The Red Lion in Bradford

Great place, great atmosphere and the staff are all welcoming. Never had a bad visit and the food is wonderful. All credit to Gemma and Stuart. DNA

A Wharfedale Whimsy at the Red Lion 🍗🦁 (3/5) Off I went on a dinner quest to the Red Lion in Burley-in-Wharfedale, unsure if it's a local gem or part of a restaurant chain. Parking was a breeze – plenty of room for my trusty steed (er, car). With TVs aplenty, it seemed this lion's den might be a haven for sports fans. The youthful staff, eager to please, swiftly took my order: a veritable feast of chicken in all its fried glory. Alas, the meal appeared to have been plucked from the freezer, then hurled into the deep, dark depths of the fryer. My butterfly chicken, a bit too well done, could've taken flight, and the wings? Let's just say they've got crunch! On the bright side, kids can run amok in this spacious pub. And the helpful staff earned my three-star salute. But the grub? I was left with a bean-and-chip mountain, yearning for tastier cuisine. Ah well, better luck next time!

Great friendly service with delicious food. Cost atmosphere and prices and specials available were great. A wonderful stop as I drove down memory lane with my parents. A highlight of my time in the countryside and one I’ll tell my friends about when I return home to Australia.

This pub is always warm and friendly. The staff are all courteous and polite. My wife and I regularly call in for a drink and always receive a warm welcome. I can certainly recommend Sunday lunch

As usual Stuart & Gemma & the Red Loin team showed exceptional customer service & the food was 100% delicious 👍 looking forward to my next visit, Sunday lunch tomorrow me thinks .

Great food & drinks with friends - lovely atmosphere and great table service from Jake especially - highly recommend esp the burgers

Cost £24 for a pint of Landlord, a bottle of Pinot Grigio, and 3 packets of crisps! Pleasant sat in the beer garden at the front of the pub, though some of the wooden tables are falling apart.

Called in for a beer, ended getting a taxi home to ilkley four hours later, All in all it's a good pub with good people both sides of the bar, will call in again soon,

Visited here with the girlfriend recently and really enjoyed it.Food is good. Plenty of choice but still a somewhat classic pub menu. Value for money is brilliant.Drinks wise the beers are well looked after. Not a vast array of ales but I'd rather quality over quantity any time - i think the manager mentioned they often change 1 or 2 of them regularly as well.Atmosphere and service wise is great here. The manager with the beard was a gent, and looked after us really well - think my girlfriend took a liking too him so ladies get yourself down there!The pub was a little quiet but it's a pretty big place with the two (arguably 3 rooms) and it was a midweek afternoon so as expected.Overall, just a classic local pub doing a great job. Will be back when next in Burley.

One thing I have to say about this place is its a complete and utter waste of time.Don't get me started on the staff, they are some of the rudest and most arrogant people I have ever met in my entire life. They do not care about what goes on, if they do something wrong they will not admit it.The food is absolutely appalling it is horrible nasty food which I will never eat again and the prices of them is ridiculous.it is such a nice looking pub with a great location but I have to give it credit for the stomp here on a warm sunny day, it is a great time to have a dream with friends etc.One more thing to add they should really look into the backgrounds of some of there staff before employing them.

The red lion has long since had its day,but for some reason I thought I'd give it another chance as my usual local couldnt fit us in (the queens).. The bar is a double sided bar so can be tricky catching someone's eye to get served, the choice on the bar back is limited (very old school) 2 gins 2 vodkas etc.. Had a pint of cask ale, was 2/5 at best.. The service was ok and staff more then pleasant but the atmosphere,or lack of, and food weren't up to much.. I'd class the red lion as defiantly just a sport pub (when the TVs work)
