great working class no nonsense pub (with pool tables and super cheap beer), go there before it gets refurbished (ie gentrified)

We have been loyal customers of this establishment for many years. However, yesterday we encountered an unfortunate situation involving the new manager. His demeanor towards us was unacceptably rude and disrespectful, despite our polite behavior and efforts to maintain cleanliness. Furthermore, he made discriminatory remarks suggesting that non-English individuals, particularly those of Oriental or Asian descent, are not welcome at this establishment. Such prejudice is not only unprofessional but also unacceptable in today's diverse society.

Went here on Saturday to watch Everton v Chelsea… the game was dire but was one of the best parts of the evening. I am a full time wheelchair user and pulled into the car park to discover that the 2 disabled parking spaces had been “reallocated” as an outside seating area with 6 picnic benches… I managed to find one other “normal” space in the car park, wider than the rest, to enable me to get out of my car and into my wheelchair. When I spoke to the lady who said she was in charge that night, she said it was a decision taken by “higher management”, but would pass my comments on. Then we discovered that the kitchen is “closed until further notice” so plans to eat whilst watching the game went out of the window. Finally, to top it all, we asked for crisps to go with our drinks to be told, “Sorry, we’ve got no crisps or nuts at all”. Not just run out of 1 flavour but run out of crisps completely!! I won’t be rushing back… indeed, unless the disabled spaces are reinstated, I probably won’t be able to GET back! (Pictures of reallocation of spaces attached).

I turned up at the pub with my dog just after 8pm, whom they all made a fuss over and got him so water. I went to order some food but the barmaid told me the kitchen had just closed and she was very apologetic. I said ‘oh no! Oh well, thanks’ and headed back to my table. The next thing I know the chef came over to my table and said he overheard and that he felt bad as he was still there so was happy to make me something. I was so touched by this kind gesture! The portions were huge, the food was tasty and of course, great service! Will definitely be coming back, well done Red Lion!

It was fairly empty, it was a nice place but there were signs up saying there would be table service and not to go to the bar, but we waited a while and no one came over so we ended up having to go to the bar to get drinks. It's a good place to get a drink after doing the chess valley walk.

went on 15th july for an evening meal . food looked good and what little we ate tasted good but left in a hurry due to the loud disgusting talk by customers and bar staff. when we complained we were told it was a pub and we should go else where. one woman was even sucking on a plastic penis. we were glad the woman with her two children had left. an apology would have been nice but no such luck

To my mind this pub needs refreshing,it's a bit rough and ready.Did go there for a friends birthday,a buffet was arranged and the food was good.But there is no speration to eat food and did not feel comfortable the pub was noisy,the TV was on for the foot ball and there was a lot of shouting.For me there is a lot of others places to eat which are nicer.

Stopped in here last night ahead of a show at the Elgiva theatre. I ordered the all day breakfast (which comes with a few chips) for myself and ham, egg and chips for my wife, along with two drinks. There was some confusion on the part of the server who confused the all day breakfast with the English breakfast (smaller, with no chips and hash browns instead). After a visit to the kitchen it was sorted, and food arrived after about 20 mins All the food was OK, nothing special, Cafe type food, but perfectly edible ( we both cleared our plates).

Went in for lunch as working. Had to move tables as their was a very unkempt man there and smell was very bad! If I hadn't paid, I would have left. Meal was awful!! It was supposed to be New York Chicken. Chicken breast tasted like it was pre formed, like you buy in a pack of 12 from Iceland, utterly tasteless!! It was warmed up, not freshly cooked. Will not be visiting there again.

My friend and I came here on Friday for a meal and a catchup. There's plenty of seating and booths to choose from. We ordered two meals from the two for £10 list and there was so much on there I would be surprised if it didn't suit everyone. The food was good and for £5 each it was great value for money. I would definitely come back as it's local and the staff are lovely.

Visited today and despite it not being busy felt invisible ! The people who stood next to us were served and then the barmaid went out the back to stack the dishwasher . Only after several minutes she returned and took our order ... There was no one else at the bar so there really is no excuse

We spent the day in Chesham and ended up have a Sunday Roast in The Red Lion. The roast was reasonably priced at £8.50 (2016). I would recommend the roast with 3 veg and pots with Yorkshire pudding. The pub inside was average, food came in half an hour, the menu for other food was typical pub menu.

I just had a brilliant meal here! From the moment I walked in, the team greeted me warmly and really knew their stuff about the menu. The Shakshuka was absolutely spot on—delicious and well-presented—while the Salsiccia e Friarielli was perfection with a slight tweak to the base. Everything was so clean and inviting, plus the service was quick and friendly. Can’t wait to come back for more!

First Impressions, I was informed online that The Crown was open this morning, I visited to get a coffee and to have a look at how the alleged 3 Million had been spent, had to use the side door marked for ‘partners’, whatever that means? Was told that the pub was closed for another 30 minutes, so I had a quick look around . First impressions saddened me greatly, this is a lesson on how to ruin a country pub. What do I mean? The design theme is exactly what you would expect from a city centre refurbished hotel lobby, in my brief review there is of course no connection to the pubs history. This includes the fact that the new staff had no idea that I had been a customer of this pub for 37 years (a local) because the new management remove all bar one of the original greatly valued staff, well done. The only reason there is any sign of the character of the previous pub, is because it is a listed building. This refurb is pretentious and out of place, but will be great for group selfies. Boo hoo,, another great pub bites the dust.
