The Red Lion in Chiltern - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Absolutely lovely place we come here all the time Roger & Ollie are so friendly as with all the other staff there & always accommodating the Sunday roast is the best one around lovely atmosphere too

Pleasant Sunday lunch in the garden. Roast lunch was ok - lukewarm and meat quite underdone. Roast potatoes quite soggy. Huge portions. Under seasoned. Adequate but not great.

Best pub I’ve been to in a long time. Exactly food & service

What a fantastic little place! Loved it, food is fantastic, beer cold, staff great. Thank you!!!

Popped in for a pint on a seven mile walk. It is more gastro than pub, most people were there for Sunday lunch from an extensive menu, there's only a small bar area but the Timothy Taylor I had was excellent. Comfortable garden at the front on a sunny warm day, nicely busy but I easily got a seat. Overheard friendly and knowledgeable team serving others at the tables. I mark as 4 because a pint and some cashews cost £9 - very much London prices but I guess it's a wealthy area and it's more a restaurant than a local to hang out in. I'll come here for a meal one day.

A really nice pub with fantastic service and great food! Tucked away from sight which makes it feel secluded.

Quintessential country pub. Crystal Beautiful surroundings and casual cosy decor. Absolutely delicious food - possibly the best sticky toffee of my life.

We loved this little pub, such a great find and wonderful atmosphere! Couldn’t recommend it enough.

This place is absolutely slept on! I’ve been coming to the UK for 25 years and I always seek out highly rated restaurants. I only managed to find it, as it’s somewhat remote, because it’s near my in-laws. If a food influencer ever somehow stumbled into this place you won’t be able to get a table, not sure if that’s a good thing. Still one of the most memorable places I’ve eaten in England.

Cracking birthday dinner for our family of 9, 4 adults and 5 kids. Had a full on 3 course meal, discovered the pub by accident. Will definitely be back, great food, great service. Thanks!

Delicious food. All four of us highly satisfied with our meals. There was a large choice of options to pick from, with seasonal specials. There were a few errors with our order, which let it down a bit, but minor issues that were quickly sorted. Thank you.

This was the only venue I phoned to host a Wake for my late Mother that was really friendly and helpful. I went for one down from the best Buffet which included cold food such as Quiche & Sandwiches and hot food such as Chicken & Fish Goujons with Fries. Open bar. The owners & staff were very friendly and accomodating, especially Mary who took my initial call. Would have been 5 * but there was no information about food animal welfare apart from the meat being British. Would have been great had any Pork or Chicken products been at least higher welfare (but short of Free Range although that of course would be perfect). Thanks for your response (editing my review appears to be the only way of coming back to you on Google). I'm very pleased to hear that your Lamb & Pork are Free Range from a very local farm. I tend to think of Beef as being not intensely reared in this country (like Lamb) so that leaves Chicken and Eggs. It would be much appreciated if you could work towards using e.g. only Red Tractor or similar approved Chicken & Eggs. You could then mention animal welfare on your website and discreetly on the Menu.

Great garden to sit out and catch a bite on a sunny spring day

Booked last minute and it was a pleasant surprise. Lovely scenic outdoor garden. The food is well presented, delicious and cooked to perfection. Great service and very welcoming.

Me and my partner went came here last night and it is hands down one of the best, if not, the best pub in the surrounding areas. The food was amazing and the service was fantastic! I highly recommend coming here

Outstanding meals. Beautiful pub 😎😎

Lovely evening! Food, service & staff are top notch. Our new favourite date night restaurant

High quality food, high quality service with very friendly staff... Come with an appetite and definitely try the pies...

Had a fantastic Sunday roast here. The food and wine was superb and I was really impressed with the service - the team are incredibly friendly and attentive. Thanks for a great experience!

Lovely quaint village pub with a cosy atmosphere.

Discovered by accident. It’s quite good

Excellent Sunday roast lamb lunch - there are other options. Will go again!

Had the Christmas lunch. You expect to pay more on 25th December, but at £125 a head you expect something special. It wasn't. The salmon starter was tiny. The Turkey dinner had 2 tiny piglets in blankets, a tiny bit of stuffing and the only veg was cabbage and sprouts. No pork as advertised and no gammon. Service was very slow, cheese board took 45 minutes to arrive because it had to be 'perfect'. It was cheese sliced up. Best avoided on Christmas day imo.

Rubbish pub and people, made a lunch booking for a walking group of twenty plus as their website stated "walking Groups are a speciality, sent out all the details, only to be contacted by the pub a couple of weeks later saying they had had a better offer and we needed to rebook on a different day. Luckily we had another pub in Amersham to go to. Probably just as well we ended up with twenty eight hungry and very thirsty walkers to be fed. We won't be booking here again.

Great Sunday lunch, generous potions. Well kept ales

Loved the outside of the pub, the staffs are friendly, welcoming and helpful and it's impossible not to talk about the food. It’s delicious, fresh and quality. Highly recommendation :))

I'm still here 2 hours later enjoying the guinness. Trying to leave but not able to 😅

Landlady has a terrible attitude

I had soup to start...Red pepper and pesto with gorgeous sourdough bread. The soup was the best I have ever eaten. The pie was beautiful, tarragon and great quality ingredients stood out. Lovely country pub atmosphere. I absolutely recommend.

What a beautiful pub and such lovely lovely staff and owners. A real gem ❤️

Beautiful little pub / restaurant- nicely hidden away Food was genuinely excellent- home cooked pub style food served brilliantly Staff were very attentive £125 for 3 courses & wine 🍷 for 2 of us so it’s a special rather than a regular visit Toilets were very clean 🧽 I would definitely 💯 return here

We hosted a family event over the weekend at the pub, and they did a wonderful job. The food was delicious, and the staff helpful and friendly. It's a great little pub 👏

Best Sunday roast I’ve had in the south. Sirloin of beef……Just proper!!!

We had an absolute fabulous family event at The Red Lion yesterday. The staff were so wonderful and friendly. The food was fantastic. The pub us beautiful a hidden gem. On behalf of my family and friends we would like to thank Roger and his brilliant staff for making us welcome and for your exceptional hospitality. Highly recommend The Red Lion

Food was great but service left something to be desired

Dog friendly pub serving good food.Very popular, making parking difficult

A little gem of a pub, nestled in the small village of Coleshill. Such a warm welcome from the staff and genuinely amazing food. A cracking roast and a sticky toffee pudding that beats the best restaurants in London.

Gorgeous food. Lovely little pub that's worth a trip out for the food alone. Lovely people and service.

A typical English country pub. Lovely staff , good food and somewhere you feel relaxed and welcome.

Amazing food and such a welcoming atmosphere. Staff attentive, helpful & friendly. Thank you

Just had drink. Food menu looked good.

Gorgeous country pub with great service and ample portion sizes. It's like going to a friends house. Parking was easy .

Brilliant countryside pub. Popped in for lunch and a pint with the pup on a muddy circular walk from Amersham. Staff couldn't have been friendlier and the pork belly, as noted on the menu is sourced from a farm a few miles away, was possibly the best I've ever had. can't wait to get back, just a perfect spot.

Beautiful location food was nice! Service impeccable

Just lovely comfortable engaging and friendly atmosphere

Seriously good pub. Beautiful building in the heart of a truly picturesque village. Warm and friendly staff, great beer and lovely ambiance. Highly recommend for a get together or night out.

Up for a Sunday roast and a couple of pints? This place is excellent. Good service and lovely food. Quite pricey. Surprised to find a traditional pub on the outside is actually a modern restaurant on the inside but well worth booking. Nice people.

What a wonderful discovery. W’ve just moved to the area and came today for my husbands birthday meal. Lovely family friend pub with delightful menu. Owner Roger and his team go about and beyond to offer impeccable service. Will return and would 100% recommend. Sticky toffee dessert is to die for!

As ever very happy to recommend!!!

We went there for an after-funeral drink and buffet so I don't know what it's like normally. The food we were served was probably the best after-funeral "ham tea" I've ever had and the staff were lovely

This pub has been recommended to me by so many people over the years that I decided to try it myself having moved into the area. The service was impeccable, ambiance was lovely and the food was delicious. It was the best pork belly I have ever eaten! I shall certainly be returning 😁

Marvellous friendly and highly recommended

Lovely pub, friendly, helpful and knowledgeable staff... and great food! Make sure to say hi to Bertie too!

My friends and i came here after a friend recommended the red lion to us, The food was amazing as was the service we defo will be back for more

what a fantastic pub restaurant.. food was amazing, staff really friendly

Lovely service, beautiful pub. Wonderful big portions. Our new local favourite!

The perfect village pub! We went here on a Thursday evening, and were greeted by very welcoming and friendly staff (including the pub dog). The service was brilliant and the food was excellent. Great flavours and very ample portions. Would highly recommend a visit and will be going here again ourselves.

Lovely Sunday roast and great deserts. Love Bertie the resident hound. Great location, attentive staff. Highly recommend

Roger and the boys are brilliant. Mary great table organizer

Beautiful old pub. At the heart of the village. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great home cooked food. Large menu that was eclipsed by the specials board. Well worth a visit Friday lunchtime was busy so probably worth booking.

Only had a drink here after a walk from Amersham. Very friendly welcome, garden front and back and a nice indoor space. Looks like a lovely place to eat and once I do eat there I will review again and update.

We sat in a lovely outside area. The service was excellent and friendly and helpful. The food was absolutely delicious and very plentiful. I was kindly given a doggy box to take home what I couldn't eat. It was far too yummy to leave. The wine was perfect and the wine glasses are an unusual and very attractive shape. Will most definitely return !

We were not impressed with this place - there was a horrible taste from whatever oil the chips were fried in. Despite me advising the server that my mother is coeliac (gluten allergy) they put her food out on a porous wooden board and she left with an upset stomach. Tables were sticky. Disappointing meal given the reviews are quite positive. Nice surroundings so maybe better for just drinks. Staff were very pleasant but inattentive.

Both the lamp chops and pork were perfect. Beautiful environment and staff were wonderful. Highly recommend

Lovely pub with front and back beer garden.

Lovely pub, good food and wine on offer

Beautiful pub in a beautiful spot. Great service. Only had a drink but the buffet they laid out for my friend looked lovely and delicious. Will definitely go back to try the food. We are so lucky to still have old pubs like that in England ❤️

Great food in lovely surroundings, my son's family moved to the Amersham area at the weekend so tried this pub as the roast choices looked yummy! Thoroughly recommend the Red Lion the food was so good we all made room for their yummy puddings. We will be back!

Great food lovely people serving you . Full of class really enjoyed our visit

Lovely Sunday roast and definitely recommend the sticky toffee pudding but share it with someone as its huge!

Don’t know where to start. From the moment we arrived we knew we were in for a treat. The pub was packed creating a fantastic atmosphere which you rarely see in pubs these days. We chose to go for the traditional Sunday roast which was stunning. Melt in the mouth pork belly with crunchy crackling lots of fresh veg and the best yorkie I’ve had for a long time. The pub is set in a beautiful location. It’s heart warming to see a “proper pub” doing so well. Kudos to the owners as they have got it right 👍 Don’t miss this one you’ll love it :)

Excellent friendly local pub with excellent food and wonderful staff!

Wild flowers, butterflies and chickens in the sunny garden. Idyllic. The hospitality and food are superb too. Beat avocado salad I’ve ever had. What a relaxing and nourishing way to spend a Saturday afternoon with loved ones. Highly recommend.

It was our first ever Sunday lunch here, it won't be the last. Absolute class and quality. Thank you Red Lion.

Called in for a beer. Great friendly staff. Roger Ollie and Barnie make you feel really welcome. Well worth a visit

Took some friends for dinner last night...lovely old cosy pub...great service and the food was delicious....will definitely be back if they could offer a few more vegetarian options...Bertie the pub dog was a charmer.

What a beautiful pub, we was at funeral wake, the food was great, the people were lovely

Really enjoyed this real pub. Great buffet lunch and warm welcome

The Red Lion is a lovely place to go to! The staff were friendly and welcoming. The pub is well decorated and very stylish. The food was delicious and tasty and the portions were great too! The wait was quite long but it was definitely worth it! I would definitely go back for lunch/ dinner.

I booked at The Red Lion Coleshill but got mixed up and ended up at The Red Lion in Little Missendon, just 2 miles away. The staff at The Red Lion Coleshill were very kind and understanding about the whole thing. I look forward to visiting properly soon. Thank you!

Staff were friendly, the sun was shining and the pub looked lovely, inside and out! Didn't try try the food but will come back and try.

My wife and I have been to some incredibley expensive michelin star restaurants and experienced disappointment each time. We found The Red Lion and have experienced nothing but amazing food, service and ambience. It is our go to resturant and as we call it "our happy place" Thank you to The Red Lion team. We love you Rodger 👊👊👊👊👊

The Red Lion provided a wonderful venue for my father's wake. The team there were helpful, attentive and efficient. Nothing was too much bother, the food was great and the service excellent. thank you for making a difficult day a little easier!

Lovely village pub, beautiful setting, amazing food, and really welcoming and attentive staff. Dog friendly, and really accommodating. Will definitely be back

Found this little gem by accident. Best food and service we've had in a while. Certainly recommend anyone try this place. The staff were great too and their recommendations were spot on. We'll be back.

Awesome. Superb food and fantastic service. I just wish we could have stayed longer but we had an appointment.

We were in the area and popped in for some lunch, just found it on Google and decided to try it. What a lovely find! Such a lovely place, so friendly. Food was beautifully presented and all freshly made. I had the Goats Cheese and Red onion Tart (one of the nicest I've ever had) it was just delicious, and my partner had the pie of the day. We were having such a lovely time we even stayed for dessert, I would absolutely recommend! Thanks so much for a lovely afternoon Red Lion.

Lovely pub and great food. Staff very helpful. Will definitely be back.

Great food, great beer. Great staff!

Been here several times...fantastic for either an evening out for drinks or food or a Sunday roast with the kids. They are very patient with the multiple requests to get the kids comfortable. Service is fast and personal and the food is delicious. Definitely worth a visit!

Excellent Lunch. Quick service friendly service in this relaxed pub.

Lovely people and great food and service. Dog friendly proper local with a fantastic menu. We love it

Amazing little pub. Quintessential English pub with a warm and welcoming vibe, feels like a comfy living room. Incredible food! I had the venison pie, which was delicious and my husband had the best pork belly ever. Very friendly staff who coped brilliantly with our noisy family gathering.

Always a warm welcome; 18 hungry walkers this time. Wide selection of beers, lagers and ciders on draught. Lovely wide selection of food on offer.

Great place food excellent,service too.

Very welcoming and bloody good food / drinks! Gorgeous family run British pub! My favourite in the area! Cant wait to come back 🍻🍖👌 My go to after dog walking spot and the perfect dinner and drinks place!

Well organised and food was good.

Great pub, had a great night in the bar with Barney and went back for a superb Sunday roast with the family. Will definitely be going back.

Really great. Staff very helpful and friendly. Food good and different from the normal 😋. Only downside was a lack of choice in the ales 🍺. Looking forward to next visit.

Nice atmosphere, excellent food to choose from, well worth a visit.
