Only went for food an to talk about a wedding venue. Booking only and no where else to eat apart from outside. No signs or anythink. So that's a big miss. Shame!

I recently visited this pub and had a truly disappointing experience. From start to finish, the meal was a disaster. For starters, I had a dish that was completely tasteless. It didn't have any flavor at all, and the side salad that came with it was equally bland, lacking any seasoning or dressing. It felt like they didn't even try. The main course was just as bad. I ordered fish and chips, and it was awful. The batter was hard as a rock, the fish was overcooked and dry, and the mushy peas were a joke – they were hard and flavorless. My partner's meal was no better. They had a pie that was also completely tasteless, and once again, the vegetables had no seasoning, and the mash potato tasted almost like it had gone off. It's as if they forgot the basic concept of seasoning and flavor. Overall, the whole meal was disappointing. I would not recommend this pub for a family meal out and I would the suggest the owner have a serious look into what they’re serving for them prices.

Food was really nice. Reasonably priced with set 2 and 3 course prices. We were in a big group and staff were very helpful. The outdoor play area is a big bonus when out with kids.

Hats off to this place ❤️ well done chefs 👌 Coming from someone who works in the industry its not often you see "home made or made in house" on the signs and the food actually be that. Could tell even the crispy chicken was battered & fried in house. Throughly enjoyed our food, proper good pub grub with that little bit of extra love. Keep it up, we will be returning ❤️ Front of house staff where also lovely. The desert selection was stunning! Thank you 😋

We love this place, especially in good weather! Really good home cooked food, the sort you expect from a country pub and the garden space is fantastic. Loads of tables with some on the patio and more under a marquee. Playground for the kids, which has recently had an extra bit added to it.

Our recent visit for a light lunch was very disappointing, the first pint of beer was served to the table and was very cloudy. After leaving it for a while it did not clear and taking back to the bar, the barman knew nothing about beers, but he did replace it with a different beer. The shared starter was poor and needed to be returned because I was dry and burned, the replacement was perfect. Overall a poor experience, both the beer and the food have declined in quality compared to our previous visits.

2nd visit to The red lion. Both times the food has been excellent but on both occasions the service has not matched. On our first visit we were part of a larger table so put the slow service down to that. On our 2nd visit (4th May) we waited a long time at the "wait to be seated sign". Countless members of staff walked by without even acknowledging us. I understand they were busy taking drinks etc but a little " someone will be with your shortly" wouldn't go amiss. A lady (tall) finally came and greeted us. She was chewing gum wasn't very professional!! There was no cutlery on the table and the lady advised that they had run out and that she would bring some over. She didn't and we had to ask again when out food arrived.Order was taken quickly and the mains did come out in good time. As I said before the food was delicious and hot. We asked for dessert menus and they took a while to arrive. We then waited 25 minutes for someone to take our order but we ended up having to get up and ask someone. Dessert came out quickly and were nice. No came to clear our plates or ask us if we wanted anything else. Another 20 minutes past still no one. We ended up going to the bar to pay. This place has the potential to be amazing if staff were trained to be more attentive.

It started off well nice welcome lovely food albeit it was only burger & chips…but very nice! After we had finished the meal it all seemed to go down hill. Waited for someone to come and clear the table and offer desserts. Sat chatting for a while but nothing…they forgot about us. The two members of staff seemed to be rearranging tables at the other side of the restaurant. So we decided to forget the desserts and went over and asked for the bill!

Dropped in for meal on way home early evening, were shown to a table right by the log burning stove and asked for our drinks order shortly after, we booked our meals at same time. Drinks came straight away and the food soon after. We asked for tapwater which came straight away. The two young waitresses were very polite, and attentive. We enjoyed our mains, and both found the portions generous. Would fully recommend this establishment there are generous outdoor seating areas too for the summer days we are all looking forward to.

Friendly staff with a varied music track and important to me, not too loud so you can talk without shouting. Husband enjoyed his chicken and leek l pue. Both meals freshly cooked so there's a little wait. Drinks served straightaway. Been a few times over the years and it hasn't disappointed.

Food was fantastic but we walked in to the empty restaurant and got sat in the walkway to the garden we had people walking past with bowls of dog water and back and forth to the bar sat in a cold breeze as the door was left open. We had to eventually go to the bar to pay for our meal as we got cheesed off with waiting for someone to ask for the bill. It was quite disappointing as all other times I've visited its been great and I had really talked it up to my girlfriend not sure I will return after that experience

Had an absolutely horrific experience here. We paid very good money for the food, we had to pay first and was offered no refund what so ever. All of our chips were still frozen on every meal. We ordered one medium rare steak and it came out burnt to a crisp. The peas were still frozen, absolute waste of time, we left starving and got a McDonald's which was ten times better. Will never be back sorry.

We went at lunch time, we were sat at the table and given menus, we were forgot about for a while then server came and took our order and arranged drinks. I ordered the smothered rump, my wife ordered lasagna, she said her lasagna was nice. The rump steak was ok chips chunky but a little dry in the middle. We drank our drinks but wasn't offered anymore drinks or asked how our meal was. I called a server on her way past and asked for more drinks and the pudding menu. Pudding was nice I had chocolate fudge cake. Feedback There is like a staff room/ server corner at the back of the dining area, staff stand around and have breaks there. They have their bags and personal items in the area aswell. Couldn't a staff room be provided for servers? Servers quickly walk past with plates and orders but didn't check in on guests. Lots of people.had empty glasses, this is not only missed revenue opportunity but it also makes guests feel special when they are asked if they want another drink or if they need anything.

I write this with some regret because I would always recommend this pub to any looking for a good meal with good service. Unfortunately this is no longer the case. My last visit was a Sunday at 1600. You’d have thought that the peak for diners was tailing off and seemed to feel that way as the room was not full or felt crowded. At first our mains come out wrong and it wasn’t until 1715 until our meal was served to us, over an hour wait for food is not acceptable. Our children wanting dessert we were told we are welcome to stay for our dessert but would need to move us for a booking… excuse me it wasn’t my fault you took an age serving us. We ended up with dessert bagged up to take home and still charged full price for it. I’m sorry to say given the prices they charge you'd expect good service and good food but along with delays it was lacking in all areas. I’m sorry to say they’ve lost a customer, I’m not likely to return anytime soon and for anyone reading this I’d recommend the same… look elsewhere.
