The Red Lion Barnet in High Peak

My friends and i went to the red lion for drinks and were immediately pleased with the warm welcome from the staff behind the bar. Staff were attentive and provided drinks quickly. We were also very happy to have music playing out of the speakers! It provided a lovely atmosphere that made for a good time. Would definitely go back, lovely pub.

My name is Jeff Pettett. I use the Red Lion to meet senior local members of U3A Barnet and run several French speaking groups there using a private room. I sincerely thank manager Charlie and his excellent dedicated friendly staff members including Grace, Masie, Lorraine and her daughter. The warm welcome we always receive makes the Red Lion Barnet a five star choice of venue for a well priced choice of meals including an excellent carvery. Well done to Charlie for running what is in my opinion the best public house and restaurant in North London and South Hertfordshire. Regards and thank you. Jeff.

Visited Red Lion yesterday for pub lunch. Was served by staff called- Micheal. Excellent customer service. Pizza was amazing . Lovely sitting at home at the garden.

Was amazed by the customer service . Staff were friendly and polite. Food was good and didn’t take much time to be served. Had my favourite cocktail!

Had a big family meal here today with all the family, 25 of us. We all found the women staff really rude and unhelpful. The children get a dessert with a meal yet when asked for the bowls at the bar they charged my mum while she was buying a drink. When she questioned them they said well you should have asked for the desserts when placing your first order. I went back to the bar and the man was really helpful, refunded the money and couldn’t apologise enough. They only cleaned half the tables once we had finished then took the rest as we was leaving. Apart from the rude staff the food was really nice.

Great prices for drinks and the food menus with the new pizzas are amazing. The staff are very pleasant

I had a highly disappointing experience at Red Lion Barnet. This place was previously well run with excellent service and quality food. Standards have dropped considerably from my last visits. The ordering app is unclear, staff could not help, and it could not be used for loyalty cards. When ordering at the till the meal deals wouldn't work making the process complicated. We asked for starter and main course to be brought separately. They were not. The carvery had only half the number of meats advertised - if I had known this when booking, I would not have ordered carvery. The food quality was poor - much of it was dry and unappetising. There was an absence of customer focus from the staff who on previous occasions have been bright and welcoming. I will not return to this restaurant that I have been on many occasions - nor as this is a Stonehouse operated venue will I consider using any of their other sites.

Wanted a late lunch at the carvery. There was no dark turkey meat to carve and the roast beef was a left over burnt scrap. Very disappointing indeed. The roast potatoes were hard and un edible. The atmosphere was very drab and dark.

i went in to give this place another chance but despite the food improving the lack of any smiles from the staff made the whole experience dull. The manager was never in front and when he was he was rude in responding to out query about the trading times. The bathrooms were dirty with the same leaking pipe still dripping away after months and months. Its a shame to see a iconic pub being run like this with not a care about it in the world.

lovely car very Hot fresh lovely roasties, Apple pie and custard was to die for , lovely waitress, the only reason i have not give. a 5* is that the drain smell, sorry but i so enjoyed my meal but kept getting a whiff of drains

Pizza carvery both amazing well done red lion keep up the good work Shall be back again thank you guys

I have eaten many carveries in my long life but this one was by far the best, succulent roast potatoes and a generous portion of my favorite meat went down a treat and the service was amazing. My waiter was an older lady named Amanda who couldn't do enough for me. Eating alone can sometimes be uncomfortable but they went out of there way to make me feel welcome. Cannot recommend enough. Thanks Amanda you made my visit special.
