The Red Lion at Claverdon in Stratford-on-Avon

Thank you for the great food and wonderful service! Looking forward to our next visit.

Very slow service, I had the fish and chips, and regulated not sending back it had been under the heat lamps for very long time as we had to wait for over an hour for food to come out, Frozen chips and fish not at all Fresh, I was mad with myself for not complaining about it, one of the party did send there food back 🤢🤢🤢

Wow! Simple wholesum fresh food. Desserts were to die for! Execellent service. Will certaintly return again in the summer months and sit outside.

Visited on a weekday evening, nice atmosphere and very friendly staff. The Red Lion burger is absolutely amazing, can definitely recommend it! If I'm back in the area in the future I'd definitely return here.

Another fantastic meal with the family. Great staff and delicious food. The beef salad is 10/10. Great selection of beers too!

Used a voucher I had as a present, good meal nice atmosphere.

First visit and went for lunch. I had the fish pie with buttered mixed greens. It was absolutely beautiful and a good sized portion too. For dessert, I had bread and butter pudding with custard. Again, delicious. Cannot fault the food, the staff or the service. A lovely place to visit. Thank you for a really first class experience.

Lovely pub, nice food and a great atmosphere

Excellent food, huge portions and Excellent service

First time visiting we didn't book we just popped in hoping they could get us in... so glad we did the food was amazing we all had the roast and it was the nicest Sunday dinner I have ever had eating out 😋 it's not overly expensive either..you pay for what you get. Definitely will be a new favourite of ours happy to drive the 40 minutes from home for the next best thing to a homemade roast

What a lovely meal we just had at The Red Lion, each of the roast meals were plentiful with a good choice of fresh veg. 2 of the diners had the ultimate roast when it first arrived as a sharing dish it did look much but as they started to put it onto their plates they realised there was plenty there, amazing how different size plates can cause an illusion. We found the staff very attentive and service was second to none. Oh and not to forget the starters and desserts some the nicest we have had for a long time. Well done The Red Lion for such a lovely joint Birthday treat.

Good food. Great company. Pre Christmasbash!

They get your order wrong, advertise you get all the trimmings on your roast when you don’t, you get some shredded basic red cabbage, even when you tackle them about it they ignore you ! Absolutely disgusting management team

New Years Eve at the Red Lion was just great. Lovely food, great service, organised fireworks and a bit of music and dancing. Lady behind us decided to have a row with Becci which was completely unnecessary and she was exceptionally rude and argumentative. It didn’t spoil a great night for us bringing in 2024! Happy New Year and we are looking forward to our next Sunday roast 😜

Great food, great service many thanks

Glad that we decided to eat our Christmas meal at The Red Lion. All 5 courses were delicious. The staff were very helpful, friendly and efficient. The atmosphere was lovely. The whole experience helped make our Christmas Day perfect.

The sharing roast was incredible. Service was good but dropped off a bit after we'd had our mains - we had to go ask for the dessert menu, bill, and card machine.

Fabulous pub with great staff- friendly but not intrusive. Food delicious. Prices are reasonable. We've been there 3 consecutive nights! Easily worth 5 stars.

I booked boxing day meal put £10 down but beware you don't get it of bill , but much say food was really good food shame about bill at end.

Lovely stop off, Great value for money meals. Peeking at other tables, other meals looked good too!

Great pub nice staff food a touch expensive but good quality

Came for Sunday lunch, booked table. Had a lovely vegetarian Sunday roast (nut roast). Service was lovely.

Had breakfast here today with my wife. This was our local back in the early 70s and it was our first visit back there together since then. Great changes, and all positive. Breakfast was excellent. I had The ‘Red Lion’ and my wife opted for the small breakfast. Both were delicious, and great value for money. Cappuccino was far better than from the coffee bar chains. Service was good and very friendly. Definitely going back, as we have moved back to the area.

Great beers and fix price lunch very good. Staff looked after us very well even though he was on is own. Thanks.

Excellent lunchtime experience. Good food at good prices, good beer, good service. We'll be back! Thanks.

The pub is cosy and welcoming - loved the open fire in the bar area and the background music. Service was friendly and attentive. Plenty of variety on the menu and we really enjoyed our food. Good quality and well presented. Would definitely return.

Lovely pub in the Country, we have been many times especially with the previous owner. This in my opinion now falls in to the pub food bracket and not restaurant. Down to pubs closing this is becoming a hub for the locals, which is great, but noisy for those dinning . Some soft furnishings , tables with lit candles and so on may help. The food was nice, again more pub based

Great place, good food and good atmosphere. Would recommend the Sunday roast to anyone. We all had the beef, and no one was left dissapointed. Service was very good although the staff were busy and rushed off their feet. Looking forward to going back.

Great menu with so much to choose from. I eventually chose the spicy chicken burger which was huge & beautifully cooked & very juicy & crispy skinny fries were so good 👍...served with coleslaw, which could do with less mayo in it. Great location and view & lovely staff too.

New menu which is totally overpriced and underwhelming food quality. Waited over an hour from ordering our food to be served and restaurant was nearly empty. Over £22.00 for a rack of ribs which I sent back. Quality of the dish was very poor. Been here a few times and enjoyed the experience but now price has escalated but food quality gone down.

I had heard great things about the Red Lion, so I chose it as a place for my partner and I to meet up with a couple of friends over dinner. The front of house staff were very welcoming and polite. Our orders for food and drink were taken promptly. The décor is nice and cosy inside, but the tables are quite small (it was difficult to fit drinks, sides and mains within the small space easily). Also the bench seat I was sat on became quite uncomfortable after sitting on it for an hour or so. The lighting was very dim inside the restaurant, which made the tiny print of the menu difficult to read. But the very attentive front of house guy noticed I was using the torch on my phone to make the print more readable, so he quickly switched on a nearby up-lighter lamp. A nice touch. The menu had changed from what was posted on the website. A couple of the dishes that we had been looking forward to sampling (Scallops starter, Meat Feast Pizza, Hunters Chicken main) were nowhere to be seen on the menu. However, the lovely and accommodating waiter managed to get the chicken dish cooked for my partner, which was very much appreciated. The food was okay. They just need to update the website menu to avoid disappointment. Unfortunately our evening was marred by a couple of excitable noisy children who were sat with their dad on the adjacent table. The father was totally oblivious to the volume of their constant shouting and the effect it was having on other diners; especially as it was interspersed with ear-piercing screams at regular intervals. One of the little darlings enjoyed an impromptu jumpy-up-and-down dance next to our table as he squealed with joy and egged his brother on to stand on a chair. Sadly the front of house staff didn’t seem too concerned that their restaurant had become a children’s adventure playground, so I had to ask the father to keep the children quiet. This gave us a five minute reprieve, until the kids took on a few more E numbers and ramped up the screaming again. I know that customer behaviour is beyond the control of the management, however it would have been better if the father had been asked by a member of staff to address his unruly children, rather than leaving it up to a customer to confront him. It’s such a shame as the Red Lion will be forever etched on my memory as being akin to dining in a crèche.

Lovely quaint pub. Busy but not crowded. Friendly and speedy service.

Lovely staff. Great food. Will return.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Good beer comfortable surroundings, dog and child friendly. Yorkshire pudding roast potatoes and meat all of a high standard and like home cooking. Good beer, will be going again.

Great country pub with amazing views!

The ultimate roast on a Sunday is fantastic!

We went for lunch today, Thursday, after a local walk and couldn’t fault anything! The food was excellent and incredibly good value, two courses for £13.95, and the service was brilliant- we chose a beer that wasn’t currently on tap but the barman/waiter put it on tap for us, superb service. We’ll definitely be going back!

As good as it gets. Food was fantastic and good atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Been there for lunch today and can't commend this place highly enough.Excellent food, prompt service and very attentive staff, will certainly be returning.

Advertise a cocktail menu - outside and at the bar stating you’re doing cocktails then when trying to order one, there not available as short staffed yet restaurant is quiet. Having had a 3 course meal here then not being able to have a cocktail is just poor.

Our first visit to the Red Lion in Claverdon, what a wonderful find, very cosy place, service was excellent, lovely friendly staff there, we went for dinner and the food was fantastic, drinks were pretty good also, will definitely be returning.

Absolutely loved the meal ,food was delicious will definitely go again 😋

Great pub serving excellent food and a great choice of drinks. On a crowded night staff seem to get a bit overwhelmed.

Randomly came across the pub when looking for lunch close to the M40. A local pub had no kitchen open so The Red Lion was next and we were not disappointed. Pleasant location to eat outside, staff were excellent and the food particularly good. Would stop again when travelling in the area.

It's a lovely place with lovely friendly staff. Food really good. Thankyou.

Lovely village pub with amazing character, went on a bank holiday Friday without booking an table. Hostess manage to squeeze us in during a time they were very busy. The food was amazing and the staff were brilliant and friendly too. Will definitely have a...

Lovely village pub with amazing character, went on a bank holiday Friday without booking an table. Hostess manage to squeeze us in during a time they were very busy. The food was amazing and the staff were brilliant and friendly too. Will definitely have a lovely meal there again when back in the area in the future.

What a great find. Something for everyone and the most expansive gluten free menu I have seen for a long time. Service was a treat and is dog friendly for those that need it.

Absolutely fantastic! We are a group of families who all have a child with an ultra rare condition - Bohring-Opitz Syndrome. There have been approximately 350 diagnosed in the world, but sadly, only approximately 250 are still alive. We have our Annual UK BOS meet up at Hatton Park, and had a meal at the Red Lion last year, when they accommodated us all, including wheelchairs at very sorry notice, and the service was amazing, as well as the food! So much so that we decided to go again this year. The staff were amazing, and the Chef accommodated all of our meals as requested. We will definitely be going back next year!

Amazing food, brilliant food and friendly staff

This was a family meet up and we were looking for a dog friendly pub to meet up on a Sunday. The restaurant was very good, the staff friendly and helpful. The food was excellent. We all went for the mixed roast. The other customers...

Terrific little pub with a great Sunday Roast. Beautiful views through the window as as was raining unfortunately . Even so lovely countryside

We went for lunch on Saturday 29/07/23. The service was poor and the staff were miserable. We spent £112 on lunch for three of us. Both portions of chips were over-cooked.

Slow service, overpriced food. We were hungry after playing golf nearby so had little choice.

A 1 off visit but if i was ever in the area again i would go here again. Food great & good value.

I was starting on a walk with a friend from Claverdon and we popped into the Red Lion for coffee. It opens at 10 am and we were made most welcome and enjoyed a delicious flat white in the garden if this delightful pub It is my intention to make a return visit to have lunch here in the near future

Good menu at reasonable prices service prompt and friendly

A Thursday lunch with beer and nibbles, very nice! Beautiful location, great views from the car park and garden.

Last minute decision to have a pub Sunday lunch. Hadn’t been to Red Lion for several years but certainly weren’t disappointed. Nicely set out and decorated with plenty of outdoor space for eating too. Late afternoon but the food was exceptional. We had roast belly...

Lovely place , really nice staff ... food was excellent 👌

Excellent service from friendly staff. Good country pub atmosphere. Beautiful views. Great food. Easy parking. It's our regular!

Really good food, had the beef Sunday lunch and the meat, potatoes and vegetables were all freshly cooked (no freezer to fryer) and delicately seasoned to perfection. Staff were friendly and attentive without being overbearing. A really lovely experience with beautiful views, we will back.

Beautiful place and excellent service with delicious food. 🥰

Quite possibly the best steak pie I’ve ever had - melt in the mouth beef and perfect pastry, served with quality roast veg, mash and gravy. My friend had the pork belly , which was similarly delicious. Good service and smiley faces. Wonderful. Surprisingly good...

Just went in on an impulse Surprised how well set out and the outside space was lovely and I was at the bar and was soon served. Very lovely outlook and staff x1 was very quick even when busy so not sure what staff were there , They had served several groups with lunch and they all seemed very happy , tables well spread out

Went for a late afternoon Sunday lunch. Service and food ran very smoothly and we sat out on the decking which has lovely views. Only reason for 3 stars for atmosphere is that it was a bit quiet at this time of day. Probably much busier at the 1pm lunch time period.

Gorgeous food, really generous on the content of the dish, especially with the ingredients that matter! Friendly staff, quick service.. Lovely setting with nice views. Reasonably priced. Will definetly go again when passing 😄

Lovely place especially on a Friday night bikes everywhere 😎

I visited in May so it was a chilly evening. They have space heaters in the garden so it was warm enough. Beer was nice and cold and the food good. Cheerful staff who made recommendations. Great experience. We'll be back.

Stopped for a late lunch midweek.prompt service with friendly staff.attentive as she came immediately when I had a coughing fit..which only lasted a minute. We had the 2 course lunchtime menu for £13 99.very good value .hubby had beef bagu with gravy and cheese and...

Great place! Good food and lovely staff!

The food was excellent with plenty of choice. Good choice of wine. Food well presented, hot and nicely cooked.yummy puddings too.I am sure we will be back

Went here for an evening meal, lovely atmosphere. Staff friendly and attentive, nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent. I tried the scallop starter it was delicious and the pork belly for mains, my friend had the steak and it was cooked to...

Visited for the bike night. Stopped for food - great range (food AND beers/ wines) and tasted great. Good prices too. Recommend the pizza - lovely

A nice pub with okay food and nice atmosphere

Biker meet Friday night, great place, people and food 👍

Muy rica la comida, generosa en la presentación, recomiendo de entrante el queso, delicioso. El sitio es precioso La atención es muy amable

Had a very nice meal for lunch with a friend last week. Service was great, friendly and efficient. Food was outstanding! I am not easily pleased in this type of gastro pub, but the soup of the day was delicious and the chicken schnitzel was...

We found this little gem of a pub after a day out in Hatton farm . Everything was amazing , service , food came out quick , nice and hot . The steak was tender cooked to perfection . We will be 100 percent be visiting this pub again and would. highly recommend it to anyone passing . Well done guys

Nice food and great service. We had a lovely little nook area for all 14 of us. They also allowed us to take our own cake.

£7 starters and desserts, £17 mains. Food comes at that price point, slowly (we waited an hour and a quarter for your mains). ‘Restaurant’ dimly lit and not warm (why are so many pubs/restaurants like this?). Service pleasant.

Lovely village pub! You know a nice place when every small thing is is well done: the coleslaw and chips where amazing and the dishes were fresh and tasty. Definitely recommend!

Great food, friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and good value.

Stopped off here by chance on way back from Stratford upon Avon, had 2 meals pork belly, mash with cabbage & the fish & chips both were amazing, very tasty, just enough & staff were great too, had food outside on back terrace & view to die for & plenty of parking

Hadn’t been for about 5yrs but were delighted to see the new decor, nice and bright, garden will be lovely in summer with great views. We had Sunday roast which was fabulous! The beef roast arrived quickly, was hot fresh, great yorkshires and lovely veg,...

Always delicious food and excellent service, never feel rushed and the atmosphere is great. Highly recommended 👏👍

An unpleasant experience. The management had clearly decided to cram as many covers as possible into all parts of the building (in multi sittings). We found ourselves crammed into the corner of a side room, where there was no heating, and despite the presence of...

Hadn't visited here for a meal since 2006 so didn't really know what to expect. When we arrived for dinner at 7pm with friends car park quite full so we knew would be busy. First issue as soon as we walked in we had to...

Absolutely amazing staff were really friendly and food was gorgeous definitely recommend the red lion burger with added pulled pork

Fantastic place to eat, friendly and welcoming staff. Food was delicious and great value for money. Dogs are made very welcome and they have a pet station where they bring over a small bowl of water and a treat which is great. Can’t fault the...

Nice pleasant staff would also recommend visiting in the summer as views are very nice on the terrace

Lovely lovely food and great service. Would come again.

Had lunch, fish and chips were ok, the chilli beef salad was ok, flavours ok, some of the beef was soft, some not so much. The Eton Mess was a long way short of an Eton Mess. The setting is amazing and the food could...

Stopped here for a lunch break travelling from NW to a funeral in the South. Thought it would be better than the motorway services - BIG MISTAKE, as in huge!!! My wife's bangers and mash were ... well, ok, BUT my: "HOT ROAST BEEF BAGUETTE...

Food was absolutely delicious. We had Hunters Chicken (me) and Chicken Supreme (wife) then shared an Eton Mess. Absolutely delicious. The local ale was extremely nice, the atmosphere was fantastic and the waiting staff were great. Highly recommended!

Wow! We went for Valentine's evening Service was great from the moment we walked through the door until the moment we left. Food was outstanding and the whole atmosphere was perfect. Thank you and we look forward to seeing you all again.

A fantastic meal, great started and a perfectly cooked steak!….. brilliant waiters and a truly pleasant atmosphere, well done staff!

Great value lunch time set menu Good service Food all super fresh and homemade Delicious 😋

Love this place. Food great, as is the choice of beers
