Great village pub, plenty of off road parking, safe and secure for cars and motorcycles. Good Guinness, even better Madri and amazing Cheese and Onion rolls made fresh and on the day! Maybe have to start visiting more often and hopefully Cheese and Ham or Cheese and pickle may make an appearance. All joking aside great pub, pleasant team and a nice sized garden for enjoying the sun and summer in. Looking forward to visiting again with friends.

Me & my partner were reccomended to go to the Red Lion by friends. We visited and we were really happy with both the service and the cleanliness the pub during these strange times. Staff were pleasant and it was nice to see them allowing dogs into the pub. Nice atmosphere & good prices for drinks. Will be visiting again soon!

Visited on a Saturday evening. Staff were super welcoming and very friendly, the new system in place was explained well. We tried the delicious selection of cocktails they had on offer behind the bar and they were fab!! Been here a few times before and always have a great time so no doubt we will be back again. Thanks again for a great night ☺️

Always made to feel welcome, with great service, friendly faces and smiles all round. Staff have our safety at mind and make sure we all adhere to government guidelines, continuously sanitising surfaces etc. All of this has made me feel very comfortable, knowing I can enjoy my drink harmlessly and in a great atmosphere. Hats off to Charly and the team, would definitely recommend!!

The red Lion is one of our local pubs, one that we are very fond of. The pub itself is very warm & welcoming. Whenever we go in we are always welcomed by a smiling face. The girls who work at the Lion always make an effort to ask how our day has been and always ask if there is anything else they can help us with. We were very apprehensive going back into the pub after lockdown but we feel very safe. The pub is clean & the girls are on top of making sure glasses & tables are taken care of as soon as other customer leave. The girls clearly have a love for zoflora as thats the first thing I smell when I walk in. Whenever out with friends this is the pub we always end up relaxing in as the atmosphere is great. Keep up the great work ladies during this hard time!

Great pub. Had a party in their private function room. There was a lot of space and a private bar in the room. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was a good evening and pricing was also very good as well. There was some parking at the pub itself but you can park on the street close by if there is no space in the parking lot.

The Red Lion is something of a hidden gem in the local area. Great hosts and very welcoming they offer lunches Monday to Friday with a great menu and very reasonably priced. They also have a lovely garden at the rear with a marquee and function facilities that we can highly recommend...nothing is too much trouble for David & Sue the owners!

Regular visitor to this pub and its many amazing facilities. Fabulous home cooked food and drinks selection served by professional and polite staff. We have also had a function held here recently the landlady and landlord couldn’t have done enough to make the evening special and run without a hitch. Our guests complimented us on the food and decoration of the extensive marquee. It was just magical. Couldn’t recommend this place enough wether it’s for lunch, a drink with friends or a function. There is nothing mediocre about the Red Lion.

Unfair to judge it in a bank holiday. Website said food Monday to Friday but not serving on a bank holiday. When the bar staff told us they neglected to offer the rolls on the bar. My OH being the Eagle eyed hungry person that he is noticed them. At £2 a pop they weren't worth it but we both had a hole to fill. However... BRILLIANT range of beers including my cider.. Old rosie. I'd be interested to see the food menu but unfortunately there wasn't one available to view

I'm not a huge fan of the cider that is sold on draught here and was about to leave however I found this outgoing, friendly and very professional member of staff to be so good at her job that she charmed me into staying. I believe she has an amazing career ahead of her in hospitality or anything else she chooses to pursue. Absolutely amazing service, best publican I have met for a long time. Thanks Jo.

Definitely a pub rather than an eats place. Home made lunches are served but don't expect an evening meal. Good range of hand-pulled real ales as well as the usual selection of larger/cider and gin is a speciality. Popular with both locals and visitors. Overall, a good pub.

Having had a very successful lunchtime party booking last year, our line dancing group thought we would go again in June. But, not to be, we would have liked to book a meal for 20 of us in the marquee again. However we were told if we wanted the marquee it would cost £75.00, before the cost of meals even though there wasn't room in the pub for us all to sit together. Needless to say we refused and tried to explain that we did it last year, why could we not do it again. We were told that costs would be incurred, heating etc (in June!?) Not very friendly and will not go again. Surprised they can turn away a 20 party lunch time mid week meal.

Attended a party in the function suite and was pleasantly surprised by the marquee which was tastefully decorated and having its own bar makes it an ideal venue! We enjoyed a couple of drinks in the main bar prior to the party and the staff were very welcoming and friendly! The pub has recently been refurbished to a very high standard and I would definitely recommend a visit!

We only stopped to have a bowl of soup but were very pleased with the experience. The landlady (we assume) was very friendly and had a great sense of humour. Nicely decorated, the main bar has plenty of small tables which could be used for dining, drinking or reading the range of papers on offer.

We came here for a drink and a pudding for the grankids. We did not realise that they had 2 different menus for the puddings. One was alot dearer and the cheaper one was not available to us and they had run out if most available and no icecream. The grankids wanted a pudding so was an expensive night.
