Xmas meal with family on Saturday evening, food & service both excellent. Really good price for 3 course Xmas menu. Vegetarian options were well catered for. Would definitely recommend.

Stopped and the Red Lion for lunch after veiwing the house we have bought. We were very impressed at the ambience and welcome we received. We ordered from the bar menu and when the food arrived it was lovely and hot and very enjoyable. The service at the bar was also very good. We finished our meal and prior to leaving used the bathroom which was also very clean with an added touch by providing sanitary products if needed. Very impressed and look forward to visiting many times when we move.

Eaten here dozens of times over the last year since moving to the area, the food is outstanding. Never ever had an “okay” meal no matter the day or the time, they are always fantastic. Would highly recommend visiting if you appreciate both high quality and excellent food at great prices no matter when you visit. The added bonus too is the pub itself is also great, the staff being brilliant. Phoebe never disappoints, she is always so lovely, kind and happy, making you feel so welcome, she will also go that extra mile, and if you have someone in your party who has additional needs she just sorts things without making any fuss - that means so much. All the staff are friendly and make going to the pub a really positive and enjoyable experience, so glad it’s our local, lucky doesn’t cover it! I must also mention Jess, she is also so so welcoming, she remembers your name and takes the time to talk to you (and your dog if you have one), nothing too much trouble. Thank you Red Lion for running such an excellent, clean and friendly pub.

I was looking to try somewhere new for lunch and saw this place had good reviews so thought we would try; very glad we did! The menu is good and varied with some really different options but also the usual classic types. Service was good and quick with food coming out in good time but hot and fresh. The food was fantastic and really top quality; the brie wedges were divine and I haven’t enjoyed a meal as much as I did the chicken supreme in some time! We also thought that it was really excellent value for money, so much so I won’t be eating for the rest of the day! Excellent service too. I don’t often leave restaurant reviews but this was deserved. Will definitely be return visitors.

The food Fantastic little place, deep fried brie wedges to start where top quality, fresh hot and with a fresh salad side, opted for the smoked haddock with cheese sauce on a bed of crushed chive potatoes, now this is possibly the best smoked haddock dish I have ever had and is definitely recommended, service was very good and well paced. So if you are looking for a new place to try definitely book a table here Food: 5/5 | Service: 5/5 | Atmosphere: 5/5

9 family and friends went here to celebrate an 80th birthday, and we were all very disappointed. The restaurant was packed, too warm and extremely noisy, you couldn't hear yourself speaking. The food choice was OK but nothing special. Service by the 2 young waitresses was abysmal. They were both so grumpy, disinterested, and unhelpful. Sat waiting for ages whilst they chatted behind the counter. Some of the menus were 'Specials of the day', but these 2 didn't have a clue what these actually were!! Worst part was the long table of 22 cackling women getting drunk. Never again.

A wonderful evening last night at The Red Lion Pen-y-ffordd restaurant. Phoebe and her team provided excellent service, a special mention for Abby, our waitress, she was attentive, smiling and ensured all our requirements were met in a professional manner. The food was marvellous we opted to choose from the Table D' Hote menu. I enjoyed my squid ring starter and my friends savoured their BBQ chicken wing starters. Compliments must be given to the chef and his kitchen staff, my Baked Smoked Haddock came on a bed of mushy pea mashed potato with a white wine & cheddar cream sauce - it was exceptional, I would highly recommend it! My wife and my friend chose the Red Lion Steak Burger from the main menu and thoroughly enjoyed it. Well done all at Red Lion restaurant, we had a super evening & would highly recommend to anyone seeking great food and exemplary service.

Went on Friday 29/12 with visiting family. Phoebe (site manager) was incredibly friendly and helpful considering someone had had a medical episode in the restaurant. She was so helpful and really lovely, even helping my son choose his meal (he insisted on her input poor lady!!). The food was outstanding, the 4 of us had fantastic food (had 3 courses each so we feel we can say this). No disappointment at all. The portions are massive and it was pure greed on our part to have 3 courses but when it’s that good you gotta try! Phoebe and Harriet worked really hard that night and were an absolute credit to not only themselves but the pub too. Excellent staff and food. We then had karaoke in the bar with my son even doing a duet, the atmosphere was fantastic. Glad we just moved here as we’ve found a great place with food and service both being excellent.

Attended the Christmas party night on 6/22/23 and what a fantastic night we had. On arrival we were welcomed with a complimentary glass of Prosecco. We had a three course meal and the food was absolutely delicious, far exceeded any Christmas party meals we previously had in more larger hotel venues. Compliments to the chef!! The service was exceptional and accommodated any special requests. We had an entertainer during the meal and a disco throughout the night Each guest was given a sealed envelop to open on their return visit which could include between 10-100% of your food bill in January. Which was a nice gesture and incentive to return in January. The atmosphere and ambience or the room was lovely and completed a fantastic Christmas party night. Highly recommend this venue and will definitely be returning. 👍👏

Please be aware, As a group we booked in advance for nine people and pre ordered from the Christmas Menu 3 courses for £24.95 . Several people ordered two courses …. Remember we pre ordered…… When we came to pay we all had to pay £24.95 however many courses we had. This was not made clear in any communication. I have not come across this situation before. We felt seriously taken advantage of, no Manager available to deal with our issues .. just pay up. Our food was good and pleasant surroundings but I personally will not be going to eat there again, and my friends feel the same.

Very disappointed with the online website, mentioned specials Mon - Fri , when arrived was told no specials! Had to show the young waitress the website to be told there is a new one which she showed us on her phone, different to the one advertised! But obviously wouldn’t have given us unless I mentioned it. False advertising. Also waited 45 mins for food. Restaurant wasn’t really busy so no apologises for late arrival of food. Advertised Karaoke for same evening to be told no karaoke that was last week!! Website needs some serious update. Food was ok just waited a little too long. Waitresses where polite but lacking knowledge. Won’t be returning sad to say!

Came here last minute for some food to celebrate our anniversary. Friendly attentive staff, we wasn't waiting very long at all. Nice seating area away from the busy noisy pub. Food was lovely no complaints. Absolutely huge portions too. I had the lasagne garlic bread and salad. The salad was fresh and not limp and old it was all faultless. Husband had the burger and chips with salad. Also faultless the chips were real chippy chips and were the best we have had for a while. We would have tried dessert but was just too full. Would definitely come back again. Thank you!

Despite a previous poor experience of Sunday Lunch here, we decided to give it another go. This time for a midweek dinner. Their website has - WEEKDAY SPECIALS ~ Treat Yourself to a special dinner for just £9.95! Available Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 5-9 pm. Except it’s not. We booked for 6pm on a Wednesday, ordered drinks, then asked for the weekday specials only to be told they’re not available. No apology, no explanation. We had no choice but to order from the main menu, which was significantly more expensive. The food was fine but why pull in customers through your website if you don’t provide the offer. So second time here was another disappointment

Had 5 Sunday roast meals over the last 5 Sundays and will not be ordering again, first 3 weeks were great, lovely roast dinner, nice meat and fresh veg, great portion size. Last week the portion size was not so great so put it as a one off... This week... Well it was a waste of money I'm sad to say... The quality has deteriorated! Sliced beef like out of a packet, all veg was frozen and barely an of it! 1 shrivelled piece of small broccoli, spoonful of peas and sweetcorn frozen mix, frozen carrots which were awful and I personally had 6 batons, 3 frozen sprouts. 2 tiny boiled potatoes. The 2 roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding were the best bit!! They have lost my custom I'm afraid as that really isn't up to standard when you're paying almost £18 for 2 roast dinners. Thanks for the last few weeks.

We have been coming to the red lion for the last 3 years and have always found it first class for everything. However last week we thought the service and food had slipped slightly. We did comment to one of the regular staff who was very apologetic and spoke with Simon the land lord who came straight over to apologise and explain the head chef was off, and gave us 10% off our bill which I thought was extremely kind. We have returned this week and it is very apparent the issues have been addressed. The service was prompt with efficient and attentive staff and when Simon (land lord) spotted us he gave us our order on the house!! Wow!! We were always going to return to the red lion but we will even more so now, massive thanks to you and your amazing team.

Called here for lunch after checking with their website that they served food. When we arrived we asked if they were serving food and were told yes. What we were not told was that, despite their website saying they serve the main menu all day, they don't. They were just serving light bites. I decided on the special hot roast pork ciabatta from the board on the bar but was told they didn't actually have that or the beef one. Why have the boards on the bar if you are not serving them !!!We shared a bowel of their "Notorious Nachos" not sure why they have that title - it was a bowl of cheap supermarket nachos with cheese and chilli on top. They didn't even bother to layer the cheese & nachos so once you had eaten the top ones the rest was just plain, bland nachos.My husband chose the fish and chips and said the fish was nicely cooked and the batter crispy but it was half a piece of fish - so small. I chose a chicken wrap and was amazed that the chef let it leave the kitchen the wrap was so stale it was hard. The best part of the meal was the chips which were proper homemade chunky chips.

The red is our local and what a local it is too from a lite bite to a full 3 course meal you can’t go wrong. The Sunday lunch is the best for miles around our favourite is the triple roast . The gravy is quite simply the best. I can also highly recommend the steaks they are cooked to perfection.

Sunday special menu with 2 and 3 course offers was on, which was good value, especially 3 courses! Only an extra £1 to have dessert and with the option to take it home, who can resist? Variety of food on the Sunday menu, not just roast dinners, which was perfect for me! Thank you to all the staff at the Red Lion for a fantastic evening.

Steve and his staff are absolute stars. Fantastic food. If I could rate the red lion any higher, I most definitely would. Don't hesitate to visit if you get the chance seriously.

We would like to thank the whole team for making our Christmas dinner a special one, they catered for all allergies and needs and went the extra mile even offering to get alternative desserts in for my gluten allergy

I often visit The Red Lion and decided to host my 60th Birthday there, nothing was too much trouble, I hired the whole restaurant even though it's their busiest time of year. The food was fantastic and my guests also said how outstanding the buffet was. The team ensured everything was perfect, thanks to Steve and Phoebe who arranged everything including the Disco.

Difficult to review..... The food was ok but the restaurant has no atmosphere. I think it's due to its shape...its very square and regimented and felt me feel quite uncomfortable.

Visited for the 1st time today 13th October with the family who live in the area, WoW! So impressed lovely atmosphere,staff really nice. The food was excellent, every one of our meals was superb, 3 of us had starters all 1st class I had garlic mushrooms myself I can honestly say the best I've ever tasted. My husband had the haddock as a main which was 1st class , my son the ham roast dinner and myself and daughter in kaw the lamb all cooked to perfection, children enjoyed their meals and the only ones to be able to squeeze a dessert of fudge cake which was soon devoured. I must say the best pub meal we've all been able to say was faultless for a long time, will certainly be visiting again when we come on a visit. May I also thank Phoebe and Simon who we enjoyed a lot of banter with. To try the Red Lion is a must if you enjoy good food at a reasonable price in a nice relaxing atmosphere.

The Red Lion is always our first choice for a Sunday lunch. The menu is varied and the portions are very generous. On our last visit we enjoyed the roast beef and the roast lamb, both of which were delicious. The staff were very attentive and friendly.

Went with my husband and 4 other family members. Food and service was great as usual. Only small hiccup was one of the starters were forgotten, however, this was rectified quickly.

We visited as a group of 3 on a reasonably quiet Friday evening (approx 20 other customers in the restaurant area). When the food arrived it was lovely, just a shame that we had to wait so long for it. The restaurant could easily seat about 2 or 3 times the amount of customers that were there so I'd hate to know how long the wait would be if they were full.

Shambolic experience recently when we went for lunch. They had a funeral wake going on with loads of people. Car park was full, with total chaos as cars were trying to enter/ leave and then find somewhere to park. Service inside was appallingly slow and not helped by very unpleasant lady at the counter. Apparently some people who had booked just went away due to the situation. Its was a great pity as this is usually a very good place to eat.

Quick and short review of our excellent dining experience tonight. Attentive, uniformed staff. Ambiance was warm and inviting. Small restaurant area, though additional seating was available in the public space. Tried the ‘Tuesday Steak night’ and the Crown Fried Chicken popcorn, southern fried chicken, salad, house slaw , fries and a tasty chicken gravy DELICIOUS. Finished off with raspberry crumble and a trio of ice cream and sorbet YUMMY 10/10 👜 handbag restaurant review. Go try yourself 👍

Booked a table for 16 people 2 weeks in advance for Sunday lunch for our dads 60th birthday, having been here several times for family gatherings or as a couple for meals it was our first choice as food and service has always been great.service from the waitress this time was terrible she was quite frankly rude and we were made to feel unwanted the minute we were seated.having just taken our seats same asked us what did we want to order from the Sunday roast menu,I explained we were going to order drinks first and then we would be ready to order ,her reply we have these tables booked out after you! My mum immediately wanted to leave but not wanting to ruin dad’s meal as family had traveled from Manchester we stayed. Food came to the table quickly and disappointing, everyone’s Yorkshire puddings were burnt and hard we had a spoonful of instant mash and for the price small portions , the server was miserable and standoffish and unlike past reservations wasn’t very welcoming towards us , will not be coming back unfortunately everyone in our party wanted to complain but we didn’t for dads sake
