I reserved tables for 25 people for my daughter's 16th Birthday on Saturday evening and it was managed brilliantly. Having given a pre-order, the food came out in a timely manner and everyone enjoyed their meals. I would like to say how great our waitress, Paige was. She looked after our party very well and ensured we had a great experience.

Decent pub. Has nice beer garden. Food is what you could expect from pub chain, not too bad, but neither finesse. Definitely worth a visit during sunny days for a pint and some side dishes.

Came in for dinner with my family this evening and the staff were so miserable and not friendly. Chatting behind the bar the whole time which made it hard to get their attention even with us being one of the very few people in there. We ended up helping ourselves to sauces and had to go to the bar to ask to pay Ordered a chicken combo and the chicken was hard and very dry - I would have mentioned but no one came over to our table. Standard seems to have gone down hill each time we go there. Wouldn’t return now

Had a really nice traditional Christmas dinner in the Red Lion at Hatfield. Very tasty with a tender turkey and freshly cooked veg. Much nicer than the ‘nouveau cuisine’ festive meal we had last year at McMullens’ Salisbury Arms in Hertford. At least the Red Lion served veg you could actually see compared with the one sprout and a suggestion of carrot and hint of parsnip at the Salisbury! Great atmosphere, service and beer (Boot Warmer). Good Christmas pud as well.

Had a really nice meal here yesterday. Service was excellent, friendly staff who responded to our request for a quick meal, as we had an appointment afterwards. My wife and sister-in-law had the chicken skewers & said they were very tasty and the chicken was nice and moist. My brother- in-law had scampi which was cooked well and my steak and ale pie was excellent, very tasty, lots of meat and lovely gravy. Restaurant was busy, always a good sign and would certainly recommend it.

Last minute decision to go again to the Red Lion. Greeted warmly at the desk and shown to table very quickly. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was delicious and hot. I had Hunters Chicken and wife had Turkey roast dinner. Best Hunters chicken had for a very long time. Turkey was nice just a bit too thick in the cutting side but other wise fantastic. Followed up with waffle, ice cream and cranberry as part of the 2 course meal. This was shared and just enough after wonderful dinner. Cannot recommend highly enough.

I have visited this pub a many times over the years, but the last visit was really disappointing. Since the refurbishment they have added more tables and it is far too cramped and squashed in. They've put tables along the walk way and in front of the fireplace and it is just too much and too close. We were shoved into a cramped space even though we had booked a few days before. It just doesn't work. There seemed to be a less crowded place to the left and right as you walk in with hardly anyone seated. I'm not sure why this space was not utilised. You used to be able to walk in and pick your seat in a more spacious area. I went for a Sunday roast yesterday with my family and my food came out cold apart from the vegetables. I told the waitress almost immediately upon receiving our dinner, she was very apologetic and offered to heat it up. About 2 minutes later it came out lukewarm after it had been zapped in the microwave and my Yorkshire pudding was soft and ruined. I ordered the light version and there was hardly any meat. It was extra, extra light. The roast potatoes were hard and so was the cauliflower cheese. The waitress asked how our meals were afterwards and we said as well as it being cold the roast potatoes were too hard. We were told we should have said sooner even though I had ready had to send my food back for being too cold. We also saw other people sending back their food due to it being cold. The waiting staff were very polite but didn't offer any reduction for cold food which I did complain about during the meal. We were only told that the kitchen would receive our "feedback". We saw the manager asking what was wrong as my roast dinner was taken back to be put in the microwave. We received a dirty side look from the manager a few moment later. The Eton mess also had hardly any crushed meringue. It was mainly ice cream and overpriced. Disappointing. Overall it was very disappointing. I used to really like this pub and have visited on many occasions at various times over the years for lunch and dinner, but I will have second thoughts about doing so in the future. It's another pub ruined due to trying to squeeze in too many tables and people. A cold Sunday roast with hard potatoes is not a good thing.

The food was delicious and a good portion! We received a great service here even though I was just booked a place, no food or drink were included in our booking, but we, of course, ordered food and drinks.

Visited with friend both ordered fish and chips - asked for the small portion (as we both thought a larger portion to much at lunchtime) to be told they only do a small portion with scampi. Other McMullen pubs offer small fish & chips so I suspect they are catering to to local business' so do not offer the small portion. That policy needs t change. When our food arrived my friends looked nice but mine was clelarly overcooked/burnt. Who knows it may even have been recooked/heated. On opening the fish up it was awful with hardly any fish inside. When I brought this to the attention of the waitress she agreed and changed it without quibble. They must have known the fish was not up to standrad so why serve it? They quickly brought a fresh piece of fish which was very nice however there were very few fries on both my plate and my friends and what there where were very minute. There was no choice on chips and it only came with fries. Again McMullens need to change this. The staff were very nice. At £16 for this meal it was not value for money conseuently I will not be going there again as it was over priced for what it was.

Had a Sunday roast rotisserie chicken, my friend had hunters chicken... Not too long a wait, so that was a plus... But server was not particularly engaging, can understand being NYE that you might not want to be working but service with a genuine smile isn't much to ask. Anyway we didn't get a smile but was told we could walk over and get our cutlery ourselves (even though I'd watched another server get cutlery for their customers and were smiley). Anyway, my roast was great portions, looked good but was barely warm, bordering on cold. The Hunters Chicken was hot but pretty much a junior size and looked pathetically presented in the skillet. Not one of the best meals I've had in a McMullen pub.

I had a very disagreeable experience at the Red Lion. We booked a Christmas meal weeks ahead but when we arrived we were seated at a makeshift table. I’m disabled and before our food was served, I told several staff that I was very uncomfortable where we were and asked if we could sit at one of the other (normal) empty tables. My polite request was rejected every time. As we had already prepaid our meal, we decided to stay. But the food was as bad as the service. The meat was dry, the bread stale and whilst my wife’s soup was thick, mine was absolutely watery and tasted of dishwater! And it was so loud! Despite all of this they forced a 10% tip on us, on an already overpriced meal! There are plenty of nice pubs in Hatfield, don’t waste your time at the Red Lion!

My wife and I went to red lion for Christmas dinner mid afternoon on Sunday. It was really busy. We were met and greeted immediately and after a quick drink at the bar we were seated. There were place names on the table with details of our pre orders. A great idea especially if you can't remember what a party member ordered. Table was festively decorated and already had appropriate sauces etc on the table. After a short time to get settled first course arrived. Very generous prawn Cocktail. Pleasant service and check back. Main meal was just as generous and fulfilling. Turkey was moist, veg was cooked well. The cheese and biscuits had a good variety of cheeses and biscuits served with grapes. Was always asked if we needed anything else when courses served. I had initially been a little concerned about service and wait times because a party of 42 had been seated before us. There was no need to worry at all. The team had everything under control. Well done team Red Lion. The pub has also recently been refurb and and it looks very good. I also noticed that the regular menu was also available, a good reflection on the kitchen. All in all a really pleasant afternoon celebrating Christmas at the red lion. Expect a return visit.

An absolute gem in old Hatfield. Beautiful proper pub. Darts. Juke box. Board games. Log fire. Dog friendly. Mark is so warm and welcoming. Really is the jewel in the crown. So lucky to have this as my local. Can’t recommend enough. Occasionally have live music. The bands are outstanding.

We are a regular customer as the staff are great, and the food has a good variety - not the usual "pub" food. Decent selection of everyday wines.
