Red Lion Hotel in Denbighshire

A true hidden gem in north wales. a real country pub with a great village community. Nita and major were fantastic hosts from the minute we entered the door. Real open fires and real home made curry’s in a truly beautiful traditional country pub. The chicken Punjabi and masala fish nann were just unbelievably amazing. Well priced and great portions. Can’t recommend this place highly enough.

A lovely traditional pub, not much atmosphere or a great welcome from the landlord. If you're in the hospitality business, at least try to smile and say a few words. A god bar and choice of drinks, food portionswere small and food not great, very average. Ordered veggie samosas for a starter and recieved 1, a single samosa charged at 2.95...tasted OK, but stingy really. Scampi and chips for the main- tiny amount for 13.95. Husband had a burger which wS 14.95 and average. Was overcharged too. Not a great experience, would not eat here again. A lot more could be done to improve this lovely pub.

A wonderful gem of a pub hidden in a small village well worth a detour to visit.

Simply amazing! Treasure to the village

An absolute hidden gem. Lovely traditional old pub with cosy and interesting interiors. The curry was the best part! So fresh and authentically cooked. We were all so happy and full! We were a big group of 8 so they warned us the food would be a little while as it's a small family pub, but the wait wasn't too bad at all considering and the service was very friendly. Board games and books were a nice bonus too, as we had a small toddler with us

Excellent food. Excellent service. Highly recommended.

Excellent food beer and service

What a lovely pub. Had an authentic punjabi curry and a pint of purple moose. Nice drive to get there through the forest from cerig too. Will call again when I'm area again. Recommended 🥘 🍻 😊 🚙🏕️

Great coffee shop and breakfast.

Excellent meal. Beautiful setting.

You have to visit this great little pub and sample the curry dishes - fantastic x

Authentic punjabi brunch savoured in the sunshine today...very tasty. Friendly owners. Enjoyable experience & different 👌...thank you Pam & Nim 😀

We were heading for the pub on a cycle ride, when we arrived the pub was shut (due to open later in the day). The landlord was outside and very kindly offered to open up just for us so we could have a pint or 2. Such a lovely and generous thing to do. Would definitely return.

What a great place! We arrived for lunch, but they were sadly closed, so they opened up and served us beer anyway! So friendly and accommodating, looks so lovely and well kept too! Thank you!

They just opened a "chai house" in the mornings which serves delicious masala chai and both traditional and indian style breakfasts. A lovely harmony of indian home cooking and a traditional welsh country pub!

Highly recommend this pub. Lovely landlords, peaceful setting and you have to try the food! The home cooked curries are 10/10. Will be making another visit.

A very warm welcome awaits! Good real ale, and fabulous home cooked curry to boot. It's a somewhat large pub but still feels cosy and intimate inside. The area around the pub is sublime.

Quaint, friendly and excellent food. If your in the area well worth a visit

Lovely welcome. Great bitter and Guinness. Fantastic curry. Friendly service.

The Red Lion is a lovely pub, in a very special place. Friendly staff who are very accommodating and also welcoming locals. Really good home cooked food served till 9 pm,, that is not to typical fayre. Amazing Gin selection and good beer. Had a great time, will definitely go again.

It was quite but chance we found this little quaint pub and the food was SO good

Welcoming landlord. Excellent selection of gins and an authentic curry. Nice treat.

Excellent country pub with incredible food. Incredible curries. Can't understand why place isn't full to bursting! Maybe that's why it's so good as nothing is rushed and all made to order. We'll certainly be going there again. It's a well kept secret discovered by a colleague of mine who's recently moved into the village.

Great food.. reasonable prices.. brilliant service

Great little pub. Very friendly place. Clean, and fantastc food. Can't fault if. Highly recommend.

Actually I only rode past on my bike and I recived one of these review things. I did go in there about 25 years ago when I was teenager and got hammered on mild and puked in the river and cried coz my girlfriend dumped me. Anyway I'm sure it's brilliant now. 5 stars!

An amazing village pub, beers are really good and the food is always amazing. Best part about this pub is the Whiskey and Gin tasting evenings, they have such a wide range of both liquors, always packed and brilliant atomosphere. Owners are always welcoming and offer such a friendly service. But, best evening to attend is curry nights, proper home cooked indian curries.

Nice cosy place..loved the curry night well done red lion keep it up 👍👍

Family owned...small village pub....and probably the best punjabi curry! Well that's what Carlsberg might say!

Best curry I've tasted in years

Outstanding food, Very friendly staff, if your passing its a must.

Great food, great beer. Wonderful selection of whiskey and gin. Warm, friendly staff.

Nice old pub atmosphere and excellent food. Can't recommend enough!

Cracking village pub. Well kept beer and vast array of whiskies. Great home made curry.

Very friendly, good food and drink, a nice variety for a small pub

We travelled some thirty miles on the strength of reviews we had read. The landlord gave us a warm welcome and we installed ourselves in a nook of the pub that had three tables and a wood burner. There were other tables along towards the bar; the public bar had more tables and a pool table. The food is served from 18:00hrs and we were quick off the mark to place our order as we had waited some weeks before we were able to make the visit. We each ordered a starter, a kebab and a samosa. Both were amazing the samosa was absolutely the best I have ever tasted. I had to restrain myself from ordering half a dozen to take home! Then onto the main event of the pork curry served with rice and naan. I enjoyed the curry, but the rice elevated the meal, this is not the stuff that you are served in your local takeaway! The Guinness is a superior pint to some of the other Guinness I have been served, I was gutted I had taken on driving duties so could only partake of one pint. I would like to make a return visit very soon. If you like good food, good beer and a friendly atmosphere pay a visit.

Mr and Mrs Singh were delightful hosts in this recently re-opened pub. We stayed four days just up the road and enjoyed attending every night. All of the locals we encountered were very nice too. Fun trivia night, although I forget which night. Timothy Sparks and Denise McDonald Cudal, New South Wales Australia
