The Red Lion in West Oxfordshire

Lovely pub well worth a visit. Cheap prices and very friendly

Absolutely lovely staff, young lady with glasses gave top notch service! Great selection on menu, Gluten-free fish and chips was bangin - homemade curry sauce 😋 highly recommend. Space for everyone, lots of tables, fair prices and lovely staf. Thanks chef!

Watching the football game on TV. Decent place with beer garden. They do baps or sandwiches from the shack in the garden during the morning. Neglected by hook Norton brewery. Yearly maintenance due. But overall good experience. Small pub with selection of draughts. Crisps for bar snacks. Large car park. Parking next to the fox. Small parking next to beer garden.

Had one drink didn't stay long the toilets looked like they could do with a good clean

It's a run down dump of a place. As i walked in a young guy who was walking out stared,too long,straight at me. As I stood at the staffless bar,waiting for service it dawned on me that the young starer was probably the barman. I waited,nothing. I then got a phone call and took that as devine intervention that I should go elsewhere. So I did. Avoid.

It's a dive bar, for when you're fed up with the pretty pubs on the high street.

This little bar is basic but packed with friendly locals. Bar tender was friendly and helpful. There's a great choice at the bar, including some lovely local ales and lagers. Really reasonable prices too. We enjoyed a couple in here.

great beer, great place, welcoming and all round good pub

Die Bestellung von einem Pint Real Ale wurde entgegengenommen und dann wurde Hook Norton ins Glas gepumpt. Es konnte mit Kreditkarte bezahlt werden.

Just what a pub should be. A proper little boozer.

A proper pub, you don't see these places too often. It's basic, small and comfortable in the best possible sense, and I immediately felt despite being a stranger. The barman and other customers are friendly and the beer is very enjoyable. There is a small beer garden, with a large outdoor TV, so it's great to go and watch football and enjoy a nice beer.

Best pint of Hooky Best today served by Steve Always a good pint from the red but Steve’s pints today on this sunny day in pretty garden 🪴 is superb 👍👍

Old fashioned pub, you’ve gotta love it Come here for a pint, a night out, or even just a catch up it’s class. The barman (Steve) is lovely aswell, what more can you want really. End of the day, come here if you want a good night out!

We visited both nights for drinks only on our weekend away and enjoyed ourselves. The service was good and the beer was spot on. They show sport here (even have a screen outside) and we were able to catch the Derby at Epsom. We liked what they had done to the garden. It was more of a pub than a gastro pub but we liked that.

While I enjoyed the food I was shocked and horrified to see the chef pet and clap a customers dog then go back into The Shack and never washed his hands. Some time later he rubbed his hands on a tea tea towel. Previously I’d seem him flatten a burger for a customer using the palms of his hands so was horrified to see this. No adherence to basic food hygiene standards!!! Sadly this spoilt what had been till then a pleasant evening.

Passing through chipping Norton and decided to pop into the red lion, fantastic beer and a beautiful garden to boot, great find 🍺

We happened upon the red lion looking for a venue for lunch and refreshingly they were relaxed about us not having booked and Chad seating in the sun. Friendly welcome and we had fabulous burgers . Really very good. £30 for two people with wine. Great find

Alice and Steve are booth wonderful hosts

Traditional town pub, great Hook Norton beers, friendly locals, Alice behind the bar very helpful. What more do you want from a great local pub.

Still a good old local with fantastic beer, nicely decorated and smartened up, all the sports channels and friendly locals

Pleasant " country " pub in a small town 👍

This is a pub. It's a small pub, a town pub. It doesn't change much over the years thank goodness. It serves a small local clientele and a few occasional visitors like me. The brewery is Hook Norton so the ale is fine. If you've never been to an English country town pub before do try it because, if you're open to absorbing the unique Cotswold ambience, you won't be disappointed. You'll be the richer. Ask about Aunt Sally.

Superb atmosphere,cuisine,ales,wines & spirits plus amazing professional management and staff.

Quaint little pub, great for a pint or two

This is located on a street parallel to the main street so a little off the tourist track. That said there were other 'out of towners' who had sought this pub out and I can see why. Very well kept real ale and friendly service. Good atmosphere throughout the pub and even in the garden, where a group were playing Aunt Sally. We really enjoyed our time there and will go again when we are in the area.

Dropped in for a quick pint before heading home. It was immediately obvious that this was a traditional town pub.. Dart Board inside and Aunt Sally in the Garden. Rugby on the TV. Very warm welcome and a perfect pint of Hook Norton Seasonal (Inspire). Very friendly locals as well, we were offered to share a table tow watch the Rugby, but alas we didn't have time. Interesting food option with a large pizza oven in the garden.

Workin away with the lads, called up and asked if they'd show rugby league match, happy to oblige when nowhere else would, barman tom is a top man

Great cheap proper old style pub

Nice people. Rugby on TV. What's not to like!

I was there when I was overseas in the 70's. I met Gerry Rafferty & his band. What a memorable moment!

old type pub friendly does not matter what you wear. Not maby of these left

Having family down the day, it was difficult finding somewhere open for food at 6pm on a Sunday. The vegatetarian option was good as were the fish n chips.The rump steak was sliced and chewy for £20.Pity they do not offer a decent sirloin for a few pounds extra from the only butcher in town.Not planning returning especially with desserts at £7.50.Nice atmosphere.

Friendly ĺòçal . Like walking into someone's front room

It seems it is impossible to give less than one star. Enough said.

A really lovely pub, staff and customers are friendly. Will definitely be back.

Nice place, friendly, will visit again.

Had a good afternoon here a couple of dick heads came in but the big Canadian barman held his own nice Bar.Vincent Higgins Co. Armagh Ireland 🇮🇪☘

Small, traditional pub. Most nights they don't do food. However, they do offer excellent handmade pizzas on Friday and Saturday nights, available for take away or eating in. Hook Norton ales, which is always a plus, and friendly staff.

Great little pub. No frills, best pint of Hooky in the world. And they do lager as well.
