Our lovely local, amazing burger nights, great events throughout the week and Sunday sandwiches are to die for! Always greeted with a smile, happy for us to sample what's new and make alterations with the menu. Can be an issue sometimes with space as it is a small pub but the outdoor area is inviting and has heaters

We’ve always wanted to try the Red Lion. Such a pretty, well kept pub from the outside and I’m happy to say the inside did not disappoint. Lovely, welcoming bar staff, swiftly served and order taken. Food excellent / fish finger cob and lion burger - super tasty, hot and plentiful My gripe is I don’t like my food served in boxes, but this is how it is so I have to accept i, and It did not detract from the generous portions or the fabulous taste The place was kept scrupulously clean by one of the wait staff, and the ambience and decor was just lovely We will be back asap we’ve heard great things about your cobs and Sunday cobs too - thank you all!

Good food and good beer pity they asked to stop singing because it annoyed the neighbours while a DJ was thumping out music in the main building. Spoiled what could have been a good night. Reluctant to go back again

I have always been a big supporter of this pub but was really disappointed today as got there several hours early for the St Patricks Day Celebrations they had on only to find that every table inside was reserved. It didn't say on the Facebook page you could do this. We were told we could sit at a table until the time of the reservation which as this was 4.00 meant we would have to sit outside. The band was on from 5.00 so this would have meant missing it. We were also asked by one of the bar staff close to 4.00 if we were part of the group in the 4.00 booking which basically meant you need to leave the table. We chose to leave and walked to The Starving Rascal which although didn't have a live band on were playing Irish music and had a good atmosphere. It's put me of going to The Red Lion for anymore special occasions.

Must say the food was very disappointing, I had a beef cob that came with salad and chips, a pork pie and a scotch egg. The cob and chips came in a box, salad was nice and fresh, the bread was also fresh but the beef was very chewy and the chips were very well cooked (probably overcooked) and completely tasteless. I tried to make the chips more palatable with some salt and vinegar only to find the vinegar was in a tiny spray bottle similar to what they put perfume in and it was impossible to get a decent amount out. The pork and jelly in the pork pie was tasty but the pastry was undercooked and slightly doughy, similarly the egg in the scotch egg was good quality with a lovely golden yolk but the coating was thin and nothing special. The beer was better than the food, I tried the holdens golden glow and the salopian oracle and both were very nice, I couldn’t fault the beer.

Absolutely appalled… we booked this back at the beginning of November and attended Saturdays 16 December and without going into detail, we received appalling service and the food was disgusting. The table wasn’t decorated, not even a festive napkin, we had to chase up our food and ‘welcome’ fizz only for it to arrive some 40 minutes later… not even an apology from the staff who had the gall to say they were busy - there were approximately 45% of their tables unoccupied and no one standing at the bar! I contacted the manager by text while still there and he asked if he could call me the next day. Suffice to say, not a dickiebird. See the photos! Now maybe ours was an isolated experience, but we won’t be taking the chance again and we will expect our deposit back.

This establishment offers a fantastic variety of local beers and cocktails at reasonable prices, and it boasts a delightful beer garden. We placed an order for food, which was promptly delivered by the kitchen staff. The food not only arrived quickly but was also excellent, especially considering the price. The only minor quirk we noticed was that all the food was served in branded cardboard boxes. These boxes, while convenient, have a tendency to make food sweat due to their design. Typically, you'd expect food to be served on plates in a pub, so this was a bit unusual. Nevertheless, it was a minor inconvenience that didn't significantly detract from the overall experience.

We visited as a group of friends which consisted of 4 couples and after purchasing a large round of drink after last orders were told to whisper and not talk loud because of the neighbours. This was despite being inside . Funny that they took our money and then had an issue ! None of our our party will be returning there and didn’t appreciate Kate how we were spoken to by a female member of bar staff who was highly sarcastic and a manager was also very rude .

Went after seeing lovely photos of the cobs on facebook, thought we would give it a go and we're looking forward to it. Was not as we had hoped. The cobs included a serving of salad and also their famous fries. Sadly the cob had a very small amount of beef on it( see photo), the salad was limp and the famous fries tasted like they had been warmed up and were soft and soggy and only a small serving. Tasted like had all been left in the box some time to be honest. The best part was the crusty cob. For £6 didn't think it was value for money sadly.It is rarely I find the need to place a bad review, but I'm afraid I have no other option today.

We visited the Red Lion as a party of 6, our first sibling gathering for over a year. Our table was ready on our arrival in the outdoor courtyard. It looked so pretty with twinkly lights and potted palms, creating an intimate setting, with the tables at the required distance from each other. The table service was friendly and extremely efficient from a lovely team who all genuinely took pride in their job. The food was lovely and I’m assured the beer was delightful, as was evident by the amount consumed! Overall, a fabulous evening in a safe and monitored environment. Phil and his team are a credit to the industry and thoroughly deserve every success. Thank you.

The Red Lion has really made its self Covid safe very tastefully. They initiated table service from the start with a simple table number to attract attention, when you want to order. They have now covered the outside area and are providing blankets. I've been to a small number of local pubs etc and they have adapted to Covid demands better than anywhere else, whilst not ruining the atmosphere. Really recommend it.

The beer at the Red Lion is absolutely first rate. Regulars include Golden Glow, Oracle, Landlord and a few others. Generally 6 or 7 real ales on cask. They are very hot on their Covid procedures which is very reassuring. They have it well under control, and it puts some of the other local pubs to shame. The garden is super too. It's worth the walk from Wollaston, which speaks for itself.

This is a little gem of a place. From the moment we arrived (5 ladies) we couldn't have been made to feel more welcome. We booked a table outside in the garden (Currently required by the Pub because of Covid restrictions). We were escorted to our table and the system of ordering drinks and food at the table was explained to us along with the 'one way system' and directions to the loos etc. The staff were so attentive and friendly all through the night. We ordered food off the menu..(A Pub meal type menu.) which hit the spot. I take my hat off these guys.. They have gone above and beyond to make their patrons and staff safe. The atmosphere was great and we all came away saying we had cracking night.

Went with the New York Toastie and chips. When I saw the wife’s onion ring potion I wish I’d gone for them!! The Covid-19 additions are sympathetic and make the pub look more traditional than before, what a great makeover. In the area and don’t give them ago ... you’re missing out!!

Can’t get a table as the bloke who runs it keeps them for their ‘friends’. We thought we’d give it another go as when it re-opened we had high hopes, the chavie mums changing their kids nappies didn’t help. Now you have to ‘book’ a table. Unless you are a mindless regular I’d avoid.

Proper old school pub with a great range of beers - both brewed by the in-house brewery and a good range of others. Outside area comfortable with plenty of space and covered areas.
