The Red Lion in Cannock Chase

Had my husbands suprise 40th birthday at the Red Lion. It was fab. Sharon was so helpful with everything and made sure everything was OK. The food was lovely, fresh and plenty. Thankyou so much. All the staff were lovely and friendly and kept the drinks flowing especially the baby Guinness's 🫣 highly recommended if your looking to hold a party/celebration

Do not come here if you are a person of colour. Firstly we tried to order some food & we were told they aren’t serving food which a couple that was at the pub then told us they were serving food. People continued to stare and make us feel very uncomfortable. The pub also stunk of cigarettes. Do not recommend

Been for a Sunday carvery a couple of times with family and it's always been excellent. Plenty of food that is really good quality and tasty. Highly recommend.

Myself & my partner came last night 25/10/24 , we had a great night . Sharon & Tony are great hosts , very friendly . Great drinks & atmosphere .

Red Lion, Brereton. Lovely carvery, well cooked with a variety of veg on offer. This week was beef and/or turkey. The buttery mash is wonderful!

Lovely fresh food, nice welcoming staff. Ladies toilets all had loose seats but otherwise a great pub.

Great Sunday lunch Carvery and fabulous puds great food and wonderful service from Sharon and Tony and their team can’t wait till our next visit for midweek meet up 5 stars

The food was amazing, and the staff were friendly, I would drive all the way back here just for the food 40 minutes away from me, amazing 😋

Incredible food and service, you will not be disappointed and the price point is great.

Amazing food and amazing service and the owners are so welcoming would definitely recommend anyone to com e to this wonderful pub and restaurant

Been here several times never fails to please really good food

Lovely little place, sharon and her team always with a smile and warm comments, i wish we lived closer

We come here once a week. The food is amazing all homemade which is a bonus. Fully recommend the cottage pie. the staff are warm and welcoming. Just an overall great experience

Come here a few hours a week. Great food and selection of beers? Large carpark and beer garden. Fantastic staff and always a warm welcome.

We visited 4 Sep 24 had cod and chips excellently cooked,served very tasty recommend to all for a very good meal and service

I just want to leave our feedback on the take away carvery roast dinner we had yesterday. Simply the best roast dinner we've had in a long time. Beautiful thick slices of meat and piping hot veg plus delicious gravy. So much packed into a box and such good value for money. We'll definitely be back as we thoroughly enjoyed it....😀 My only niggle and this is by no means the Red lions fault but it may have upset some people was the utterly foul language from the group of men sitting on the benches outside. We had to walk past them to enter the pub and heard every filthy word. I wouldn't like my family to have to hear that. I feel it's a shame as they seemed like they may have been regulars...

We went to this pub, there were 3 adults and a 3 year old. The food was absolutely lovely and reasonably priced. There are some tables outside that the kids can run around and let out some energy. There were some crayons and pictures for the kids to colour. The gentleman that served us was lovely, and nothing was too much trouble. I will be going again.

The only reason I dropped the atmosphere to 4 stars was the DJ testing his equipment (a bit loud!), Overall very good.

Staff are amazing all friendly. Speak to everyone with such kindness. All inclusive overall amazing atmosphere!!

Good value for money. Booked a table in advance, which is always the best way. All the food is freshly prepared and cooked, no processed food here. Choice of two meats and plenty of vegetables to indulge in and the chef is on hand to answer any questions. Maybe the only criticism is that the food may be severed a bit hotter but that’s a personal choice.

Been going here for a few weeks now for lunch very beautiful home cooked food tried different things and all been beautiful

Lovely relaxing time, food was great would recommend to anyone passing by 👍👍😀

We had a great time here, had our daughter's birthday party there, it was fantastic lovely food & atmosphere, will definitely be going back there soon XX 😃

Very friendly pub good atmosphere. Food is really good and good value too. Well worth a visit

Pop in with my dog for a pint sit out side nice pub friendly staff

Just had the most lovely Carvery at the Red Lion Brereton with my dad and daughter. The staff are all so friendly, nice relaxed atmosphere. All of the food was exceptional. Fresh veggies (peas carrots and my fave cabbage!) beautiful cauliflower and broccoli cheese. Nice buttery mash and crispy roasties. Great flavour to the beef, and the pork was absolute perfection! Trimmings of stuffing balls, pigs in blankets and a yorkie topped off with the richest meaty gravy. I then realised they did takeaway, and boxed up another to take home for my fella. *As a side note, my daughter works in catering and she made a comment that the food hygiene standard was really good. Food was covered over when no one was being served. All food was freshly prepared and brought out in small batches so it stayed fresh and wasn’t standing for ages. And the serving area was extremely clean and tidy* Would recommend this place for a banging Sunday lunch!!

went friday evening food was absolutely lovely home made chips where the absolute best.the pork belly husband was happy as it was a big proper piece which he loved. been a few times and always have a good time xxxx

Great food, fantastic atmosphere and service x

As a family, we really enjoy visiting the Red Lion. We've had many lovely meals there, the portion sizes are always very generous and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. There's always a variety of different social events from family fun days to music nights that are well organised and great fun. Tony and Sharon are very welcoming and always happy to accommodate our large brood. The kids love playing the table football and my husband enjoys the darts and pool. It's a great place to relax and unwind. Their new menu made up of locally sourced meats and produce is fabulous (A great way to support the community) I'm always excited to see what the specials are and the carvery is top notch. I have a bit of a sweet tooth myself and the puddings are always mouth watering. In a recent visit I had the biscoff cheesecake and it was incredibly moreish. Highly recommend this pub.

Lovely pub my first visit service was quick & friendly, beer was good and very reasonable price, plenty to keep you entertained, toilets were excellent.

Nip in for quick drink frendly staff nice atmosphere

Always an absolute pleasure to visit for The Psychic Specials, a fabulous welcome by Sharon, Tony and all.......see you all again soon xxxx

The last 18months has seen the red lion improve week after week with the current landlord and landlady making many changes from live entertainment to the all new menu which is fantastic. The food is spot on as well as the entertainment making a great atmosphere and a place that is well worth a visit. Sunday carvery is very good and booking is recommended.

Today we had a Sunday Carvery at The Red Lion Brereton, for £11 each it was excellent, the food was tasty and nice and hot, everything was cooked to perfection and you had a good selection to choose from, the staff were so friendly and service was excellent. Well done to Sharon, Tony and your team.

Not a local to the area by any means but it’s “my local” and there’s always a warm welcome here. Always look forward to a visit to the red lion whether it be for a drink, food or entertainment. Thank you as always 🙏🏻

Absolutely stunning meal! We absolutely love going to the Red Lion, the staff are so friendly and the new managers have made the place thriving again! Looking forward to going for a carvery on a Sunday! We regularly enjoy going to see their live entertainment and the pub is also dog friendly and we love taking our pup, she likes to make herself at home on the sofas🤣 Keep up the amazing work team!!

New home cooked food menu and tried the panani and home cooked chips.... was beautiful. Hoping to come back to try the specials next time. Great service and Tony and Sharon really looks after their customers

New home cooked food menu looks great. I had the panini and home cooked chips and it was brilliant. Will be back to try their specials I hope

I visited the Red Lion on Thursday evening with a friend and we loved our experience the new menus are much improved and there is plenty of choice for everyone! Plus’s the food was out of this world and very tasty. Definitely worth a visit if you local or passing by.

The Red lion used to be my Granddad's local back in the day so when bringing my partner back to visit my parents I knew exactly which pub I wanted to take him to. Even though the Red Lion has changed hands many times since my Granddad's day it was good to see that it is still as charming and inviting as ever. The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. staff were very friendly and they even welcomed our very hyper active spaniel. We were told that when we arrived they were starting a new menu and getting away from the big chains and becoming independent. If the meal we had was anything to go by the new menu will certainly be a success. If your looking for a pub with a warm welcoming atmosphere and good honest Food then I highly recommend The Red Lion

Wow , went here Friday evening for a very rare night out .. what an amazing night . Pub was packed , lovely age groups . Very friendly . Had a singer on . I had so much fun . And will definitely be visiting again. Popped in for food a couple of times , the food is to die for . 💯 recommended 😘

Had a Sunday carvery here, first time I’ve eaten here for 5 years, it’s my local and had stopped going due to old management and poor quality but now the food was lovely staff were extremely helpful and welcoming and spent under£50 for 4 of us and deserts will definitely be going back 👍

Gad a lovely Christmas day meal. Everything was cooked well, served hot and tasted great.

Lovely friendly staff. Nothing is too much trouble. Turkey Sunday dinner was beautiful and plenty of it. No room for a sweet. Within walking distance and a great atmosphere. Highly recommended

Great night at the pool match...should av brushed the gaffer🤣🤣😉🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

We went as a family of six and really enjoyed our visit. The staff are friendly and efficient and the restaurant area is very spacious and an attractively laid out. We had Sunday lunch which was very tasty and had a nice variety of different items. The prices are not the cheapest but the service you get makes this alright.

A lovely Sunday lunch, I had roast beef, lovely and tender. My husband had roasted turkey, and he enjoyed it, too. it was a great value for money, and I absolutely enjoyed my sticky toffee pudding with custard, yummy! Definitely go again.

A warm welcome from the landlord and landlady who served a warming tasty meal. Very dog friendly. 👍

Lovely clean refreshing pub, well decorated and friendly environment. Our 2nd visit in recent times and will definitely be back plus have booked in for boxing day. Full list of entertainment available plus halloween and Christmas parties.

Well where do I start.. i did leave a great review for this pub but the new owner has shown his true colours, he's the rudest man we have ever met.. he made my misses feel awful shouting at her last time we went in blaming her for something she clearly didn't do.. made my eldest daughter and her boyfriend feel unwelcome when they arrived, told us all to Finnish our drinks and leave.. it's been our local for over 15 years but unfortunately this new owner is going to ruin it treating people like this to be honest if it's making him so miserable he should leave !!!

This is a great pub for a casual lunch/dinner with friends.Lovely comfortable atmosphere.Tasty and well presented food, perfectly cooked steak Would highly recommend

Lovely staff great atmosphere delicious food highly recomend for a good day/night out

We went to celebrate the passing of our dad the meal was really amazing they brought out 16 hot meals within not time the 1st as good as the last portions were good the food was excellent beer good aswell thanks x

Quiet lunchtime visit but food was a huge improvement on the last time we visited. Place looks lovely and clean. Will definitely be back

Great food and a friendly pub, plenty of comfortable seating Sharon and Tony very flexible, even though we were a bit late dining they still made sure we had an excellent meal

Everything was Great lovely pub and outdoor seating nice atmosphere

Sharon & Tony & team are all very welcoming. Food is tasty. Place is clean. Beer is good.

Lovely food, friendly staff, casters well for gluten free and vegetarian options. Would highly recommend.

had a lovely Sunday lunch there last week and can honestly say that food was delicious and staff were lovely and friendly,very welcoming and alovely family atmosphere. will definitely be returning.

I had Mexican nachos and fish and chips and it was excellent. and very good value! Very welcoming staff! Nothing was too much trouble!

Outstanding service and food . A warm welcome and very reasonable prices . Couldn’t have been more friendly or welcoming. Good food enjoyed by all washed down with some excellent ales

We’re a group of crafters that also get together for lunch. We arrived around 10am and were shown to a lovely spacious room, where we had a lovely cuppa and did a little bit of crafting and a lot of chatting. We ordered our lunch just after 12 and were pleased to see gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegan options, all reasonably priced. The staff were very attentive and accommodating to our specific needs. The food was wonderful and was served quickly. There’s disabled parking, disabled toilets, and disabled entryway. We had so much fun we’re going back next week. All in all a brilliant family run establishment.

Food is outstanding, very friendly management and staff can't do enough for you,even the dogs are made welcome. Always look forward too visiting

If you are a pensioner looking for a good quality lunchtime meal visit the Red lion where a warm welcome and good food awaits you

A good local pub with friendly landlords

Visited this pub late on Saturday afternoon for a few drinks with friends for drinks and ended up having something to eat as well food was lovely cooked perfectly and drinks was equally as nice great service and helpful staff will definitely be back a little hidden gem big thanks to the landlord and lady Toni and Sharon for making it a great experience

Had a lovely meal couldn't fault it will be back . Thank you 😊

Came to celebrate a 40th birthday. Very disappointed. Long wait on the food. Quite small portions. The grazer menu was really awful. The nachos were soggy and had no jalapeños or chives. Chicken wings and pork ribs very dry and tasteless. Had the dirty fries, again no taste. Other people at the table ate them due to the small portions. Drinks incredibly expensive, £10.50 for a beer and a glass of wine. Such a shame as the interior was lovely and cosy. Still got charged full price despite the fact most of my meal was left untouched.

One of the best pubs in the area. The owners are lovely and the beer is great.

Wonderful place to have dinner, staff where fabulous and the food excellent nothing I can say to put a negative on this place.

We recently visited the Red Lion for some drinks and what a lovely warm and inviting atmosphere. Great product selection and well priced. Will definitely be returning.

Great atmosphere, and service. Band nights are a must .First Tuesday of the month.

Sharon and Tony are warm and welcoming lovely pub , great food, would highly recommend, family friendly.

Regular visitor here with my family,and I can honestly say what a fab place. The Red Lion is under new management,serving lovely food and has amazing entertainment. Family and dog friendly which is a bonus. Definitely worth a visit.

Our first time attending this venue whilst under new management and we where welcomed by the new management team upon entry, dispite being very busy with a private party. Obtaining drinks and snacks from the bar area, was easy and pleasant. There was a strong...

Never been before,but pleasantly surprised. Good service,good food. Much better than many pub chains around.

My first time there and I was very pleasantly surprised, the staff were very friendly and couldn't do enough for me, the customers were the same, with lots of hi's and hellos, Couldn't fault the food taste and quality It was excellent, nice and hot and I didn't have to wait long, I will definitely be revisiting.

First time eating here since new management take over. We had a lovely Sunday lunch meal today. Staff very accommodating with our request on the meat choice and it was perfect in every way. Very tasty and plenty of variety on the plate. Will definitely be booking in again soon. Thankyou.

We visited on Tuesday evening for dinner 03/01/23. The pub was pretty much empty but we found out that it had just changed hands. We were made to feel very welcome and we ordered our food. When the food came it was lovely. Well cooked...

We decided no cooking and no washing up for Christmas,glad we chose here. Great welcome,food was lovely and that gravy on the lamb shank was divine. Would recommend highly👍

Very cosy and friendly, meals really good and service for a large group.

Had a wonderful time yesterday at their band night. Lovely burger before hand and fantastic entertainment. New Landlord, Landlady and the team have done a great job

Always an amazing atmosphere at the Red Lion! Sharon, Tony & Staff are always so welcoming and warm! Our food was great, we really enjoyed our visit and we will most definitely be back 🥰

Really nice pub/restaurant but it was for a very sad occasion, my friends funeral

This venue has only rrecently been taken on by the present management. However, the hospitality is second to none. First Class dining facility with quality meals. The brewery now need to get a grip of the public bar areas. Some decoration and refurbishment is needed to complete the takeover package in support of the new management.

Staff were friendly. Drinks moderately priced. Can't really say much else

Feel that it is only right to express our anger and disappointment we have with the red lion after our visit this afternoon. We decided to visit after remembrance parade. A family of 9 of us with 5 young children. First of all we walked in and felt like as if we didn’t belong there. Ordering was terrible. Very slow and inaccurate leaving us with missing food for one of the children. When asked if we could put through an order for the missing dish Sallie said I can do but you will have to wait a long time because the chef is doing Sunday lunches. ( the dish missing was a child’s sausage and mash) not a large dish. So we said forget it we can’t wait that long we will make a meal up with the food we had In front of us. Our 5 children was sat fairly quietly eating their dinner and once finished went to go an play outside. Like most children do in the red lion. There was one other couple in the area where we were eating and Sallie decided to shout at the top of her voice from the bar up to where we were sat up the stair. Can you tell your kids to stop screaming and running around because people are eating their dinners. I can 100% and so can that other couple vouch that our children was not running around. Yes they were a little loud through playing and excitement but they were walking from outside to where we were sat. Roughly 10 foot away from door to table. She reckons she shouted us from the bar whilst serving a customer before her public rant Infant of other customers at the bar. Which we only heard her once. Even the chef looked at us as if to say wow what is going on. We quickly left after feeling completely embarrassed over her public rant to us. We decided to come back in to express our concerns to the manager. When we asked her she became very aggressive and said he’s not about he’s upstairs. Started shouting at us again In front of customers when the manager finally come down he didn’t take any interest in what we were saying. Yes it is a restaurant and people are eating and children need to be under control. Ours weren’t exactly causing much of a fuss But this WAS a family friendly pub and we visit quite regular but after today we won’t be returning. And I suggest if the new owners want to succeed they need a rejig of staff because not only was she rude to us she has a face like thunder and isn’t approachable. Very loud and obnoxious.

We are regular to this pub and have used it for both the restaurant and for regular drinking purposes. We have always seen it as a family friendly pub and every manager that has been in this pub has always made it a family friendly...

Tried the steak night. Booked for a table of 5 and on turning up to be told they only had 3 steaks left. Not the best start. Steaks were cooked well though. The veg on the side was cold for one of us. Let's hope it improves else yet again The Red Lion will be seeking new owners.

They have only been in the pub for 3 weeks and with no chef on duty when we visited at lunchtime,we were made to feel very welcome. We were keep well informed regards our order, and the food we had was very good. Tasty, nicely...

Nice pub, good food. I had the fish and chips, my mum had the chicken and bacon salad. Would come again

Had tea, coffee and biscuits after a walk, 40 walkers. Staff very helpful, polite etc

Very clean pub fantastic service

Lovely pub! Friendly staff great atmosphere will be back 👍🏻

Me and my friend went to red lion brereton, as we were told it was under new management, it was absolutely beautiful,meal was hot, very friendly people, and was so nice as a elderly resident of brereton to come for a hot lovely meal within walking distance for us being old age pensioners. Thank you so much, definitely be recommending to family x Brenda canning

Food and service both first class,will definitely return.

Very friendly lovely pint would recommend

My husband and I decided on a whim to go for something to eat. The pub is under new management, the staff are all very friendly. The meals were absolutely spot on,they were piping hot and absolutely delicious. We will visit more often

Just stumble over a Gem as we were out looking for some where different to eat and we definitely wasn't disappointed. Food was beautiful proper home cooking. Yorkshire pudding best iv had for a long time and staff very friendly to . definitely will be back.

Very pleased to see this pub under new management. The last manager ran it in to ground. But things are definitely on the up. Food was lovely and the waitress Shannon was lovely and friendly even funny. Fast and friendly service what more could you...
