The Red Lion in North Hertfordshire

Friendly and welcoming. Beer was nice! Didn't have any food but what was brought out to other guests looked nice.

Very nice pub with great live music and awesome atmosphere. We’ve had a great time and we’ll definitely come back

Lovely stop after our walk at Hitch wood. Friendly staff, good atmosphere, had a live band playing in the garden, Lovely place.

Quintessential village pub, decent ales , food could be bigger portions but all in all one of the best in North herts

Lovely pub, good beer selection, and an excellent garden!

Great community pub. Friendly staff, great beers and lovely setting.

Charming pub on the village green,popped in fir sunday lunch before the village cup cricket match. Had a lovely spinach and mushroom lasagne with a pint of cider, excellent value.

Delicious food. Reasonable value, lovely countryside location. A brilliant large garden too. It's best not to phone as some staff don't make you feel welcomed.

Went for Sunday lunch, the food was excellent and the ales on tap where great. I will definitely be going back.

Great local! Good atmosphere. Best in warmer weather when you can sit in the garden

Didn't Have food. Lovely pub 👌

Lovely pub, but didn't feel welcome. Very cliquey and we were stared at quite uncomfortably as we walked in to order some drinks. No food on offer when we arrived so can't comment on that. The person behind the bar on the other hand was lovely and served a great pint of oakhams citra 👌

Great traditional style country pub. Good selection of ales

Amazing little village pub owned by locals. Good local taps, board games and generally a cosy environment in the middle of nowhere. High recommended and worth going out of the way to visit.

An excellent village pub offering great food, great beer, wine and cider and an exceptionally welcoming atmosphere. This is one of my favourite pubs in the area. If you want a lunchtime snack or an evening meal, if you want to bring the family for a welcome change or a reasonably priced meal when cooking is too much effort. I really cannot find anything bad to say about this gem, I recommend both the Sausage and onion baguette and the Ham, egg and chips as a quick lunch alongside a pint of Aspell's or the Side Pocket.

Fantastic find, a lovely community run pub serving excellent food with a smile. Came across the pub by chance online and decided to give it a go, a refreshingly traditional style greeted us and ordering was done at the bar with a blackboard pinned up to show the menu. I had the mussels to start which were fresh and in a lovely sauce followed by the ham and leek crumble which was very tasty home cooking. Would definitely recommend a stop here.

Good local pub, food is good but just pub food nothing extraordinary. Service could be improved. It has a wonderful garden!

One of the best country pubs around Hitchin, good food, wine and beers with a loverly beer garden and a relaxed friendly atmosphere.

Great locally sourced food. Beetroot infused Gravlax and Rabbit in cider stew were top quality and very reasonably priced

Stopped in for a pint great village pub

Had the venison burger which was home made and absolutely delicious. My daughter had the veggi chilli and she said it was lovely. Would highly recommend

What a lovely pub, with great ales and a charming garden. Great way to spend a sunny weekend afternoon.

Very nice rural pub, serving great food and lovely beers,

Although open from 5.30pm they did not start serving until 6.30pm. You had to pick from the chalk board as there were no menus. I ordered a prawn baguette only to be told they didn't have any baguettes. In the end we just left and went into Hitchin

Nice Village Pub. Community run - great job folks!!!!

Really welcoming pub with a selection of good beers. Not eaten here, but the food always looks good. Nice garden.

Good beer selection and tasty food, garden looks good and the pub is in a nice location

Excellent beer, lovely beer garden, good and unexpectedly interesting food

I like to have a quick pint in this pub.

Stopped here while cycling around Hertfordshire, there was a coronation picnic outside the pub which i was told, was operated as normal. Ive joined the queue to order and when my turn came i was declined a service and been told the pub is shut even though people were buying drinks as usual. There are ways you talk to people/customers but bro was acting like he spat his dummy out and couldn't find it. Shame as I've reviewed this pub before and gave it 5 star and after my ladt visit I won't be coming back for sure.

Great pub. Good quality lunch,not too expensive. Busy but with efficient service and garden to spread out with kids/dogs.

Nice spacious garden to enjoy a pint and a bite to eat. Food is great and staff friendly.

Incredible beer and good hearty food. A fabulous pub.

Food took an hour and 20 mins to arrive (for 2 mains) and then was really very average.

Excellent always highly recommended

Friendly staff, great atmosphere. A traditional local with friendly locals. A pub which values your business.

Couldn't have been a better pub. Great atmosphere, good beer, and amazing food, just what we needed after a long walk in beautiful countryside. Also spotless!

Delicious food, we all loved it. Thank you

Excellent pub, great beer and staff

Definitely in my top 10 pubs in the world. Great beer, relaxed local, good food, in a bit of a time capsule but in a good way. Been back many times. Always a good pint. Had a lovely burger as well this time.

A beautiful pub in a wonderful setting that proudly presents itself as what it is. A friendly comfortable hospital place for friends family and visitors alike. Serving food that has never failed to impress. An establishment proud to be exactly what it is and not pretending to be something it's not. Add to this it's village centre importance and year round welcome and the package is complete. Thank you.

Nice place, although £4 for a cup of coffee is to much.

Great pub, highly recommended. Didn't eat here but food looked fantastic. Great location

Village input makes this a Loacal

Great selection of real ale and lovely food. Friendly staff.

The pub garden is beautiful and has absolutely beautiful scenery, but the food takes very long. About 45 minutes to an hour for a sandwich! It’s quite nice but if you’re impatient I don’t recommend it.

A friendly place to visit or to use as a base for a walk around the countryside. We decided to stop and have a coffee, however we were charged £4 per cup, never again! By the way, the coffee was ok, but not really good either.

Proper English country pub Everything to like here Decent food and drink And reasonable prices

Good to see it so busy unlike how many other pubs have seemingly become. Great pint of Oscar Wilde Mild!

I know this is a resident owned pub and it was busy with a full garden, but an hour and 15min waiting for a sandwich to arrive is not right. There needs to be some sort of plan in place for when it gets busy. Nice looking pub and staff smiley and friendly.

A lovely country pub beautifully run by the community with a good menu. Highly recommend.

We love the food here, all homemade, and really excellent quality. My favourite is chilli crab spaghetti, well worth trying. Staff very pleasant and helpful. Well worth a visit

A very popular community pub with some good beers like 3 Brewers classic and Sidepocket. Good choices of food on the menu including crab an prawns. On-line menu is only a guide as current menu was on the blackboard. Friendly staff. Good local walks from the pub and an old well with winding mechanism which has a interesting history. We'll worth a visit.

Nice local pub. Good range of beers/ ales and other drinks. We had a meal and all enjoyed the food.

Excellent village pub with great friendly atmosphere and wonderful garden with loads of benches, well worth a visit for beautiful fresh sausage baguettes

Stopped here for a pint or two on bank Holiday Monday part the way around an 11 mile walk. Despite concerns that the pub might be closed, found it was open, and had a couple of very good pints. Would visit again. Chip van in the car park also provided some much need sustenance!

Nice village.pub, over looking the village green.

Lovely country pub, good pub-food menu. The occasional wait at the bar is worth it.

Lovely lunch in the pretty beer garden...

The real ale we choose went off. Had the last 2pts for £1.🙂It was nice to be asked if we wanted them because usually last can be a bit iffy. 🙁Chips are actually skinny frys, otherwise 👍

Community owned country pub with large garden. Has several good ales and good quality traditional food, obviously it's been turned into the pub it's owners was wanted. Popular with cyclists during the day and those with cars in the evening.

Food very good, service could have been better.

This is a beautiful place with good beers, exquisite pub food, friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere.

Stumbled across this pub today on a cold rainy afternoon out walking and what a find..calm warm friendly atmosphere set in a pretty village and the food smelt and looked outstanding I will be back.

Excellent food and service in a lovely, friendly, cosy pub 😁🥳

I only wish my local was as well run and welcoming as it always is here.

Great village pub - had a good selection of beers on. The garden is amazing so a great destination for a summer walk / run / cycle

Great hosts and a friendly little pub with super food and drink

Nice country pub community run menu and meal very good

Lovely village pub serving delicious meals

Food took a long time and did not all arrive at the same time.

Lovely place. Nice big garden and friendly staff. Go for lunch and nearly always have bap and fries.

Very good food, good service, good service, what more is there to ask for?

Lovely country pub... Lovely friendly staff

A welcoming village pub with a large garden - excellent in the sunshine, real ales and delicious food.

Lovely village pub. Nice range of drinks. Great beer gardens and pub

This pub has lots going for it but the trampoline is an absolute deathtrap! It’s completely out sight of the main beer garden and today I witnessed about a dozen kids on it at once completely unsupervised! No net around it either!

Great place to watch Lions get thrashed by the Worlds worst rugby team. Beers all free!

This pub was an excellent find on a work lunch. Fantastic setting, friendly staff and really nice beers. Didnt have chance to try the food on this occasion but will definitely be heading back to do just that.

Really nice local pub, goodxfood

Really nice village pub, friendly staff. Can't comment on the food as have not partaken.

Great pub, nice walks and nice food

Lovely country pub that we found by chance. Staff so friendly and attentive.

Excellent food and service as always.

Good beer and great food in spacious gardens. Well organised, clean, with friendly and very helpful staff

Loved the space at the back. Friendly and warm staff.

A glass of chilled Sauvignon, with Manchego cheese and anchovies for lunch in a lovely rustic setting on an English summer day. What's not to like?

After a hard cycle there’s nothing better than a pint - nice choice of beers available but went for a thirst quenching cider! Friendly staff and a nice garden till it got cold and then went inside for the last couple, enjoyed with a bowl of chips.

Great pub, very friendly. Community owned. Well kept beer, good choice of gin. Varied menu with lots of specials. Very clean. Super landlord and staff. Highly recommended.

Nice ales and lovely food, in the garden of course. Friendly and helpful service. Thank you 😊

Ray and Jo have the best pub around. Great beers, brilliant food and a welcoming atmosphere. Cannot recommend more

Village pub, great food, nice selection of beers/ales

Lovely pub with a really good selection of craft ales and a good food menu. Large beer garden and car park. One of my favourites in the Hitchin area and plenty of really good walks to do from here. Looking forward to its reopening tomorrow

Pints in immaculate nick. Lots of love, the corner boys x

Great pub, great food, great staff, very well organized.

Waiting time abysmal, ordered burger and chips, arrived on a cold plate, skinny chips, no option of skinny or chunky, burger was miniature, very tasty though, no side salad a d no coleslaw, wont be back.

We had been to this pub, years ago. It has always been cosy, welcoming and charming. Visited yesturday and by contrast, it was cold, unwelcoming and the whole place smelled of fish. No atmosphere at all. Great shame.

Nice place, friendly, good service and range of liquids

Excellent food, superfood..felt safe from covid

Keeping well for food and beer .. mostly in the garden
