The pub itself is old-fashioned and a lovely place to enjoy a few hours while having a beautiful meal while having a drink. The service was above and beyond, explaining all the different ales to me and letting me try them. The food was unbelievably good. The 1st bite made my partner and I both happy that we came along for a meal. It's not the cheapest place to go to. But it's totally worth it, and we will go back in the future. Best meal we have had in a long time!

It’s was a few days before Christmas and myself and my better half popped in to meet some friends for a few drinks. The atmosphere was outstanding along with the service. The food was amazing and the drinks flowed all night. This is an outstanding country pub and would highly recommend. 5 star all the way.

Without a shadow of a doubt this place is outstanding for their food . The only issue we all had is the cold , even though there were heaters in the restaurant we had a draft where we were sitting and it made the night uncomfortable sitting with cold feet and hands. Blankets are a fantastic idea , not everyonne will like using a blanket that has been on someone else's body. It potentially could put people off from coming if the air is cold so maybe something to consider by upgrading your heating. Don't go to the toilet your feel like your sitting outside because there is no heating at all in there.

We wandered into the Red Lion after a wet and windy walk with the dog. The staff were so friendly and inviting, the atmosphere was warm and cosy - perfect for a relaxing autumnal lunch. They even had treats and blankets for our pooch! The food was really outstanding. If you're looking for recommendations from the set lunch menu, my partner thought the salmon tagliatelle was perfectly seasoned with the exact right amount of dill to balance the whole dish, and I had the sausage and new potatoes which truly warmed my cockles - so rich and comforting. A big shout out to the bread sticks with garlic butter too - so moreish!

Very very expensive. Sunday lunch was £21 pp and that was just pork. The meat was like pulled pork but stuck together. I said to my partner is that the stuffing 😳no crackling and Luke warm. The desserts were £9 so we didn’t bother. I know they are trying to claw some money back after Covid but these prices are well over the top

The reason for our visit was numerous friends asking me what I thought of it as they had heard good things, I am the local food crash test dummy :). I have read many comments highlighting "interesting", "quirky" menu , in the most part it is actually just very clever and original, and depicts a chef showcasing his own style, which is critical for the industry to constantly evolve. The RL definitely has a pub feel to it , to accompany the menu , and is an excellent balance for its location, and is certainly being talked about. We arrived and were warmly greeted, and immediately shown to our table, would have liked to have been offered a drink at the bar first perhaps, which could be an important tactic. On evening of our visit(Thursday) there is a homemade pie and drink offer which is normally popular I am told, but on this evening the A la Carte reigned supreme, which put the kitchen under pressure, offering drinks at the bar, with a menu to order prior to being shown to the table, gives the kitchen extra prep minutes for that attention to detail without the customers feeling they are waiting. The Dining experience, Hambleton Bread arrived, think it was meant to be warm but fell short, with some lovely local butter, it arrived literally 2/3 minutes before our starter, I had noticed this occurred on other tables as well, so placement of starters were difficult as bread came on large board. It is important that anyone reading continues to the end of this review and not jump to conclusions! We both ordered the Marsh Samphire Pakora , which again I tip my hat to Frazer for this one, this defines fusion cooking to perfection and really really clever, only to be told at ordering point it wasn't available, very disappointing, ( back to a menu brief and pre-order at bar?) Back to the menus.... Starters arrived, Crab cakes were excellent well balanced flavour with panna cotta to balance the texture , clever dish, I would surmise that this was faultless as it is all about the mis en place with this dish, the fallow deer loin, with green beans & fried onions not so, cooked perfectly blue it was distinctly lacking in seasoning, served with stem broccoli and fried onions, the dishes was just overwhelmed with the taste of inconsistently cooked fried onions, ( perhaps charred 1/2 pearl onions, wouldn't hold the grease as much? Mains- Sea Bream with shellfish sauce/ Pork Rib Eye with pickled cabbage and oregano parmentier potatoes, these dishes were returned but i would emphasise that while this was again disappointing, the customer service here was exceptionally good, and demonstrated an absolute dedication to getting it right, when replaced the shellfish sauce was excellent, as was the jus with the pork , and I thoroughly enjoyed this, with the pickled cabbage adding a piquant impact that brought the dish together. I asked how many were in the kitchen, and wasn't surprised to hear Frazer was alone, and as highlighted earlier, the A la carte took the brunt, worth remembering how a non-popular pie option impacts :). The RL is only going to get busier, and with that the potential to miss more detail, and if standards drop become a victim of its own success, though our experience wasn't the greatest, it in no way reflects the potential for this place, it definitely needs some fine tuning and is a little raw, I would guess that this is the landlords first solo venture but just hope he has the time to learn as he goes along, because , it maybe a way off yet but it should be targeting Michelin guide in 2 years if they can iron out the creases. Final point , I am heading back tomorrow, just to try the homemade eccles cake with Stilton ice cream and port gel, I hope i get a wow, i have one reservation about it, but really looking forward to being wrong, but again very clever concept !!

Once again, we enjoyed an excellent meal from a varied menu. Indeed one of us tried some 'wood ants'. Guess what, they are truly delicious: bursting with flavour! Who knew!! Two of us enjoyed the 'best fish and chips' in the world, which once again lived up to expectations. Coupled with friendly service, this led to our having a really enjoyable evening.

Flavourful starters with unusual flavour combinations- crayfish and tomato bruschetta, smoked venison, delicious mains : memorably delicious pulled smoked beef patty with beautifully cooked veg, flavoursome pork, veggie tempura courgette flarbreads with amazing herby salad, and puddings to die for - cherry frangipane and chocolate mousse, deliciously chocolatey but not too sweet, with raspberries. Super friendly service too. Try it - you will be amazed....

We liked this rustic pub, its ambience and lovely young staff who were so nice and polite and welcoming. We had texted using the enail address from the website and no reply so called by for a drink and explained. We booked for the following Sun and Emma was so apologetic promising us a good table and wine!!!! We enjoyed a cool table in the bar and a delicious loin of lamb with all the usual roast veg. The gravy was delicious as was my lamb though not pink. Homemade mint sauce a great extra. Veg cooked perfectly. Nothing to fault the lunch if a tad pricey at £22.50. The drinks were costly. My spritizer over £8.00 Our bill total over £70 for drinks light nibbles crackling and apple sauce to die for and olives and one course. We thanked staff and tipped as service was very good. Did we get complimentary wine??? Asking Emma about the website she said the email worked ok. On looking again I noted the email address now in RED and altered slightly. Why? No idea nor had Emma when I emailed. My advice is telephone to be sure.

Dropped in for early Dinner as our Lunch elsewhere was disrupted by a massive thunderstorm. We were ready for a good meal and wouldn't be disappointed. The staff was very accomodating on a Saturday Evening. The meal was superb. I had pulled pork croquettes to start with Beef Brisket to follow. My wife chose the Lamb and a Chocolate Mousse with Raspberries to finish (although she did decide to have the Sweet to go as she could quite fit it in). Everything was perfect, the Ale, the service and the Food. If you want your standard mass produce pub grub, you won't find it here. A well balance Menu with no Chefy craziness. We're losing so many Vilage Pubs and ones that serve good food are becoming rare. If you think your overheads and Utility Bills are out of control at home, talk to your local Landlord. Keep supporting these good Pubs so we have a place to come back to in the future. Advance reservations really help plan staff and stock levels so give them a call soon. Yes, I did know the trade quite well before retirement. The News everywhere is all doom and gloom - forever telling us "You've never had it so bad". Cheer yourself up and get along to the Red Lion, West Deeping soon.

We haven't been here before and had the set menu for lunch. When our starters came (all four of us had chosen the salmon tartar with capers and pickled cucumber) we realised that we were in for a real treat. There were only two remaining chicken paprika for the main course, but Frazer offered a pork tenderloin (which I had). The pork was beautifully moist and came with cauliflower and delicious sauces. We were amazed that there weren't more people having lunch here. I suspect it won't remain a secret for much longer.

We had an amazing meal last night from such a creative Head chef, Frazer and his team. The menu is so inviting, it takes a while to choose from as all dishes are so appealing. I had the wild goose on sourdough toast with pickles, followed by sea bass all cooked to perfection, finished off with the lemon balm creme brulee. My husband had the amazing cauliflower soup, loin and cheek of pork followed by the forced rhubarb doughnut with saffron cream and added Ice cream too. The front of house team are both professional and friendly plus there is a warm and welcoming atmosphere here whether you are in for just drinks or dining too. The village is so lucky to have this gem of a pub/restaurant on their doorstep plus the surrounding area too.

Decent little pub. Visited the place for the office Christmas meal . Had the misfortune of visiting on the very day their heating was down. The staff tried to fix it by ensuring all the electric heaters were turned on. Unfortunately it was still cold. The food was freshly prepared and brought out on time. Friendly and courteous staff made the experience enjoyable. I'm the wrong person to be judging/evaluating traditional food. But I'll give it a go. Starter- chicken and pheasant terrine. The flavours worked well and the crispy toasted (muffins?) were good. Mains- slow cooked beef. I'm told by my friends that it was done very well and they enjoyed it. Dessert- kumquat Christmas pudding - absolutely delicious and a decent sized portion for those who love their desserts. Have a look at the pictures for reference. I plan on coming in another time to try out their normal venue. I'm sure with heating on, the ambience of the pub would be lovely. They have a few seats beside the fireplace and ona wintry day that would the best spot in the pub!

The Red Lion is a lovley mixed pub/restaurant, providing both a high end dining experience as well as village pub. I'm pleased to report that it has managed to do these two tasks successfully! My partner and I stopped in for a Sunday lunch and were treated to a beautifully presented meal with delicate flavours, in a lovley restaurant setting. The front of the pub on the other hand, provides all the needs of a good village pub. Cozy fireplaces are set along side an excellent choice of beers on draft. Overall this is definitely somewhere I'll use again, perhaps not for a quick lunch, but absolutely for a special treat.
