Met up with some old school friends at The Swan. As I was late arriving, (as I usually am), we arrived about an hour before closing. Great little place with excellent music. We decided to go to the Red Lion. What a huge mistake (should have gone to the Bell). The bouncers made my partner, my son and me outside while they were chatting to a group of lads that wanted entry. Alas, they would not let them in. Then they said my son & me could go in but not my partner. No explanation, we had just been waiting as requested. I went in to explain to the rest of our party. Whilst in there, the young bouncer with a beard told me son, "he heard my partner had been swaying", my son asked if he seen this, to which he replied no. My son informed him rightly so, that what he heard & what he seen are 2 different things! We ended up going home at 11:40! By this time I was soaked as it started raining. No wonder the place was empty, with bouncers refusing entry. Get yourself a decent security firm, or you will have no business left.

Friday night they choose to have a DJ called DJ SKIN. He seemed to do a good job of emptying the place. I was there for one drink because he only played one decent tune . Maybe he should change the second and the forth letters of his name. Go to the Swan they play proper tunes

The Red Lion has reopened following a refurb. They've still got a reat Guinness. They added Doombar, which is also great. The Red Lion is not a hotel, nor does it serve food (beyond crisps/ nuts). The Red Lion is much busier and fun than previously. Sunday evening has a quiz night. And it's very cheap beer 🍻

Me and my family went to the Red Lion to end our night after being at the wake for a family member. It was a great atmosphere, but towards the end of the night the barman (in the glasses) and the doormen were very disrespectful, with the doormen especially having a rotten attitude towards us. The cider wasn't very nice too. First and last time I'll be going to the Red Lion in Coleshill.

We visited the red lion for my mums 80th and had a fantastic lunch. There were 20 of us and not an easy bunch. Service was amazing and food was fantastic. My only issue was paying £7.50 for extra gravy, when some of the roasts did not have much on them when they were served. Plus we had spent a lot of money in there. That said, it was great gravy! The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and the staff were very friendly and helpful. It was extremely hot and they did so well.

Went for a drink with friends late afternoon bank holiday Monday .Lovely sunny day and it started well until a large group with children arrived ,they were very loud and swore a lot , the kids were somewhat unruly and then a fight broke out with one of their number with someone already at the pub . Took what seemed like an age to break the fight up .These idiots cared not that their was very young children present .Apparently this family are regulars so we won’t be going back and I suspect we won’t be the only ones! Avoid .

We arrived on a very noisy Friday evening to find the bar area overflowing due to it being “happy hour”. Conversation at our table was difficult. We thought the service was slower than expected despite noting that food “ is cooked to order”. Prices for some items were on the high side for essentially pub food but food itself was ok and the portions generous. However the Barnsley Chop I ordered (at £25.50) was extremely tough and despite making the staff aware of this and demonstrated by what was left and inedible on the plate, it did nothing to prompt a response from either the staff or management.

Since The Red Lion has had a refurbishment, I was under the impression it was be a ‘Sports Bar’ and cheaper drinks and have a bit more too it then previously, as it was always expensive to drink there and the food wasn’t always 100%. When I arrived to see the new refurbishment, disappointed and dissatisfied is an understatement. There is less seating then what there was previously, the choice of alcohol on draft is disappointing, there are also no more cocktails (!!!!!), the outside area is a complete let down, there is no more canopy or outside heaters, and the lovely beer garden seating with barrels for seats and outside bar have been replaced by bland benches. There is a darts board which I was quite excited about until I realised that it is in a corner near a TV and swamped by tables and chairs, which makes it extremely difficult to play. The drinks are not cheaper and over all are not good quality. We are in desperate need of a fresh modern pub/bar in Coleshill, and unfortunately the new refurbishment has yet again missed the mark.

I was looking for a venue for my wife's late uncle's wake, not being from the area I was struggling to find a venue and with little over 4 days before his service I managed to talk to Mary at The Red Lion. In an instance she took control and organised the booking and the food. Upon arrival after the service the staff were all fantastic and most obliging. They put on a amazing buffet and everyone was so well looked after. Thank you Mary and the proprietors of the Red Lion.

We were looking forward to having a meal here, after reading the reviews, but ended up disappointed, as we were told they aren't doing food at the moment.

Following the death of my partner's father we were looking for a location near Amersham Crematorium to book a reception following the funeral. We chose the Red Lion because it had really good reviews and fitted our criteria. The reviews were well founded. From the first phone call I made I found the owners to be exceptionally friendly and helpful. We anticipated the reception would be for a relatively small number of people but had no real idea how many people would attend the service. I was told not to worry but to give my best estimate and if more people arrived none would go hungry. The menu choices are good and very reasonably priced. As it was a mid afternoon reception we opted for sandwiches and quiche with cakes and tea and coffee and the food was of a really good standard. The cakes, in particular, were delicious. The room was cosy and welcoming with a log fire burning cheerfully and the atmosphere was very relaxing. So many thanks to Barnaby, Phillie, family and staff for helping to make a sad occasion a very pleasant experience. I highly recommend this venue. If it weren't for the fact that we live in Scotland we would plan to become regular visitors and certainly those attending who did live locally and had not previously been aware of the Red Lion were sufficiently impressed to state that they would definitely return for a lunch or dinner.
