The Red Lion in Wellingborough

We have visited here a couple of times for afternoon drinks, and on both occasions, we have received a lovely, warm welcome from the landlady, Jo. We will be back to eat next time, as the food selection looks delicious. Its good to know that takeaway is also available. The Red Lion, is a real asset to Bozeat and we look forward to our next visit Thanks Again.😊

Lovely local village pub. We have been several times, and recently nine of us had a birthday meal. The food was fantastic and staff friendly.

Popped in as we happened to be local and needed a quick lunch. Brilliantly welcoming landlady, decent sausage and mash with mustard gravy and a well kept pint of Timothy Taylor's Landlord for about £15. Wish it was in our village! Chatted to the landlady, whose grandparents had the pub in the late seventies/early eighties, so she has a real passion for the place as well as it being her business. Impressive menu for a small village pub, will definitely come back.

Me and a pal dropped in for a pint and a plate of sausage and mash each. We'd been to collect his motorcycle from Cooperb, which is two minutes away. We were made to feel very welcome, not least by Reggie the dog. Enjoyed a decent pint of Landlord and a grand lunch. The place is warm, inviting and clean.

The landlady is the most polite and welcoming person I’ve known at this pub. She has made it the hub community again, which is what the village needed.

Camembert expensive at £17.50 especially when additional bread was an extra cost. Service slow considering its 5pm. Pork bap nice but cracking inedible.

Food is always so delicious at the red lion, service is quick and top notch, couldn't fault it..thanks to all the team 🙏💜

The Red lion hosted our engagement party on sat 4th May. The buffet that was provided for the party was amazing and the decorations looked fantastic. The landlady and staff were so accommodating a fun day and night was had by everyone. Thank you for making our special day a perfect memory

My local, very welcoming pub! Jo Jo and her team do a fantastic job. Keep up the good work, great pint and awesome food 👍👍

Enjoyed our visit great lunch time experience very friendly staff and customers. Very clean and and appears to have good standard of hygiene well kept. Definitely recommend this pub it doesn't pretend to be anything but a good local pub,Bozeat in lucky to have this facility. Dog friendly. Family friendly.

We had a lovely lunch at the Red Lion today with friends. There was a nice Vegetarian Wellington on the menu usually for Sunday roasts but the lady was so obliging and offered that for today (Tuesday), I’m so glad she did it was extremely good. Would not hesitate to recommend this, and hopefully we’ll go back soon.

Prebooked a table for 10 for Mother’s Day we got there & ordered starter came for 1 person 10 minutes later main came out roast potatoes was uncooked beef u couldn’t even cut with a knife let alone chew it still waiting for rest of family starters when finally came another starter it was cold then my mother’s starter came Luke warm then my sister got her starter again at first landlady was apologetic refunded me for my main meal then my mother main come again undercooked food she couldn’t even eat which she rightly refunded kids meals came she slung them down the table with the chips falling of the plate swearing while doing this how rude but we persevered then we waited over an hour for our desserts to come out which was slammed on the table although the dessert was nice that’s y I gave the 1 star but as for the food and staff rude I do not recommend this place

Brilliant home cooked Sunday roast, meat was spot on and all the trimmings. Meal for 2 and a bottle of wine for under £50, what’s not to love?!

Went to see a band call 8'foot under the band was really good but poor attendance so no atmosphere which was a shame

Forgot to take pictures of the main but the food was unreal. Great food and great service !

Food was excellent well cooked and prepared staff gave a very warm welcome

The lady at the bar was absolutely brilliant, she was very busy yet didn't stop to keep un eye us in the dinner area while multitasking and smiling continously. Will defo be back.

I had the pie and mash main meal and it was one of the best pies I’ve had no exaggeration. Desert was a tower of a biscoff sundae. Service was brilliant aswell.

I highly recommend the Red Lion. Great pub, Great food, Great staff and always a warm friendly welcoming!

Absolutely amazing. Pub is great and the lady came over and said she would put the oven on for me and made me a bbq chicken pizza to have and take home. Drinks amazing and pizza was banging. I’ll go back 100%

Had some pizzas from the red lion in Bozeat tonight, and I have to say they are excellent. Well done to Jo and served with a beautiful smile made my birthday thankyou xx

Great place to drop into for a drink. Good atmosphere.

5 of us had lunch and the food and service were both really good Its been quite a while since we last ate here but we will be back. Very quite at lunch time mid week.

Lovely pub :) amazing food!! Good service.. will definitely be back for more soon

Great village pub meat raffle bingo live music food and good beers

Good atmosphere and friendly people.

Always a pleasure and food is lovely. Service with a smile. Great atmosphere

Had a great afternoon in the pub, for Halloween kids party

Great pub, great atmosphere, great staff. definitely recommend a good welcoming pint in there.

Great pub, fantastic host, great drinks, lovely garden.. I could go on and on... Highly recommended

Great little village pub, fantastic atmosphere, has a lovely selection of beers and spirits and a Pool table, The land lady is so so nice, really makes you feel welcome and it’s not overpriced like most village pubs.

I went in for a Guinness and it was fantastic, very relaxing atmosphere would recommend all day long I am originally from the Northern Ireland it was like the good old days

Popped in for a couple of 'monday' pints. Lovely pint and very friendly atmosphere. Definitely will be back

Not too friendly an atmosphere, used to be English pubs were. Now, big TV screens take up any space and folks are watching sports. Didn't have any food. Visiting from USA and grew up in Wellingborough so it was a shock

Great village pub. Very friendly and welcoming.

Great village pub, this place is a real asset to Bozeat. The new landlady is doing a brilliant job making sure the beer is always in great condition. Also making a big effort to involve as many customers as possible with various teams such as pool and darts. Board games and garden games are available. There is also a weekly fresh meat raffle on Sundays and a bingo evening on the last Tuesday of the month with great cash prizes. I would definitely recommend that you support this lovely pub.

Great atmosphere. Jo is a lovely friendly landlady. Beer is always great.

Absolutely amazing local pub with brilliant staff and excellent land lady. Such a friendly pub with band night's, meat raffle, large garden with game's for the children. Great beer and a large selection of drinks.

Always love a good local pub. Great choice of beers and spirits (and shots 👌) Wide selection of bands to suit all tastes Pool table and late night service at the weekends Meat raffle once a week Great please to enjoy ba beer garden too!

Great new landlady! Really friendly and welcoming, does everything for everyone and goes above and beyond for everyone who comes in the pub. Great pub for everyone, always something on and kids have lots to do!

The land lady is a right piece of work. Disgusting

Great friendly little pub plus entertainment on regularly

Only been to the Red Lion a few times, it has a nice local feel and the food is good.

Full of old school buddies and even took my scottish notes with no problem 😊

Great nite with a really good band

Staff friendly and welcoming. Food excellent

Bit rough. Won't be going back.

Good beer, showed rugby!! Be back again. Friendly staff, and welcome smile, makes it just like an old fashioned pub!!! Good burgers as well. Good choice of real ales!!!!

Great clean pub, very friendly and warm welcome

First time in since new Landlords took over. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. Very welcoming. Will definitely be back.☺️🍺

Busy friendly local, beers reasonably priced and kept well

Sadly, I had to stop going to the only pub in my village. Previous licencees were forced out & the current climate inside feels unwelcoming. A lot of mud-slinging going on the last time I was there, so decided I didnt want to hear it on every visit. Such a pity.

No covid nonsense. Like how pubs should be, just walk in get a drink and sit down. Like old times.

The disgusting smell of bleach is very off-putting. I suggest changing brand to one that is odourless. It is overpowering and makes it difficult to enjoy a pint inside the pub. Luckily for us we have been able to use the outside areas but now that the weather is changing...

Terrible experience with the landlord swinging his big ego around, avoid this silly village boy

Absolute pathetic landlord, The most petty strange looking man I've ever met in a pub. Don't waste your time with this very definition of a backward village local

Just had the best Sunday dinner I've had in years! Will definitely be visiting again x

Friendly staff and landlord. Good food for a decent price.

Loved the seating outside in good weather quality service, was just wonderful.

Cheerful, helpful staff, about 6 of whom spoke to us through the evening, all keen to help! The mixed grill was very good value, cheapest pub meal we've had for at least 10 years. Lovely apple pie for dessert.

New landlords, amazing atmosphere and so welcoming and family friendly. Food quality is fantastic, huge portions and super reasonable prices! A wonderful experience for the whole family

Took the whole family down (3 boys and my partner) and the food was lovely... the boys had a three course meal for like £4.95 each and loved it. Service was welcoming and friendly, and John and Beth (new landlord / landlady) could not have been more accomodating. Very family friendly and reasonably priced....

The pub has just started food again, under new management. Our family ate here on Sunday. The food is good, honest pub grub and very good value for money. All six of our meals were spot on! The service was excellent, very attentive and welcoming. We will definitely be returning soon

Lovely pub, great landlord and landlady very friendly

The pub signage claims they serve tea and coffee. They don't. They can't get the coffee machine to work. There are intrusive roadworks currently underway that make the forecourt (pictured) a dangerous place to pull up. When my ninety-five year old father and I pulled up and I went in to order we were told the coffee machine wasn't working. So, the barmaid took our order for a white wine instead. When I asked what beers they had she demanded we put on masks. Both of us are exempt. We were going to sit outside anyway. Evidently, this pub forces customers to wear masks even when they're outside! We were so appalled by her rude, dictatorial attitude that we made straight for the car to leave. Given that my dad is 95, we had to make our way back across the forecourt to the car quite carefully. We couldn't believe it when - not content with the upset she had already caused by refusing to serve us - the barmaid then came out on to the forecourt as we were driving away to wave us goodbye! It beggars belief that this pub pretends to be engaged in the hospitality industry. We were utterly disgusted and would advise everyone to drive straight past and give this outlet a wide berth.

Great venue, we were well looked after

Good traditional pub with a nice garden

My family and I have just got back from this very friendly local pub. We decided to try our local pub for a meal and we are so glad we did. From the moment we arrived, the staff were so accommodating, friendly and helpful. Everything we ordered was tasty and of a very high standard. I have to give an extra thumbs up for the homemade steak and ale pie I had. Not only did it taste great but I was genuinely shocked by the amount of meat and the quality of the meat inside the pie. I cannot recommend this pub more highly. Please make the effort to try this pub. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Felt safe. All the plans that have been put in were really good. We eat here a few days ago and again we felt safe. The tables were clean hand sanitizer at door and inside by the bar. Name and phone number had to be written down. We will definitely be visiting here more often.

Nice pub grub, hand written menu, no prices. But pleasant enough service in current climate. Pub quite boisterous whilst football shown on several TV's.

The Red Lion is pleasant and friendly, though without any particular character or charm to make it a place I would go out of my way to frequent. Its strongest point is the range of beers, with 3 real ales on tap. When I was in, there was the ordinary but drinkable Greene King IPA, Timothy Taylor's Landlord (which is very popular with ale drinkers) and my personal favourite - Adnams Broadside. So worth a stop if you happen to be in Bozeat.

i visited last Wednesday lunch time with my wife and friends. We are all over 65. It was the first time my wife and I had visited and we were delighted to find a really nice, clean traditional pub with a very pleasant ambience. Service was warm and friendly and the food was really good. Three of us had fish and chips followed by a wonderful apple and blackberry crumble with custard. One person had a very impressive looking and tasty macaroni cheese. It was all excellent quality and amazing value at just £6 per head (plus drinks). We'll be back.

Nice village pub with friendly bar staff. Stopped for some coffee.and food midday. Coffee fine, but no food available.

An excellent village pub. Dog's welcome in the bar, but not the lounge which is fine. Super atmosphere and service. Lounge bar in very good order and food appears to be thoroughly enjoyed by those who are dining. Simple and proper pub grub. If you are seeking gourmet food... Keep travelling to Olney only a few miles away...

Visited first time forlunch.. excellent value.. good range of beers Recommended but ring for lunchtime special offerd6

Had lunch in the red lion today, main course and pudding, meal was average, the pudding was lovely, great portion size, service, 5/10

Really lovely village pub really nice staff, and great food would definitely reccomend

Nice quiet place good food good friendly people

Excellent pub, stopped there for lunch, pity its not my local!

Whilst working outside a customer came over to us and started to be very rude, aggressive and obnoxious!

A little tired could do with redecorating but the staff were friendly and the food good

Awesome night with loads of people in fancy dress. Really tasty hog roast supplied & cooked by one of the locals, Friendly faces, a disco & a few drinks. Marilyn, Simon & the regulars doing what the Red Lion does best - having a cracking time!

Nice quiet village pub. Food is as you would expect for pub food. Drinks are not too pricey

Very basic menu not much choice We went elsewhere the next couple of nights we were in the area

Had cod, chips & mushies served with tartare sauce. Lovely crispy batter on the fish, perfectly cooked chips & old-style mushy peas. Piping hot & served with a smile. Perfect!

Hot fresh food served to about 25 of us today. New chef so well done!

Fantastic atmosphere, great staff and smashing beer.

Clean place with a seating area out front and a garden out back, good choice of drinks only thing that let's it down is that it doesn't do food, although they are currently looking to recruit a chef

Welcoming atmosphere... Friendly and approachable staff /manager... Unfortunately does not do food at moment..when do will be the complete package.....

I love my Sunday afternoons their and my wednesday night with Lynne can't think of anywhere better.

Great pub. What can i say? Everyone freindly. Bar staff great. Recomnend the food and Woodfordes Wherry👍we will be back! X

This place isn’t gastro pub but you can get a really good meal at a very decent price. It’s good value for money. Very old school pub vibe but that is what is nice about it. The only fault worth mentioning is that the meat was pretty tough for the Sunday dinner (not inedible but definitely overlooked). Other than that we had a nice family meal.

Popped in on 09/03 & decided to have a bit of lunch. Chose the Hunters Chicken which arrived piping hot & was served with chips & salad - nicely portioned & hit the spot perfectly. A couple of fruity ciders from the current promotion went perfectly with the food. Great welcome, friendly faces & nice place to while away an hour or two. The pub also holds regular quizzes, meat raffles & themed disco nights. Live bands also play on a regular basis. I take great exception to MKsun of Milton Keynes calling us "rowdy locals" & if that is your opinion of a friendly village pub then your statement of "visitors are not welcome at all" certainly applies to you. Perhaps you should call in again, the pub is under new management (since May 2017) & is back to being the heart of the village with its unique character (and characters) - you never know, you might enjoy the company of us rowdy village folk.

Great to see the village using it's asset x

Not a bad place at all. Not as.pled food as was there to see a band who were brilliant.

Great local pub at the heart of the Village!

Needed to stop off for a break on a drive north from Brighton, and came to the Red Lion. Lovely pub, very friendly, really good beer. Will certainly visit again.

Good pint of the black stuff. ;-)

Went for lunch with a friend. Website was good. We had lunch which was 2 for £12. We both chose steak and ale pie. Wow. It was amazing. The staff were so friendly and always available and nothing was to much trouble. I will definitely be back. Thank you.

Waited 1.5hours for mains. When finished my kids wanted desert. Told the kitchen was closed!! Apparently they had been busy didn't look busy to us. You'd think with delay like that we'd be able to keep the kitchen open a bit longer.
