Used to frequent here regularly but moved away. Visited recently and was just a good as before. Excellent choice of well kept beer and lovely atmosphere.

Excellent local pub. Best pizzas in Bromley and only £10 for a large. Beer best without compare. Deserves more clients during week . Tax on beer killing local pubs.

What a cracking pub, this is what a local should be like. Set in a side street, nice and clean with real locals, proper landlord and 5 real ales pumps, just excellent.

Still the same excellent, unspoilt pub. The sort of place you can go for a chat or just have a drink and read a Limited to pizzas now in the food line but they're very good.

Whenever I'm in Bromley I visit the Red Lion with my wife in the early evening and relax with a cold cider. The outdoor area is always beautifully decorated with lots of flower plants. See you next time!

Return visit to this great pub after more than thirty five years. Not much has changed in the intervening time, the beer's still served bright and it's bar service with a smile. Long may that continue!

What an absolute gem of a pub. Like stepping into a classic boozer in central London. The land couple are absolutely fantastic. Pizza was better than most you’d get in the high street. I’d make this my local if it wasn’t a short cab fare away.

Been a while since we visited. And was asked to be quiet. Very strange for a pub maybe a library but not a pub. So we left. Used to be one of my favourites around the area. We used to visit them all but this is now off the list which is unfortunate.

Very good pub in a quiet back street not far from Bromley North Station and the town centre. Five cask beers on handpump when I visited. A few tables outside at the front. The friendly locals pub offers a pizza menu and well kept real ales.

Back in the very early 1970s, I used to live in nearby Palace Road. We called the area The Golden Square, simply because we had The White Horse, The Anglesea Arms, The Freelands Tavern, The Crown and Anchor and The Red Lion...all within a 5 minute walk of each other. It was a truly wonderful time to live in, what was basically a village within a town. A Friday night could be spent visiting all 5 pubs and you knew that each would offer something unique to your evening. It's been many a year since I left the area, but I returned to The Red Lion on Saturday and it was like stepping back to those heady days of the early 1970s. Quite amazingly the present owners have been there for 30 years...which is testament to their business and the pull of this wonderful 'village' pub. Great beers and ales, friendly and welcoming owners and staff... and even the locals no longer bite!!! Highly recommended.

Often voted the best kept beer in Bromley. 3 regular ales and 2 guest ales every week .. plenty of outdoor seating and food (including freshly made pizza) served throughout the day. Very friendly and welcoming Still the same, excellent beers, always kept impeccably and a great pub for those well deserved refreshments Is there any more to add? Only the fact the Lion has been managed by Chris and Siobhan for 30 years and the reputation they have created is still there... Certainly one of, if not THE best kept and presented ale in the locality

Highly unpleasant experience at the Red Lion last night. Part of a group that came in for drinks. The boys were playing darts, joined by one girl. A short stocky woman (don't know if she was the landlady) came and told the girl playing darts to mind her language. She then said if she was a bloke, then swearing would be ok, just not coming from a female. Locals looked at us when we walked in, made us feel very unwelcome. Unpleasant, unfriendly pub, would not recommend at all.

A Very Good Pub - providing outstanding hospitality for local residents and visitors alike . The beers are particularly refreshing. Service is friendly and prompt. If you are feeling a little peckish try the Cheeseburger and Chips or a Lion-Share fry up! Why in the name of Sweet Lord Jesus the landlords are not marketing this fine establishment as a Gastro-Pub is mind boggling beyond the realms of comprehension.

Visited for brunch on Sunday and the Turkish breakfast feast was absolutely delicious and plentiful for 4 adults and a 3 year old. Highly recommended. While we were there, there was a small film production shoot going on which was wonderful to observe and my daughter was invited to be a part of since it is her area of study. A unique and pleasant place to to visit and have some lovely food. We will definitely be visiting again for a delicious breakfast/lunch.

We had a perfect half Lobster with delicious sauce and huge yummy Dover Soles with garlic butter, was so surprising good. And don’t forget the King Prawns as main course. Everything for reasonable prices. We loved it especially because we had Tam as a waiter. He was so charming and recommend the best for us. Thanks for that awesome Dinner !

Pros - Nice ambience. - As we were the only family, they accepted our request to change the songs playing. - I had got my own cake for my Uncle as he doesn't eat sugar. they decorated the cake well. and got it with candles. CONs - We went here to celebrate on a Monday, I am a vegetarian , and Indian. We ordered Paneer Shashlik, and Gujrati Veg biryani for dinner. The food was horrible. It has no flavours , no salt. I assumed it would be a marinated Paneer. They served us 3 thin slices of paneer, with one piece of tomato, pepper and onion. Nothing was marinated. It was just grilled with oil. Then Biryani was another disaster. It was the worst Biryani I have ever had. It had no flavour, just salt, though they said it was medium spicy. They had put big big pieces of Ginger, unfortunately first 3 bytes I had the 3 pieces. We literally went hungry home. Chips we ordered for my daughter was the only good dish. Some family members ordered non veg food, it was equally horrible. No taste at all. If you are an Indian, avoid this place. You will be disappointed as its all catered for British taste. and it has no flavours.
