We came here as a group of approximately 20 for my nextdoor neighbours 85th birthday. We were sat at some tables in an area of the pub so would could all be together which was great. The pub did a buffet which was very nice and enough for everyone to have a good feed! The drinks were good and not too expensive. All in all this was a very enjoyable evening and I would recommend this venue to anyone in the area. Thank you Red Lion for making my neighbour's birthday one to remember 👍

The Red Lion is a traditional British Pub offering excellent food, drink and great hospitality. The Steak & Ale Pie is home made and is probably the best that you could get anywhere. A great place to meet, eat and drink.

I work away a lot in and out of the country. But the red lion is a welcome home every time. It is always a warm and friendly environment. The service is beyond reproach, always happy. The staff are a real credit to the Everards brand!! I would recommend this pub! Please keep up the good work Red Lion, especially Tuesday, Friday and Sunday.

About 14 of us had pre booked lunch prior to a local walk. There were other largish groups already in when we arrived and tables of 2 and 4 as well. The kitchen must be so well managed! The food came out timely. Excellent food whatever you ordered. The Roast Beef dinner was superb. Lovely meat, very good quality and lots of it plus plenty of vegetables and potatoes. And at under £5 this was outstanding value. Would have loved to have tried the desserts but too much eaten on the main! The beer was well kept and staff pleasant. The only disappointment was the beer I intended trying had run out but there were 3 other options. So an excuse to go back sometime soon!

I visited this pub which is in my area, with three friends. As soon as you walk into the bar area you feel welcome and the smell of food being cooked. It is not a large eating area, but the tables are very clean and a nice touch of a little plant on each table. The staff were very nice, and the main thing was that we did not wait long for the food to be served. In all it was a very pleasant evening and the food was really good. Will certainly have a return visit well done Red Lion.

Visited Friday evening, 15th Nov. Decided to try the chicken shawarma from the weekend specials menu. Compliments to the chef, it was amazing. We were extremely well looked after by our host, Josie, nothing was too much trouble for her. Thankyou Steve and Michelle.

Update 23.11.24: Can't say a word!! Amazing dinner! Thanks for everything - My father ❤️ 🙏 71st birthday 🎉 🎉! Thanks 👍🏻 amazing service and food still top 5* Update 15.09.24: We were pleasantly surprised by this place. Having tried several local pubs, we're delighted to have such a good one in our village! We hadn't had the chance to try the food here until today, but we and our friends and family really enjoyed it. The service was exceptional! Special thanks to Jack. The food was delicious and fresh. The burger patty was especially tasty, and the chicken breast strips weren't the frozen, breaded kind of homemade and tender. Thank you for the great service! We'll definitely be back. Just popped in for a Shandy - i wanted to share it with my wife 😂 - she didn't like it 😭 so next time something else, maybe a cider 👍 The place is nice clean and cosy ( was really warm inside).

We arrived in the doorway and the couple in front were checking out the meny and subsequently took their order and showed them to a table. We were shown to a sticky wobbly table in a nearly empty restaurant and told she would return to take our order. No eye contact was made whilst she continued back and forward to the kitchen and tables. In the meantime the previous couple had been served their meal. Just at the point we thought we would go elsewhere (approx 30 minutes) another waitress took our order by which time the other customers were finishing their meal. The worst yet was to come, a terrible vegetarian breakfast. of cold eggs and undercooked hash browns and the worst tasting vegetarian sausage ever, inedible. The other meal of fish and chips was of a poor standard of undercooked chips underwhelming fish and cold peas. When paying first of all i was given other persons bill and then asked to complete a review questionnaire. We explained the meal was terrible and she said hence why we want the form filled in. Apart from feeling very cold and having to keep our coats on we never felt any great customer service. They certainly need a chef who knows how to cook food. it was poor on every level and it will never be repeated.
