Four of us went in looking for a decent Sunday lunch and that’s exactly what we got. Plenty of beautifully cooked beef “just pink” and more veg than we could eat. £15.00, Good value, we will return. Restaurant could do with a facelift!

A lovely lunch at the Red Lion, the menu isn’t too big but something for everyone. The two lovely waitresses were very attentive and efficient, and nothing was too much trouble. The chips were amazing 🤩 homemade. The puddings were also delicious. We will definitely be back.

We visited the Red Lion on Sunday 2nd June and it was a really lovely experience. The staff were so pleasant and friendly, attentive without being intrusive. We had Sunday lunch which was really tasty. Mum had the red pepper and tomato soup starter which was hot and flavoursome and we all had the roast (beef and turkey) which was plentiful, tasty and hot and came with additional vegetables and gravy. We were too full for desserts, but I could see some of the desserts that were served to other customers and they looked fabulous. A really lovely place to go for an excellent Sunday lunch.

Sunday lunch and deserts were superb. We felt so comfortable here. Bar service was ace and the restaurant service equally brilliant. Can't believe we live in Forsbrook and this is the first time. We'll definitely be back here again. Loved it.

Well, what can I say about this experience. In January 2023 I wrote a list of the top 20 restaurants in Staffordshire according to TripAdvisor and this place was 19th on that list. It's the day of our wedding anniversary so I thought we'd give it a go. Walking in the pub, it was busy at the bar which we walked through to the dining room which was in darkness. A guy at the bar told us that the pub no longer does food other than on a Sunday, but try The Royal Oak at Dillhorne. As I walked back through the bar there was someone eating a sausage roll at the bar, and as we left, a woman was in the doorway on the phone and I heard her say 'yes please, and can I have chilli sauceon that' so that's 2 people that maybe would have eaten at the restaurant has it been open. I toyed with what rating to give this place as I spent more time buying milk on asda than I have in this pub, but 1 and 2 star felt unfair because I can't based it on the food I didn't try and I can't give 4 or 5 stars because I left hungry.

We held our mum’s wake at the Red Lion. Mandy and team were very helpful in organising the event. As we arrived at 1pm we had sole use of the pub until 4pm. There was approx 60 plus of us attending and we had a nice buffet of hot and cold food with desserts, tea and coffee too. The children enjoyed playing in the secure beer garden too. We would recommend the Red Lion to others as a venue for a wake. Thank you

Celebrated my 60th birthday at the Red Lion, the food for the buffet was amazing! Hot and cold food, a great variety and accommodated for dietary requirements. The atmosphere was amazing and all my guests commented on what a lovely venue with great food. I was able to make the room special with balloons and decorations, and my guests enjoyed time both inside and outside in the lovely garden area! The kids particularly liked watching the cows! The owners of the pub went above and beyond to make sure my party ran smoothly and were the best! A big thank you to all the staff, see you soon :)

Called in on the off chance and we had a Sunday roast absolutely delicious, the Lamb and Turkey was perfect and so was everything else that accompanied it. The staff were excellent and made sure you had everything you needed and with a smile, which makes a big difference. Would 100% recommend and definitely will be returning.

Just arrived home from a wake for a family member held at The Red Lion. Mandy and her team ensured everything went perfectly. The place made us most welcoming with roaring fires, bottomless teas and coffee and thoughtful background music. The food was absolutely delicious and plentiful with hot and cold dishes and beautiful desserts. Nothing was too much trouble for the host and staff. If anyone has a need for any occasion I cannot recommend The Red Lion enough. Thank you Mandy.

Found this beaut of a pub on Tripadvisor while we were in the area. Wow! The reviews are spot on. The food; we had a Sunday Lunch, it was delicious - lots of meat, veg was perfectly cooked, asked for a Yorkie on my ‘non Yorkie’ meal and this was happily facilitated, along with a little jug of extra gravy on all plates. Our lovely waitress, we didn’t get her name, was so friendly and polite, as was the bar staff. Some of these ‘off the track’ pubs can be a little ‘indifferent’ but you guys were just great. Food: 5, Service 5. Happy to recommend and we shall be returning.

Arrived today with our party of 10 for Christening eve lunch. Unfortunately it was pretty terrible, long wait for food despite being pre ordered. They forgot the chil meal so we had all finished by the time that arrived and though they did knock it off the bill, that wasn’t the issue. The Yorkshire pudding wraps were hard, the beef very over cooked and the Christmas meal portions were very small. Service was very very slow too and the restaurant wasn’t busy. Would we eat there again…no we wouldn’t I’m sorry to say.

This was our first visit under the new management and we were disappointed. After not being seen to for over 10 minutes, I went to the bar to order some drinks. When our order for food was eventually taken, we were told that the pie night offer was no longer available (also apparently a surprise to the waitress who had only just been told. Having booked the table a week ago in order to come for the pie night, I found this very poor. We also heard three other tables asking about it as well. We were told that the restaurant wasn't busy enough anymore to warrant pie night. I counted 30 guests in the restaurant during the time we were in there (which wasn't very long at all). Pie night would surely be an incentive to attract more customers. When our food arrived (lamb and chorizo pie and lasagne), it tasted nice (which is the reason for the three stars) but the portion sizes were very small indeed (my husband's pie was very shallow). Overall this was a disappointing experience.

We held an 80th Birthday party here at the weekend and it was the perfect place. We had a three course dinner for almost 30 people - we were pleasantly surprised seeing the menu options because it was such good value and on the night, the food was amazing…really tasty and well presented. The steaks were cooked exactly how everybody asked for them. It was also a very good speed of service, no one was waiting too long but it didn’t feel rushed. The atmosphere was wonderfully relaxed and the service was superb - nothing was too much trouble. The whole planning process was easy and Mandy was very accommodating to anything that we asked. We would definitely not hesitate to have another party at The Red Lion.

This place is my favourite semi local restaurant.

Still a good wide menu, still great food at good prices and still a personal touch from great staff. Their attention to detail in observing the Covid 19 issue is also assuring and commendable.Book your spot and enjoy a good meal "out".

What a delicious roast beef Sunday dinner. First time we have had a roast from here but not the first time we’ve had takeaways - which are always delicious too.Plenty of beef, lots of gravy, great selection of streamed veg, roast and mashed potatoes, red cabbage, cauliflower cheese and not forgetting the big Yorkshire puds. There is normally stuffing as well but we didn’t want any. All served in separate containers so you could plate it up yourself. Will definitely have another roast from here in future. Well done Matt and all your staff doing a great job feeding the locals through Covid

My husband and I have just finished our first take away roast chicken dinner from the fantastic Red Lion. On entry my husband was greeted by name and handed our order promptly and professionally, as ever.Each of the components were packed in well thought out and considered packaging - no nasty melting polystyrene boxes.The food was hot enough to serve straight onto warmed plates.The chicken was beautifully moist, the gravy plentiful and lush, the roasties and yorkshire still crunchy - well done on that! The mixture of veg was beyond first class, the nutmeg in the cauliflower cheese showed real class and thought, The stuffing was deeeelish too and I do believe I detected a hint of red wine therein?, either way it was totally gorgeous.We have stayed at hotels for Xmas day and not experienced a meal as delicious, well presented and portioned as perfectly as this.We finally moved onto the desserts...triple chocolate mousse and snickers cheesecake......utterly sublime!We are 2 very happy customers, with very content tummies - the Red Lion is a total gem and deserves all of the success it has achieved and each of the accolades their content and grateful customers bestow upon them.A privilege to have such an excellent establishment in Cheadle - please make sure you use this fabulous place!

Since lockdown, we have had a takeaway every weekend for the last few weeks. Very easy to book. Great choices. I am gluten free and the menu has lots of options for me.

We booked a table for four to celebrate my Mother in Laws Birthday. The four of us had eaten out the previous week elsewhere and that wasn’t the best experience but hasn’t been the worst. I feel since the Introduction of the new guidance for Restaurants, Pubs and Cafes have changed I think we all feel a bit nervous about keeping to the new guidance or we secretly are unsure what the latest guidance is...........rest assured these Guys will show you how it should be done!!We arrived for our pre booked reservation on time and was greeted straightaway and led to our table, we sat, removed our loving new face wear and settled in. A young lady then approached us ( I must add here that all Staff wear matching masks which all look clean and comfortable) she chatted about the Covid rules and procedures, discussed how we moved around the pub safely and then proceeded to talk us through the menu, talked to us about the new pizza oven etc etc, all whilst donning her mask and keep a safe social distance. None of this slap a menu on the table and leg it away as experienced at the last venue we attended. She then promptly took Our drinks order and instead of asking anyone else to prepare the drink, she did them herself and brought them directly to us.........it is at this point you realise The Management and Their Team have got it so right. The Manager then approached and again chatted about the menu and was happy to answer any questions or indeed change any items on your meal for you. Like the young lady who showed us to our table and the young lady who took our drinks order they all made us feel like normal. We ordered he left and the four of us all made comment on how they had all made an effort into making it such a lovely atmosphere whilst maintaining the new guidance and keeping us safe. Right on to the Food, for starters the In laws shared Gambas and the good lady and myself shared Dough Balls....both perfect, both well proportioned and were brought to the table quickly. The mains, one seabass, one rib-eye, two rump steaks. Well the steaks were cooked to perfection as well was the seabass. To summarise, booking a table - It’s straightforward and effortless, The Welcome - Effortless, The Staff and their knowledge of the guidelines and keeping you safe - Perfect, The Managment - Needs to hold seminars on “ how to conduct your business through these unusual times whilst still giving a slight taste of “Normality”, I know I have some applicants for him already. These Guys show you how it should be done. Thank You to All of the Staff, it was a perfect experience and we will be coming back real soon.......in fact I think our Children have already checked the pizza menu our for a takeaway

Visited here after a day at Alton Towers. We were starving and weren't disappointed with our food, my daughter said it was one of the best pies she'd ever had (BBQ Pulled Pork). Great service and friendly staff too.

Since moving up here in June we've struggled to find a local pub with good food . What can I say fantastic place plenty of covid 19 precautions in place . Lovely welcoming staff and excellent service we had blackpudding towers to start simply delicious and we both had steak for the main cooked perfectly and the peppercorn sauce was beautifully made. For dessert we had cheesecake and brulee WOW. So pleased we found this gem only 10 minutes from home . Thank you to all the staff and especially the chef . We will be coming again soon

Didn’t want to eat at the Alton Towers restaurants as I think the menu is limited. Found this on trip advisor and so glad we did, the food and service was amazing. The cookie dough dessert was amazing!

The people were very friendly and helpful as I have mobility problems they opened the side door for me. The Sunday lunch roast beef was beautifully tender with a great assortment of vegetables including a lovely red cabbage.I couldn’t resist a desert and the chocolate brownie with ice cream and raspberries just hit the spot.We will be back again.

We ate at the Red Lion a few weeks ago and as ever, had a great meal. There is lots of variety on the menu and a big selection of gluten free meals too including the pies. I had the mushrooms to start and then the fish and chips, would definitely recommend both!! Prices are very reasonable.Since reopening there is a clear one way system and plenty of hand sanitisers in both the entrance and the bar. Tables are nicely spaced out and staff are very accommodating. We felt very safe under the current circumstances.Staff as always were extremely friendly and attentive, not at all surprised you have to book in advance. Have recommended to friends and family and can’t wait to come again!!

We ate our evening meal as a family here, last week and it was fantastic! We ordered the gammon, thai green curry and a gluten free chicken supreme. The meals were a good size and we really enjoyed them. The staff were friendly and helpful. Definetly worth a return.

We ate at the Red Lion yesterday evening and were, as ever more than impressed. The 2 young waitresses were helpful, smiling and very professional. The food, prawns, mushrooms, followed by the gammon and a steak and red wine pie were delicious and beautifully presented, the Bailey's creme brulee was fabulous. Very well set up to accommodate the current restrictions, we had a wonderful evening and will return soon - the menu is brilliant.

Great to see what this pub has done since the covid shut down. Love the pizza oven and open plan prep area. Great to see the chefs making the pizzas. Easy and clear one way system and plenty of hand sanitizers about. Sat in the beer garden and loved the view. Not surprised you need to book a table. Excellent staff, management and friendly pub.

Just had our first takeaway pizza from the Red Lion. Absolutely amazing taste. Even watched Matt,head chef and owner, making them. He even took the time to explain how the oven worked and the technique used to throw the homemade dough. Love the new pizza preparation area great idea. Will definitely order again.

We were doing the Chrome Hill walk and called in for a drink before setting off. The ladies in the cafe were so welcoming, giving advice on the walk and even lending me a walking pole. This is a quaint, traditional tearoom with homemade cakes, quiches etc. Everything coming out of the kitchen was fresh and delicious. As a community hub there was also local produce to buy, including items to raise money for mountain rescue. Charming little place, well worth a visit, and even better when we bought cakes to bring home too - lip smackingly good!

We were staying over in Leek on a Sunday evening, wanting to sample some Staffordshire oatcakes the following morning, but the oatcake shop we wanted was closed on Monday! Poor planning. But luckily this place was open at 7.30 am and we found what we wanted here: oatcakes with various fillings such as bacon or tomato; all with cheese. If you've not tried them, Staffordshire oatcakes are very different to the Scottish biscuit that most people associate with 'oatcakes'. Here, they are a soft, flexible wrapper like a pancake, or perhaps a chapatti, made from a thin layer of a yeasted oatmeal/wheat batter griddled until it sets, then wrapped around your chosen filling. We took a pair of oatcakes with cheese and bacon, and a full English of 2 eggs, 2-3 bacon, 2 sausages, 2 toast, beans and tomatoes, plus extra hash browns. This was all in a takeaway tray - there is no table service here. It took about 10 minutes, which is fair enough as everything is cooked to order; but we were the only customers at that time. I imagine at busy times there could be quite a wait. The food was excellent, piping hot as you'd expect with it being cooked to order; and good value too, under £10 for the 2 breakfasts described above, though coffees added a bit more. Highly recommended.

Both the steak and chicken dishes were delicious and cooked to perfection. Though they didn’t look like large portions, they were surprisingly satisfying. The candied carrot cheesecake was absolutely lovely, while the banoffee pie didn’t quite meet my wife’s expectations—perfect excuse for a swap! In the end, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
