Visited today with our discount. As imagined very busy however food was amazing and service was polite and quick. Lamb shank is an amazing addition to the menu.

We had sea bass filets and the signature burger, both were amazing. Perfectly flavoured and good portion size. Squash and cauliflower soup of the day was just the thing we needed on a cold Sunday afternoon. Would definitely come back.

Red Lion is one of our favourite pub / restaurants. They have a nice menu, good food, good service, allows dogs, nice atmosphere, ample free parking and generally not too crowded (except at certain times of the week).

Lovely pub, service was great . The only downside was the portions were tiny, especially my child’s garlic bread which was 2.75 for one small triangle of garlic bread! Some of the food was over cooked and the pate started had a large amount of pate and very little bread.

Pleasant, helpful staff who gave a quick service with a smile despite being busy. Three in our party, we all had different meals: fish & chips; gammon & chips and beef pie with mash & chives, roast carrots and broccoli. We all agreed that the food was excellent and good-sized portions. There are two fairly large car parks (one behind and one to the side of the pub). There is also a fairly large and pleasant outside area at front of the pub that is a lovely place to dine (or drink) in. Such a shame the weather was not on our side We spent the best part of two hours having our meal and chatting, and it was a really nice time had by all 3 of us

Lovely place to have a drink. Dog friendly. Busy inside , but do have an outside area with seating. . You can book a table. If you don't like dogs don't go. I love them. They provide individual bowls for water and dog treats, dogs allowed inside and out and guaranteed fuss from the staff.

After our walk around the lakes we decided to visit the Red Lion for lunch. Great menu, so many tempting meals to choose from. We opted for the roast dinner, I had roast beef and my husband had the pork - delicious! The pub has a great atmosphere and is very welcoming and dog friendly. The service was very good, couldn’t fault a thing Will definitely return!

We are regular visitors to this countryside pub near Earlswood. On this occasion they happened to be running a discount on main courses so it was very busy. Nevertheless, service was good, there was no additional wait for our meals, and the food was delicious. Clearly, they were well prepared for the additional load on resources and were very efficient.

As regular visitors to Mitchell and Butlers Vintage pubs, we have always been very pleased with the food and service. Unfortunately, the quality of food and service was not of the usual standard. Staff seemed very overwhelmed with heavy workloads. When the food arrived, it was not the warmest. The steak was of a very poor quality with more fat and gristle than meat. Management may need to think about customer to staff ratios!

26/09/21: now 4star after a revisit. Same warm efficient welcome as before. Item I was looking forward to ordering from menu not there - but still good choice and a pleasure to eat. Like the fact that menu seems to alter every Sunday. I will check online menu next time before booking! This time seated in "library", where acoustics not too good - especially if a quiet meal is wanted while a large group simultaneously are eating in this interesting room. Not sure about serving staff touching visiting dogs for health & hygiene reasons. 12/09/21: 5star. Warm welcome from efficient staff. Great country pub style interior. Excellent Sunday lunch for a birthday party of 6. Good menu choices. Meal presentation good while served with a smile in reasonable time. Drink choice - above average. Star staff - Helen.

I visited yesterday for lunch with my friend, we were asked rather sharply if we had booked and then shown to a table. I was served a very tired looking prawn cocktail , the avocado was all discoloured and the lettuce was murky and discoloured… I complained to the server who said it would be replaced but it took ages to come back by which time my friend had almost finished her meal. Not a pleasant experience.

The place itself is lovely, and the food was decent enough, but the service from our waitress was really awful. She just didn’t want to know, refused to engage with us throughout and the odd time she spoke to us it was in an unpleasant tone. We had three rounds of drinks during our time at the table, I had to go up to the bar and get the drinks myself on all 3 occasions as she just would not come over. I tried to get eye contact with her but she would just look everywhere else apart from at us. God knows what we did to offend her. Also the food took 40 minutes to come out, which is a disaster when you are with young children. They should have brought the kids food out well before 40 minutes. I think the other staff seemed ok, but there was no where near enough of them, penny pinching on wages and it let the whole experience down. I would go again if I knew we would be served by somebody else. We had Sunday Roasts, which were quite good, beef over-cooked and not much of it, but generally fine and acceptable prices. But the service, none existent basically.

Outstanding food, exceptional service by Dan and the team, and a brilliant atmosphere. This rustic pub has it all. There's free parking, a wide-ranging menu that's well priced, and the pub team goes above and beyond to make sure you and yours have the best dining experience you could hope for. We were left wishing we lived close enough to make this our local.

The Red Lion is a gem of a country pub on the outskirts of Solihull. We went for lunch with friends and the food, atmosphere and service were all excellent.

New to the area and tried this place yday for the first time, was really looking forward to it, Sunday roast was very disappointing, the roasters and veg were really greasy and the lamb was very pink but yet I could hardly cut it, it was very chewy, i had to ask for a steak knife, partner had the trio of meat and the belly port was under cooked too, for £20 a roast you expect it to be perfectly cooked. Wouldn’t return.

Service at the Red Lion was fabulous. We arrived and asked to be seated by the open door as we had a lady of a certain age who needed cool air on a hot day. We were served promptly and waitress was knowledgeable and helpful with our requests. Food was delicious, slight hiccup with the curry but quickly rectified. Desserts were to die for. Atmosphere was lovely too. Great food, service and atmosphere. Would throughly recommend 😊

We arrived early and sat in the garden for drinks. There is plenty of parking there.I had booked on line but when we got there, there was not a table booked for us (5 of us). Probably my error.However the waitress was very helpful and found us a table in the dining area. The service was very good. The waitress was friendly and helpful and we didn’t wait too long for food despite it being a sunny sunday lunch time and the pub being busy. We had two pies, two roasts and a signature burger and all were very nice and good value. The dessert menu has a selection of mini desserts on it which come with a hot drink included in the price. I chose one of these mini desserts and it was just the right size after the big lunch. However some in our party had the lemon tart which was in fact lovely. We sat outside before and afterwards for drinks. All in all a very nice afternoon.

We stopped by for lunch today, the pub is very clean and cosy. We're shown to our table by a not so very helpful waitress. We ordered our food and drinks. One scotch egg as a stater for us to try , which came put about 20 minutes later. We then waited and waited for our mains. Altogether an hour passed an no sign of the mains. I asked the waitress who said because we had a starter that was why there was a delay, " it's coming it's coming" was her quiet rude reply. We sat for a further 10.minutes and no sign of our food and no one checked in with us to explain the delay. We paid for our drinks and the one starter and left very disappointed by the way the waitress handled the whole situation. The lady who took our payment was very apologetic. First and last time we will come here. Which is a shame as we were expecting a nice meal and becoming regulars.

Turned up to ask if they had a table available. Waited 5 minutes to be at the front of the queue then was ignored for another 10 minutes whilst two of the waiting staff argued about where to put another group. Wasn't even told 'sorry be with you in a moment'. Eventually I said 'you know what, forget it' and went to walk out. Both members of staff looked at me but offered no apology & let me leave. Unbelievable. Will not be back. Avoid

We stopped there for a pint mid way in a country walk. Weather was excellent so we sat outside; they have loads of tables in a large patio by the canal. Quite a nice place to sit with a pint or two in the autumn sun. Despite all of us having ordered drinks, and some of us ordered nibbles, a bloke made a fuss about some of the group having a sandwich they brought with them. Because of this, I may consider a different place to stop when we walk in the area.
