The Red Lion in Braintree

Had a meal at the Red Lion lunchtime today and I must say it was very impressive. The staff were very professional and the service was excellent. The menu was amazing plenty of choice considering it was lunchtime. The pub had quite alot of customers and they varied. Couples, children and dogs, so it says alot about the pub. Definitely a pub to try, I don't think people will be disappointed.

Another lovely evening at the Red Lion, superb gluten free menu, can highly recommend the beer battered fish and chips. Attentive but not over bearing staff and Sarah and Andy are great hosts. Thank you Team Red Lion!

Friendly pub serving great food.

The pub food here does not disappoint. Had the steak and ale pie, tender meat deliciousness with a light buttery puff pastry, served with selection of fresh vegetables and mash. My husband had the pork ribs coated in the tastiest sauce, the coleslaw (I think homemade) and salad was so fresh. The quality was excellent 👌

Had a good burger here. Great fries. The menu reads well.

Friendly pub-with lovely staff and dog friendly. Food and service really good, nice atmosphere - busy but offered drinks straight away and food service was quick

Lovely warm and welcoming atmosphere, very friendly helpful staff,excellent quality food with many options.Plenty of choice behind the bar for drinks which have many options for Gin lovers

Great local eatery with delicious food and service with a big smile.

Food always good here 👍 It is proper cooked (not heated up) pub grub, that's big on taste. Decent portions too. The beer could be a a little colder in my opinion. If busy can take a while, but shows that it cooked properly

You can always tell a well managed pub. The staff serving were smartly dressed, very polite and very professional. The layout and decor was smart and dogs welcome. The quality of the food was superb, so I’d happily recommend this to anyone and as my son has just moved in to the area I will no doubt be visiting again.

Took my family for dinner last night, and the whole evening was exceptional. Staff were very welcoming and polite. Drinks and food were served promptly. All the food was piping hot, fresh and absolutely delicious. We will definitely be coming back again, and bringing friends and family.

Amazing food and service. Perfect autumn menu

Sunday dinner was poor both myself and friends couldn’t eat the tough chewy lamb

We popped in here for lunch in early August and the food was great and service excellent, so when back in the area a few weeks later we came for an evening meal with family, and were not disappointed. Well recommended.

Visited on a beautiful sunny Sunday for drinks. The pub is very quaint and food is good (from previous experience) but that is where the positivity ends. We were told on ordering our drinks at 3:35 that this was last orders and they closed at 4 despite all online literature saying 5pm. Not too much of an issue in insolation really - these things happen. My husband returned to the bar for crisps to overhear the land lady complaining that she couldn't get closed up to enjoy the sunshine as people kept coming to the bar. We all have a moan now and again about work but maybe this should be done in private rather than in front of the customers who are here to support your business? Then it went downhill. Whilst there I potentially lost an important item but didn't realise until the next day. So on Tuesday when passing I popped in to see if it had been handed in as this was the last time I knew I had it. The pub looked open from the front - all signs out and the beer garden door was unlocked. On opening it was dark inside so I just popped my head round the door and called out 'Hello'. After another 'hello' the landlady stuck her head around a corner and my interaction went as follows: Me: Hi I'm so sorry to interrupt but I was here Sund.... Her: We are closed (very abrupt and rude) Me: Oh I'm sorry the door was unlocked can I just ask if.... Her: NO we are closed you have to leave. I am just a chef here I don't know anything. Leave now. Me: Umm ok I just Her: GO AWAY Me: OK, do you have a number I can call about lost property, its just it is a very important key Her: Find it online now you need to leave. Get off the property!! Me: There is absolutely no need to be so rude, don't worry I will take my business elsewhere I am still pretty shocked at being spoken too with such unprovoked rudeness. I did not just barge into the pub - I popped my head round the door to ask a question. I apologized as I hadn't quite realized they were closed as you can't really see in through the door. Also to barefaced lie and tell me she was just a chef? Having been a few times I very well know she is the land lady. It's ok if you can't help me but just be polite or at the very least civil. Absolutely disgusted and certainly will not be back. So disappointing as the pub used to be so welcoming a few years ago, we used to go a lot. Local businesses need all the support they can get right now so why on earth would you treat people like this?

So at 12.00 today not so customer friendly! Why the poor attitude when speaking to my wife? Discourteous, impatient, and down right rude. Needless to say we did not stay.

What a great pub! Friendly landlady and staff. The food was excellent and prices perfectly reasonable. We really enjoyed a family meet up here for my husband's birthday. The dog was also welcomed and given a bowl of water. Nice little dog walk from the car park into nearby park area.

Went for dinner with family, against their wishes,as said the Landlady is incredibly rude.They were not wrong.Asked if could have potatoes instead of chips, a quick and sharp "NO"asked why,really gave no answer,just bad attitude. Almost took Mum in her Wheelchair to have a lunchtime drink,she had Whiskey and gingerale, (she also had this when we were there for dinner), went yesterday lunchtime only to be told ,they don't and have never served Gingerale. To which I replied, "we had it twice last week". The Landlady became SO RUDE and SNARKY,told me I was rude,of course I told her she was rude,she then suggested "maybe we should find somewhere else to go".In all my years of traveling globally, never have I encountered such a vile,rude and snarky Landlady..She has no business running a Public Inn!! I'm surprised she has any business. The staff are all very young adults, a older adult would tell her where to go..The food served is good,I can't fault that,but just as good somewhere else without the the foul attitude.. If you want a pleasant experience, do not visit this establishment..I recommend AVOIDING this Pub.

Great food and equally as good service! The waiting staff and landlady are very friendly and attentive, super quick with drink and food orders and overall me and my family had a very good experience! If you live in the area, or are just passing through, I recommend this place as a great spot for lunch or dinner, with a wide variety of options to suit all tastes!

Visited here at the end of August and had a great experience! I was quite shocked to read some of the recent reviews on here as this was not my experience at all - in fact, the landlady was very friendly and welcoming, pausing to chat with our table and other guests, and made sure to check on us during service. The food was absolutely delicious - I had the Phad Thai which was very authentic and tasty and the portion size was huge. My family had the steak and ale pie and the swordfish niçoise salad which they both said was equally as good. I would definitely recommend The Red Lion to anyone in the Suffolk/ Essex surrounding area and I will also be returning!

The Red Lion Sturmer is a hidden gem. Beautiful Grade 1 building kept to a high standard. These people know what they are doing but, more importantly, are fabulous at it. Thank you. 😇

Don't do tables for 10 people and won't split it down into two tables. But when asked if they would do 2 different groups of 5 they said yes! Absolute idiots, clearly don't care about having customers more about being too lazy to accommodate! Won't be coming back! 😡

I have visited the pub on several occasions & have enjoyed the experience. Sadly, this time I was not so lucky. As it was a nice day we decided to walk the 25 minutes to the pub. Our family had come to visit so there were 10 of us, 5 adults & 5 children. On arriving at the pub I was informed that the maximum size group they catered for was 8 people. I said we were happy to be treated as 2 separate groups of 5 & that we would not expect both sets of meals to be served at the same time. The server said he would check with the kitchen & let us know. He came back a few minutes later & told us that we would not be able to eat there today. This came from not only the kitchen staff but the owners too. I questioned what the problem was, as if 2 parties of 5 now arrived they would serve them, & as we were happy to be treated that way, what was the problem? I was told that there was nothing he could do. I understand that the kitchen may not be able to cater for 10 people simultaneously, but we were happy to be flexible. We ordered a taxi for 3 of us, picked up our 3 cars, went back to the pub to collect the remaining 2 adults & 5 children, then drove to an establishment that could & would serve us.

Staff really friendly and the pub is cosy - nice garden too. Food is ok but a bit pricey for what it is.

Lovely food and very friendly staff . Had a lovely evening .

A pit-stop visit while traveling was far more than a refueling! Service, food, and range of drinks made, outstanding.

Food and facilities are fantastic, unfortunately there is a standoffish vibe from the landlady, who often is; abrupt and very rigid whether it’s at the bar and where you stand or where you sit, let alone request. Be sure to expect a quip remark if you’re out of place!

Stopped in on a Sunday day trip because it was on our route home. The food was excellent. I highly recommend the Sunday lamb. We had excellent drinks, starters, and pudding too. The service was quick, accommodating, and kind. Parking was easy, and the bathroom was great for diaper changes.

We selected this pub for a night out with friends based on reputation and location. We had a pleasant time having pre-drinks outside prior to our table being ready (booked for 7pm). The landlady came to get us at 7.05 and we were seated in pleasant surroundings. Unfortunately it was less satisfactory from here. One of our party requested an allergen log but was told they did not have one. Of the two starters ordered, one had a hair in it. The dish was removed and a free drink offered. Unfortunately the same member of our party found another different hair in her main course amongst her salad. Whilst this is dissatisfactory, I am still shocked by the landlady’s response now. She approached our table and requested to take the lady who had found the hair aside for a private conversation and essentially went on to imply that it was her hair that had fallen out of her hair and underneath her dinner. She said her chef has a shaved head, that in her XX number of years in the industry she had never had a hair reported in her food. She kept asking my friend to come with her to examine the hair and at no point acknowledged responsibility or apologised. The bill was then presented to us without asking if we wanted further drinks or dessert (basically they wanted us to leave). When they eventually approached us to take payment they said they thought it was best if we find ‘somewhere else to drink’. I am not sure I have ever received such terrible customer service from this type of establishment and I will be very careful to want to all of my local friends not to bother. This was a humiliating experience I would not wish on anyone.

I went for dinner and a catch up with a friend. Food was absolutely fab. The service was excellent and atmosphere was so relaxed. The staff were wonderful couldn’t do enough for you and spoke to you like you were a regular. The prices are good value for money 👍🏼 I would definitely recommend a visit

Went there for a roast. Disappointed really, potatoes were really hard but lamb meat was good. In general a bit bland. The place was really cold. Staff though were really nice and polite. A real asset to the place. Clean toilets and spacious car park.

A lovely welcoming place yo ha e a quiet drink and a meal. The rest of our group loved the food, but the veg was Al dented and I am not a fan. But as I say 5 others liked it.

Only had a drink. Super old place. Radiates so much atmosphere

Arrived for an afternoon drink after walking 45 mins specifically to this pub with our baby and family visiting, got to the bar at 3:31 to be told the bar closed at 3:30 and they wouldn’t serve us a drink even though there were people at the bar still being served drinks and a pub garden full of people eating and drinking. The lady, assuming land lady, told us they shut at 4pm so that’s why the bar shuts at 3:30pm and I mentioned the website says 5pm as we made sure we checked before walking to be told no thats wrong it’s 4pm. I said she might want to change that so people are aware of hours to get a sarcastic ‘will do’ response back as she shut the door on me, not even an apology for the wrong advertisement of hours on their website, Facebook and Google, will be avoiding from now on!

Excellent home made food. Great service at a very reasonable price.

Very disappointed! The quality of the food on this occasion was poor. When asked when paying if everything was okay explained food was not good, we both had the fish and chips, the fish was watery and had no taste. However, despite saying food was not good, there was absolutely no reaction or acknowledgment of the issue only appeared interested in processing payment! We have been many times before and food/service has been okay.

I felt the menu for a lunchtime was a bit heavy. Had there been an option of a side salad in the extras I would have been able to choose a starter with an added salad.

Friendly staff, nice, clean establishment. However, closes early on a Sunday afternoon, not open Mondays, not even bank holiday. Not good if you are cycling or walking and find the bar is closed when you get there!

food ok, sadly it has gone downhill - arrived as it opened or lunch and there was last nights food under table from night before. Two waitresses were stood chatting - i did mention it but she just smiled. dog friendly i understand (but am not overly fond of) but the carpets are holding the smell of old dogs! Shame as last visit it was nice - food is still well presented but oh the smell! The waitress gave the option of a tip - don't think so!

Superb service, food and lovely atmosphere. Will go again :-)

We loved the place, the staff was very kind and the food was delicious 🤤

Not only did they refuse someone with a driving licence for ID they spoke to them as if they were the dirt on the floor, A disgusting attitude that do not deserve new customers

5 star all round . We moved into the area over a year ago and saw a post on Facebook from the Red Lion . So we gave it a go and it was the best decision we made . Service was perfect very friendly and accomadating but no rush . The food was lovely. Fish was fresh and fell apart the chips were crispy and not greasey. The sticky toffeee pudding was ample and the perfect finish . We will be back . Thank you

8pm on a Wednesday night & turn us away. !!

Great choice of food even on a Sunday. We had a lovely Sunday Roast, perfectly cooked ...the pork belly especially, was amazing. Great service and really enjoyed it.

Not too warm on a cold damp day. Having the battered fish served with the skin on is always disappointing. To leave this quick review requires this last sentence.

I took my family for my daughter’s birthday lunch, we had mackerel pate & toast & a selection of roast dinners. The toast was burnt & like charcoal, we asked for replacement toast, but the taste of charcoal was hard to get rid of. The burnt toast had been placed burnt side down to hide it. The roast meals had soggy roast potatoes, parsnips & carrots, absolutely disgusting. We waited 30mins to have the plates taken away, we had to ask for the table to be cleared. The waitress came a started to the plates & cutlery away, she dropped a knife twice on to my son in law splashing gravy all over his clothes. The knife narrowly missed my 2year old granddaughter, Twice!!! I can honestly say that the whole experience was awful & the food was awful!!!

Enjoyed a lovely valentines meal with my partner. The food was excellent. The menu had a reasonable amount of choice and was good value. It was the service though that helped make the occasion feel special. Very warm and welcoming, while looking after dietary needs. Thanks

Called in here today for a lunch with a friend, the car park was half flooded as we’d had heavy rain, we parked where it was dry & went into the bar, we were told we couldn’t park where we had as they’d got deliveries. We swiftly left & went elsewhere for a lovely lunch. No way to treat customers!

Called in for a lunch with a friend, the car park was flooded due to heavy rain so we parked in the only dry spot, went into the pub & was rudely told we couldn’t park where we had as they’d got deliveries, we left &got a lovely lunch elsewhere. There were only 6 people in the pub so they obviously didn’t want our custom.

Family meal for our Mum's birthday. Mum was welcomed with a "Happy Birthday." Food was lovely - really nice pork belly. Service excellent, ending with the servers singing Happy Birthday at the end and then a chat with the owners before we left. A very nice evening!

We usually arrive muddy after a walk in need of a lunch and a drink, we are always met with such friendly smiles and are made to feel very welcome. This time we got dressed up and went out for the evening. The same amazing service greeted us. The landlady is so friendly and kind,nothing is too much trouble. The food is always great and they add a personal touch for special occasions. No visit is complete without a little time with Nora too! Always a pleasure to visit!

Fantastic pub. The food was gorgeous and service was excellent. Everyone was polite and helpful. Fab atmosphere and very clean Good value for money

Amazing roast dinner, dog friendly so no need to leave your pooch at home. Service incredible, staff can't do enough to help, including treats for the pooch. Beer in good condition and the ambience just right.

Very friendly staff and good choice on menu.

Nice food with a good menu of choices. Portions on the small side for both of our meals.

Lovely pub, food good, staff were lovely and professional and helpful, will definitely be back.

The Red Lion pub, with its cozy and welcoming, very dog friendly atmosphere, served as the perfect backdrop for a fantastic festive meal. The food was exceptional, with each dish being a delightful blend of traditional flavors and creative culinary twists. The staff were not only efficient but also genuinely warm and friendly, making us feel like part of the Red Lion family. This combination of delicious food and wonderful service made our Christmas meal at The Red Lion a memorable one.

Very good service very good food and very dog friendly

We were a group of 18 people who pre ordered a Christmas Meal. On arrival we were led to a table in a U shape, which was a bit tight for some to sit, but we all managed to squeeze in. Drinks were ordered at the bar and food was served as soon as everyone were sat and ready to go. Food was in my opinion good and tasty. The starters portions were on the small side. For a Christmas Meal, the price was reasonable. The atmosphere was Ok and everything ran smoothly. An enjoyable evening.

Food was precooked, OK. Service fine..

Really not great , food was poor and poor value.

So easily could have been five stars across the board as food was very good. However, although the girls serving were very polite, they have to deliver the message from the kitchen regarding not being able to order mash with a pie instead of chips and not allowed to serve extra gravy. We were told they prepare exact portions for each meal choice so cannot give away the mash that is designated to a different meal choice. No extra gravy as they make enough to go in the pies and no more. The pub advertises home cooked food - well peel a few spuds and make some more mash! Chuck some bisto in a jug and make some gravy! Never had this is any other restaurant so it’s disappointing to see a pub that has such good food let down by expecting guests to eat what the pub decides rather than giving the customers what they themselves choose to eat and are paying for - disappointed ☹️

We phoned up at the last minute to book in a family of 4 as we had been let down by another restaurant, and they were happy to fit us in around 20 mins later. Restaurant full but relaxed. Food was served very prompt, with everything hot, fresh, and tasty. The family favourite was the sticky toffee pudding, which was 👌 amazing. Thank you for a lovely evening

We have been coming here once a month for just over a year as a girls get together catch up. We are aware of the early closing of 10pm. Food was excellent as usual. But the issue we had was being constantly chased by staff, on this occasion, one of our party was a little late for our booked time of 7.30pm. Staff came over and said we needed to order soon as kitchen was closing this was 7.40. At 9.10 staff came and asked us to pay as till was closing. At 9.30pm we were basically told to leave as they were closing. We were outside in the car park at 9.40pm when all the staff left, the doors were locked and the car park lights turned off, leaving us in total darkness. On getting home I checked the opening times and they still stated10pm as closing. We were a little disapointed, as we felt our night out had been tainted by the pressure to hurry up our evening. We would have spent more on further drinks and maybe desserts, had we not been chased out the door.

I’m an enthusiastic supporter of new ventures and this was the fourth visit in a year but each one has been a little disappointing. Unfortunately, this visit was probably our last. Everyone makes mistakes, but serving undercooked gammon feels like an unforgivable error. I really don’t know what they could have done to rectify the situation to encourage a re-visit. I didn’t want to write this review, but I felt it needed to be written

Gorgeous pub, the ambiance is so perfect. Comfy seating and candles, I enjoyed my visit.

I visited as a group of four and loved it. Nice big table, good food, fantastic service, and all inside a lovely old building. I wasn't sure what to expect but would visit again if in the area

Comfortable country pub. Pleasant staff and flavoursome food. Enjoyable visit. Would have appreciated a managerial welcome and goodbye.

Today after 4.5 years we pop in to the Red lion. The food was Amazing and staff fantastic.... We will be back soon!! Try steak ale pie or fisherman's pie amazing!! Wine fantastic Italian wine primitivo Thanks for the team and "NORA" to look after us

A little on the expensive side but overall it was a very good experience. Great waitress/bar staff .. very attentive 5🌟 stars

First time at the pub went with friends arrived at 7.30pm , food was rushed and the service, hadn't finished our starter and were told our mains were ready. We had just finished our sweet and were told we would have to leave by 10pm it was 9.40pm, as they were closing, not offered more drinks or coffee, then the bill arrived, very rude. Will not return and will pass this onto our friends.

Visited a week ago with family. Excellant food and service, will visit again soon 🙂

Great Sunday lunch with family, excellent food and wonderful service, recommended

Lovely venue for a family or otherwise to dine. A very comprehensive menu covering all preferences. Service was excellent and the food quality was first rate. A great range of drinks.

Had a very nice lunch, very good service

Had a lovely roast here for my birthday on Sunday. Not only was the food abosolutely delicious but I was most impressed with the team. All the staff were so friendly and attentive alongside the fantastic owners. Thank you.

If you're looking for a restaurant that's runs off rations like world war two! Then sturmer lion is definitely the place for you! I spent just under £200 this evening and my partner ordered a steak which was £26 pounds and asked for a egg which he was quite happy to pay for! They said they couldn't do a egg as all their meals are rationed imagine a person who has a dietary requirement they certainly wouldnt cater for you! I go to order another drink and they said that would be our last drink as we was rude as we asked for another egg and my partner was not rude towards the waitress although a little annoyed an egg was to much hassle and did make a little joke although they where already making a egg for my child's gammon. I will be taking my business elsewhere now! I hope someone new takes over the pub who are people friendly and appreciative of local people spending money! Bar currently being run by 18 year olds who know nothing about pouring a pint and usually pour it a inch under. 😆😆

Came for lunch and sat down food was over priced and also there was a lady in her middle age late 50s very rude I think it was the manager she needs to work on her pepole skills or be re trained will not be coming two this pub again .

Food was mostly forgettable, roast potatoes were extremely salty. We have dined there previously and had better quality food.

Had a Sunday roast in here about 2 weeks ago and to say it cost us £72 for 2 of us was extortionate in comparison to the quality of food. The woman behind the bar has quite a bad attitude, she seemed overwhelmed and it came across as rude. Plenty of better places to go

Lovely little pub and great to sit outside with the dog 🐕

Excellent Sunday lunch - freshly prepared food beautifully presented by attentive and friendly staff. Our three courses and drinks arrived promptly. Large portions, interesting starters and desserts, choice of three different roasts with fresh vegetables, roast potatoes, yorkshire pudding, lean and tender meat and extra gravy. Relaxing venue with large car park. Highly recommended.

It was my nans 91st birthday and they were absolutely amazing, we were all too full for dessert after the amazing food but they still brought a little scoop of ice cream with a candle for her. Staff were amazing and so friendly - they also had a beautiful garden where I will definitely come back and have a drink! Couldn’t recommend enough :)

Not first visit. Great food. Reasonable prices..

4km walk to the pub and refuse to be served (asked only for drinks for my kids). Only pre-booked inside!!! Beer garden was empty. New rules every week. 1 week ordering food/drinks outside no problen next week not allowed.

What I think was the manager (older dark haired female) was the RUDEST most CONDESCENDING & PATRONISING person I’ve ever met i my life. She spoke to my wife like she was a piece of dirt from her shoe. Just because she couldn’t accommodate a buggy in an empty pub??? I wish I could give less stars. What an incredibly horrible witch. Avoid avoid avoid!!!!!

Told it was a restaurant not a pub was asked to leave 3 of us sat outside on a sunny Friday night. We would of sat there buying drinks more drinks.we where told to leave it was before 10pm very rude

Fantastic village pub a stone's throw away from town. Great destination for a summer drink or a lunch nibble. Easily accessible from the old railway line allowing you to recharge on a relaxing walk or cycle.

Went for lunch today -burgers and stuffed aubergines were huge! Beautiful location, inside or outside seating. Polite, helpful staff. Great portion sizes. Definitely worth a visit.

LOVE this pub. We call in every now & again for a beer but today we stopped for food too. Their vegetarian options are plentiful & varied, no spinach & ricotta cannelloni in sight! Delicious & freshly cooked, generous portions too. The team is welcoming & warm, efficient & friendly. Even Nora, the pub dog! Visit & make your own mind up. It's a gem with lots of heart & soul

Argument started just as we arrived and told there is board outside with instructions on, instead of being advised politely! Told them our table number but got this mixed up but not told that food was placed outside as we were playing with children in the grounds so got our food cold! I went into speak with manager only to get a tirade of verbal abuse, very worrying especially as I was advised on leaving the pub that she’s like that to everyone who asks for help by another punter. Food was partially inedible under/overcooked supermarket fodder and beer was mediocre and expensive for the area. All in all, an overpriced menu, manager and bar staff rude and unpleasant and bad atmosphere all round. It was much better with old management and not the Faulty Towers that’s in place now…but suffice to say we will not be returning anytime soon!

Went for a lovely walk with the dog and maybe a cool beer and Aperol or two in their fabulous garden 🙂 Even had some treats for the dog 🐶 #dogfriendly #theredlionsturmer

Went for Sunday lunch and was very impressed. Food was delicious and plenty of it. No wait at all for the dinner to be served and the same for the deserts. Never had such quick service before. Would highly recommend this restaurant. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Had a lovely lunch here with my family today. Excellent fresh food, great service and just an all round pleasant experience.

Good food, friendly staff . Recommend Sunday lunch good value

Visited with my Husband for Anniversary/Sunday Lunch. Very welcoming Landlady and attentive Waitresses. Lovely food, good portions and great value. Free drinks for our Anniversary too. Highly recommended.Thank you so much.

Excellent meal and friendly staff.

Lovely Anniversary/Sunday Lunch. Welcoming Landlady and attentive friendly Staff. Excellent food, good portions and great value. Free drinks as it was our Anniversary, which was a lovely touch. Will return again, many thanks.
