The Red Lion in South Holland

Had a lovely meal, good sized portions and very tasty. Service with excellent, not rushed but very attentive. We will definitely be back.

Only in the area for 3 nights but visited twice. Food, staff, atmosphere totally wonderful, can't wait to visit again.

Stayed here for four nights, really enjoyed it, very clean and lovely chalet. Had food one night which we found to be excellent. Would certainly recommend.

What a rare find. Lovely place and great staff. Whilst we were initially disappointed not to have the full menu as it was a theme night. However, the food on the grill night was really good and reasonably priced. We would recommend to anyone you will enjoy a visit.

Visit regularly. Good food and attentive staff. Lovely atmosphere on a Saturday night. Great for parties and family occasions. Credit to the area

All amazing ! the place,music,food and staffs.

At time not busy bar staff slow did not acknowledge when standing was chatting and making drinks in a very unprofessional way instead of getting the job done then was told someone would serve in a moment did not stay as was told closing early needs a better atmosphere and staff training

I had an amazing birthday Saturday night here. We had an excellent meal, I always have the steak and have NEVER been disappointed! Super star entertainment with Scott as 'Robbie Williams' and an ensuite room where the bed was just so comfy to wake up the next morning feeling more than rested!! Thank you to all the attentive and brilliant staff at the Red Lion! We will be back!!

Visited for the first time today to have lunch with my partner . We were not disappointed ! The food was amazing and the restaurant , toilets and outside space were immaculate. We were very impressed and the young lady who served us was very friendly and professional ! We will definitely be back !!

Very good nice staff food good location great

Excellent early evening meal with grandchildren. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. Children's menu available too. Really friendly staff. Definitely be back next time we are in this area. Note that there is no car park but plenty of on street parking outside and nearby.

This is an awesome establishment, with some very happy, smiley, and helpful staff. We will definitely be going back for food in the immediate future as what we see looked very nice indeed.

Amazing local pub. The food isn’t your typical pub grub it’s way nicer! We’ve been here on New Year’s Eve for the Elton John tribute too which was amazing..busy and great atmosphere. Drinks are lovely, so is the male who I assume is the owner..best pub in holbeach

I've been many times and the service and food is always great. Can't wait to see you again soon.

There on a weekday night for a meal. Food was fantastic. Staff were friendly. Great atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

Couldn't believe the roast dinner we was served up yesterday. It took 70 minutes to come, and to say we were disappointed is an understatement. Everything was burnt. The roast potatoes (one was hollow) and parsnips were rock solid and almost black and a struggle to cut through. The carrots were such a weird brown colour they looked like sausages . The only decent parts were the stuffing & meat ,we did get complimentary desserts, but in all honesty, we came for a roast, not a dessert . I really felt bad for the waiter's having to deal with multiple complaints from quite a lot of people, but they handled it like pros.

Always a good night at the Red Lion, decent beers, amazing cocktails and the service is excellent. Alex and the team are welcoming and hospitable and it is such a nice environment with live music most weekends Different themed food menus are good value - burger night, grill night, fish & chip night as well as a la carte and Sunday lunch menus, the #1 place to go in Holbeach by far!

Lovely place with nice fast service. My go to pub in holbeach!

Once again, a great evening. The food was exceptional, and the service impeccable. Robbie was absolutely amazing, creating the atmosphere for a fun filled evening. The staff are an absolute credit to Alex. Looking forward to the next one 😀

Sat waiting for an hour for our food as they had to go and get more fish!! The Thai chilli beef was average, the two chicken and mushroom pies that were ordered were more like a Yorkshire pudding not pastry, filled with dry chicken and no sauce. These last two were presented on a slate so had to ask for proper plates to enable the gravy ( charged as as an extra as were the peas!!) to stay on the plate!! A second bottle of white wine came out at room temperature and we were told we could have it for free, not offered an alternative cold one. No ice in the ice bucket to even cool it down! All in all a disappointing evening in what used to be probably the best pub in Holbeach. Won't be revisiting in a hurry sadly.

Millie & Jess are amazing, i will definitely be back when im next in the area! One in a million

Ive stayed here for work recently, coming from London my expectations of nightlife are high haha, and Saturday here is amazing…. Live music and drinks flowing.. it’s such a lovely wholesome place, like a self catering apartment , thank you to Millie for your hospitality!

We met with a friend for social catch up. Delightful pub and very friendly staff. The interior was very nice and enough spaces between tables. The food was very good and value for the money. Staff very attentive and friendly. Would revisit.

Lovely staff, amazing food, great service and unmatched place in general.

the food is lovely, the staff are sweet and lovely, the vibes is very relaxed and welcoming.Looking forward to coming back

Very good food and atmosphere. We had a group booking and everything went well and we all enjoyed our evening. We went on the grill night, Wednesday, which was very good.

In all my years I have never complained but the meal tonight was absolutely salty and uneatable. Been a couple of times and the food has been OK. First time ever I've asked them to take the food away and not pay. Salty and uneatable

Fabulous. Singer on doing all Motown. Great atmosphere and food. A real find .

Awesome atmosphere. Fantastic food. Amazing cocktails and superb staff. We were meant to be attending a cocktail masterclass at Ohana in Holbeach. After paying for the experience, we turned up at our booked time to find the bar closed and in darkness. It turns out that Josh from Ohana had forgotten about our booking so we ventured to the Red Lion who found us a table to eat and we enjoyed our night out. We had the best time. The manager and staff were attentive and we couldn’t fault the food. Could not recommend the Red Lion highly enough! Thank you and we will return. Between us all we reckon we spent circa £500. Too bad Ohana that you didn’t give a hoot about us ! Your loss ! Thanks Red Lion !!! Blinking fantastic !!

Excellent room, comfortable spacious and clean. The staff are kind and accommodating, and the restaurant does great food. The room could do with a microwave for when the restaurant is closed but that's the only criticism I have.

This has been our local for the last few years, always had great service from Alex and the team , always a great atmosphere , food is always top notch , never had any complaints with the quality of food … we love going for cocktails and to the tribute act nights and just to have a few drinks and relax … the team always make us feel welcome

We have always been welcomed by Alex and the team since he took over the Red Lion a few years ago … great atmosphere, fab team , just the place we go to for a fab Sunday roast , cocktails, for a great music tribute act on a Saturday night or just to relax with a few drinks 👌🏻❤️

Great pub/restaurant from the minute we walked in, we received a lovely warm welcome from staff, which carried on through the evening. The menu had and our food was delicious. And being a Saturday night there was live music. "P!nk" she was very good. All in all great eve. Thanks Red Lion.

Was disappointed, had heard good things about the food. Table of 6 had to wait over an hour, was not packed in there ,. When we did receive food mine was cold and 2 others where warm . Was expecting better .

Me and my husband went to the grill night and wow it was amazing. We had the mixed grill for 2, the food was delicious and perfectly cooked, presentation was 10 out of 10, the staff were all really friendly and professional. Our evening was perfect and I highly recommend going for and evening out and a cocktail or 2 🍸🍸

THE BEST RESTAURANT IN MILES AMAZING CHOICE GREAT FOOD PERFECTLY COOKED GREAT AMBIANCE FANTASTIC STAFF AN APPLE PIE TO DIE FOR MUST VIST

Went for a meal only. Not typical pub grub! It was excellent. Pics show paté on sourdough (I think), with blackberries and small onions. The other pic shows pork belly. Very well done and presented.

Recently went for a last minute Sunday roast with 2 of us vegans. Meat eaters and Vegans were both welcomed with great options and lovely service. Staff were friendly and attentive. Atmosphere was pleasant and warm. Would deffo come again if in the area.

Great venue for live music and a meal. Sunday Jazz is suprerb. Food is great but they often make simple mistakes when taking bookings. 😞

Saturday lunch for six. Excellent food. Friendly efficient service

Food was burnt, sent back and still burnt, tried to speak to manager.. he was unapproachable......childrens food was inedible......I am speechless

Ideal venue for our girlie afternoon. Fabulous service and atmosphere . Good food. Will definitely be back and highly recommend

2nd visit and equally as good as the first. Lunchtime menu not massive choice but food chosen was lovely. Service excellent and atmosphere great. Just bring your glasses and torch to see the menu!!!

Excellent little gem in Holbeach. ☺️

We had booked a table for mother's day yesterday. Nice pub and staff, but the food was terrible. We all had 3 course meal the starters was bland tasteless greasy, the main was a posh roast, but we couldn't cut through the beet and pork the 3 roast potatoes was raw, 2 long carrots was rock hard and 1 little steam of broccoli which was placed on the top of the dish was over done and looked rotten. The stuffing ball had not been cooked just rolled up and put on the plate the gravy was like tasteless water. We are very pleased we did not get to eat the dessert.

went for lunch, service was amazing and the menu was amazing. the waitresses were so lovely. sticky toffee was to die for!

Fabulous Sunday lunch. All 6 of us thoroughly enjoyed it. The meat was just perfect along with everything that went with it. Couldn’t fault it whatsoever. Warm friendly welcome, service was excellent for the entirety of our time spent there. We will Definitely be returning.

The best pub for any steak in holbeach and the surrounding area Always perfectly cooked and served by friendly smiling staff that can never do to much for you Great selection of beers, ales and cocktails that look as good as they taste If you haven’t been I would definitely say give it ago Live music most weekend The lion never disappoints

Such a welcoming cosy pub, friendly staff and The food tastes amazing, you can tell they use very good quality ingredients, my favourite was the steak, done just how I like it. We also had a cheeky cocktail or two.

Went to the Red Lion once again as 1st experience so good, this visit did not disappoint. Food was fantastic and cocktails brilliant. Great atmosphere and staff and owner know exactly what they are doing to ensure a great night…….be back very soon!!

Sensational time had by all. Great food & quick service. Would recommend. Many thanks Alex & the team - Sylvia

Been here several times for drinks,times for food and times for drinks,food and entertainment.Excellent service,great staff and brilliant selection of live entertainment

Amazing please with very good food, professional staff and amazing atmosphere. Thank you guys

Excellent food great menu choices all at reasonable prices fantastic service and great atmosphere

Fantastic food and atmosphere, brilliant hosts, Absolute credit to themselves and just what Holbeach needs

This is such a lovely place , and highly recommended , we decided to have dinner , a date night , to round off a long week , we were made to feel so special , lovely welcome , friendly staff , very attentive , beautiful atmosphere,, and all this was before the food. The steak was some of the best I’ve tested and I washed it down with some amazing cocktails , this is a real gem we will be back , thank you all , top class

amazing food and the staff are so lovely, can't beat the atmosphere in there

Great dinner at the red lion large array of food and drink choices all at very good prices every time we come for dinner we always have a great meal the food is all fresh and the cocktails are excellent

Attended the red lion on New Year’s Eve with family and and was welcomed with happy and bubbly staff, when offering the tickets I informed them that myself had dietary requirements which they catered for , the atmosphere was 2nd to none I will definitely be back new year

This venue is amazing. When so many hospitality businesses are suffering and pulling back to save on costs. The Red Lion roared again on New Years Eve. Tickets were a great price bearing in mind the food was simply outstanding. There are buffets and buffets this was one hell of a buffet. The mini Turkey pies were to die for. Yes it was busy but you would expect that on New Year’s Eve, you don’t normally go to an event like this to sit down you go to Party which is exactly what the Red Lion provided. Excellent drinks just wish they could extend. The team are very professional and although exhausted did a great job in keeping us all fed and watered. Well done guys Happy New Year to you all.

Waited 30 minutes for a menu and even then the waitress was impolite, the food is basic and well over priced I don’t recommend

TAKING ADVANTAGE OF DISABLED CUSTOMERS! Booked and paid for tickets for New Year’s Eve at £30 each. Needed to have a seat because one of us was disabled so asked if they could reserve a seat. Was amazed and disgusted at the response “ can’t guarantee you one but…money talks” followed by “£20 each” We were charged £80 to reserve the 4 seats because one person was disabled on top of the £120 for 4 tickets for what was at best, an average night! Excellent singer, however the food was really poor with very little choice and the variety of drinks was abysmal! By 11pm they had absolutely no cider and the choice of spirits was worse than a pop up bar. Half the staff clearly didn’t want to be there, all adding upto a less than friendly welcome and atmosphere.

Alex and team provide a first class service. Excellent surroundings and ambience, combined with professional service and exemplary food. We had a wonderful meal. Everything top notch. Thanks!

Family birthday dinner. Lovely atmosphere. Attentive staff and excellent food. The portion size is just right so that you can enjoy three courses without feeling over full. Quality of the food is outstanding for a small town restaurant.

What can i say amazing food and atmosphere, bar staff and waiters all friendly and helpful. Great value for money

Love this place! The food is always exceptional, staff professional but really friendly and helpful. Live music adds to the experience and we have seen many acts here. We will be enjoying New Years Eve here again this year , but before then shall revisit with friends in a couple of weeks time. We have held birthday parties there over the last couple of years and never been disappointed. After having surgery, they were very accommodating to my challenging dietary needs. The Red Lion is perfect for all celebrations and family get together and meals - oh - and their cocktails are delicious too!

Visited with a friend during a day off, had cocktails and Camembert by the fire which was really nice. Was quiet on a Sunday night which was also nice for a catch up with an old friend. Thank you to the girls on duty for making us feel so welcome.

We went to this pub for a meal before a wedding and had a great time. Delicious food (especially the mushroom starter) and great staff. Wine was decent too! Would definitely recommend.

Excellent Sunday lunch in a beautiful pub setting Staff are nice helpful and always go the extra mile

Excellent food, excellent service. Staff are tentative and management always on hand. The cocktails are great as is the music. A gem in Holbeach. If you haven’t been take a look. Highly recommended.

Visited with friends on a busy Saturday night. Food, atmosphere and service were all excellent. There were 6 of us and all the food was served together and piping hot. I had the steak and it was cooked to absolute perfection. Although it was a...

Went in for Sunday dinner. Not the greatest experience. Cold under cooked meat. Small portions overpriced! Forgot the side order. Staff where very nice beer was 10/10 👍

We are not regular pub goers really, but this little gem in Holbeach has become where we go for beautiful wholesome food, the most delicious cocktails live music and most of all atmosphere ❤️ It really is a lovely place to go!!!! Staff are soo...

The pub is OK, the food is average and the service is slow. Vegetarians have an option of 1 meal, the fish that was the fish and chips was watery but the chips were nice. The sticky toffee pudding was remarkably like chocolate fudge cake and no custard available. The lighting in the pub made the place gloomy. All in all it was an average meal

We went to the red lion for my partners birthday, the food was mediocre at best considering the price and the menu was very limited. The atmosphere was ruined by dim lighting and loud punters on a table nearby swearingloud enough for our table to clearly hear, I would not recommend. The only plus side was that the waitresses were very friendly and outgoing.

A rare date night for me and hubby, and we're so pleased we picked the Red Lion! It was an incredibly hot night but the team worked their arses off looking after everyone in the pub and keeping a sense of humour. The atmosphere was...

Had a lovely evening here. Staff looked after us extremely well. We went for a shared platter and wasn't disappointed.. Recommended

Beautiful food, so tasty! We visited on a Saturday night when there was a live singer, although it was a little loud it enhanced the atmosphere. We were told when ordering that service would be slow as there was only one chef working. Staff kept us informed and provided some free drinks. The food was amazing and well worth waiting for.

Yes I’m a local but you have to always acknowledge the service they give to you every time you visit And yes I adore all the team I have many friends visit us and we take them here due to always being made feel special The entertainment is always great the food is awesome Fantastic landlords with an amazing team

Real local Gem, Alex and Ben have done a great job returning an old business to new glory. Good value and well run local! Cocktails are exceptionally done well by Ben!

Totally would come back again enjoyed the food, service and staff were all impeccable 10 out of 10

Brilliant night, at the wedding dinner for my sister in law, staff was lovely and was great atmosphere, thank you everyone at the Red lion

Our son and daughter in law had their wedding reception here on Saturday and the food and staff were absolutely fantastic. We could not have wished for anything better. Thank you so much Joe and Mandy Cornes

Had a fantastic afternoon/evening at the Red Lion. Our daughter had her wedding dinner and evening here and the food was excellent, and the staff were amazing. Want to say a massive thank you to Alex and the team, that includes front and back off house, for making sure everything went well and a good time was had by all. Great to see a local establishment able to offer quality food, atmosphere and service.

Lovely pub. Staff are friendly and cheery. Food is tasty and well priced. They have a great cocktail menu, I especially love the salted caramel espresso martini and the gingerbread man

We had a really warm welcome here and a beautiful meal. There was a large group of us and all our meals were served together. The food was excellent and the staff friendly. We were treated to some fantastic entertainment with the Adele experience. There...

Called in for a drink whilst out on the bike. Lovely atmosphere & looked newly refurbished. Food options looked very good but not for us this time perhaps next.

The Red Lion recently hosted my Father's Celebration of Life Party and I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Alex and the team who helped to make it so special and memorable. Alex couldn't have been more accomodating or helpful during the planning and on the night. The buffet was fantastic too. I've eaten here a few times when visiting my parents and the food is always great, plus the cocktails are amazing too. Highly recommended for a night out, meal, or for a function. Definitely my go to pub in Holbeach. Thanks again all, I really appreciate it. Ellie x

Excellent food, Delivered to your Table on a slate plate, fresh and hot. Entertainment later, a Singer who got people up Dancing. Oh and Lovely Cocktails.

I had Sunday lunch with my wife and 2 others, everything was perfect even dog friendly, would go again

Saw the Adele tribute here on Saturday and she was amazing! She had the crowd up dancing all night . Will definitely come again

Excellent food service but beware of portion size.

Very nice place, staff is very polite and place has good vibe. Food was nice but it is modular size so more on fancy side so expect paying for quality not quantity. To put is blantly spoon of mash to jug of gravy and red cabbage was red dab of 'paint' for decor. Hope that helps.

Brilliant x went there for mother's Day. Great meal. Lovely staff

Popped in for a few drinks with family. First time visit - what a lovely pub/restaurant. Food looks lush and service second to none. Will definitely return for food !

Excellent evening at the Red Lion, great food, great service, fantastic atmosphere and the Dusty tribute act was awesome.

Absolutely fantastic night With a Dusty Springfields tribute Night. She was Brilliant. Definitely be back 👍

We turned up and walked in and the place had a very nice atmosphere, very tidy and the staff were very welcoming. We were ordering as a table of 11 and the food came out really quick. Everyone said theyr food was amazing. We'll be back next year

I was staying at my friend's and they booked a meal here, what can I say absolutely beautiful food, fantastic service, all friendly and nothing too much trouble, staff are very attentive and all so happy, definitely recommend if you haven't been you need to book 😊

Atmosphere and food second to none. Like brining a slice of the city to the countryside. Absolutely stunning and our new favourite venue even though we live 25 mins away!
