The Red Lion in Stockport

Entertained four people. Lovely staff. Thought food slightly pricey for what it was. My steak and ale pie was very good though.

Excellent food and ambience. Staff attentive and friendly.

Three people were served before me by the barman when I stood at the bar to purchase drinks. When I was eventually served and questioned him he replied that he worked from left to right in front of him. There are no signs to advise that this is how the bar is worked and has never been the case in the last few years that I have regularly been visiting the pub. Disappointed although the entertainment last night was superb.

such lovely staff and completely pet-friendly. Great food and lovely crackly fires. It is no surprise at all that this gastropub is popular.

A lovely atmosphere we were greeted with a smile and a warm welcome the food and the service was outstanding first time we have been will definitely be calling again the staff were helpful our server Millie -Jo was professional and polite good job guys 👍🏻

Food and atmosphere were great. Freya was a fantastic and lovely server.

Great atmosphere, lovely food at a great price

We were here for tea last week and the food was lovely. Freya, our waitress could not have known that we had just lost our dad, but somehow she picked up on our sadness, and showed such sensitivity, making the experience really enjoyable. Thank you Freya, this establishment is lucky to have you!

A thoroughly enjoyable experience. Great food, service and ambience.

Lovely evening in the Red Lion today, great Sunday roast. Service with a smile and great personality from Millie Jo and Luke. Went the extra mile for us to make sure we enjoyed the family meal. Quality service, definitely will be coming back.

Beautiful pub/ restaurant with very friendly stafff and a welcoming atmosphere

Nice food in a nice environment. Good drinks selection. Well priced with nice staff.

Fantastic pub, great service, great food. Would recommend to anyone in the area

Nice friendly atmosphere, nice food and served by Jess who was lovely

Wide range of drinks, very good food with great service

This was a family meal to celebrate my sisters 70th birthday, I was also joined by my wife and son. This was our first time at the Red Lion and we had an excellent experience. At check in we were greeted by the manager who welcomed us and suggested a good seating arrangement for us. The premises were very clean with a good atmosphere. Food was excellent! I had the smoked salmon for starters followed by the Rib Eye steak (exquisite!), then the pecan pie for afters . All excellently presented and very tasty! Everyone in our party were of the same opinion , the food was excellent but more importantly the service was cheerful professional and we were looked after perfectly by our waitresses (Izzy and Tash) who went the extra mile to make us feel welcome and looked after us well. All in all a great night out and we shall be returning!

Great staff, lovely venue. Good is ok but very expensive for what it is. Sunday roast for example had 3-4 pieces of veg, not even big pieces. Genuinely thought the rest was coming on a separate plate. Portions for other options were equally as small for the price and only slightly better than average taste and quality

Went in for some pub lunch and was such a pleasant experience food was absolutely gorgeous, the ciabattas were delicious! The service was also excellent Jess was very polite and friendly and made our experience. Will 100% be back! We called again on 26/8 and it was so busy but that didn't stop the fantastic service,we didn't have to wait long for our food,I had the pie and mash and it was absolutely gorgeous I'll definitely be having that again,

Food and service was excellent, Highly recommend the Duck Spring role and the Seafood Linguini

Great food and service at the right price

First time I’ve visited The Red Lion, but it won’t be the last. Good though the food was, the main thing that made it such a pleasant experience was the staff. From the check-in desk onwards we were treated courteously and politely. Jodie and Jess were particularly engaging and attentive. Although not listed, the black pudding bon-bon starter was terrific!

We have been here a number of times. Excellent service by Jodie's and Jess (who deserve a pay rise) and great food!

It was busy when we visited but the staff endeavoured to make our experience enjoyable

Really nice early Sunday lunch… fantastic service from Jade and Jodie 😊

Delicious food , excellent service from Jade and Jodie

Jade and Jodie were very efficient, helpful and friendly. The food was delicious and the experience was very pleasant.

Lovely Sunday lunch. Jade and Jodie were excellent.

Very friendly service, good food at an average price. Million Jo and Aimee were very nice

Great atmosphere. Choice of beers. Great place.

Not being a local, last living in Cheshire 34 years ago. We were visiting a sick fiend, looking for somewhere for a quick bit to eat, the Red Lion car park looked busy, normally a good sign. We both settled for the recommended fish with hot ciabatta bread, with chips, coleslaw and salad. The fish was overcooked in a very thick batter, very hard to cut. The ciabatta would have made excellent building bricks, the coleslaw was acceptable the two lettice leaves and small tomatoes did not rock my boat! on the way out I noticed a sign about putting your car reg number on a Tablet inside, missed on arrival after helping my disabled wife up the steps. So back in the Restaurant to register. It was under the hour, which I assume after a hour and the car reg number is not entered, you get fined? Why you should have to do this I could not see, other than visit the Pub. None of the staff checked while we were there if I had entered my registration number on the Tablet!!! The beer was very good, the service acceptable, although not fast.

We were served by Millie-Jo and Aimee who were lovely. Live music and quick service on a Friday night - great!

the food was really good, it could have been more however. Ainee, Millie and Jo served us really good. it was a good night

Fantastic in every way. Especially the service. Thanks Jess 👍🏼

Came in with my family for a celebration, we were served by Jess who was very tentative and pleasant. food was lovely, very enjoyable evening had by all. thanks

Always great food, great service. Love it!!! Jess really looked after us tonight. Thank you

Great local pub. Excellent service from Millie-Jo yesterday and a warm welcome as always. Food is excellent every time. Great range of vegetarian options and good value for money. Would defo recommend and will be returning very soon.

Excellent food and service from Millie and Gary

Really great service, went with a large group and the staff served us with happy faces despite being rushed off their feet

Called in last minute today, a party of about 17of us after a day out and no booking (starving parents and kids and not from the area) the girls working just took it in their stride with a smile. Food was amazing (thank you chef) we didn’t wait long and all meals were correct. (We’ve booked other places before and they’ve still got our meal orders wrong) we all chose to sit outside so we were together and with the heaters it was lovely as it cooled down. Thank you for a lovely meal, you guys nailed it:-)

Great on the outside, rowdy on the inside, not for me i think.

Been here many times, pub was very quiet last Saturday but the service was poor, had to fetch the waitress to take our order, both for the main course and the deserts. There were 9 of us, food was good except for my salad which came with an extra - a caterpillar! At least we were not charged for it! My main problem was the fact that we were charged £3 for an extra portion of custard as our son in law couldn’t decide between ice cream and custard, so asked for both, which brought a sticky toffee pudding in at £11! Considering the overall cost for 9 people - drinks, main courses and 6 deserts, I think the Red Lion could have stood the cost of a portion of custard, especially considering the non optional extra which came with the salad!

Food and service excellent, lovely friendly staff

Came on Sunday with family. Pub is lovely, but we were shown to table. Weren’t handed any menus. Had to ask for them. Ordered a glass of wine, two cokes and one Diet Coke. They were brought to table and waitress didn’t know which was the diet one. Two of us ordered the black pudding Bon Bon for starters and the mushroom aranchini. They were all very nice. Mains were the Cajun chick burger, one gammon Sunday roast and two Sunday roasts with gammon and beef. The chicken burger was nice as was the gammon roast. The two gammon and beef roasts, gammon was very nice but both of found the beef to be very chewy. I had to take two mouthfuls out and left more or less one slice of the beef as just couldn’t eat it. Was all nice, just let down by poor quality beef.

It's really expensive for pub grub and not great 25 pound for a small rump steak

Had a wonderful evening, everything from the moment we arrived was just perfect. Great atmosphere, amazing food and caring and attentive staff made the visit just perfect. My aunt who following an accident has limited taste sensations was delighted with her curry choice and how the chicken was cooked to perfection. It was a delight to see her enjoy a meal. Keep up the good work we will definately return.

Just had Sunday lunch which was very disappointing. Only veg was one small piece of broccoli and some red cabbage. Where were the carrots, parsnips etc?! No stuffing or applesauce, not even any salt on the table. It was all about the roast potatoes and Yorkshire pud which was like a piece of cardboard. For £17 it was anything but good value for money. Needless to say we won’t be returning. Incidentally you need to update your website which shows Sunday lunch for £13.95!

Lovely place for drink with family and friends. The pub is dog friendly and they even have snacks for our fur friends

Lovely pub and loved where we were seated. Staff super very obliging. I ordered seafood linguine. My disappointment was I did not consider there was enough seafood in the dish which was soon exhausted and I was left just with.linguine pasta, which to me did not justify the cost. The sticky toffee pudding also was nice but insufficient toffee sauce.

Have just received a £60 parking charge. If there were signs to pay they were very discreet and not what you want when popping in for a quick drink. Only there for an hour.

Afternoon lunch...Busy but staff were very attentive and servoce was great. Food was typical pub fare but hot and tasty

Nice food but expensive for what you get. I was disappointed not to get any mash on my gammon dinner.it did not state you got mash but all other pubs I've had a roast at you get mash as standard.

Visited the Red Lion for the first time, enjoying a great meal but have now received a £60 parking fine. At no point did any of the staff advise that we needed to enter our car registration and when we rang the pub we were simply told that we needed to put our registration in an ipad, staff were not interested. The need to enter car registration was not obvious in the pub and not clearly apparent in the car park. Very, very disappointed on this.

The food was good and we left a generous tip. Today I have received a parking charge of £60! This looks like a scam and is no way to treat customers. I will not be going back

Having a friend reunion today for drinks, served by a lovely young lady called Jess very officiant and polite, always smiling didn’t wait too long to receive drinks, bar area lovely and clean great for parking will definitely return .

Not a lot of steak on the ciabatta & wife said gravy was a bit dodgy but apart from that ok.

Popped in for a drink on Father's Day and was very impressed with the choice of proper ales and lagers. Good atmosphere and although we didn't eat, we will be back for food soon because the plates that we saw looked and smelled amazing!

Fantastic place for food, service from the staff was of the highest level and food was really nice. The lad enjoyed it.

We didn't eat here, we were across the road, we just popped in for a few drinks after our meal. Very friendly staff, even when we were the last ones in, the staff were very polite and courteous. 👍

Clean teamwork with staff and very helpful like to see more offers on food and drink

went to the red lion for some lunch and was quite busy however service was excellent, Jessica was very attentive and helpful serving with a smile constantly! will defo be returning and buying more food/drink

Called with friends for drinks. Served by Jessica who was very friendly polite and served us with a smile and was very helpful with selecting drinks. Will definitely call again soon

My family and I fell very lucky to have such a fantastic pub local to us, great atmosphere and food is lovely, love that dogs are welcome in the bar area, but also a separate restaurant for those who prefer no dogs whilst eating. Service is always spot on, Great staff all round, they go out of their way to make sure you enjoy your visit, especially a lovely young lady called Shauna.

Called in for food with my daughter and grandson. Fish n Chips was the order of the day and very nice it was too. Had Jess a very smiley polite young lady to look after us. A nice couple of hours 🙂

Delicious variety of food & courteous staff especially Shauna who helped with recommendations from the menu together with drink suggestions when we wanted to mix things up a bit. Nice spacious pub with a big car park which was ideal for our family lunch.

Had a great experience at the red lion, amazing food and excellent service. I was served by the lovely Shauna she couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming!! Would highly recommend!!

Called in spur of the moment for lunch with my husband. Was looked after by a lovely girl called Shauna who was friendly and pleasant. Makes a refreshing change to meet employees who are happy to talk to you and have a laugh. Was impressed with the food and thought it was good value for money !

Had a lovely lunch with my mates and ordered the pate to start followed my the Gammon for main. The food was absolutely gorgeous and the the service was excellent especially Shauna who couldn't do enough for us! Great pub!

On of the waiters called Tasha smith was superb

Great food, great staff, great time. Me and my wife both being gluten free sometimes worry about eating out. I managed to catch one of the chefs called Dan at the bar. He was getting for himself being very hot day. He pleasantly went through the gluten free options with and my wife. We were put at ease by his knowledge of the menu. Had an amazing time thanks Dan

Great place to eat, drink and be merry. Great quiz every Monday night. Ella walke was very lovely and helpful as was the rest of the staff. Food was delicious too and even the dog was welcomed.

Brilliant food and service specifically by Ella… really helpful and knowledgeable about the food … will definitely return!!!

Lovely food, great service! Ella's the best staff member there!!!

Called on a Wednesday evening for a meal and catch up with a close friend. We ordered Seabream & prawns and the Chicken salad bowl plus drinks and coffee. Amazing place, beautiful food and top service by our server, Tasha 👌

good food, my server(tasha) was very helpful. it was a cold sunday and i had been so unfortunate to be caught in the rain ,soaked i had made my way to my favourite place to eat , the red lion . the food here never fails to satisfy my hunger and the staff here are so pleasant and polite especially tasha on this day made me feel so comfortable and well catered for she really elevated the experience and the food was exceptional , thank you .

lovely food , great staff, enthralling atmosphere. popped in on a Saturday evening with my mum, Stacy , she’s a pain when trying to get to eat a meal so this was a rarity. our server “tasha” was a fabulous young lady who helped us out when picking a meal. would recommend this establishment to anybody looking for a quick much with fab staff and atmosphere 😃

I come here a lot with my family. They do a cracking quiz on a Monday and we've been served a few times by Ella who has to be my favourite staff member at the Red. Super friendly and knowledgeable about the food! She's the reason I always come back for the roast chicken ciabatta! :) Keep it up Ella and thank you!

Absolutely incredible time at this pub, brought me and the family along and had a cracking time. The service was incredible from natashia who went above and beyond to help me + the gangfam out. Very friendly and accommodating staff who sorted everything out and we were all well fed and had a great time. Will be coming again

Came here the other week and in all it was a lovely experience brilliant food and lovely catering from the staff and a special mention for tasha she was very welcoming

I came here after a long walk at Lyme Park and quenched my thirst with a tall glass of Pale Ale. It wasn’t too fizzy which is good as I am prone to bloating. My Server Ella recommend a crisp chicken salad as to not promote more bloating. Her smile never left her face and I had a thoroughly enjoyable experince. 5 stars across the board

Although there didn’t seem to be too much choice for me ( I’m gluten and dairy free) the waitress said anything GF could be made to suit. The chicken supreme was absolutely gorgeous. So tasty and cooked to perfection. My husband had the haddock and chips, which was also very good. The whole pub was spotless. We are staying at a wonderful cottage in Hayfield and will definitely leave recommendations for other visitors to call in at your pub. Thank you.

Absolutely brilliant place to drink and dine. Menu fabulous but a great place to just have a drink.

The Red Lion is local to me and 1st choice if my wife and I fancy a quick drink especially in the summer, there is a good size outside space with plenty of seating and is in the sun until late evening. The food is good pub grub and very reasonably priced. They do have special food nights such as, fish and chips or steak nights which are cheaper than normal and excellent value for money. Inside has 3 types of seating food tables and chairs, High stool table and chairs if just drinking and arm chairs if you just want to chill. The Red Lion also has a restaurant if you want to book a table with the same menu and prices with waiter service. The Red Lion is on the main A6 between Stockport and Buxton about 1 mile from the entrance to the stately house and grounds "Lyme Park"

We had a table of eight last week. Great service. Will come again soon. Thanks Mike

Great food and very good, attentive staff. Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed our food here! Delicious crayfish salad - highly recommend.

On the way from Peak District stopped by this Red Lion. Took 20 minutes waiting for the waitress to take our order never happened. She was busy serving I suppose locals. Eventually I ordered our food over the bar. Considering the price and comparing with similar one in our area this one was just has the looks but not quality.

Really good pub. Service a little slow but they were extremely busy. Food very good indeed.

Food fab. Service not good there was twenty of off food came with no cutlery had to constantly ask for cutlery.

Great location. Went with a party of 13 pre booked. The staff were attentive and polite. Pub itself is very clean. Toilets spotless. Nice seating area outside and the food was if an excellent quality and well presented.

A delightful pub best pint of stella in stockport .

Service wasn't very good and wasn't busy coffee only warm got our drinks wrong waitress needs to concentrate on customers

Lovely pub with exceptional food and service!

We were on our way to Lyme Park and fancied an early lunch so called in on the off chance. I had the Burger and chips and my wife had the Gammon steak with seasonal veg and chips and we had a couple of soft drinks. Both meals were excellent in fact it was one of the best burgers I've ever eaten and the chips were fantastic. My wife really enjoyed her meal as well and we both thought it was good value for money. The staff were helpful and attentive without being intrusive and made us feel welcome. We will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

Went for the first time yesterday, could not fault it. First rate food , service and a good pint of guinness.

Very cold inside despite the horrible weather. We were a large group squashed onto 2 tables. Food was nothing special.

It is a great venue food was very good and tasty. Staff were great. Ruby was very helpful....give her a pay rise💷💷💷💷💷💷

We visited quite by chance, on our way to a nearby National Trust house. We were seated in a lovely area, quiet but with a nice atmosphere. We ordered gammon and the burger. Both came out piping hot and tasted delicious. Both my husband and I were thoroughly impressed with the food and the service. I also used the toilet and was impressed with the cleanliness and the thoughtful items offered for women. Yes, it’s more expensive than some pubs but not by much. However, you really do get what you pay for and when we’re back in this area we will definitely be back.

Excellent roast beef dinner and lovely desserts. Staff very friendly and helpful. Will call again when in the area but a bit too far to go regularly from Ripley, Derbyshire

Nice pub and staff but food was awful. Rock hard ciabattas and v disappointing. We were a group of 5 adults and 3 kids and no one had a good lunch

Two hour wait for food. No apology. They "lost" the ticket....
