The Red Lion in Aylesbury Vale

Tried to go here for lunch today and sign on the door read " closed until further notice" nothing on the pub website to say this.

Went to stop there today for lunch but it's currently closed until further notice

Came in for a quick pint. Upon entering, Iwas greeted by friendly and helpful staff. After a quick drink the staff persuaded me to stay for one more.....................4 hours later I crawled out on my hands and knees with face ache from the constant laughter. The staff were fabulous, laughing at my dark humour and convincing my wife that I was on my way home safe and sound. Will come again when this horrific hangover subsides.

We have just enjoyed a really delicious Sunday lunch. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. Thank you Tim and Susanna and your team!

Lovely country pub.. welcoming bar staff, lovely surroundings.

Arrived no reservation for Sunday lunch. They were fully booked but squeezed, us in. Food was outstanding great service. Loved it

Good atmosphere and lovely staff

Nice rustic village pub, good food, friendly staff.

This is a quaint village pub, with welcoming hosts. The food was excellent, the batter on the fish was perfect. There were locals popping in for a pint, which you don't see in many places now.

11 hungry men attended for traditional Christmas Lunch. We had the full works. A well presented meal, great service, lovely atmosphere.

Lovely meal and atmosphere, nice varied small Sunday menu, the food came out piping hot and puddings were 👌 Will definitely be coming back.

I met friends at the Red Lion in the late summer and had a delicious meal. I thought it would be the perfect place for my birthday celebration. I ordered the same as I had on previous visit, the four meals we ordered were awful, mentioned it to the waitress, she was going to tell the kitchen, the puds were fine. Alarm bells should have rang, the table was very sticky, I had booked a week before but out table didn’t have cutlery only two other tables eating so not busy. When we got our meal we had to wait for cutlery, the same for ours too. We used our napkins as place mats, we kept sticking to the table! We mentioned the table and food to the young man who was doing the bar and serving drinks in the restaurant area after he asked how our meal was, he said he was having a mare of a night but has noted the table, sorry the usual chef is on holiday but would be back in 10days, as if that made it okay. . . . . So sad as The Red Lion is local to us. Later learned the chef on the night is the owner/manager.

Staff are always so friendly and the food is phenomenal, highly recommend the goats cheese fritter!

Just the sort of pub I like - quiet, country location, not too fancy inside, great food and friendly staff. The management were very accommodating when we needed to switch tables before the booking because a dog was coming. No fuss. Recommended.

We went here for a drink and a meal. The place was empty at 7pm on a Saturday evening and we soon discovered why. The food was awful. I couldn't eat the fish and chips because to my surprise the fish was peppered! The mushy peas were also peppered and it all appeared microwaved, poor quality food. The staff weren't at all bothered that I left nearly all my food uneaten. Terrible attitude.

We went to The Red Lion on Sunday. Had a lovely Sunday lunch. Beautifully presented, great selection of vegetables and nicely cooked. Staff very polite and attentive. Highly recommend wish we lived nearer. Hopefully back sometime soon

Excellent food and a lovely community feel

Stumbled across this friendly pub on the way back to Milton Keynes from Bicester. Lovely staff and a well priced and tasty Sunday Roast.

Delicious food and excellent service. Perfect

Really good time here. Staff very friendly and food was amazing

Lovely pub just off the main road, really nicely friendly staff and good food. What else could you ask for

Great evening very good staff. And yummy food. Thanks. 🍺🥂🎉🎉👍

Great food, drink and atmosphere!

The new couple who have taken over the RL a few months ago are really getting it right IMO. I have been for food about 6 times for various lunch and dinners and it is always spot on. The Chef is not trying too hard but whatever he serves is cooked and presented really well. The Date Night on a thursday is the best value deal anywhere locally and once again last night I had the steak and my wife had the Salmon Salad Nicoise and both were simply excellent! £30 for two main meals including a bottle of (decent) wine is exceptional. Also worth noting that they have done up the front and rear gardens ,the Fullers beers is in superb order and the welcome is very friendly. HArd to fault as a great local!

Great place for drinks & eats.....friendly staff & cosy pub.

A lovely pub with friendly people.

One of the best local pubs I've ever visited...... the bar staff are friendly, caring and welcoming. Within minutes I felt like I was a local and engrossed in the locals banter. The food is delish........ Jess the chef is is always happy to adapt any order to suit your needs. The gin selection and knowledge is outstanding, and I've had a few good night's sampling. I make an effort to visit as often as I can and look forward to seeing Georiga & Lucy the next time I go.....

Fabulous atmosphere as soon as we walked in, lovely lunch and we will look forward to return. All the staff were excellent and the pub was just as we had hoped it would be

Just had my 50th birthday meal. Lovely waitress and meal. Definitely come back again. Catered for my granddaughter and the rest of my family without being intrusive

Lovely quaint pub. Staff very friendly and helpful. Nice touches in the restaurant, fresh flowers and jars of lavender. Menue was very varied something for everyone. Food well presented and very very tasty. Will return.

We were having a pre Christmas Christmas get together with family and lots of dogs. Went for a long walk from Tingewick and ended up in Finmere at the pub sitting outside with 5 dogs. We were invited in and we were made very welcome...

A badly run village pub which is becoming more and more run down by the week. The outside is frankly a mess. It looks dirty and uncared for, filthy windows, weeds, in own grass, broken furniture...and the inside is not much better.The beer is average quality for above average prices, the staff were uninterested at best and downright ignorant at worst. The landlady / manageress needs some serious customer service training, throwing tantrums in front of your customers is just embarrassing for everyone.The food is shocking. Over priced unappetising and inedible - our complaint was met by rudeness.How can people get it so wrong?

Myself and my wife and son stopped here for lunch. The pub was very clean and well laid out. We ordered our drinks and food and sat in the garden. Within ten minutes the food was on the table it was fresh and tasty and...

Friendly awesome landlady & landlord food was great new chef called Pete best london Pride I've had ever

Excellent steak with onion rings, tomato, mushroom and home cooked fries all beautifully presented. The steak was so tender the knife just slid through and not a scrap was wasted, delicious 😋 x
