I've been to many pubs where they serve Indian food, and this was not disappointing! The drinks were great, and the food quality was equally great. The seating was more than adequate (we were in a group of 4 adults and 3 children under the age of 8) The staff were friendly, and ordering was a breeze. Id recommend this to anyone!

I have come here for some years and have always enjoyed the service, atmosphere and food. However, I visited today as I hadn't been in a while and noticed there was a price increase which is alot more than other establishments that offer the same type of food. I do not mind paying a little more if the food is up to par but it was so disappointing. The butter chicken was not nice and was overpriced considering the lack of flavour, price and size! Why is the curry now served in a tiny dish which easily spills? The rice wasn't great and the chips were hard. I have never been so disappointed considering the last time I visited everything was lovely! Unfortunately I won't be back. Red Lion - please listen to your customers. There is clearly an issue food wise which needs to be looked at!

Good food. Lot of vegetarian options. Huge place. Lot of different areas for everyone to choose from. There was some confusion regarding ordering and our starter and main course came together. Altogether it was a good experience.

Pretty standard Asian food. Nicely presented in copper bowls, tasty and hot. The large mixed grill could feed two people for a week. Nan breads were tasty and hot and the bar had a good range of beers and ciders. The papadums and accompanying dips were poor value, but overall everyone enjoyed their meals

Went for a meal for granddaughters 18th. The food was really nice but we all made the mistake of over ordering not realising how generous the portions were. The mixed grill platter was literally a wall of meat & fish. Will definitely be going back there.

Love this place. It's very popular and always full when we go, and when you see the food coming out, you can see why. We had the sizzling chicken tikka, and it was spot on. A generous amount of chicken pieces, sitting on a bed of onions. It came with raita and chutney. Lovely. We were part of a birthday party of around 20 people, and we were served promptly. Pleasant, friendly, attentive staff, toilets modern and clean. Very family orientated, making for a relaxed atmosphere.

Despite some of the negative reviews we decided to give the Red Lion a go and we are glad we did. It was very busy but we were greeted warmly and shown to our seats without delay. The place inside is much more modern than we anticipated and most importantly it was clean and neatly presented. We waited around 20 minutes for our food , which was not bad considering how busy they were. We ordered a lamb curry and the mixed grill and naan. Everything was very tasty and tender. The grill was not at all over seasoned and salty like some other grills we have had. The service at the table was very polite and the young girls serving are a credit to the restaurant. They cleared away tables quickly and swept up regularly. I am quite fussy so for me to give a 5 out of 5 it not done easily. We will be back.

We have been coming to this restaurant for a few years now but recently visited in December and felt really let down. When we first started coming it was great, you’d get a seat in a lively area and the food was 10/10 - however on our recent visit none of this was the case. I booked a couple of weeks in advance and requested a booth in the main dining area. This was not the case when we arrived. They put us in a dark corner in a small bar area with no TV to watch sports. The mixed grill is also now more expensive but a hell of a lot smaller than it was the year before. Also the service was incredibly slow. Half of our table had finished their meals before the other half arrived. I appreciate it is a busy place, but returning and pre booking customers should have some level of service. Might have to consider a new desi pub moving forward.

Overall, having dined in many times here is a combined review all in one. The service and atmosphere are excellent. You’re always greeted with a smile. The atmosphere is nice, doesn’t matter what room you sit in, they’re all well presented and cleaned well. The food The large mixed grill is £26. When you consider the other local establishments this is on the high end of the scale. You would therefore expect to get more than 1 lamb chop, more than 3 chicken wings. It’s mostly all chicken tikka. The taste is lovely so nothing taken away from that. The curry’s and naans are delicious absolutely faultless - just get them cooked to your preferred taste. All in all a definite gem of a place!

We have been coming here for the last 15 years. But haven’t been in last 18 months. It was our top three mix grill place. Not anymore. Mix grill- lacked spice and flavour. No chilli. Previously was great. We thought we will try two curries. After being advised to ask for it to be more spicy or desi style. Keema - was grainy and mushy. Tasted burnt Chicken karai - hmm tandoori meat in a sauce lacked salt and spice. Waiter listened but didn’t feel we were heard. Spent £100 (5 adults and 2 kids). Looks like we won’t be going back!

Booked a table for 15 ppl for a Birthday Party. They informed me when booking i could keep cakes in the fridge. On the day they didnt put cakes in Fridge and smudged them. Informed me i could arrive15-20 mins early before 7pm booking to set up balloons etc on the day the table was not free until 7pm. Table they provided us was not even together, half of the guests had to sit apart. Most of the food was ok Keema was absolutely awful. Extremely unorganised loads of staff standing around doing nothing.

Heard good things about this pub so decided to book for my husbands birthday. There were 4 of us. We were shown to our table and we're asked if we want food to which the waitress then just pointed to a QR code. Others on other tables were given menus. The menu does not state how many the moxed grills serve. So we ordered 2 of the 32.99 ones between 4 as we thought they would be for 2 people. Wrong! One of these could feed 4 easily. The menu needs to highlight this! We ordered through the QR code at 7.43 our food arrived at 9.00! There was no explanation given ony once when we asked after 55 minutes and was told it would come in 5 minutes- it didnt! Others around us were being served in a timely manner maybe because it seemed they were regulars. Good tasted really nice but wouldn't return as service was shocking!!!

Pub was decorated lovely. We were sat in the conservatory are as there were a few of us on our works Christmas meal. The food was delicious and plentiful, I couldn't eat all of mine and took a doggy bag home for my hubby, who also throughly enjoyed it. There isn't much parking space and the spaces are cramped together I felt. The toilets were nice and clean which is always a bonus. Some of the staff were very pleasant and polite but some were just rude. Would I go here again, most definately.

If you’re Indian I wouldn’t recommend coming here. Came here on a busy Saturday, called and the person said it was fully booked, checked online they had multiple slots available. Asked the waitress about the heat level on the chicken curry and prawn curry and she said it’s medium to hot, it wasn’t even slightly spicy it was basically Nando’s level plain (definitely caterers to ⚪️ ppl). My partner couldn’t even eat his because it was so bland, I was going through mine until I found a black hair in the prawn curry. We got a partial refund and left for Royal Punjab. They never disappoint.

Went in after a review on YouTube about the mix grill platter. I literally paid over £25 for a chicken platter and not a mixed as there was only one over cooked lamb chop and one lamb kebab, the rest was chicken . Initially it looked and tasted alright but as we ate our way down we realised it was leftover chicken reheated. Very disappointed, waste of money and will definitely not be going back.

I visited on Thursday 21st Nov I asked for a mix grill and got the regular. I asked for some tap water too There was half a kebab, a small piece of fish pakora and 99% chicken not quite sure how that qualifies as a mixed grill. I was told it’s £19 was then charged £19.99 The tap water never did arrive, when I asked if the food I hadn’t eaten could be packed, I was given a bag to do it myself. Self service I guess. In short paid £19.99 for chicken.

I've been in Australia for 10yrs. 10yrs longing for a decent curry. The Red Lion did NOT dissapoint. I had the sheekh kebab to start. Flavourful, tender, served on a sizzling cast iron plate. One serve was enough for 3 people. I then had the lamb jalfrezi, fried rice and chilli naan. Again, full of flavour. I should also mention the service was fantastic and attentive. The place filled up very quickly once we had finished and I could see they needed our table but no pressure from the management to leave. We did, of course, leave not long after. These guys scratched a 10yr itch and nailed it. Thanks 😁

1st time going here. Friendly staff. Room where I ate, it's a pity it's so open and mismatch seating. Really spoilt the decor with the tatty chairs. Ordered chicken Bhuna. OMG it was so salty, way to go to get you to buy more drinks. Bit quick of the mark with wanting payment, just as food arrived and not tasted. No one came around to collect up empty glasses I would give it a 2.5 rating, but stars don't allow for that.

Had visited recently for a family members birthday, however became hugely disappointed. The service was poor due to miscommunication between staff members and the food was basic.. the chicken was dry and flavourless. We ordered 2 large mix grill (amongst other things ) and it was mostly just chicken tikka. The table we were seated at was sticky and dirty we had to ask for it to be cleaned. To say we spent quite a substantial amount here the quality of food and service did not meet expectations, I strongly suggest that you go else where!

Great Pint..fresh and crips Stella and Staropramen. Good selection of beers. Place was clean and service was prompt. Was told to order using the table QR code but the app is pretty poor. It wouldn't allow adding various items. Ended up ordering via a assistant. Orderd the small mix grill which was £19.99 as there were two of us. Came with lots of chicken which was pretty dry, 1 lamb chopped which was chewy as hell, 1 solitary fish pakora and 1 chicken kebab..a second lamb kebab was given later on when we discussed the poor quality of the mix grill. Chilly chips were dry and not very saucy. Bowl of salad was plentifu and freshl. Garlic naan was lovely and crisp and fluffy and well made. Would avoid the mix grill and chilly chips if this is the gerenal quality these days. In the past the food has been better.

A very well established Indian restaurant serving a delicious range of dishes. A good selection of authentic chef specials to tempt you with some dishes on the menu, allowing you to be able to select a combination of two currys that are very tasty. The staff are very welcoming, friendly and provide great service. I've been here quite a few times, and food is served quickly and piping hot. There is also a good range of deserts to finish off your meals. You can order beers and wines with your meal. This is a very popular restaurant, especially on a weekend where you are advised to book. Not too busy early in the week.
