The refurb is wonderful, much needed and it is so nice to see the pub back as a busy neighbourhood local as it should be. The garden transformation in particular is great. However, it is a real shame that families can't sit out there due to smokers covering all areas. We live locally and visit all the time, several times recently we have tried to sit in the garden with a baby but after several table moves have had to relocate inside due to smoke. There should be non smoking areas in the garden, especially under the covered roofs. Ideally, smoking areas would be out the front of the pub. This is supposed to be a family pub, please consider accommodating everyone for the summer in the sunny garden.

The staff were very good and attentive and the fish and chips was very good. Now on to the part I don't like and would not recommend my friends or someone who had a proper Sunday roast. We had the trio (£24), for the price is not bad on the menu, it doesn't look too bad either. But the meat portion was small (the chicken portion I got was like 2 chicken nuggets, pork was about 5cm x 5 cm x 5cm and a 3 bite max piece of medium cooked beef (was cooked very well). That's not the bad part, it was pretty tasteless (the beef definitely wasn't aged). I used up all my gravy and added a lot of salt like Salt Bae in order to eat it (I had never ever added salt to a Sunday roast). The vegetables were well cooked but again tasteless, only saving grace was the potatoes which tasted amazing. Bloody mary was also good. Definitely will not have the roast again, but will have the fish and chips. KFC is next door, so is also a good option after a drink.

Great all-round pub, the garden is magnificent since the refurbishment, and food seems to be of much more consistent and higher quality. Music seems to get disproportionately loud/bassey quite early (to the extent it was a challenge to hold conversation) which spoiled otherwise great hospitality in my opinion, other people might like that though. Prices in line with what one might expect.

Refurb is ok but feels a bit like a nice hotel bar. The price of a pint was quite painful, would expect to pay that for an unusual beer, but not the standard breweries. The food looked good but it’s pretty much £20 for a meal which I might expect for a Sunday roast but not a mid-week stop off. Would give a 3.5 star if that was an option.

Great selection of beers, loads of craft options alongside the classics. And the Sunday roast? Unreal. Perfectly cooked meat, crispy roasties, and gravy that actually has flavor (not just watered-down stock like some places). In the summer, the outdoor seating is a game changer. Whether you’re here for a chilled pint, live music, or just a solid night out, The Red Lion never disappoints. Highly recommend!

Decided to pop in to the Red Lion for lunch with a friend after noticing the refit. Opted to share starters & dessert. Wow, absolutely gorgeous food. Pumpkin with endive, spinach, pomegranate & spelt. Salt & pepper calamari, crispy chicken & pardon peppers. I forgot to take a picture of the sticky toffee pud, but decided on the empty plate instead to show how horrible the dessert was. You definitely should not get it....😉 Very reasonable priced at £51. Would highly recommend the Red Lion for any occasion & been child friendly both the mums & dads can enjoy a little tipple catching up with friends.

28/ Feb - Such a wonderful and respectful refurbishment of a Leytonstone Icon. Would love to see some mocktails or more non alco options on menu as it develops. Staff were great and food looked good. Just an edit 8/3 - We came back to try the menu. Unfortunately found the bar snacks and starters very small for the price. 8 of us ordered beef burgers and found them dry with overwhelming amounts of sauce. Also, the toilets were all blocked and cisterns dripping on customers. So great space and staff, but still room for improvement.

Yesterday I popped in for lunch just after 12 noon. I was the first customer in there. I ordered the classic beef burger for £15 and cider The cheese was square and rubbery and when I cut the burger in half, I discovered that the patty was almost raw in the middle and cold. Sent it back. Got a refund. Bit disappointed as my order was the only one in the kitchen.

Vine para el asado del domingo, que normalmente no hago, ya que suelo encontrar que prefiero el mío propio a uno de pub. Sin embargo, me sorprendió muy gratamente.

Fuimos servidos por una encantadora joven llamada Jordana que era educado, agradable, amable y eficiente y todos estuvieron de acuerdo en que era una comida muy agradable en una tarde muy húmeda y desagradable! Añada un excelente pudín de toffee pegajoso y lo hizo para un almuerzo de domingo muy agradable! ¡Sin duda volveré!

Positive: Our stay was overall positive. The owner and the employees were all super friendly and nice, the rooms were clean and furnished with love, and the bed was the most comfortable hotel bed I have ever slept in. We were even allowed to check in earlier because the room was already ready and were able to leave our suitcases there on the last day because our flight was so late. The nearest station, Leytonstone, is just a two minute walk away and it's easy to get into the centre. Negative: There is no socket in the bathroom and one window was broken, so only one could be opened halfway.

He estado viniendo aquí en - apagado durante los últimos 10 años y hasta ayer solo he tenido una experiencia increíble - de la atmósfera a la comida. Sin embargo, está claro que desde que se apoderó del pub se ha ido cuesta abajo. Sus asados veganos solían ser uno de los mejores del este de Londres, ¡y ahora ni siquiera tienen uno como opción! Incluso la opción vegetariana era un horneado de berenjenas... ¡así que ni siquiera un asado apropiado! Absolutamente extraño que un pub retroceda en esto: terminamos teniendo la única opción disponible, una hamburguesa con papas fritas, que solo puedo calificar mal; sosa, seca y empapada de mostaza, acompañada de papas fritas pálidas. No importaba qué día de la semana fueras a este pub, te dolía, y ayer estaba muerto, un domingo por la tarde. ¡Tan triste! También solían tener jazz en vivo por la noche, pero eso también se ha detenido. No estoy seguro de por qué alguien compraría un pub claramente exitoso y cambiaría todo lo bueno de él, ¡solo puedo imaginar que continuará disminuyendo! Qué pena porque realmente era un pub fabuloso con un ambiente increíble

Temprano por la tarde los fines de semana: un enjambre de clase media baja, ‘bien portado’, pero individuos staid con baby buggies (tristemente, incluyendo ocupantes) descienden. Al final de sus “sesiones”, uno casi puede imaginar que los niños son decantados de la silla de paseo solo para ser reemplazados por uno de los padres que se quejan, el otro tiene la tarea de empujarlos a casa. Durante la semana, aparece al menos algo de orden, pero hay un grupo muy pequeño (3 -5 ) de hombres bastante básicos, juiciosos (¡como de costumbre! ) parados en el extremo derecho (lo suficientemente adecuado) del bar y haciendo comentarios despectivos sobre los clientes, sin ser desafiados ni por el personal ni por la dirección. El personal es relativamente acogedor, sufre mucho y es eficiente, aunque se necesita el fuerte apoyo de la dirección para desafiar a este pequeño grupo de “habituales” que se encuentran confiados y aparentemente impunes en el bar. Nunca he asistido a un evento de música en vivo, pero escucho que son buenos. Los precios de los alimentos me parecen un poco caros. Las bebidas son, por supuesto, mucho más caras que Wetherspoon’s, pero de nuevo, es una elección entre un lugar agradable, tranquilo y agradable (es decir, aquí) o uno que se asemeja, a veces, a un refugio nocturno. No hay espejos en los Caballeros - igual de bien considerando el estado de los hombres que he visto aquí.

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, urgently, to effectively 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.

Evitar partidos de fútbol importantes. He estado en el León Rojo para la semifinal del Mundial de Inglaterra en 2018 , la final de la Eurocopa 2021, y muchos otros grandes partidos de Inglaterra y ha sido brillante. Sin embargo anoche para la final de la Eurocopa 2024 realmente frotaron sal en la herida y fue la peor experiencia que he visto para un evento deportivo importante. Era cómico lo poco preparados que estaban. No había asientos para las personas que habían reservado en el salón de baile, pidiendo a los clientes de pago que llevaran sillas arriba, luego quedándose totalmente sin sillas y haciendo que la gente se parara para el juego completo. No había suficiente personal cerca para el bar principal, colas de 40 minutos antes del partido y ningún personal para abrir el bar de salón que permaneció cerrado para aquellos que habían reservado para estar allí. Tampoco hay sonido real en el salón de baile para el partido. Era como si no supieran que la final iba a pasar, lo cual es una pena ya que han montado grandes eventos en torneos anteriores pero fue un desastre total anoche. En general, un servicio horrible de un pub una vez genial.

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)

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.

Three old codgers came to the Red Lion expecting a hearty meal. Tuesday. Kitchen closed despite what the web site said. Forced to eat Pizza from Yard Sale. Tasty but NOT why we came. Might want to make a note on the web site? Very misleading.

Really lovely pub on Leytonstone high street. Very cool distressed interior and it feels cosy and welcoming. The Sunday roast was excellent and the atmosphere was lovely. Highly recommended.

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!

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 !!
