The Red Lion in Surrey Heath

Very convenient for the M3. Very friendly, helpful staff, parking and a varied pub menu with home cooked classics. Decor and atmosphere a bit dated, and it is certainly not a gastro-pub (and probably proud of it!) but it is an honest, friendly place to meet up when travelling, and we will probably visit again.

Lovely local friendly pub, good beer, good food, friendly staff, Highly recommended

A group of friends meet here once a month to share our interest in flying model aeroplanes.Can,t think of a better place to be.Thankyou.

Our party of 8 adults and 2 children were seated comfortably in the conservatory for lunch. The menu was extensive with something for everyone. The food was timely, well presented and exceeded our expectations in volume quality and taste. We would not hesitate to recommend this pub fare as well worth a visit.

Food is delicious. Great service

Lovely food and a lovely refreshing ice cold pint of lager

Great food service and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend it and will definitely be going back.😊😊

Visited yesterday for a big family lunch, the staff are so nice and the food was lovely. Will definitely be returning. Thankyou 😊

Great food, great service, great price and a brilliant pub 10/10 recommended

A "locals pub". The atmosphere was good, a few kids running around. I had the Chilli Con Carne and some of the rice was still frozen.

The worst pub food I ever had anywhere! I went for a quick drink and something to eat, no menu only a blackboard . I asked can I have a burger? Sir we don’t do burgers was the reply. You what? So I ordered gammon steak which took in excess of half an hour to arrive. Cheap frozen chips, over cooked peas and the gammon was awful, not even properly cooked. The chips had black but in them, salad was a joke. Also the glass of wine at 11.60 was severely overpriced and very poor quality. I used to be a regular but this place is now shocking

Nice pub but opening times aren’t accurate. We went on a Sunday evening 5:30 and only had one drink and they said it was shutting at 6 but website says 10:30? We were very disappointed after walking over 20 minutes to get there.

If you're a tourist do not go they only welcome locals. I do not recommend at all. Hirhehshshssjsjsjsjjsshsnnsnssnsnsnsns

Too many screaming kids. Not ideal when you are out for a pint

Food was lovely very friendly staff

Fml - such a great location but lifeless - honestly upset had hopes was going to be ok and welcoming . . .

Really nice pub. Went for a walk around lightwater park then stopped for a bite to eat. The lasagne was great and the veg and potatoes lovely, would definitely come again

Lovely friendly atmosphere great bar staff up for a laugh.

A really nice village pub with a very good selection of beers, larger's and other drinks available.

Lovely roast and the service was second to none I fail to understand the negative reviews on the food or service this is my second visit and I'll be back again

Love little pub with indoor and outdoor eating. Fair pricing and good home cooked food.

A lovely traditional pub serving excellent home cooked food. Spacious with a lovely large garden. Friendly and welcoming owners and staff. A truly special find, somewhere we now go regularly and the puddings always hit the spot!

The Red Lion This is a must on any one’s visiting list The home made food is amazing, well I have traveled the world and not beaten it yet Mr & Mrs Bell and family certainly go the extra mile to make you smile Make sure you Visit this gem of a pub You won’t be disappointed in any way

A traditional English pub, friendly staff with above average pub food on offer as well as a good range of beers. My family and I will certainly be visiting again.

Had an awful experience. Food was absolutely disgusting. Toilets smelt like public toilets felt like I was going to be sick as soon as I walked in the smell basically smacked me in the face. Table was sticky and felt like it hadn’t been cleaned in weeks. Service was terrible

Quiet and old fashioned - unfortunately this pub has failed to update & keep with the times. Whilst it may be perfect for locals, it offers very little to a visitor. It has a limited range of standard drinks, no craft beers that I could see & although the menu has a wide range of diverse hot & cold food (served until 2pm at lunchtime) there was nothing exciting. The redeeming feature is the outside space that has a raised sundeck & a secluded garden with seating & play area for kids.

Good honest food at good honest prices. Owners really lovely people.

Called here today visiting relatives, a bit of an unknown quantity for them as well as us, and they live here, clean welcoming pub, attentive staff, very helpful, meals ordered were the gammon egg and chips, ham eggs and chips and Guiness and beef pie with mushroom. All three meals were excellent, to be fair it's hard to cock up Gammon, the Ham was well cooked moist and tasty, the eggs were perfect, just that slight browning underneath that adds flavour. The Guiness pie was packed with flavour and not too much pastry, which was delicious, all served with a pointless salad dressing, but this is the norm. Chips were good, and not piled high.Good value as well at £88 for five meals and six drinks.. Pub was nice and warm on a cold day, two tv's showing football, but volume off so it didn't interfere.. Lets be fair this is a great little local pub turning out great food, or two local visitors were so impressed they promptly booked sunday lunch for the following day! Close to the M3 an ideal place to stop away from bloody awful services

Nice dog friendly pub with good food

We had a fabulous Sunday Lunch. Excellent value and a good choice. The roast pork was plentiful and extremely tasty, great gravy and an extra gravy boat to add if needed. I would recommend the cheese and biscuits with grapes and celery but if you have a sweet tooth the sticky toffee pudding it apple crumble. This is by far my favourite place to eat not only because of the food but the service and atmosphere. I highly recommend you book a table.

Had lunch here today with my 10 cycling friends and the efficiency of the professional service was impeccable and very good quality of sandwiches way above average pub fare. Lovely conservatory at back. Will go again.

Extremely friendly and welcoming staff. A reall family pub. I went for lunch with a group of cyclists and we were all able to sit in the conservatory. The sandwiches were enormous and excellent and the service was wonderful

Friday lunchtime lunch for 3. Pleasant and helpful staff, and a nice choice of food on the menu, served nicely. The prices were good, too It's nice to support a free house run by a family. I wish I lived closer so I could visit more often.

Lovely garden and very welcoming staff, served by Ryan lovely guy 👍 highly recommend 👍👍

A very welcoming pub and nicely laid out. Everyone was enjoying a pint or a meal. Definitely worth another visit

Decent size garden with kids play area. Steep steps to get down to it though. Staff are really friendly

What a let down. Poor food, three out of five of our guests eating did not enjoy the so called home cooked food. My pate was insipid in colour, very cold as if just taken out of the fridge and solid to cut, no taste not even sure what pate it was as it did not tell you on menu. Chilli con carne came like tomato clear sauce and hardly any mince to be seen and tastless again. One strawberry on a tiny meringue with small scoop of ice cream so please call it one strawberry on ice cream but definitely not call it strawberries and ice cream. Horrible conservatory with decor out of the dark ages, every plant and the flower on the table is plastic to match the plastic table cloth and plastic place mats. Room had empty wine bottles around as some sort of decoration again in the dark ages. Asked for a sherry it came in a big wine glass . Loked ridiculous could found a smaller tumbler. Waiter was just ok with no enthusiasm about his job, I think he feels the same as the customers depressed when entering this pub. This is me being polite as there was plenty more to comment on .

Lovely, friendly & helpful staff. Popped in for lunch to meet up with my brother & pass over our mother to him for the weekend. Really enjoyed it (as did all). Definitely recommended 👍

stopped for lunch on the way to Bracknell.. lots of choice on the lunch menu the food was fantastic.. The staff were very friendly and nothing was a problem.. Good beer and food what more can you ask for..👍

Friendly staff with great menu and service. The seating area outside is a delight for people watching. Thanks guys.

We visited the pub, 4 adults and 5 children and were shown to a table on the balcony overlooking the garden which was very nice. The children played in the garden, there are several things to amuse the kids, whilst we waited for our meals to arrive. All our meals were good and the service outstanding, the lady who served us was very friendly and couldn't do enough for us.

Wonderful pub, beautiful garden, great food, and the staff are lovely. Also a great couple Jason and Kerri who run it. Highly recommended.

Very friendly staff and very good food!

It's a pub, a proper pub. Couple of TV's showing sports, home cooked food and a nice garden with a small play area for children. Very friendly staff and family friendly

We had lovely time fab food and lovely staff x

Really friendly bar staff.good beer.

Popped in for Pub unch with some friends on the way to Bournemouth fantastic welcome fantastic beer fantastic food. Loads of choices off the menu- very attentive staff. Kerri great comms on booking - will be back

Awesome experience from start to finish, special shout out to Ronnie and Ryan for providing such personable service. Lovely meal, and good pint, thoroughly recommend!

Friendly pub, friendly organised used manager. Hassle free drink during Covid.

Really friendly little pub good food and great beer and the staff where all brilliant and welcoming

Today’s meal was, as always, excellent food, with friendly attentive staff, and good Covid precautions. Roast had 5 vegetables and all trimmings, and all at a reasonable price. Good choice of food and table service, inside or outside.

Had a lovely food last night, all social distancing rules being carefully followed.

A lovely local pub run by a very friendly family who have recently given both the pub and children's playground a makeover. Drinks have always been good, with plenty of choice on offer. Dog friendly with a large outside seating/garden area.

Good food and plenty of safe room.. recommended!

We called in for a drink as we had already eaten, we signed in for track and trace and sanitised our hands. Drinks were brought to the table by helpful and friendly staff, we would have stayed a little longer but the pub closed at 9pm due to the Covid 19 stuation

Great little find on our way down south. Excellent food and friendly service. One to remember.

We used the Red Lion for the first time yesterday as a half-way meeting place between Southampton and London. There were 4 of us and hadn't booked a table, but the staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. We had Steak Pie, Home-cooked Ham, Egg & Chips and a childrens Chicken Nuggets meal, plus desserts. Extremely quick service with well-cooked food. Will definitely be meeting there again.

A lovely pub with a wonderful atmosphere. The food is homemade and FRESHLY cooked by the landlady. Would 100% recommend a visit to the red lion...and the bar staff are pretty good too.

Excellent Sunday roast. Real classic "pub" atmosphere. My other half caught up with some friends from days gone by, felt welcomed by staff and other customers alike.

Friendly staff and great value Christmas meal in traditional public.

Very nice place and atmosphere helpful staff and the food is lovely very good for Christmas bookings

Ok if you like sports screens for crucial events. That said, there is a lovely large conservatory style restaurant and the food is very good and reasonable. Great for families or couples for lunch or dinner and in more clement weather the garden is comfortable and spacious. I have eaten at the Red Lion on a few occasions and would recommend the food, conservatory and garden: front bar good for Dads that like satellite sports beamed in! David M. Ascot

Had a 50th birthday party cancelled on us 8 days before the event despite trying to pay a deposit!! Poorly managed 👎

Great pub food at good prices. V friendly staff!

The bar staff are amazing...challenge anyone to find better! X

Friendly staff but pub and restaurant a bit tatty giving it the appearance of being grubby. I ate there with friends and 2 of us had vomiting and diarrhoea a couple of hours later

Only stopped in carpark to pick up my son so alas no comment as yet

Good food, nice drink selection, friendly staff, nice garden and plenty of TV sport!

Great place to eat, drink, chat and watch sport

This is such a gem of a local pub

This is the spot for our after office gathering. Nice and big bar with plenty of tables. There are outdoor seating and standing area as well for summer and smoker. It is a bar 1st and then the quick meal option, never had a meal here so comments on food but we enjoyed a quick serving of drinks.

Visited this pub to kill some time whilst in Lightwater. Visited during the day on a Thursday. I did read some of the Google reviews before going but there were so many positive I didn't have any reservations. I don't recognise the poor reviews from my experience there today. I've been to many pubs over the years and this one had a nice feel to it. Very relaxed and informal. Staff were all nice as were some of the patrons who seemed to be regulars. Few comfy old sofas as well as more typical seating. They had the cricket on (great for me) and also Golf and other sport on a different TV. Food was very good and tasty. Very prompt service too and, although they were quiet, sometimes pubs can take ages even then so every credit to them. Can't really fault the place so deserve 5 stars in my book!

Popped in for a drink and meet some old friends, nice afternoon.

Went here for Sunday lunch today. Great pub with proper home cooked food. Nice atmosphere and very friendly staff. Lovely garden out the back for the kids. Definitely worth a trip for a beer and food.

Great pub and eatery. Friendly, efficient staff, well run and good crowd of locals.

I live in Lightwater and have only been to this pub three times in 8 years(says it all). Always feel unwelcome. Typical- all the regulars turn and stare when you come in, sit round the bar so you bar to ‘intrude’ to order a drink. They have a cupboard of games for children and a huge climbing frame outside. However, I have found the landlord very rude about children in the pub even when they are playing quite nicely near our table. It’s fine for regulars children to run around and create havoc but not for our children to be with us. Went in one night close to last orders and the landlord was so rude to those trying to order that we left abruptly. Bearing in mind we all live locally, have been in before and could become his frequent custom. Could be a lovely pub but is old fashioned, managed by rude staff and if you are not a regular propping up the bar you feel awkward and uncomfortable. Recommend you head to Bagshot, Windlesham or Chobham if you are this way.

Went there for Mother's Day and football happened to be on at the time !!!! Very nice meal and football was enjoyed by all

Lovely friendly pub.Excellent food.

Great atmosphere. Fantastic food. Warm and friendly

A smart modern environment with good quality pub dining.

Called in today for lunch. Good pint, nice home cooked food but above all a friendly welcome. Easy access to M3. A proper pub, check it out.

Good food Cold beer Fantastic setting and decor. Wonderful friendly atmosphere. Not many left like this. Staff brilliant. A pleasure.....

Lovely friendly pub, lovely staff and great garden for the kids

We popped in here for a spot of lunch with friends. We had a really friendly welcome, were seated and served quickly, had a nice pint of London Pride. We all had different things of a nice pub menu, Cod & Chips, Sausage & Mash, Ham, Egg & Chips and a Steak & ale pie. Cooked quickly, served piping hot, good pub food, nice staff. Enjoyed it and will use it again when we meet these friends again.

The most miserable and rude female owner I’ve ever come across, the bar staff look bored out of their brains and too scared to have any kind of personality, the food is poor dated pub food, the whole place needs a serious make over. My advice - Don’t bother going into this absolute dive. Go down the road to one of the many lovely Windlesham or Chobham pubs!!

Lovely xmas lunch today. Staff were great. Xx

Well run and friendly local pub very warm welcome

I read the reviews of this place and checked the website. Seemed just the right place since they claimed the customer is at the core of service at this Pub. We noticed a sign saying that food is served till 16.00 which was just right as we arrived at 15.30. We were curtly told that the kitchen stops serving at 15.00. The only snack available were crisps! The only option for non-alcoholic beer was Becks! All in all a far cry from the customer centric claims of the business. Rugby seemed to be more important at the time.

Lovely pub , fantastic beer garden, and patio area. Looks a lovely place for a meal . Clean friendly pub , fancy a meal In there one day.

We randomly chose this pub as it was half way for all of us to meet travelling in different directions!It is a warm and friendly pub with a real 'locals' feel. Welcoming and pleasant staff.Two friend's with me ordered scampi and chips, another the homemade pie special. All were happy with their choices and enjoyed them. One of us had chilli con carne with rice. This had to be sent back to make it hotter. When eaton it had very little flavour and certainly no bite. The garlic bread was over toasted. However, I wouldn't want you to use this experience to put you off trying this establishment. Real effort appears to go into how they run the business and the layout provides you with comfy corners and pleasant outside areas.

The most welcoming, friendly place! We were travelling from Woking to the West Country and desperate for a cup of tea. We couldn't find a teashop open at 4.30 on a Sunday afternoon, so took a chance on this pub. Yes, tea for 9 would be no problem! And to our amazement the landlady even produced a plate of cake and biscuits! There is a lovely conservatory and garden areas with tables and umbrellas. Even the dog was welcomed. Thank you so much for the hospitality, very much appreciated.

Local pub ok for sport....good menu so worth a try....

Friendly staff and quick service

Nice comfortable family run pub great food
