Second week have attacked the new Fish and Chip Menu. If anything it was better than first week. The Skate was full of flesh Scampi was large pieces The batter was crisp and tasty a substantial portion of great chips. Shotley residents support our local.

Highly recommended!!! When you walk in you are always welcomed with friendly staff and surrounding. The food is a perfect 5 stars by far for what you are paying, nothing I can say will turn you away if you want a good pub meal and drink. Also events that goes on here like cars meets, fun days etc makes me want to keep coming back. Well done to Sarah the landlady and Jamie for running a great all round pub :)

Lovely friendly people who run pub, very knowledgeable about beers they sell. Fantastic pub food, chips and onion rings are really good as is the lemon roulade. The landlady also deals with the bookings for the camping field behind them which is nice and level and a really good base for exploring Shotley.

Went for the car meet and didn't really know what to expect but happy to say it was a truly lovely experience. The staff were outstanding, polite, happy and very kind, even though they were incredibly busy (340ish cars at the meet alone), we didn't wait long at the bar, the food arrived quickly and was delicious. Perfect chips! The toilets were as clean at the end of the night as they were when I arrived at 5.30.

First meal out since pubs reopened for me, the owners were very friendly and got our food out quickly, despite there only being two of them there for lunchtime. There weren't as many drinks available as they normally have, but you should expect that after recovering from lockdown. Ordered the Mexicano burger which was delicious!

Nice little pub but I've taken off 2 stars for the way Sarah handled my complaint when finding paper in my meal. Clearly the same paper towel as the chef used to dry the salad but no discount or meal free, not even a free drink. Not good customer relations. Didn't go back after that.

A surprisingly warm, friendly welcome from the lady publican; unusual for a non local in a remote pub. Adnams and Aspal cider. Great food choice; cooked meals and bar food. Very much a community pub with many trophies and charitable causes. Lovely walking area, not far from Ipswich or you can cross the bay from Harwich by ferry.

Came here with a big group, the staff were absolutely lovely and the food was some of the best I've ever had at a pub, at an amazing price. I think the chips might have been the best I've ever eaten!! Only downside was that because we were such a big party (12) our food came out at different times so some were finished before some had started.

My husband myself and our 🐕 were staying over for the night and a nearby ⛺site ,one of the locals had told us how this pub restaurant had gone down hill and was only a 🌟 and to avoid . We always like to try places for ourselves, and make up our own minds , we were not disappointed .very quiet only 1 young couple with a toddler eating a meal when we arrived and a group with a child arrived abit later and maybe a couple more who just came in for a drink . We were welcomed with a smile by a very friendly chap who served behind the bar, took our food order, waited on us , and made a fuss of our dog 🦴. The menu had a variety of different dishes, and food was full of flavour . I would definitely recommend the red lion .

Found this place online . Was looking for a nice little family pub to take the kids on a Saturday early evening somewhere with some stuff for the children to do . Looked on their website and they had pictures of a big children’s play area with lots of things for them to do . So all excited jumped in the car took the 30 minute drive there to walk into the garden and not a children’s toy in sight 🤦🏻‍♂️ my heart sank . Was completely shocked no mention on the website or anywhere that’s it’s now gone . Saying that if you haven’t got kids and want a nice quiet pub with a ok garden it’s not a bad place but definitely won’t be going back .staff where friendly.
