The Red Lion, Hillingdon in Hillingdon

We visited the red lion for dinner earlier this month and we're very impressed. The atmosphere was great and the staff went out of their way to make sure we were looked after. The food was very nice and we didn't have to wait too long for it. Will definitely visit again. We'll done team!!!

Be very careful ordering drinks at this place. The staff (Gemma) are exceptionally rude. I ordered 2 double spiced runs with a splash of coke. I was charged £27 which i paid. I then reflected and asked the staff why it was so expensive. I was then rudely told management has told the staff to push the house / more expensive drinks. I was then told my tone was in appropriate when asking why wasn't the cheaper options offered. Very rude staff. Stay away. Better going across the road for food and drinks to the Vine. For comparison the same drinks were £16 and the staff much nicer and polite. Stay away.

Lovely, if unexpected stay, at the Red Lion. Our flight in Heathrow was missed, so we had to book in nearby. Staff, room, service, and food were all above expectations and a warm welcome on a stressful night.

Stayed here for 3 days for a family wedding 💒. Staff are brilliant 👏. Rooms clean and tidy. Added bonus of a hairdryer and iron/ironing board. Fresh towels every day. Lovely place to stay. Advisable to book as very busy. Thank you 😊 Red Lion. Would definitely recommend.

Second visit to this pub with rooms and won't be last. Food is tasty, staff are nice. The more expensive rooms are worth it as staying in a less expensive room than last time and finding it a little noisier so will definitely spend a little more on our next visit.

Nice and clean rooms. Pub downstairs. It would be nicer if the kitchen was working till later (closes 9 pm), but there are other great restaurants nearby.

Friendly welcome from reception to restaurant. Food was excellent great value for money, as it was just quality. Room clean tidy and loved the chocolates really nice touch

Family meal at the Red Lion on Hillingdon Hill (26/8/24), welcoming pub/hotel with enjoyable outdoor space, the menu was not cluttered, the choices are good and tempting, pub classics and new dishes. We have visited before and can recommend the crispy Norfolk chicken wings for starters because they are delicious and perfectly crispy, this visit we tried something different and every course was really good, food was served hot, the haddock and bacon linguine was delicious, steak was flavoursome and tender, chips were piping hot, fluffy & crispy. Every course, starters/mains/desserts/coffee, all excellent. Pleasant efficient staff. Would highly recommend.

On Sunday 25th I had lunch. The service was excellent - very friendly and warm welcome from Janet, Billy, and Georgie. The food was great - generous portions of delicious roast pork and vegetales which were cooked just as I like them (slightly crunchy). The lime cheesecake was yummy. All finished off nicely with a Tip Pepe, a lovely glass of Rioja, and a large Remy with coffee. A very satisfying Bank Holiday Sunday!

Absolutely lovely quaint hotel!! We loved our time spent at the Red Lion. Impeccably kept rooms, wonderful snack assortment and refreshments restocked daily for complimentary tea. The staff are very kind, friendly and attentive, especially Nancy!! We visited from the US and we would love to return. The attached pub and outside patio seating is exceptional also. The hotel and rooms are very aesthetically pleasing, the grounds and flowers, and the bathroom toiletries are a very nice brand. A bit off the hustle and bustle path, great breakfasts (we opted for the included daily breakfast, a definite must!!) and an all around lovely place. Thank you Red Lion and staff, we loved every minute of our stay.

£24 for a glass of merlot and g&t. Never again.

A nice hotel, very close to the airport. Pub with good food. Service missed preparing the bed for the children, but always tried to get everything sorted immediately.

Just stopped here for a drink and a quick bite to eat. Good range of beers available. Had a cheese sandwich, came with chips. Very tasty.

Picturesque pub in the heart of hillingdon village. A mix of locals and professionals. They accept the Hillingdon card for 10% discount Monday to Thursday... I think. Don't forget to ask as they won't suggest it! The menu has an array of dishes to suit all occasions, including a quick bite. It's not the cheapest place around but a perfect setting. Perfect place to order a takeaway from the village fish and chip shop over the road (please see its review for more detail) Very dog friendly

Stayed for two nights to see Taylor Swift - lovely hotel, really comfortable bed (needed after 3 hours of dancing!), only a 10 minute uber away from the tube station.

Staff was very nice and accommodating. They helped arrange a taxi back to the airport in the morning, something I feel is above and beyond. The attached pub had good beer and food. Would visit again.

Elderly bar mid a bit rude, beer not very good, outside tables not cleaned from previous day, rubbish on the floor, overall a very disappointing experience

Just spent the evening having the most enjoyable time with people popping in for drinks and others staying at the hotel. What a great evening enjoying the local band the stiles play, they never disappoint. You can be assured of a fantastic evening with everyone singing and dancing to their music. Fantastic evening lovely pub and great entertainment to the extent a couple of people came up to me and said it’s like being abroad. I really hope this can happen again. What a lovely evening Great pub lovely location with good choice of drinks and food. Will definitely be going back again and look forward to more entertainment bringing everyone together. Well done the red lion

My fav home away from home in Uxbridge!

Avoid the breakfast. It's pathetic. it's a 30 pound charge automatically added to room charge. The service is slapdash with items tossed on the tables. Servers are overwhelmed and apparently untrained

Really enjoyed our stay over the weekend. Hospitable, friendly, helpful staff - rooms spotless and tidy with everything you need. Safe on-site parking, very good food and decent bar. Easy access to Wembley (AC/DC concert in our case) via bus and Uxbridge tube station. (Also close to RAF Battle of Britain Bunker site / museum c20 min walk which is worth a visit). Would definitely stay again.

Great accomadation, great value and the vegan breakfast was more than enough with continental breakfast along with a full vegan well worth the money. Would recommend and would definatly stay again.

Terrible service, our food order was wrong, when we asked for the correct sauce, we received a well known brand of BBQ sauce poured into a ramekin!!! I will say that we are staying in the hotel and have nothing but praise for the room, but food here is disgraceful.... such a shame

I was taken here with a group of friends for a little celebration. Nice little pub opposite the church and vine pub across the road. Good location and far enough away from town but close enough. Staff are friendly service is easy.

I love this quintessential English hotel and pub… it is stepped with history - King Charles I is rumored to have been in the tavern on site here in 1646 as he fled Oxford. The King Charles room here is lovely, the four poster bed makes you feel like a princess and is so comfortable that I felt like I was on a fluffy cloud sleeping! The bathroom was spacious with both a bath and walk in shower - only downside was lack of full toiletries - could be because of Covid but no wash cloths, hair conditioner, or cotton bud and wool supplies as the norm. Nice touch in the room is a complimentary bottle of Fullers Ale and a well stocked hot drink and biscuit box. The breakfast offerings are always fresh and tasty - staff are friendly and very nice ensuring you are taken care of. A great place to be before or after Heathrow and the new Fish and Chip shop across the road can be a nice addition too! I really recommend staying and eating here ❣️

We were traveling through the UK on our holiday to the British Isles. My daughter-in-law made a family reservation for 5 of us. We were greeted by a pleasant, professional young lady, named Nancy. She checked my wife and me in and brought us to our room. She gave us the King Charles 1st room with a canopy and 4 bed posts. The room was quaint but older than my son's room. Since the hotel was built in 1646, they tried to keep that look. One wall had the original wood beams sticking out of the plaster to give it that old English look and feel. One problem was that the TV was in a cabinet on the left side of the room and with the 4-post bed frame you could not see the TV. The floor creaked when you walked around the room. I am unsure they left that to give you the feeling of an older 1600’s room. After my first night, I went down to the front desk clerk to tell her I had an exciting thing to tell her. You see, during the night I kept hearing that floor creaking in spots when someone walked over them in the room. The clerk mentioned that other residents who have stayed in that room also reported different things like someone stroking their face or things in the room making noises. Everything in the room was creepy. Cabinet draws would creak if they were open. The room was clean and the housekeeper cleaned daily. One complaint I had was that she would remove the card from the slot that would keep the A/C and lights on. When we would return after a long day of travel it was extremely hot in the room. I left a note the next day and she left the card in the slot. Some of the major hotel chains also do that to save money. The restaurant was great. The food was also very good. My granddaughter was not a big fan of some of the food, as many other teenagers. I want to point out the great things the restaurant staff personnel who went above and beyond to make us comfortable. Nicole would take excellent care of us during breakfast and Gunjeeta our night server also did a fabulous job serving us dinner. Well, if you want to experience the possible poltergeist events, ask for the King Charles room.

The restaurant servers Nichol and Gunjati (sp?) were wonderful in accommodating some special needs. Friendly, patient and exceptional service. A pleasure to be a guest here.

Lovely stay here for the night with my missus food was okay and the bedrooms were nice

Good and friendly staff and great food nothing seems too much trouble

A lovely tiny hotel Cosy environment Kindly Staff And quite neighborhood.

Table booked for 6 in the restaurant, we were the only customers present. Took almost 1 hour for the 1st course to arrive. Main courses came out at different times. We had to keep asking when various dishes would be served. Will never grace this establishment again. I felt the service was totally geared to the pub area to the detriment of the restaurant.

A fantastic example of how you would expect a traditional hotel to be.

The server behind the bar with the blonde hair piece made no eye contact with me whilst I ordered. Just told me the price of the bill and ignored me. I even made an attempt to speak with her. Next she was out smoking like she was the bees knees. Such a shame as it really makes the place miserable. Go somewhere else with nice staff.

Splendid. All round good service from Gunjeeta. I came with my bunch of hockey players. We will be here next time also for 3 more times

My mother was recently admitted to the ICU in Hillingdon Hospital with a very serious and sudden illness. My father and I do not live in London (he lives in Canada and I live in Southampton) and we picked The Red Lion Hotel as it was within walking distance to the hospital and had immediate availability. It was a choice made at random from a google search but we could not have made a better decision. My mother’s condition was very uncertain and over the next 3 weeks there were many ups and downs. Every few days my father was due to check out and had to ask the front desk if he could stay a couple more. I shuttled back and forth between London and Southampton, sometimes on my own and sometimes with 2 small children, booking rooms last minute each time as updates came in from the doctor. Through all of this the entire staff were incredibly kind and compassionate, and more than accommodating of our constantly changing plans. They went above and beyond to make a very difficult time as easy as possible, especially for my father who was so far from home. The proximity to the Red Lion Pub was an added bonus, after long afternoons/evenings spent visiting the ICU we did not need to think about where to find something to eat, the pub was right next door with excellent food and service. I highly recommend a stay at the Red Lion Hotel, whether for family holidays (the very large family room with bunk beds was a big hit with the 2 and 5 year olds) or for visits to in-patients at Hillingdon Hospital. My sincerest thank you to the entire staff.

Went with friends for lunch. We chose the Christmas menu, 2 course. We had a drink in the bar before hand. Staff pleasant and helpful. Bar and restaurant clean and well laid out. I feel the visit was let down by the food. Certainly didn't have the 'home cooked' feel about it and not worth the money. Food brought in from elsewhere and warmed up by chef Mike.

Cosy warm, nice atmosphere. Nice location, parking was fine. Decent choice of drinks. Would return, maybe give dinner a try.

Indifferent bar person - older lady - very unwelcoming - basically barked at us to get a table number first - ordered one fish & chips was told there wasn’t any - had to chose something else - then overheard said bar person talking loudly with other bar staff saying there were 4 portions left (cod) ???? Obviously we weren’t allowed one?. 2 of the lunches arrived - 3rd took about 10 min wait there was an apology from wait staff. Staff bitching about working there… Is never a great look. Shame as we would have used regularly - we won’t be going again.

It's a great place for great food in lovely surroundings. We had particularly good service from Gunjeeta. Thank you!

An IT meltdown at LHR led us to this gem of a hotel. After having our flight canceled along with hoards of people, we took a chance by picking this hotel based on its Booking.com rating. From the moment we walked through the door, our stay far exceeded our expectations. Hotel staff had no way to anticipate the onslaught of stranded travelers, but we were promptly issued a room. The room was basic, clean and well-appointed. The pub served breakfast. The staff gave us explicit directions to the bus (a short walk away) into Uxbridge where we were able to catch the tube to London the following day. Our dinner was excellent. I had delicious fish and chips and spouse had the shepherd's pie. There was an interesting selection of beers, ciders and wine. I would recommend reservations as it seems very popular. The staff seemed up for every challenge from all the unexpected guests, to getting cabs (don't wait until the last minute) and providing accurate accounts. All in all, a wonderful stay.

As usual high standard of quality lunch and we were served by Gunjeeta who was were friendly and professional. She was a step head with her service.

As always, what might look like a simple menu is always pleasantly and extremely well cooked, tasty, beautiful ingredients and impeccably presented and served. Gunjeeta was a first class host, well mannered, warm, knowledgeable and made our little girl feel pampered with her personal touch. Don’t lose your specialness Red Lion. Keep it up, as you are worth the extra. Best regards to the chef xx

Would definitely stay again. Good facilities and helpful staff. Fresh milk in the fridge.. fabulous!

Good foods live like Indian and Sri Lankan and good hospitality by James & gunjeeta.Stay was nice. Lovely place, highly recommend this place

This is a beautiful old world pub that offers plenty of character and in the main warm and friendly staff. Most notably were the reception team on our arrival that explained most politely that our rooms were having new locks fitted as part of a refurb and as such were not quite ready. We were immediately given a voucher for a complimentary drink each as a result. We had a very nice meal whilst waiting and the rooms were ready within half an hour of our arrival. When we returned in the evening the welcome from the barmaid was less than welcoming as she complained of having to mind the bar alone, was rude when asked what snacks were available and complained about having to prepare a round of drinks as she was 'Finishing in nine minutes to catch her bus home and didn't care what happened to the bar after'. Thankfully once shed left Dan the night porter was most helpful so much so we decided to book breakfast at the pub. The breakfast was very good as was the service from the young waitress who was very attentive. The pub is ideally located for Pinewood studios where we attended a function and is a short Uber ride away. The rooms are clean and comfortable and all but one member of staff, very friendly and accommodating.

Lovely pub with excellent food however the one thing they most certainly go right is employing Gunjeeta. She was amazing - she could teach Customer Service as a living - she was exception. Nothing was too much bother, she went above and beyond . The Red Lion is lucky to her

2nd visit this month on Sat night.. 2 bar staff; both friendly with their fave customers, but shocking indifference the rest of us. Snapped at my friend for asking about the range of ciders. Served my wine from a can. Had over 40 gins, but oddly no Gordon's London Dry gin My 2nd round, she chirpily served a customer before me with a HUGE order, then turned to me with no smile or apology that I'd waited 7 mins for service, the pushed the card reader at me with no words. Nice touch. Place was chilly too, not just the service. The pub itself is beautiful though, pars of which date back to 26th century.

My wife and I stayed here on a Sunday prior to next day flight to South Africa, we had been warned of the likelyhood of snow 10 days before that did not materialise. The night before we received a phone call from the hotel to inform us that the oven had failed therefore no roast meals would be available on the Sunday - we agreed to continue. We arrived checked in on the afternoon, staff very pleasant hotel/pub very quiet, pleased with the room we went to the bar and had a complimentary drink, went to watch the england rugby but being outside was very chilly even with heater on so returned to room at half time. We went for our evening meal and ordered off the main menu i chose the rack of lamb which was cooke and presented very nicely but was not really filling, again the staff very attentive in an almost empty restaurant. Breakfast was very good. Overall it was okay feel not having the roast available it had probably lost its local regulars and therefore its atmosphere so i can only report as was on our visit.

I could simply write a list of all the things that are simply lovely about our stay this weekend at this "lovely" hotel but as that would be boring I think it's enough to say that from the warm welcome from the friendly manager to every meal we ate, delicious dinner in the restaurant, tasty bar snack returning victorious from Wembley and the gorgeous breakfasts we were treated so well by every member of staff and nothing really was too much trouble for them. The Fuller's beer is great too. This is a well run excellent hotel, the rooms are "lovely' too! Comfy bed, hot shower/bath even down to a tiny bottle of fresh milk in the fridge,( it's not an infuriating plastic carton sort of place), we loved staying there and will be back.

Absolutely shocking service, awful wait time and not great food. We waited an hour for our drinks and the evening got worse. A vodka and coke came in two different glasses as it's not their policy to mix the two together!!! The fish was burnt...

We stayed here yesterday as we were going to London to watch Phantom of the Opera and didn’t want to stay in London on this occasion. 45 mins on the train from Uxbridge. Hotel is an absolute tardis and was pretty much fully booked so...

Fantastic start to our holiday flying from Heathrow. Really good food, well cooked and presented. Waiting staff in restaurant were great, attentive and very hard working.

we picked this place for being in middle of going to airport and wembley stadium. it was in a nice neighborhood and very pretty with nice history. Our room was 307 which is a special historic room with a lovely four poster bed and beautiful...

delicious fresh food and well presented - great service and choice. We loved it. Also the price is reasonable

I keep returning to this place as it is conveniently located near work. good quality food, lovely ambience , excellent customer service especially with the new management. Keep up the good work !

Had dinner for 2 last night. Despite it being busy, the food quality was outstanding and service exceptional. Highly recommended. Gary H

Visited the pub and restaurant a few times last week as we were staying in an Air bnb close by. The food was fantastic, nice variety for us all. I had one of the best steaks I have had for a long time here. Kids...
