CUSTOMERS TALK ABOUT DISHES WITH..lambchickensteakcurry

comment_iconOpinions

This pub is no longer an Indian Restaurant/ Pub It has been taken over by a very reputable company and is being run brilliantly by Nancy Jones and her under manager Gemma. Mike has been kept on because of his excellent input. The pub has been rejuvenated since the new regime , and now is a truly Community pub. I have been regularly using this pub for 52 years and have not seen it this good since the days of the Moores and Bob and Sue. Good luck to the new management and roll on when the kitchen re-opens even if it’s only for bar snacks.

Ordered for delivery at 5.30, was given estimated delivery of 6.05. Called them @6.30 to complain it hadn't arrived, girl on the phone was very apologetic saying they had had problems with the app, just don't accept the orders if you can't cope. Was told it would be half an hour, called back again at 7.10 to be told it had just left for delivery. Finally arrived at 7.30, everything was luke warm naans were like you get from the supermarket. I don't normally leave bad feedback as know businesses are struggling but this was ridiculous. Definitely won't be using you again, very disappointed. Wasn't even offered any money back or complimentary poppadoms, which would of been a nice gesture.

Takeaway curry. Good in past but this was beyond inedible. I understand oven was not working but why not just decline the order? "Nan" was a solid but if bread that had been grilled badly. Curries were runny and tasting of powder. Chicken in it was almost raw. After one mouthful everything went straight into the bin. I have never left a negative review before but this was indescribable. Sorry, but the red lion has lost us for good. I only hope that it gets it's act together quickly because if it doesn't it is finished.

This is only our 2nd visit to this Indian Restaurant/ Bar. On this occasion we were served by Mr Singh, who was not only professional, but exceptionally helpful and friendly. My husband and I both selected Chicken Shashlik with a Madras Curry, pilau rice/keema nan and chips. Our food was fresh/ succulent and tasty. We wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend. Well done Mr Singh, keep up all your efforts and we look forward to seeing you again in the near future.

I had been in the Red lion before for drinks but hadn’t tried the food. As I was drinking I could smell the food being taken out to the diners in the restaurant side and couldn’t resist any longer. I asked if a takeaway was possible. I ordered and once it was bagged up I took it home. The food was fresh and so tasty. I will be going back for more.

Being Gresford residents for the past 28 years. I would love this to be an inviting pub. First impressions are always the most important. I know you are decorating the inside. But you need to do something about the outside,. Windows are rotten and dirty. disgusting curtains.It makes you think. If they can't be bothered, what is the kitchen like. Why would anybody get dressed up to go there. In the past it was an OK pub. food was OK. Used to go now and again. I would go again if you made some sort of effort. Why not do nice fresh meals not out of the microwave. Please do something with this pub or otjerwise it will close down.

Called in on our way back from Chester after Xmas shopping. We wish we hadnt.I ordered two beef Sunday Lunches, they came in about 5 minutes, which is a bad sign....(I didnt hear the microwave dinging though).The veg was served in little piles of cold sloppy gunge, two paper thin slices of beef, fried roast potatoes....but the best was the gravy, the best description for it was 'water thin tea', no taste and it poured and looked like a cup of tea.We did complain but all we got was "I'm sorry". The beer was good though.I would not recommend this pub to eat at to anyone. My wife and I will certainly not enter through it's doors ever again.

We took my mother in law out for a meal here last Saturday night and was very impressed. We usually call for lunch every third week when we visit but as we were down for the weekend thought that we would eat at night. In the week prior to our visit the landlord phoned out of courtesy to let us know that the pub would probably be full at the time we had booked the table for as Wales were playing rugby. We therefore moved or booking slightly later. What a very nice thought. The food was excellent, both in taste and value, the staff were excellent too and we shall definitely return. Thanks for a great evening out Martin and co.

We recently called at the red lion as we often do on a Friday evening for tea. We had walked from the next village and were looking forward to a relaxing glass of wine and a good meal. On arriving there it was very busy but we managed to find a table. My partner made his way to the bar having to negotiate a large noisy group of people who obviously were oblivious to other customers. After paying nine pounds for a glass of wine and a pint of larger my partner returned to our table with a menu. We made our choice almost immediately and my partner returned to the bar to order. At this point he was told that they had "stopped"serving food. We were very disappointed as there was no indication of this and food is normally served till 9 and it was only ten past seven. we sat and finished our drinks looking enviously as customers continued to be served food. Also a group that had arrived after us managed to place an order. We were told this was because they had booked. Surely a sign should have been placed at the bar or the staff should have told customers when ordering drinks that no food was available. Most people go there to eat so surely it makes good customer service as we would never have spent 25 minutes walking there to be told we couldn't eat.also there was obviously a chef on duty as the group who had "booked" were able to place an order. We sat and made our decision to walk back home and pick up a Chinese meal. My partner and myself both work for company's where customer service is paramount to the success of business and I feel that the people running this establishment need to engage more in the organization of their pub. This was reinforced when I discovered that amongst the "large noisy group" at the bar was the landlady herself obviously enjoying herself but oblivious to her disgruntled customers. I realise that our order may not have been important to them or the money we would have spent may not be missed but reputation is crucial in any business and although normally I am not a complainer I do feel that by writing this the people who run this pub may take my comments on board and improve their communication with customers.if you want a warm welcome and good food the red lion married is not the place to go!!

As a local I frequent this pub occasionally for a pint or two. Tonight I went there for a meal and was not disappointed. We had 2 main courses.. a simple, but we'll presented, chicken and bacon salad and a grilled chicken sizzling platter plus a side of fries and a bottle of Chilean Carmenere which was a notch up from typical pub house wine. All this for £31! The place was busy as it was quiz night and our timing meant a wait for the food to arrive. Better to wait than hear the Bing of a microwave! Would have liked to give 5 stars but this is a pub, not a restaurant, and my rating reflects this. At this affordable price I will definitely be going back on a fairly regular basis.

Both arrived exactly as ordered, not always the case even in much more expensive places as my wife will testify. Not a lot else to say reallly, easy to find and ample parking, suggest you book though as it does get busy

I dropped in for something to eat on a Saturday night. The place was extremely crowded but the bar staff went out of their way to set up a small table for me. I had the beef and ale pie and an ale on tap. Both were excellent and great value for money. I would highly recommend this pub for a meal.

Very nice attentive staff. Just called in for a drink and had a curry as it was 'curry night'! Spacious and clean. Not a lot of choice of real ales, but that wasn't a problem. Can't understand the couple of bad reviews this place has because we were very satisfied. Good location for us for an evening because we were just 5 mins down the road at the Premier Inn.

Met a colleague for a catch up and looked this place up as nearby and with good reviews on Trip Advisor!Lovely building.Staff were friendly and helpful.Menu has a good choice.The food was well presented and tasted fine.Not necessarily where I would take my partner, but for a decent meal and a beer with mates, this was great.

Brought the family out for a late lunch earlier in the week. Plenty of tables, clean, good service with advise on saver menu from well presented staff. Had a lovely meal (steak burger is excellent) and a couple of drinks. Great value when the bill came :) family all went home smiling and I think we've found a new regular venue! Will be visiting again.

Ive visited the red lion for lunch and had a light bite when we arrived we were very welcomed the food was exceptional we didnt even have to go to the bar we were seated and explained all the menus then half way through our meal we were asked if everything was ok with our meals "scrumptious" and asked again at the end of our meal, my brother and parents returned several times after that, then we booked for a 30th birthday I rang up to book for a table of 15 people the gentleman I spoke to went through the specials it was grill night 2 for the price of one "awesome" when we arrived we were welcomed yet again and the table was ready all layed out for us, the lounge was quite busy but still nothing too much trouble for the staff I asked if I could put some banners up they got some blue tac the food was "scrumptious " yet again. Can I just say on behalf of me and my family a huge Thank You to all the staff for making the night so special and would recommend this place 'Yes we will be returning '

Having read all the reviews we thought we'd give it a try.First impressions was that it is extremely small...only **9** tables!!! All but 1 were empty so after getting drinks from the bar we headed to a table. It was reserved so we went to the next one, reserved, and the next one and the one after that. In fact every table (all 9 of them) were reserved. We enquired at the bar as to where we were to sit to enjoy our drinks and maybe order some food only to be told that we couldn't sit down. It was 6.35 on a Saturday evening and were told that all the tables were booked from 7.30. The staff behind the bar were totally uninterested and we were made to stand with our drinks while being surrounded by empty tables.WHY would you reserve tables an hour before they are needed? And WHY would you reserve every table you have in such a small restaurant on a busy roadside? You must be losing money hand over fist from passing trade, work it out, 8 empty tables for 1 hour.....ridiculous! Needles to say we had to leave our drinks as we had nowhere to sit to enjoy them and headed into town to a real restaurant. So If your looking for a cosy out of town restaurant or a quiet drink DONT head here as you'll be wasting your fuel, unless you don't mind standing that is!

My family had an excellent meal here this evening, the 6 of us chose off the grill menu and the steaks ordered were cooked just as we asked for. The price was reasonable with two eating for the price of one. I am now tempted to call back tomorrow evening for the curry night. I will definitely be calling here again and have no hesitation in recommending the food and service.

Had a lovely lunch with a friend at the Red Lion. Great value for money. Excellent service. Only thing that let it down was the frozen chips.

I thoroughly enjoyed another delicious meal at this pub. Great value for money. Great choice on the menu and very polite professional staff. I chose the gammon which was very succulent not salty, the egg was definitely fresh, not rubbery, cooked to perfection. A generous hot portion. The pub has a lovely friendly atmosphere which always makes you feel welcome. A really nice pub for a lovely evening out. Go visit !

I have visited the pub on several occasions over the past few months and would highly recommend it. The food has always been great, the drinks are well priced, but most importantly the service has been excellent. I have been to quite a few places nearby and this wins hands down. The staff are always friendly and polite, they always seem to be doing everything the can to make sure you're happy. You can tell its a great place to be as the atmosphere is very good and the staff are always smiling. Will be revisiting again very very soon!

Visited 2 Sundays before Christmas. Got a table easily enough though, surprising for what is billed on tripadvisor as the number 1 restaurant in Wrexham! Got a table in the window and ordered from the impressive pub menu. Bbq chicken, kids burger, steak and ale pie and a sirloin steak, ordered medium rare. £40 is excellent value, but the food was, as expected for £40. The sirloin steak was overcooked and I'm certain it was done under the grill. Not great... No complaints though, why? Because it was £10, although having said that.... Wetherspoons always seem to get it right; for less. Steak and ale pie drew a 7/10 and a 'it wasn't handmade' comment from the Mrs. Kids meals were ok too. Far from poor, Marstons Ale was lovely. But I was asked twice when my meal arrived (in quick succession) if everything was ok, as if they knew it wasn't. Chef shouldn't really have let the steak out of the kitchen, it was overcooked, in a peculiar way.... (Where else cooks steak under a grill nowadays?)Cheap and cheerful though, not 'bad' by any stretch. Might revisit, but would stick with burgers, or fish n chips.

Great food, great service and lovely cosy surroundings, certainly one to try if you haven't been. The menu has something for everyone, cooked beautifully and served with a smile ! Will most certainly return to the Red Lion in the very near future as made to feel so welcome and want to try much more of the menu !

There is always a lovely welcoming atmosphere in the Red. The staff are friendly & make you feel that you are among friends. The food is very tasty & they run some good offers to ensure you get value for money. You can be sure of a brilliant night when they have a band on,my fav is Andy Kayne believe me you'll dance the night away

Absolutely rubbish walked in and didn't get a greeting from the staff behind the counter and it was card only but not shown properly on the window a bit bigger will help. What about the older generation who doesn't have a credit card only money well I'm not coming back a place to avoid

Don’t we all love a spoons? Had a lot of good times in the north and south bank spent with friends. Very good value and the food is surprisingly nice. Sometimes the queue can be edging on the ludicrous on a Saturday night but that’s the same with everywhere. The only real downside is that it isn’t open 24/7!

Lovely location but average experience. There’s definitely better pubs in the area. Externally it looks beautiful but inside it’s lacking character. We chose not to eat here
