and really friendly patrons. Such a community, cosy feel. Also amazing local ale from Uttoxeter brewery. Exactly how a British pub should be!

Went for breakfast which was excellent and at a reasonable price.will go again and recommend to my friends.

Traditional pub with a log fire.

Traditional small pub with real fire. Friendly staff. Cosy.

Best pub in Staffordshire . Most welcoming staff

Best pint of bass in the area good old fashioned pub the selection of beer is good and food is outstanding

Although originally a Checkley lad, returned to the Lion after being overseas for decades pleasantly surprised by the friendly service, great landlord and the amazing locals, always have a laugh. Beer from Uttoxeter brewery was awesome.

Landlord and landlady have turned this gem of a pub back to how it used to be, great place to relax with a well kept drink. Great people through out the place

Stayed in the area for a couple of days and were made to feel very welcome…. Excellent beer etc should be in the good beer guide if they’re not already….

We came to the Red lion to play darts and we were made so welcome. It s a really friendly pub very traditional good selection of ales and they are more than happy to make cooler if that’s your tipple.

I’m not from the local area and was made to feel very unwelcome.
