Red Lion Inn in Rotherham

Lovely place but never again just received a parking fine no warning no notice of having to pay. £100 fine disgraceful when you're dining there. It's an absolute outrage

Lovely place, great food and service was very good by Lauren & Orlie. We have been to the Red Lion Quite a few times and always get value for money. Fully recommend.

First time we have had a meal here and the food was excellent and particularly reasonably priced. The service was really good and Olivia was very efficient and excellent company during our short stay. We would definitely go again and readily recommend the Red Lion to others

First time at the Red Lion and have to say we will most definitely be coming back. We were served by Olivia and the service was 10/10, she was so helpful and polite which made our experience all the more enjoyable. The food was also brilliant!

Stayed here recently, so ate here too. Every meal was delicious and piping hot. The atmosphere here was lovely. Every member of staff was polite and cheerful. Dessert was also excellent. Well priced and will definitely return

Insured Sunday so Sunday menu but my word was it good. The 7 hour beef rib on the bone was amazing best beef I can ever remember having just melted in my mouth. The Yorkshire pudding and accompanying veg good but the beef was the star. Large portions and value for money. The restaurant staff very friendly and professional showing that they more than understood how to deliver good customer service. The restaurant was well laid out and spotless again the pictures do not lie. The room was excellent, clean, tidy and well presented and again the marketing pictures do not lie.

First of all, the one negative. We booked Sunday roast for 6pm to find out upon being seated that apart from the turkey roast no other roasts were available. Yes, I get it was 6pm and most would consider this late, however, we're not talking about layby lills catering truck are we? Turkey would not have been either of our choices. Having said that what we received was very nice. Well cooked and presented and a generous size. The organic italian merlot was very, very nice, really enjoyable wine. The sticky toffee pudding was outstanding. Service was professional, friendly & unintuitive. As a foot note. The automated telephone voice that answers when you ring is annoying. Whatever happened to an actual human being answering the telephone?

Great food Lamb shank Shepards pie with the bone in it the meat just falls off. Claire served us well. Was only passing but will call again.

Visited the red lion to take my friend for a birthday meal. We were served at the bar by a lovely lady and we then went to the dining area for some food. The pub has recently been refurbished and it is really nice and cosy. We ordered food at the table which when came was really nice and perfectly cooked all the staff were really nice and polite especially a young man called Brandon such a lovely lad. We will definitely be going again highly recommend this place.

Beautiful pub with stunning interior. Very friendly staff and the food was absolutely delicious. I really recommend the cheese toastie and salted caramel sundae- they are out of this world and very high quality. We will be returning!

We were given a nice table as requested in the window and the service was good but the food was only just warm. A roast Sunday dinner is meant to be hot!

Excellent service by Gemma and Lucy absolute stars. The food was great, a pleasant atmosphere. Convenient location, free parking

Great family friendly pub. Tasty food and decent portions. Claire our server was such a lovely lady, nothing was too much trouble. My mother-in-law is disabled and Claire made it super easy for us. She was friendly and made us feel really welcome. The kids menu is great, my little one loves steak when we’re out, but that’s not often something you find as an option on a kids menu - hey deserve a treat when out too! It was very tasty and just the right size. We will definitely be back! It’s a dog 🐶 friendly place too, which is good to know for next time 😊. Thanks Claire and the rest of the crew.

Lovely food but absolutely poor service. To say the restaurant was half empty. It took an hour for mains to come out. Which isn't good at the best of times but especially not with a five year old. Three meals were luke warm while three were piping hot. Then we had to chase to order more drink, drinks came and were wrong. Then had to ask to order puddings, puddings took 45 minutes!!! When three were ice cream sundaes. Daughters came wrong which ended in years. Staff stood around doing nothing. Absolutely shame as the food was really nice, but for the price the service was an absolute shambles! We haven't been since the refurb 18 months ago and certainly won't rush back. If they can't cope with a half full restaurant I dread to think what service is like when it's busy. Also one slice of frozen garlic bread for £4 is an absolute joke!!!

Been here a fair few times and it used to be lovely. Came on Easter Sunday having pre booked it a couple of weeks before and it was very basic at best. Ordered pork that was supposed to come with crackling but it didn’t. Very small piece of pork most of which was fat. Parsnips and roast potato’s really hard and stale. Just a very bog standard dinner could get better at a cheap carvery place. Had someone asked what our food was like I would of mentioned it but they didn’t so we cut our losses and just paid and left after leaving most of it, I hate to make a deal out of things and as we had been before and it was really nice just ignored it however I have just been greeted with a lovely £100 parking ticket over two weeks after visiting. After looking at other reviews it seems this is a regular thing. Confused as to why this is needed as it’s more or less in the middle of nowhere and can’t see why you would park there if you wasn’t a customer. Had a have seen a sign I would have done whatever it is I needed to do? But obviously I didn’t and you would think if you was at risk of a £100 parking fine staff would mention it to you at seating or when you are booking a table. Most expensive and rubbish Sunday dinner ever.

Me and my family visited 1st April for a casual easter monday meal we come here every now and then but finally decieded to leave a review! Food is well presented and delicious, I myself had the mixed grill with the steak rare and some merlot beef dripping gravy coming to £24 as a chef myself I love a good mixed grill! steak was more of a medium rare but still tasty, all the other meats where also cooked well and delicous! everyone else in the party also enjoyed their meals too! Highly recommend!

Excellent food. Excellent service. Nothing too much trouble. Menu choice very good. Definitely recommended and we'll be visiting again.

Food overpriced for small portions, when I complained about my over cooked chicken burger, wasn't a burger but was 2 deepfried chicken strips, the managers reaction in customer service appalling. Won't be back.

Great experience. The food was outstanding and the service was brilliant. Arlie ensured we had everything we needed. He was very polite and friendly, ensuring we always had a drink on the table. The dessert I had was the nicest one I have ever had. Panacotta, I couldn’t fault it. Compliments to the chef. We shall definitely be returning. Thankyou

Visited earlier this week with a good friend for a catch up and meal after work. The food we ordered was really tasty although the risotto portion was rather small and could have been more substantial with a side salad. Would visit again.

Sorry guys. But this food was no better than wetherspoons. The only difference being the price. At least at spoons you know you expect low quality But the food today was appalling. Although the servers were amazing trying to rectify . I will not return again Good service poor food

My wife and I had fantastic stay at the Red Lion. The accommodation was wonderful. It looked brand new and the cleaners kept it spotless. The breakfast is to die for, so much choice. We also had an evening meal there again was delicious. The staff are all very friendly and must say, Jude on reception was fantastic, so helpful and pleasant.

I was quite disappointed by this place. The first time we went about a month or so ago, there was some sort of issue in the kitchen that meant there weren't many people there. However the food was absolutely fantastic as was the service. Been twice since and it's like a different place. Food tastes very mediocre and microwaved, and the staff seem irritated and overworked. Probably won't return again, I don't know if they have a different chef or are simply overwhelmed, but the roast dinner I got had a dry meagre serving of roast potatoes, the saddest pigs in blankets you've ever seen and the gravy tasted like knock off bisto. Giving 3 stars purely because of how amazing the first experience was.

We were a party of 3 elderly couples. One couple were staying overnight to meet up for an evening meal as they no longer lived close to this area, but were celebrating birthday. We had an excellent meal, 3 had Sea Bass, 1 Fish and...

Food was OK, usual cash & carry/Bookers Food Service pre-assembled ready meals presented as "home cooked" or "home made" The main let down for me was the staff and the service. We were seated in the aisle near a door to the outside. We asked for a different table away from the the bustle and the cold draft and were told "no". Not "I'm sorry that's not possible" or given a reason such as all the other tables were reserved, just "no" We also couldn't hold a conversation without being constantly interrupted by the staff, every five minutes they came past and tried upsell us more drinks or asking if we wanted more sides. As soon as we had finished our starters our plates were taken, and the same with the mains, it was though they were watching for the last forkful of food to be eaten. When they took the plates away for the mains the server actually reached in front of the person next to me while they were showing family photos on their phone. As soon as the main plates were cleared we were asked about dessert and as soon as the word “no”, as in “No, we couldn't manage to eat anything else” , came out of my mouth the server walked off and came back with the bill/card machine. They didn't even wait until I had finished speaking. I felt as though we were an inconvenience and rushed out of the place as fast as humanly possible. One and done, no more of my money for you

food was cold and hard and felt like the standard of the presentation was rushed and things was missing rude waiter called Arlie he came up with an attitude and basked what i like to eat and i told him if i could change one thing for something else and he wasn't pleased about it and rolled his eyes up in the air he then chatted to another girl who was also taking food order about me and i felt like i was on the edge all the time he was watching me eat my tea/ dinner and was rushing me to get me to leave he was chatting to the same food order take about the food runner called ben and say he was crap at his job he didn't have any manners when asking how was my meal and when i told him it was cold he said nothing and walked off and said ill speak to the chef in an attitude way won't be coming back until it gets sored thanks john

Yet another glorious meal out with the Fam at The Red Lion at Todwick. Arlie, Mia and Laura were very friendly and welcoming. Definitely recommend

Myself and my family came for our first family meal out since lockdown restrictions have eased and wasn’t disappointed. We were shown to our table and explained the rules and nearest toilets. Drinks order was taken promptly from the table whilst we decided what to have to eat.The food arrived after about 20 minutes was fresh, hot and tasty. Fab meal, quick efficient service and most importantly felt safe. Thank you red lion we will be back.

As always, me and my family enjoyed a gorgeous meal at the Red Lion, lovely food, coupled with great service. Would recommend

We'd booked for a family meal for Sunday as it was our daughters 21st birthday. When we arrived we were met by the host Laura W ( there's 2 Laura's) who explained all the Covid restrictions to us. The bar looked very colourful with it being "Pride Month". We were seated and Laura explained that our waitress would be with us shortly to take our drinks order. There's a great selection of drinks especially the Gin with over 30 different types for the birthday girl to try. Both Laura M and Michelle took our food / drinks orders. Some of us had starters that were brought out in a timely manner. Our mains were hot and plentiful, highly recommend the Lamb Shoulder it just melts in your mouth. We where given time to think about desserts and given time to relax before ordering them. The atmosphere was calm with low music in the background, staff are wonderful, polite and couldn't do enough. Thank you also to the bar staff, Amie and Cameron. We will be back again soon for another meal.

I had arranged to meet with a colleague from work to have a catch-up and to see how he was doing. When we arrived everything seemed smooth, we were promptly taken to our pre-booked table and drinks were ordered. The first drinks order was a large Coke and a Carling (or similar). When the drinks arrived the alcoholic one was Stella instead of the requested drink. Not a huge issue and it was promptly rectifiedWe then ordered our food & this is where it all went wrong. I had ordered nachos for starter, with the Meatless Farmers Burger & a side of onion rings for my main course. What came out first was some sort of Brie with celery (don't even know what it was - but it clearly wasn't my vegetarian burger)After questioning the waitress about it she checked the system and said that it had been put through as the wrong order and would get my order sorted. Around 25-30 minutes later my meal arrived, after demolishing the nachos and my colleague had finished his mealI understand we are all getting back to normal life and after so long out things will be a bit rusty, but this was totally avoidable and to be honest, I can't actually see how it went wrong - it is not as if a burger or something similar came out - it was something that was totally at the other end of the scale!I was given a free Coke as compensation, but I was overall disappointed with the service.That said, the meatless burger was a winner (when it finally arrived). Very tasty and the chips were lovely tooI don't think I will be returning anytime soon, but I wish you the very best and I hope you can improve your service from here within.

After waiting an hour and a half with family for our food, we were all disgusted and disappointed that items were missing and food was obviously microwaved to warm it up. The meat on the the triple meat was only pork and a little piece of dried up hard and tough beef, NO baked apple and then when we asked for it we were given a slice of apple. No one had a good meal, Yorkshire pudding was hard and chewy, cauliflower cheese was grey. We paid almost £100 with 1 and a half rounds of drinks and 5 meals. Please avoid if you enjoy home cooked food as this was diabolical. Pay a few pounds extra and go to a restaurant that actually cares about their customers and the quality of the food served. We wilk never be coming here again. Don't take paying cusfor idiots, it has been lockdown and furlough for lots of us. Disappointed is an understatement.

Fantastic meal with great service and a big thank you to Jess our server. Will definitely be back when we visit the wonderful north again.

I visited this place since in the first week of it’s really-opening and honestly I can’t say a bad word about it! They have everything planned out so safely and the staff really know what they are doing! They are all so helpful and the service was 5* ! Track and trace was explained at the door and the host explained all the rules very clearly. Our food was delicious (signature burger and beef pie) and the portion sizes were amazing! The atmosphere was great and everyone was adhering to the rules in place. All in all the red lion is a great place to visit and I would highly recommend! We will definitely be back soon!

What a wonderful time had by all.From start to finish it was perfect, the staff couldn't do enough for us.Timing on everything was spot on, drinks served quickly and food served at the right pace.Thank you to all the team for making the day

Hi writing to say cannot put word how good are meal my meal was mussle yes in white wine and frys and partner meal a meat pie chips with vegetables and sed was fantastic and friends Joan was gammon eggs chips then yes love tip to red lion then yes do go lots yes think allway very good and must the staff are ace to yes and pudding was very good to from very very happy miss Victoria Jane twibell xxxx very good for the price then

After being recommended this pub/restaurant I thought I would give it a try. Came on the 11th October for Sunday lunch and throughout the experience I was very impressed. Large car park, excellent door host explaining all the rules. Ordered beef dinner and my friend ordered a trio and it was gorgeous. The selection on beers and wines was great and went down a treat. The service was top notch and cannot fault this place at all. Looking forward to booking again.

Ok ... that’s the best I can say. Ok ... that’s the best I can say. Ok ... that’s the best I can say. Again

On arrival at the red lion I was greeted in a friendly manner and checked in with no problems even though it was late. Because I was staying for 2 weeks I was told I'd been given a nice quiet room to make sure I was comfortable and settled for my stay! I ate at the restaurant and the food and service was really good!! The place is immaculate and the team are all over cleanliness and making sure you feel safe. Would 100% reccomend!! Well done to the team at the red lion!!

I keep coming back just hoping that this this time the food maybe on par but nope total let down again so my lesson if finally learned. Disappointed to say the least

Michelle was our waitress she was friendly attentive and completely professional. I met my mum and sister for the 1st time in 5 months of not seeing them and I would reccomend this pub. The food was great but the service is by far worth coming here.

Booked here for our first meal out in quite a long time and our first since lockdown. Had to book a table which we did via the website - very easy process and they were expecting us when we arrived. Good procedures in place for social distancing and several ways to order. We decided to use the app - with quite a bit of trepidation! These things never work! But within a very short time of placing the order our drinks arrived, quickly followed by our starters. As soon as starters were finished we had a couple of minutes wait for main course. Also ordered another drink via the app and this came very quickly. The only slight negative - we hadn’t realised they stopped taking orders at 9pm (didn’t notice any mention on the menu- but perhaps we were too excited at having a night out). Tried to order desserts and a couple of drinks via the app - we started the process about 8:59pm and by the time we had finished it was about 9:02pm and we couldn’t order! Didn’t realise it was a time issue (thought it was an app malfunction) so went to the order point and although we were out of time a lovely lady put our order through and we got our puds. So that was all sorted and not really a negative - perhaps us not reading the signs. The place wasn’t crowded as you see on tv. Social distancing was being observed and all staff were wearing masks. Service was excellent - all staff were very friendly and couldn’t fault them at all. The food was good. But as with most chain pubs it wasn’t freshly prepared- they have to follow the corporate guidelines so everything is cooked from the freezer. One tiny comment was the garlic mushrooms were very soggy when you bit into them - partly garlic butter but maybe frozen a bit too long - not sure but didn’t detract from the meal. Everything was piping hot - I’m never too sure how they get it that hot!! For a chain pub we had a good meal with excellent service. Just wish pubs would go back to cooking food from raw ingredients but I guess the trend is away from this. I will go back

Stayed there recently. Jude was brilliant on reception with answering queries and trying to get various things sorted. However, getting an evening meal was quite difficult until Jude again helped out. WiFi was very poor. Got a signal on phone but not on laptop. Room was fine and comfortable. Breakfast was fine too. Would go back but I would recommend eating elsewhere in the evening.Big thanks again though to Jude for all her help.

Went with family members,group of seven.Very friendly staff who throughout the meal,were on hand if we needed anything from extra portions or drinks to entertaining grandaughter Grace.We all had starters & all agreed were excellent.The mains followed & all meals were enjoyed & praised.I can recommend the macaroni cheese,very tasty & filling & the signature Gammon meal looked delicious.In all a lovely place to eat,great atmosphere & I Thank you for a memorable evening.

The place itself is nice, staff were nice but food rubbish. Don't know how they can call some of the meals signature dishes. For the price portion sizes are very small. I've been before for meals which were better but the last twice I've been the meals have definitely gone down in food quality.

Went for evening meal with friends and had the veggie pie with the chips, the chips were stone cold so we requested a change which took a long, long time. My friend had pretty much finished her meal by the time it arrived and no real apology throughout, so not impressed really.

Just returned back from the red lion , had a lovly meal couldn't fault it at all , staff was very helpful and pleasant.

Travelled couple of hours to meet in laws for new years eve drink, we were there 5pm very Rudely abruptly told was shut (even though people at the bar) private party starting 7pmBar manager was extremely rude and dismissive, in laws are regular locals won't be going back!! Went toLeeds Arms lovely friendly pub!!

My pal had hunters chicken, sent 2 lots back, dry, jacket potato awful. Lasagne had garnish which was just lettace. Burger meal had end of plastic packet in it, won't go again...

Overnight stay. Very friendly staff, comfortable room (dog friendly) and lovely breakfast. Highly recommend

Absolutely brilliant! We booked for 2 nights and ended up staying for 3 we loved it so much! Warm, cosy MASSIVE room!! Brekkie is to die for! The receptionist goes above and beyond to accommodate you! (We think she must sleep there behind the desk) our only Criticism would be one staff member, a small, stroppy blonde woman! Very abrasive, we spent over £200.00 visiting our family there in one day, and she hounded us all evening about our bill, even though the room had our card number! Even my 67 year old mother remarked that she made us feel like criminals! Get rid of her and your rating will be 5 out of 5 xxxx

Since our house was flooded during the horrible floods over the last week, our insurance company have kindly placed us at the hotel and we're due to check out next monday (this will probably be extended).The staff are extremely friendly and are always asking how we're getting on and if theres anything they can do to help further. Few things i'd say that needs to be improved is the wi-fi signal, we were getting full signal when staying in room 26, when we moved to 14, the signal disappeared along with the phone signal. i know this cant be helped with it being an old building but some sort of boosters at the back of the hotel may help. the only other thing that i'd say is that there needs to be plug sockets at the side of the beds as they are all at the other side of the room which is abit of a pain. All in all, lovely hotel, lovely staff, lovely breakfast.

I Would Like To Say My Partner & I Enjoyed Another Nice Break At The Red Lion The Room Was Lovely & Clean The Lady On Reception Was Very Helpfull Dinner Was Good & At Breakfast My Partner Needs Lactose Free Milk The Waitor Pulled Out All The Stops To Make Sure She Had It Which Was Not In Stock At The Time

I am far from a food snob, but uncooked oven chips, a mushroom pie with one mushroom in it, and a crumble desert which was still frozen, is not what i would expect when dining out. Good luck anyone that eats there. Staff were polite

Over 3 weeks ago offered a job as housekeeper.10-16hrs a week .Sounds good but was told I had to do health and safety training online before I start working .

Had a fantastic time very friendly good food,staff couldn't do enough for you,great atmosphere,would definitely book again.

We were up visiting the area and chose this place to stay. It is only a mile or so from Junction 31 on the M1 so very east to find. There is a large free car park at the hotel so parking is not a problem. The pub is an old traditional pub, lots of character and features. Staff are super friendly, always greeted with a warm welcome and smile. The rooms are a good size, coffee and tea in the room, also shower gel and soap. The bed is a super king and very comfortable. Ironing board and iron plus a fan if you need either. Breakfast is very good, a good selection of cereal, fruits yogurts and pastries, plus the good old cooked, veggi option available, lots of extras as well. well worth a stop over if you need somewhere to stay in the area.

Warning to all men under the age of 30, if you want to attend a grab a granny night then this is the place for you. I stayed here overnight curtesy of work and I can ensure you it will be the last. I came down for food and I’ve never seen as many middle aged women trying to chat up young blokes. It got to the point where it was extremely uncomfortable and embarrassing, I even heard the couple next to me commenting. The food was decent enough, it was the clientele who made it uncomfortable. I later found out this a Tinder hotspot!! I’m a female in my 20’s and I can ensure I’m a not narrow minded but this place was certainly an eye opener!!

Need to up your game 1. Try to serve fresh foods 2. Find some quality 3. Need to deliver dishes hot 4. Meat should not be dry 5.Super disappointment

This pub is about half way time wise between where the Mrs and I live, and her mum's house. As it's near the motorway and our onward route and has a big car park, this makes it a great place to meet or have a rest stop.

We arrived around 2.30pm for a meal for two, it seemed very quiet and there were not many customers around, despite this there were tables with dirty plates left for some considerable time. We ordered our meals and 35 minutes later my husband asked about our meals, the meals arrived a minute later and a member of staff apologised. I had fish and chips and I’m sorry to say that the batter was a little greasy. It is a shame the service wasn’t as good as it could be as we went with a view to visiting on a regular basis as new meals are to be added to the menu. There is a lot of competition in this area so unsure if we will go back again.

Lovely food friendly staff. Pleased we stopped unexpectedly on our route north. Fish & chips excellent and chocolate brownie to die for

I spoke with a lady on phone who was extremely rude and couldn’t wait to put the phone down. I think the lady who answered the phone needs to get trained in customer service as you will lose custom by the rudeness of this member of staff. Do not call this place if you want to be greeted abruptly..try emailing instead!!

just had a mixed grill. best I have eaten in a long time. my friend had rhubarb blackcurrant crumble with custard dessert. I had a taste and excellent. will be going back very soon.

I had 3 breakfasts and 3 dinners at this restaurant and, apart from first evening when food was rather average and service was slow, confused and not really responding to our requests/orders, it was fantastic service from all the staff (more senior staff guidance was obvious on the other days) with great food and reasonable price.

we had a table booked for 7pm, we had to preorder our meals and we still waited over half n hour for our starters. and then another 45 mins for our mains. the gravy was thick with a skin on it & my Yorkshire pudding was all flat n soggy. i would say it wasn't worth the cost of the meal, we all had 3 courses which normally I would just have one. will not go again.

Great menu choice. Lovely staff. Attractive pub with character. Easy parking and easy to find from Junction 31 of the M1.

Been here many times over the last few years. Having not been for a few months we decided to call in. Wish we hadn’t. The Pate starter was lovely. I wish I’d had that twice. The nachos were dry and tasteless. The main - fish was dry and over cooked. The fishcake came with its own hair! This was sent back and we weren’t charged for this. The service was abysmal. The time taken for our starter to arrive was just acceptable. The time between starter and main was ludicrous. Perhaps they had to catch the fish before over cooking tho? The waitress service was not what I expect from The Red Lion, our plates were taken without us being asked if we had finished. One of our party hadn’t but her plate was taken anyway. We were not offered a children’s menu so assumed they didn’t do children’s meals only to find out half way thru our meal that they did. And the waitress continued to refer to us as ‘my darling’. This is the Red Lion. Not a back street boozer. Will be giving this place a wide berth for a while and hope they get things sorted and return to a place that serves lovely food and gives great service.

Lovely hotel handy for the motorway, nice bar with great atmosphere. Good choice of food and drink served by lovely friendly staff. Room are comfortable and the receptionist is very welcoming.

Great food and service, Portion size was just right and food was cooked well and red hot would recommend trying it. Only negative comment would be price of pints think £4:15 is a bit overpriced

Called in today what a lovely spacious place and plenty of comfortable seats. The meal was excellent and beautifully presented,staff very friendly. My friend had Salmon it was delicious and I had Ham beautiful . Will definitely be going back highly recommend it .

Met up with a dear friend for some lunch at The Red Lion. The food was lovely. We ordered sandwiches which were freshly prepared and served with a side salad. Staff were friendly. Would like to try a full meal so will definitely visit again.

Great place to stop for food. Large car park, lots of room in side, good management of available tables/ pre-booked tables. Friendly and welcoming waiter, great food and service.

Myself and my partner stayed here last night. We had drinks in the bar the service was good and were well looked after. The room that we stayed in was really nice and had everything that u needed. The breakfast was a mixture of full english and continental and couldnt fault it. Would definatly stay here again

Stay regularly as quite central/good motorway access... nice staff. Good food, value for money. Love the Eggs Benedict for breakfast... recommend to business travellers that are bored with standard chain hotels, a bit different.

My 4 year old son is allergic to milk and egg, the staff are very helpful and had lots of options including dessert which is rare!

Have been before for various meals and always found it to be fine. Went yesterday for Sunday Lunch and it was disgusting. Supposedly topside of beef and pork loin with crackling and apples...no crackling or apples and meat was fatty and tasteless, l

Service was great, however food needs improving yet again. Chicken wings starter was frozen in the middle, was replaced immediately but was nuked in the microwave. Lasagne was nice but again feel it had been microwaved. Sirloin steak was cooked medium rare as requested but the steak was tough and grisely (I normally like a bit of fat on my steak but this was just chewey gristle)

We have visited here before and it has been lovely. This time it was with family for dinner on Saturday night. A couple of the meals were ok. My husband had the goats cheese macaroni cheese, I had the ordinary macaroni cheese. They looked and tasted the same. The childrens meals looked dry......but they ate them without complaint. Our waitress was pleasant and patient. Another waitress was a bit cross with herself, perhaps she was having a bad day.

Fantastic convenient stopover. Lovely quiet room with King bed. Great bar and restaurant with amazing breakfast. Would definitely stay again.

Stopped overnight travelling home on business. Staff were very friendly on check in and in bar and restaurant. Room was massive and excellent value for money. Great meal in the restaurant- will definitely stay again.

Found by accident but what a great night. Excellent choice of good that was well presented by friendly staff. A good night was had.

We came here for Boxing Day lunch and I never wish to repeat the experience again! The food was absolutely atrocious and to be quite honest, dreadful value for money. Having pre-booked we were informed that a number of dishes were unavailable. The steak was tough, roast potatoes undercooked (pretty sure much of the veg was left over from Xmas Day) and the salmon tart was literally doused in an inedible hollandaise sauce although it could have quite easily been left over custard. Avoid!

My family and I ate here on Christmas Eve , we booked last minute as our other reservation fell through , we haven’t eaten here in a while as we have had a couple of disappointing meals but I’m really glad we gave it another try .We were seated quickly and every member of staff we encountered were lovely ! The food was served in good time and was piping hot we thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon.Overall a great experience

My wife luckily won a voucher in a school raffle for a 2-course meal for 2 at The Red Lion, & I'm very glad she took me along

We had a family Xmas get together here.

Called in for food, was busy but was seated quickly. We both had a Sunday roast, was one of the best Sunday roasts we have had, except the carrots were really hard...other than that the food was lovely.
