I have been coming here on-off for the last 10 years and up until yesterday I have only ever had an amazing experience - from the atmosphere to the food. However, it’s clear that since it’s been taken over the pub has gone down hill. Their vegan roasts used to be one of the best in east London, and now they don’t even have one as an option! Even the vegetarian option was an aubergine bake…so not even a proper roast! Absolutely bizarre for a pub to go backwards on this - we ended up having the only option available, a burger and chips, which I can only rate poorly; bland, dry and drenched in mustard, accompanied by pale cold chips. No matter which day of the week you’d go to this pub, it would be heaving, and yesterday it was dead, on a Sunday afternoon. So sad! They also used to have live jazz in the evening but that has stopped too. Not sure why anyone would buy a clearly successful pub and change all the good bits about it, I can only imagine it’ll continue to decline! Such a shame because it really was a fabulous pub with amazing atmosphere

Just held our Anniversary at the Red Lion, what a fantastic place to hold any event. Relatives and friends were amazed at the wonderful décor and atmosphere. Everyone had a brilliant time and our thanks to the staff who were so accommodating, especially Angela and Kevin who couldn't have done more for us. The rooms were fantastic, as was the buffet. This is the perfect venue to hold an event. We all love this pub, Our special thanks to everyone involved in making it such a memorable evening.

Early afternoons at weekends: a swarm of lower middle class, ‘well behaved’, but staid individuals with baby buggies (sadly, including occupants) descend. By the end of their ‘sessions’, one can almost imagine the kids being decanted from the pushchair only to be replaced by one of the quaffing parents, the other one being tasked with pushing them home. During the week, at least some order appears, but there is a very small group (3-5) of rather basic, judgemental men (as usual!) standing at the far right (appropriately enough) of the bar and making disparaging comments about customers, without being challenged by either staff or management. The staff are relatively welcoming, long-suffering and efficient, though the strong support of management is needed to challenge this very small group of ‘regulars’ standing confidently and seemingly with impunity, at the bar. I have never attended a live music event, but I hear that they are good. Food prices seem a bit pricey to me. Drinks are, of course, much more expensive than Wetherspoon’s, but then again, it’s a choice between a nice, calm, pleasant venue (i.e., here) or one that resembles, at times, a night shelter. There are no mirrors in the Gents- just as well considering the state of the men I’ve seen here.

Avoid for any major football matches. I’ve been to the Red Lion for the England World Cup semi-final in 2018, the Euro 2021 Final, and many other big England games and it's been brilliant. However last night for the Euro 2024 Final they really rubbed salt into the wound and it was the worst experience I have seen for a major sporting event. It was comical how unprepared they were. There were no seats for people who had booked in the ballroom, asking paying customers to carry chairs upstairs, then totally running out of chairs and making people stand for the full game. There was nowhere near enough staff for the main bar, queues of 40 mins upwards before the game, and no staff at all to open the ballroom bar which remained closed for those who had booked to be there. Also no real sound in the ballroom for the match. It was like they didn't know the final was happening, which is a shame as they have put on great events in previous tournaments but it was a total shambles last night. Overall awful service from a once great pub.

Stayed at the hotel and had diner in the pub. Both were really nice experiences. Rooms are beautifully decorated and are up to date. Pub is old and has beautifull charactere, fun live music and even a festival when we where there. Food was great and fresh. We had a room at the top floor, at the back of the building, we did not hear any noise of the party (was untill 2 am). Neighboorhd is also really nice and good underground connection to the whole of Londen due to the 'Central line'. Only remark is that the room gets hot really easily and the shower had a bit of damage due to knob easily faling down (could be easily fixed with a screw, but seemed to be neglected)

I've visited numerous bars and pubs in London but never encountered such unwelcoming behavior until now. I felt that the staff at this particular bar were discriminatory. Despite waiting patiently for around 30 minutes to place my order, others behind me were served promptly. It made me wonder if our treatment was influenced by our ethnicity. My friends and I were left feeling embarrassed by the blatant disregard we experienced over a simple drink order. Such behavior is utterly unacceptable, and it's imperative for this establishment to hire staff who are inclusive and respectful.

Appalling service. Waited for a portion of chips for 40 minutes, asked waiter (brunette lady, red lipstick) about the delay, to which she said ‘just wait & be patient’ & walked away as I was mid sentence. Made me feel embarrassed for even asking. No apology whatsoever.

It was a lovely evening and a great vibe up until the barmaid lost her temper. I was a little hoarse and couldn't hear well over the music but essentially the 3rd drink was very clearly not a brandy and coke. When I explained and wrote on my phone it was a brandy and coke I asked for she became disproportionately angry. I hoped to salvage the situation by asking what the 3rd drink was so that maybe we could have taken it and added a 4th drink to the bill but she wouldn't tell me what it was and kept making out I was trying to gaslight her and avoid paying for drinks. It was extremely confusing, unexpected, aggressive and unnecessary. Finally I spoke to the manager who she called over to 'deal with me' and he just got us the 3rd drink we'd asked for and we paid the bill. It definitely ruined an otherwise great evening and we left as soon as the drinks were finished

Booked a table for Mother’s Day, got there - it was heaving. Our table hadn’t been reserved, we were left waiting at the bar for 20 minutes, I’m 8 months pregnant and we have a toddler so this wasn’t ideal. Finally got sat at a dirty table I had to ask for, went to order food and got told they’d stopped taking orders. Another customer basically told us to leave while we could, so we did. This is peak afternoon, they were just too busy. Terrible. These things happen but the staff didn’t even care about the situation or apologise.

Really nice pub visit, had been meaning to go there for a while, but didn't get the chance! Upon entering found it to be very spacious and welcoming. They had a band on when we went which was fun, and we found it was friendly towards kids. The staff were also really nice, friendly and welcoming (which sometimes is quite rare!) The food (starters and mains) were tasty, better then most of the pubs we've been to recently! The only thing that let it down were the desserts, they didn't taste great at all, a bit of a strange flavour to them but all in all we'd definitely go to the pub again and more often too!

Spectacular roast. Been a while since we had a decent Sunday roast in a pub but we couldn't fault this. Beef was edge to edge pink but fat was rendered. Potatoes were fluffy/crispy and the variety of veg was great (sweet carrots, buttery leeks and sharp cabbage). Cauliflower cheese side was also the perfect consistency and well seasoned. House wine was a great value Romanian red. Really wasn't expecting much but will 100% be back for the food, clearly they've focused on quality here. Have paid a lot more in supposed gastropubs and been disappointed. Selection of beers and vibe was also great, but this was expected.

I think this is probably the most Normal boozer on the high street. I wish the outdoor area had less sand. Seldom see families with small children in here which is definitely a plus for me. the prices are so-so, despite being in zone 4 they're keeping us grounded and reminding us leytonstone is still a part of london with them. There are cheaper pints about but it's got a cosier atmosphere than wetherspoons and it's not overpopulated with IPAs. I've never tried the food but judging by how overrun it seems to be with OAP's on sundays i imagine getting a table requires some pre-planning.

We booked here as we have family living nearby and they highly recommended this hotel. Unfortunately the day before we are were due to arrive, my partner fell ill with covid. As it was so late, I fully expected the best case scenario to be offered a date change and worst case, having to pay the full room rate for the missed night. I phoned the hotel and the gentleman who answered could not have been more helpful or polite. He immediately cancelled the booking, said he would waive the fee and wished my partner a speedy recovery. We will definitely be staying and using the restaurant here in the future. Top notch customer. Service and given by a small company that could easily have been justified in not refunding given the short notice. Thank you!

One of the better pubs the Leyton/Leytonstone area. Only been for Sunday Lunch but atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed. Could have spent all day there. Had Beef roast, good meat (and generous) also the red cabbage was great. Spuds could have been more crisp and gravy could of had more power. Also had double cheese burger, cauliflower harrissa hummus, leek/cauliflower bake, pardon peppers, sausage roll. Sausage roll was the highlight. Everything else was good pub food but to take it to the next level could have done with everything being amped up a bit on the flavour. Very good prices on wine and local ales.

I’ve lived in Leytonstone for ten years, and the Red Lion used to be an exciting, comforting and progressive feeling pub. Sadly as many noted it’s not only the food that’s declined but the service and general feeling of being welcomed. After trying it again today, it still hasn’t got any better, and as many others will attest your find a much more pleasant experience in one of the neighbouring pubs. Not wanting this pub to fail, I really do hope you get your spark back and become the welcoming Leytonstone local you once were.

When voicing a concern regarding creepy and unsafe behaviour from a fellow patron in front of and towards other members of the public, particularly vulnerable women, rather than removing the offending, potentially dangerous individual, the pub security just told us to move tables if we were uncomfortable. This is disgusting. You shouldn’t be waiting until assault has happened to remove the perpetrator. If the comfort of a perverted regular is More important than the safety of women, you should be shut down.

Not a child friendly pub. The website advertises a full children's menu but it doesn’t actually have one. We brought my two year old there for his birthday and there was no kids food nor would the supervisor ask the kitchen to make anything child size or friendly. The very limited menu only had fried food on it and it was not very nice at all. I was genuinely surprised at how unhelpful the supervisor was - blaming management for not changing the website but did nothing to accommodate for the children. Bar staff are nice but other than that no reason to go back given the bad service, greasy food and long wait for everything, including a plate of oily hummus.

Ayer, mi familia y yo fuimos al Red Lion para una cena asada. Todas las mesas a nuestro alrededor se sentaron mucho más tarde, pero recibieron sus asados antes que los nuestros. Todas las camareras que visitaron nuestra mesa fueron educadas y serviciales, pero cuando finalmente pedimos ver al gerente, tuvimos una experiencia completamente diferente. En primer lugar, estaba sonriendo ante nuestras preguntas sobre la tardanza de los alimentos antes de que se volviera muy confrontativa y agresiva. Más tarde pedí otro Marty sangriento, pero descubrí que era ridículamente picante, tanto que era indescifrable. Luego se acercó y dijo que no fue después de que la vi hacerlo.Cómo esta dama está en una posición de poder, pero sigue siendo tan grosera con el personal y los clientes, me supera.

I've had a fair amount of bad experiences with the food at the Red Lion in the past two years, with a lot of the food served being mind-bogglingly bad (i.e some advice - avoid the fish and chips unless you want to try London's worst pub fish and chips) but due to its prominence in Leytonstone, every few months I go back to try again and try to write the past off as a random bad experience.

We've been loyal customers of the Red Lion for many years, enjoying Sunday lunches, live music, good beer and the garden in the summer. We booked last week for lunch yesterday for 10 people at 12.30pm, adding an extra person by phone on Monday. When we arrived, there was no record of our booking and Carl, the manager, had to ask a couple at a table to move so that he could put two tables together. We were chatting and didn't order food for a while, but nobody came to our table to take a drinks order- we went to the bar ourselves. We were given menus and not told of any unavailability. 5 of us decided we'd like fish and chips, but when Carl took the order, he said there were only 2 portions left. By the time we'd made alternative choices, there was only one portion. He said that it wasn't his fault- the chef had failed to tell him the fish delivery hadn't come! We were astounded, but ordered other items, which took an age to arrive. I tried to make light of the situation but Carl continued to be defensive and almost downright hostile. Some friends reported that the food was ok, but most found the portions stingy and overcooked. My salad was mostly raw cabbage, but by this time I'd lost the will to live. One friend reported that he's never seen such disgusting toilets. When told, we found Carl again defensive- nothing seemed to be his responsibility. We requested a reduction to our bill, which was granted, but we went home disappointed and our festive spirit had been dampened. it didn't help that many of us were still hungry.

Reservé el almuerzo para un grupo de 15 personas, confirmé en persona unos días antes y vi la reserva en el diario de reservas.

This pub is clearly cashing in on the fashionable uplift of the area, no real problem with that. However both drinks and food are expensive for what they are. They serve some good beer, but it is significantly dearer than other pubs nearby. I have been here twice in the last week, on both occasions the service at the bar has been slow to the point of comedy, there are plenty of staff, however they appear to be doing everything but serving drinks. On both occasions customers at the bar have ended up joking about dying of thirst , whilst staff stood talking in the kitchen, waited on tables and made up drinks trays for tables etc. The food is poor for the price, small portions and a triumph of style over content. There was a lot of red chilli added to a vegetable , that was not specified on the menu. To be fair to the pub, I was provided with a replacement when I spoke to them about this, so perhaps I am being a bit harsh about that. However, in my view it is poor value. The staff need to be better organised.

Visiting London and staying nearby. Came in around 7pm, had a really good meal - I had burger, very nice while others had fish and chips; fish was nice and lightly battered, really good food for only around £10-12.

The food is very indifferent as is the service. If you still serve roast Sunday lunch at 5pm then please make an effort. It was luke warm, arrived within 5 minutes of the order and the service was disinterested. What a shame. It has been an asset living nearby but competition is increasing locally. Time for a shake up.

Went in for an evening meal, lucky enough to find a table. Nice place with lovely atmosphere. We all had fish and chips and 3 were covered in too much salt, one couldnt be eaten because that's all you could taste. Disappointing as it looked and felt so welcoming.

Habíamos hablado con Carl, que era el Gerente de Red Lion, y él estuvo de acuerdo en dejarnos despertar a nuestros Padres en el salón de baile de The Red Lion. Queríamos un lugar y una fiesta para darle a mi papá una buena despedida y fue una noche fantástica. Carl y su equipo hicieron todo lo posible para hacer lo que pudieran para ayudar con el evento. Fueron útiles y realmente nos ayudaron a hacer que la noche fuera lo mejor posible. También manejaron nuestro buffet y fue absolutamente encantador. Especialmente los rollos de salchicha vegetariana. Todos literalmente hablaron de lo agradable que fue el evento y la ubicación y no pudieron creer que estuvieran en un velatorio.

Normally great food but the fish had too thick batter which made it soggy on the inside but crispy on outside.

Almuerzo ordenados y cuando llego nos estalló riendo! ! La segunda cosa que hice fue pedir nuestro dinero. Sinceramente deseo que había tomado una foto. Este fue destinado a ser un Plowman's. Sabes tradicional. Madre mía, no lo era. fue horrible. Evitar esta opción de menú, o pedir la oportunidad para reír en voz alta.

We all had the fish and chips as usual but it was so disappointing. Very thick batter so the inside was not cooked. Neither was fish cooked due to the thickness. We had to leave much of what is usually an excellent meal here.

Hemos visitado este pub local muchas veces desde que fue tomada. He tenido algunas comidas que han sido buenas, pero nunca un asado los domingos hasta este fin de semana. Nuestro amigo acababa de correr el medio maratón, así fue Hackney , las ganas de un buen asado. Fue una decepción. Los consumidores de carne de vacuno se cortó dijo que el demasiado gruesas y era demasiado cocido. Estamos verduras por lo que elegimos la única opción - un quiche con el asado. Nos pareció que este una combinación muy extraño - era! Sólo puedo asumir que en realidad el chef nunca ha probado el quiche o probados por personal/amigos. La pastelería era incomible, nos dejaron en el plato y la abundante solo era pasable. Por alguna razón las verduras no nos dieron un budín de Yorkshire. Obligatoriamente con una buena cena con asado. Patatas eran la regla, así como el resto de las penosas verduras. 1 pieza de brócoli y 1 pieza de zanahoria. No parsnip. En general no recomendaría una cena de asado en la Red Lion a cualquiera. Además justo antes estábamos listos para salir, nos dimos cuenta de que uno de los vasos de agua que tenía labios. Inaceptable. El servicio era amable y eficiente.

Encuentre aquí con un amigo para bebidas y algo de comida una tarde. Me sorprendió la transformación de este lugar, que ha pasado por algunas manos chungas y recuerdo cuando era la horrible etcetera, ahora es la original es Red Lion, un encantador lugar muy acogedor y relajante, con mesas, bancas y asientos cómodos para beber o comer. Hacen una selección de cervezas que se pueden probar antes de comprar, y el servicio fue muy bueno, desde el personal de bar. Comimos allí y la comida era deliciosa, así que tome un bocado cuando su. Es familiar con parejas en su haber con algunos cafés y comida a los niños que estaban muy bien educados. Si su Pop calificación incluso con la familia como quedará gratamente sorprendido, sobre la hora de calificación tenía algunos buenos lugares para beber como este.

Definitely the classier local pub for us, we semi-regularly attend the Monday Pub Quiz, but rarely eat here due to high prices. Can't justify a fiver for popcorn chicken with KFC next door!

The Haddock was even better than Harry Ramsden ! Chips were delicious and crispy. Good size portions. Friendly staff. Do give this pub a try. It is so worth it!

Estado aquí un par de veces para tomar una copa y quería probar la comida como el menú parecía genial. Realmente decepcionado y verdadera decepción por la calidad de los alimentos. Apenas pasada, patatas fritas caseras, por debajo de la media hamburguesa, opción la fritura de maíz vegetariano brunch muy pobre. Precioso lugar espacioso y buen ambiente. En el aspecto de gestión de esperanza como algo de comida decente podría hacer que este lugar fantástico.

Sitio personal increíble, agradable, pero la seguridad es realmente desagradable. Así que parece que el pub como es la política propia en lo que concernía sólo en personas por encima de 21 años, pero me dejaron entrar con mi 19 años viejo amigo. Cuando mi hermano venga despues ya no dejes que él porque él parecía joven y él es 18 años! Me dijo que si no tenía pelo rapada tal es aspecto mayores suficiente para entrar! Vino el gerente y no dejes que en sabiendo que todos nosotros ya estaban dentro de beber con un amigo de 19 años así! Así que simplemente aplique su "propio" con personas que les gusta! No son justos!

Visited this restaurant on Saturday with friends, it was a large group and from the moment we arrived the service was simply brilliant; tables where rearranged to accommodate us, The table service was frequent but not over bearing. No issues with the food from any of that party, some had lamb some had chicken some had fish everything was perfect can't fault it. I had the bait fish for a starter and it was absolutely gorgeous my partner had the calamari and that too was soft and beautiful. Then after dinner and moments to chill the real fun started they had an authentic belly dancer who was absolutely beautiful and she did some crazy dancing with a sword and it was just entertaining the whole place got excited and loved it.

Cheap cuts of meat ! Staff not overly friendly and when it's busy you can see the pressure on the staff and they become not so friendly sadly !!

We went for a midweek dinner (didn't stay in the hotel as we live locally). Its probably 15 years since I last visited the Hitchcock, and it wasn't very busy. The menu is short but the food was both very good and good value (recommend the chicken schnitzel in particular). The usual range of drinks were at the bar, and we stuck to beer. The service was very good, and the restaurant manager, Josh, has a good way of building rapport with customers
