The Red Lion in North Lincolnshire

Love meal friendly pub Kerry is lovely and staff .. food was home cooked very nice .. cosy country pub

Very disappointed with the Sunday lunch today , the starter of prawn and crayfish had no crayfish in , the Yorkshire puddings were like pancakes, two of the group orders the sausage with black pudding mash , there was no black pudding in the mash they also never got other items listed on the menu. We brought this to a waitresses attention who had to go and check with the chef , she came back saying that they had ran out of black pudding for the mash ! We asked to speak to a manager at the end of the meal as we were not happy to pay for the 2 meals that were not as described.we were advised that they had knocked £3 off each meal to compensate for the missing items , we were not satisfied with this and stated that we were not prepared to pay for 2 of the meals because they were not as listed on the menu. The manager was not professional in her response and was quite rude to one of our group , it resulted with her leaving the table without our issue being resolved. Not a professional response and definitely will not be returning ever.

So impressed with the great selection of gluten free options..... still rare in many restaurants and much appreciated. So it's brilliant that coeliacs can eat here with no awkward questions, no allergy file (nightmare!). Thank you so much Red Lion Team. Our order was 2 GF haddock and chips and 2 special pies (our partners eat gluten). All the meals were enjoyed, the staff were friendly and the restaurant was surprisingly spacious and lovely. We are from Nottingham but I would visit again if i could.

Made a late booking for mother’s day and although the restaurant was extremely busy, we where accommodated. We arrived and although some of our party had not arrived yet we where served drinks and the opportunity to wait in the bar area. We where then shown to our table in the beautiful and very busy restaurant. The atmosphere was fantastic and we all had starters and mains. The service was second to none, our waiter was Dean and he was so polite and attentive. The food served was delicious and we all enjoyed such a wonderful day. There was 11 of us in the party so by no means an easy table to slot in but the service was faultless from start to finish. Its so amazing to have this bar and restaurant on our doorstep, cannot praise Kerry and her team enough, they all cheerfully worked so hard to make my day special and a gift of chocolates for all the mums was the icing in the cake. Well done to everyone at the Red Lion, doing Crowle proud. 🥰

Myself, my partner and the in-laws visited yesterday for our Mothers Day dinner and I can not recommend enough! The service was so attentive, more so given how busy the pub was and food was amazing. It was lovely to see all of the tables were given a box of chocolate - a really nice touch!

Booked table 1.30 for 7 people but 2 guests were delayed by 5 minutes however we were constantly harassed by a member of staff asking if the other 2 adults were arriving stating if u don't want a table for 7 I will give u one for 5 people at which point I decided to phone them 2 quests as she was constantly questioning Me!! Upon being taken to the dineing area it wasn't busey and plenty of tables spare! Lamb shank was tough Sunday lunch was average crackling was just raw fat not crackling at all!! The binoffee desert at a cost of £5.50 was minute and not value for money ! Wouldn't return again!!!!

Visited for the ‘Steak Night’, and ordered a rare steak which was cooked perfectly. The steak came with onion rings, peas, mushrooms and chunky chips. Sauces were also included in the price and I had the stilton which was lovely. Great value for money, especially when you compare to nearby restaurants that also do steaks. Much better than a Miller & Carter. Will definitely be returning!

Great fish and chip Friday ! Lovely crispy batter on both ordinary and gluten free. Good portions, great value and very tasty all served by very friendly, helpful staff. A great place !.

Visited on a Saturday afternoon whilst stopping at 7 Lakes. Walk of about a mile. Unbelievably, this pub was apart from cars driving through the village the only sign of life in the village so we were not really expecting anything. Fortunately, the beer was good, the service was efficient and we happily wasted a bit of time in the lounge. Only downside for me was Strongbow cider on draft rather than a more tasty choice. Disappointing as the beer drinkers had a better choice.

Dropped in for Sunday lunch, lovely fresh, hot food, good choice, very pleasant staff, excellent value for money. Will definitely be visiting again !

Visited during trip to 7 lakes caravan park . Booked by email for first time out in a year .however on arrival denied knowledge of our booking . Despite this lady at front of house fit us straight in no problem. Lovely room where food served, and we chose and ordered quickly . Front of house loudly disciplining staff in view of customers . Food lukewarm - steak tough - meat in steak pie tough - chips soggy. Mentioned this to front of house who said she would tell chef - she left and took one plate and never returned . Complained again to waitress when she came to take rest of plates and no action taken . 106 pound later will not rush back .

Great Sunday dinner for a good price and good service was allowed to bring the dogs in as well. Would recommend

The Red Lion was just around the corner from our temporary home after a long day on the road, so it looked like an ideal option for a Friday evening meal and plenty of others seemed to agree. Post-lockdown restrictions were obviously in place - please don't touch the bar! - and sadly usual draught ales weren't on offer as the team gets geared up for more normal times. Lots of familiar favourites on the menu and the food comes in generous portions. I'd have to quibble about the 'fully encased' nature of the pies - shortcrust is the pastry of choice for such a treat, I'd have to assume that the puff pastry shell is warmed up, the top is sliced off to allow the the chosen filling (steak and ale, minted lamb, chicken or mushroom stroganoff) is ladled in and the lid popped back on. The overall effect is a bit like a filled croissant, to be honest, but my steak and ale serving came with so much quality meat and tasty gravy that I was more than willing to put my crust concern to one side and wolf the lot. Across the table a giant portion of liver, onions and bacon which came with bubble and squeak and other veg proved too generous but what could be managed was enjoyed. Sunday lunches look a real bargain judging by the price and there are some unusual options for vegetarians - falafel burger and battered banana blossom were both new to me, and there's jackfruit curry, too, as a well as that aforementioned mushroom burger. Staff were friendly and efficient and working well with their new systems, a thumbs up all round.

We have just had 2 sunday lunches on their new take away service during this crazy crisis that we are experiencing. It was delicious, red hot and served excellent in take away containers, even got gravy in a separate cup. Loads of meat and fresh veg and a lovely Yorkshire pud. Thankyou so much!and well done, it was credit to you

Absolutely gorgeous restaurant, great staff, great food good service. Sunday lunch is amazing especially the quad.🙌

Lovely!!!!!!!!! King prawns for starter were delicious. Garlic mushrooms were plentiful! Nice big portion. The steak pie was swimming in gravy and the beef fell apart! SO well cooked! The turkey dinner was cooked perfectly too.Puddings very well presented. Cant complain about any of it. Lovely hearty grub and nice waiter and waitresses.

We had a lovely meal in the restaurant. Good service and delicious food. One of our party had chicken curry and there were large very symmetrical squares of chicken so not sure it was fresh. A lot of loud shouting was heard from the kitchen. The barman wasn’t very welcoming, not even a smile. Great food so we would return.

Friendly welcoming service from hard working publicans. Touch more polish and presentation to make it really happen ,but overall pretty good.

The meal that my wife and myself had on Thursday 18 July can only described a delicious. well presented and full of taste. As usual up to chef Ben's usual standard.The landlord Mike and his wife Jenny couldn't have been more welcoming and the waitress really helpfull and efficient, the atmosphere was just right. We will definately return again very soon.

Called in on the off chance at 3pm sunday dinners would still be served. Pleased they do till 6pm. Really lovely pub. Clean and welcoming. Staff friendly and polite. Lovely eating area. Nice tables, seating and table decorations. Dinner was beautiful. Well presented, beef cooked to perfection. Wished id been given brussel sprouts aswell but thats just a favourite if mine. Deserts little bit pricy at £6 but really nice. I had bailys cheesecake, if im honest couldnt really taste bailys but the desert was to die for and presented lovely so i would have it again. All in all a lovely experience which i would recomend. We will be back

What a gem! Lovely pub, clean, very warm and cosy. Friendly staff, what’s not to like! The food was absolutely gorgeous, I would highly recommend this place.

What a find, great food with good prices! We were in the area and looking for something to eat. We were lucky they could fit us in as they appear to be quite busy. I am not surprised, I chose the Roast Turkey lunch, there was plenty of it and it was beautifully cooked. Service was quite good considering how busy they were. The price was good too. Will definitely return.

Just been to Red Lion for meal with five year old twins, husband and mother in law. One of the twins has egg and dairy allergies and the chef came to check what she would like & made her special chicken nuggets. I am intolerant to dairy and talked through options. Had the totally yummy jerk chicken. All the staff were friendly and great with the children. The whole family loved the food. Cannot recommend enough

Had a great Sunday afternoon in here we all ordered the rib eye steaks for main meals the starters were all excellent as well we had the soup of the day the pate and prawn cocktail

Lunch time menu is nicely varied.

I visited the Red Lion in Crowle on a Sunday afternoon with friends whilst on a weekend break. When asking for a table for 5 in the restaurant, we were told we were lucky to get one, even though there were several empty tables in there!!

Attended the red lion with a group of friends. The starters were great no complaint there the problems started with the mains. We requested chips to be told that the chef wouldn't like making them, didnt receive the chips but were billed for them. Ordered lamb shank, it wouldn't have come off the bone with a chain saw never mind the knives & forks provided. We were told no one else had this problem!!

Have to say the food there was great! I had the lamb shank and O M G !

The food here is always great. The bar staff and waiting staff are ever so friendly and helpful Wish it was our local

What a fantastic place to go for a meal. The staff were so friendly. We had a wonderful Ribeye steak cooked to perfection and great chips. The deserts were very good also. The price was so reasonable and we shall be returning.

This just gets better. The service is so good and the food is amazing. Had the belly pork starter...wow. Steak was cooked exactly as I wanted. Keep it up guys . Looking forward to our return this weekend.

Visiting the area we called in firstly for a drink in afternoon, staff and locals made us welcome so we went back in the evening for a meal as a group of 10. Excellent food, drink and service so much so that we abandoned our plans for the following evening and went back again for another excellent meal.

Lovely tasty food, good and speedy service from friendly staff, all for a very reasonable price we will be definitely be going back

Came here in may with my husband for our tea. We was met by a lovely lady who we found out run the pub , her hubby did the drinks at the bar they are very friendly and welcoming. A couple that was eating reccomend a trio of meat of the specials board which was absolutely delicious and filling . The food is locally sourced and cooked magical flavours made your taste buds tingle . Will definitely recommend this pub for a drink and a meal. Well done to all who makes this work so well and cant wait to return again thank you for your hard work from cheryl and Steve

Superb fish and chips freshly cooked brilliant service and the beer is superb too.

Called in Thursday for the pie night deals (£10 choices of pies and £3 towards a drink of your choice)

We have visited twice this week and both times had excellent food and excellent service We went to pie night which was excellent value pie and a pint for £10 we both had steak and ale pie which was delicious with homemade chips and peas We also went for Sunday lunch which I think is the best in the area It was a little more expensive £9.90 however well worth it there was a choice of four meats and the veg was fresh and perfectly cooked Would definitely recommend the red lion if you are in the area they also offer a fish and chip night and a curry night

Excellent village pub with many choices of food, we took the sirloin and the fillet steaks served to us by the newbie Beth, thrown in at the deep end on a Saturday night she did us proud by looking after us throughout our meal, many thanks Beth, we’ll be back.

Very very nice steak indeed. Well cookes and just as it should be (blue). The sauce rest of the meal was excellent and a very generous glass of wine. The atmosphere was great and the service with brilliant as well. I will certainly be going back and highly recommend it

Decided to try the pie night special deal. Pies are all hand made not frozen and warmed up. Pastry was lovely and filling absolutely fab. Chips are also hand made not reheated frozen. All in all superior for a pub menu. Have been back for Fish & Chip night.

We visited here for a prebooked gluten free meal. Starter garlic mushrooms, no gluten free bread available (it was at their other venue but not this one, not helpful) result was a small dish of mushrooms and that was it. Main course faired no better as I was told they had no gluten free pasta despite this being pre ordered and most of the gf options on the menu being pasta. They could have purchased pasta from any supermarket, not having any when the meal was pre booked was a poor excuse. A pre prepared alternative was already available, not really acceptable. I didn’t bother with dessert as the first two courses were disappointing.

A party of 3 had dinner Friday evening.

Went for Sunday lunch, and it wasn’t that good to be honest.

We went here as a last minute decision and are really glad we did. It is a pub/restaurant with a lovely atmosphere. Very popular. Although busy we didn’t have to wait long for our food.The food is delicious and cooked to perfection. The lamb shank is amazing. The menu is varied and very reasonably priced. We’ll definitely be going back again.

When Ben moved to the Red Lion we knew without the doubt the food would be of great quality, cooked to perfection and served professionally, once again Ben did not let us down, well worth every penny and if you've been please try you won't leave disappointed.

Over the years, we have visited several places where Chef Ben has worked and really enjoyed his Caribbean influenced food.

Called Sunday after a recommendation from a friend who had been previously for Sunday lunch.

Visited after recommendation from friends Ordered Sunday lunch for two and a child’s portion of sausages and chips We waited 45 mins for food with no apology or explanation and the pub did not appear to be very busy The Sunday lunch was ok but I felt overpriced for the amount on the plates the beef was quite tough and the veg was limited to a small portion of carrots and peas I have had better Sunday lunches in other pubs and won’t be recommending

Where ever Chef Ben goes we follow because we know that the food is always excellent and going to the red lion proved the point.we were made very welcome by the landlord and it was nice to see a busy pub as well as a busy restaurant which gives a good atmosphere. I had Bens famous belly of pork in a honey and mustard sauce as a starter and a steak and ale pie to follow and it was first class.

Me and my husband and friends go every Friday evening for something to eat the food is very good and the staff are so friendly I would recommend red lion to everyone thank you x

The Red Lion is a place Ive eaten at a lot since it has changed hands recently.

Despite a slight delay - which we were warned about up front - we all had a very tasty good value meal. Maybe a few more vegetables would have been nice but the meat was excellent, the tasty Yorkshire puds appeared home-made & the young waitress was delightful. We will definitely be returning!

Visited here last Sunday with family. Had been for Sunday lunch under the previous owners and it was amazing so invited family over for a visit back so as you can imagine I was really looking forward to it. Booked a table for 5:30 as recommended by the pub as it "can be busy on Sundays" we arrived early, were shown to our table and service was great...to begin with! A young girl served us and her manner was lovely, apologies for a starter not available and very polite and table etiquette was great. However, the starters were lovely but the main course was luke warm. Sunday menu so a roast dinner £9.95 for the smallest piece of meat/potato and £12.95 for four meats that were clearly the ends of a day. The veg was cold apart from the red cabbage and the carrots were black. I should have complained but were torn between being hungry and it was clear the kitchen was shutting up as they turned the lights off! The dessert fridge was also turned off and it was clear they wanted us out even though only half way through dinner! We had asked for our drinks three times by this point! After a cold lunch we were asked to sit in the bar area where we could get coffees and desserts in there if we wanted them. So we moved ourselves though (all the staff had left) sat down finished our drink and went to order desserts etc to be told we couldn't have them as the kitchen was closed! So £95 later i was embarrassed and not satisfied with the meal at all. I paid...shouldn't have ..no one was even interested in taking the bill! Oh forgot to mention while we were finishing our drinks our waitress went home with her sunday lunch foiled up on a plate..it was clear then that the dinner was over. After hearing great things about how this pub had changed I was very disappointed and darn't risk the humiliation with family again so we wont be revisiting...such a shame ! Maybe lunch at 1 would be better if you do go? Such a shame as the food if hot would have been lovely

We visited the red lion 20/05/2018 for my brothers birthday for 10 people including children

Started out great sitting in the sun having a drink outside. I ordered the Haddock and chips as did my friend, the waitress did not understand our vegetarians question does the vegetarians Sunday lunch only have vegetables on. Two had the sunday lunch, one had vegetarian chili and one had Gammon. my haddock came with triple cooked chips which I have had many different times so know what to expect. With in a couple of minutes of the mains arriving the waitress came and asked if the food was alright. Not long enough to be sure. My chips were burnt I do know the difference and the batter was to hard to eat. My friends was fine. When I mentioned this I was told it was to late to do anything about it I should have told them when they asked. the mushrooms on the gammon where burnt and he did not eat the onion rings. However this is not the problem i have with it all it was the reaction of the waitress. She kept coming back and saying it is my fault that I had not complained sooner this happened several times in the end I had to ask her to stop she came back with excuse after excuse all the time blaming me. We found it very intimidating and four of our party felt the same. One of our party had eated there the week be fore and said the food was so different all we where told it was the same chef the same batter and the same chips. I put a damper on our birthday celebrations and our whole day. We will not be going back and would not recommend to anyone.

This is a review of The Red Lion in North Street, Crowle; it is not in Epworth, as one review stated and it does not offer mid-week steak nights, indeed the restaurant is not open in midweek at all, so that loses the credibility of some other reviews. This is a traditional village pub with a nice clean room, having large murals and good dining furniture set aside for SUNDAY LUNCH ONLY. There is seating for 35-40 diners so booking is recommended.

It's unfortunate you felt the way you did about the landlord , but I can assure you, you have definitely misinterpreted the situation , The Red Lion is the heart of Crowle and the landlord is far from a bully , The Lion is filled with fun laughter and a lot of boyish banter , yes the pub does have a lot of regulars and yes they are well looked after but so are all the visitors that come to The Lion EVERYBODY is welcomed and made to feel at home ...I myself was once a visitor and I was welcomed with open arms ,my advice would be please don't let this put you off from returning it really is a fun friendly pub , I'm also sure if you spoke to the landlord about your experience you would have a change of heart

The landlord has no customer skills at all. He only cares for the handful of regulars that go, no new people welcome! Told us we were welcome as we didn't know the people in there. He was an aggressive bully.

Must be about the Best Pub on the Isle! Always great service, very helpful friendly staff. Always busy, and always very clean.

Pub always busy, well run and great character. Landlord with humour and attitude as it should be! While other pubs are closing this one just gets busier

Superb night in Lion, and Raj. Guest ale "Fall Over" was spot on Derek. Great atmosphere n service. Very vibrant and active place to spend a great night out

Excellent food, excellent staff, beautiful dining room, great value. Wish I had taken some photographs to show the food.

Lovely food and attentive service. Eight satisfied ladies dining in pleasant surroundings....... No complaints (which is rare!)

Excellent service good choice well recommended had two take aways before but first time for a sit down meal definitely well worth it had banquet menu good choice nobody disappointed would say worth a visit just too much food for me

A new offering in Crowle, our party of four turned up unannounced and were promptly accommodated. ALL the staff were both courteous and friendly ensuring our total satisfaction. The quality of food and it's presentation was outstanding. Service was prompt but not rushed, just right in fact, despite the restaurant being full and one large party (20) dining too. For those interested in Take Away food the same menu is offered at attractive discounted prices though no delivery service is currently available. A small selection of English dishes are on offer for those a little less adventurous together with a variety of vegetarian meals.

This pub is also a small hotel it has a formal restaurant and it serves bar meals. We normally have a bar meal which is home cooked food they have mid week specials for two steaks for a one fee. The food is very good and the selection of beers wine and spirits are extensive.

The Red Lion has deteriorated over the past 2 to 3 years. This was reflected on the small number of customers and staff could do with a bit of polishing re presentation and manners

Was invited to birthday sunday lunch food was good but very disorganised staff and too long go be tween course but what got me annoyed was the fact ft to when I went up fo my carvery I put3 roast parsnips on my plate and was informed I only allowed 2 a disgrace will nobe oin agin

We took my mum here for her birthday, we all had the Sunday lunch. The mushroom starter was lovely were all talking about it. Also the treacle toffee pudding was a big hit. The staff were professional and very friendly. We all enjoyed the obviously home made Sunday roast. Definitely cone here again, hidden gem

This Sunday Lunch tastes as good as a quality home cooked meal, but without the washing up. Generous portions, hot, quality well cooked ingredients in a lovely setting have made us return time and time again. Our favourites are Beef, Pork or Lamb which range in price from £7.99 to £9.99. Great value means we're tempted to eat out more often. My partner struggles to resist the sticky toffee pudding.

If we're dining out for Sunday Lunch, this is our restaurant of choice. Hot, well cooked food that tastes like a home cooked meal. We travel past many other venues, but the extra mileage is well worth it,

Took the kids for leisurely Sunday lunch at this restaurant in the Red Lion Pub in Crowle. First time we'd been and I have to say it was a great find. The staff were friendly and professional. The menu is extensive and the decor fresh and homely. My partner had calamari which was delicious, crispy batter and not chewy at all (and he's a real fuss pot!!); the eldest son had vegetable soup which kept him quiet for a while and he finished it all with no complaints and I had duck pate with chutney and toast - it really was delicious and the youngest son kept nicking nibbles from my plate (what better compliment). For mains we all had the traditional beef dinner and we all wanted it rare - and for once (in a pub restaurant) it was perfect (why can't most restaurants serve rare beef!!). Unfortunately we had to make tracks early so skipped dessert but we'll definitely be back again to try them out.

Been here a number of times with three friends, cannot fault the place excellent food hot tasty and served with a smile by the waiting staff. was busy last time we went with a retirement party going on all Gents and they where having a great time, the witing staff were very tolerant with the guest getting a bit noisy, but hey ho after 40 odd years in the local steelworks it must be a relief.

. Nice place in a lovely setting. The staff come across as very friendly and it's great to go for a drink Sunday lunch is ok but unfortunately my partner and me were not impressed with the quality of the every day menu. Very average.

We ate here on Saturday night 4th October. The menu was on boards on the wall which are difficult to see from all tables, so people get up and stand at the end of your table to read them.

I loved this when it had previous owners who i knew well. My favourite was a giant filled Yorkshire pudding with beef and the most amazing mash potatoe and gravy. But went in feb and i chose a burger which was lovely but their menu wasn't as good i struggled to choose something. Lovely pub though

We ate here on 11/7/14 for my birthday and had starters, mains and one dessert. Considering the above came to approximately £50, including drinks, The Red Lion offers great value for money.

This just a fabulous place to eat. We had Sunday lunch to celebrate my sons engagement. The food was delicious. The service was excellent. Thank you to the young lady who went to great lengths to find out a suitable sparkling wine to celebrate, and making the whole experience special.

We were guided here by a good review in the local paper.

As other reviews have stated it doesn't look much on the outside and you have to go through the pub to the restaurant. The room is attractive but not over the top.

Reason for going we have followed the landlord,landlady and the chef. First visit and everything is spot on. Couple of new girls on service and it felt

I was treated to a belated birthday meal with my mum and her husband. Did not look anything special on arriving and wLked through the busy bar. Shown straight to our table and the menu was explained and the specials board. I decided on a starter of prawns, scallops and black pudding which was delicious, the second course was spicy lamb shank which was cooked beautifully and the flavour was lovely. Would describe the food as gastro pub type food with a twist. The only thing i would suggest is that they add an ialian antipasto to the starters as we would have definitely have gone for that. Would definitely go again.

Visited here one Saturday for lunch to try somewhere new,Really pleased we did as it lived up to all the other good reviews listed.

ate at Parkers Bistro and had a lovely evening, a vegan in our party was no problem to them and also an allergy request didn't present a problem. The food was delicious and service excellent oh! and the presentation of the food was super will be calling again. Pricewise excellent value for money. makes me hungry thinking about it !

We were referred to the Red Lion in Crowle by the licensee of the Reindeer in Sandtoft following a dispute over gift vouchers (an odd business decision on their part we would suggest!). The Red Lion is "tucked away" in Crowle and externally not very impressive. However, internally it is very clean and appealing. Our visit to the spacious Parkers Bistro was superb from start to finish with professional, efficient and attentive, but not intrusive, staff, a good choice of drinks including excellent coffees and a menu to satisfy the most discerning of diners. Unable to find fault with any aspect of our visit, we very much look forward to our next meal there in the very near future.

First visit to Parker's bistro (red lion) but certainly not the last! They have just started doing the most wonderful afternoon teas, the most delicious little sandwiches and cakes perfectly presented with a fantastic service. We will most certainly return very soon to sample something else on the menu. Lovely surroundings, friendly staff and delicious food....this place is a hidden gem!

When we arrived, we were a bit apprehensive as the pub outside needs a bit of TLC. However, once inside the pub had a good atmosphere and was cosy with plenty of staff and seating. Then we went through to the bistro which has obviously had some money spent on it. The menu is varied with something for everyone and several vegetarian specials with dishes ranging from about £7 for a main course to £19. It was beautifully presented and well served. And exceptionally tasty! We were a big party and the service was excellent throughout despite a minor confusion with one of the mains. We had a great time and would go back any time.

Found this bistro by chance as all other pubs in the area were not serving lunch. very welcoming.

Couldn't fault the food served by Di, previous owner of the Red Lion, and sorry they left but thankfully it soon re-opened. Better to keep open than have another place closed in Crowle. Different set up now as a Bistro serving a variety of tasty meals with a twist.

Many pubs still treat their customers as did British Rail in the days of the cardboard sandwich. If you need your faith restored then you need to check out Partker's Bistro at the Red Lion. The restaurant area in clean and ambiant with attentive and efficient service. A standard menu is complemented with daily specials and a reasonably priced wine list. The bar serves at least one cask beer.

Faultless service, I booked an hour before going as looking on the website I thought it might be busy. On arriving, slightly late (apologies for that) was shown to table by a very friendly waitress. Ordered drinks and meals. Meals arrived I only wish I had taken photos. It was the traditional Beef roast dinner but beautifully presented and served with extra gravy in a boat..my lunch companion was very pleased. Everything was cooked to perfection, you can always tell when a restaurant is bothered about the food they serve when they ask you during the meal if everything is OK.

A friend and I went last night for a meal at Parkers Bistro (part of the Red Lion) and we were both highly impressed with both the food and service. Nothing was to much trouble for the lady who was serving the meals. We will definitely be going back at some point.

A good location in a quiet area with plenty of parking. We enjoyed a selection of delicious Sunday lunch meals ... I enjoyed a beautiful beef stew accompanied by the usual trimmings. Others in our group enjoyed the delights of the carvery including roast pork and roast leg of lamb. My wife spoilt herself with a dessert of chocolate mouse and raspberry ice cream. I'm sure we will return on an evening to try the menu in the Parker Bistro.

Well the Red Lion lived up to the many good reviews on here. Lunch for 4 at 1pm today was very very good :-)

We had a Christening catered for 45 people and there was a very nice hot buffet, plenty served and all really tasty. They were very accommodating for a couple of specific requests and the service was friendly and professional.

We had recently been introduced to the Reindeer at Sandtoft and was very impressed. However the owners recently moved to The Red Lion and we had to try it. We weren't disappointed with excellent food (sausages and mash for my wife, Moroccan lamb shank for me), great service and lovely atmosphere. First class sticky toffee pudding and an excellent treacle tart finished things off. We will definitely return.

we visited the Red Lion on 16th of June with family for Sunday lunch,the choice of meats was good,quality excellant and all the vegetables were fresh,an excellant meal had by all,when visiting Scunthorpe again we will call again.

We came here for the Valentine's Day meal in Feb but we also use the place at other times. I've only given four stars because their steaks are not as good as they used to be a few years ago. I wasn't impressed with the meals on the Valentine's night menu either, very few things on it that appealed to me or my partner so we ate from the ordinary menu. I had the mixed grill which again I wasn't to impressed with. The rump steak was tough as was the pork steak but it was plentiful and I had to leave some as I wanted a pudding. However, the food is normally very good, home cooked and large portions so I would recommend them. The atmosphere is always friendly, the staff are welcoming and polite and the surroundings are really lovely. They aren't cheap but you do get a good meal for your money so we keep coming back.

Excellent service, very professional and welcoming. The place is always clean and tidy and the staff polite and courteous. Good value for money and a good choice of availability

Went for a family meal for my sons first birthday it was fantastic they made us extremly welcome the food was excellent, we wernt rushed all the staff played with my little boy who a wounderful time
