Visited the Red Lion for a Sunday Roast! You will not be disappointed! Walked in and the fireplace was burning, filling the room with the smell of a proper open fire! The menu is full of choices and we couldn’t resist the nibble section and trying the pork crackling and beef dripping popcorn! 👌🏼 You have a choice of beef, pork, chicken or vege for the roast and it comes with all the trimmings so all you have to add is a side dish of cauliflower and cheese! Shame I didn’t take photos! Will be back! 👍🏼

Held my husbands 40th birthdate here last weekend which was a surprise, had approx. 40 people. Was a great night lots of space and felt like it was just us in there as the area was away from the main bar. Really well put on and the food was amazing, lots of guests commented on how good it was! Very reasonable prices too. Overall great night at a great venue. Thank you!

Worst experience of our UK family trip Unfortunately we had quite a bad experience at this hotel. We asked for a travel cot for our baby and were given a cot with no mattress and instead of it they put a folded duvet. We did not realise this when we put him to sleep and in the middle of the night he woke up screaming as he ended up on the ground completely covered by the duvet. This is extremely unsafe and dangerous and the hotel staff should know better and pay attention as these are basic safety measure that should be known when preparing a bed for a baby. We were told breakfast started at 7.30 but there was no breakfast when we went downstairs at 7.40 and the staff refused to even let us grab a fruit for our child or a simple cup of coffee. The pub and the restaurant are nice but would not recommend this hotel for families with young children.

They even have games on site, which is a fun bonus. The staff were very friendly and made us feel right at home. The toilets were also impressively clean, which is always nice to see. Overall, it’s a fantastic spot for a relaxing drink, and I’ll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

The Red Lion has recently had a full refurbishment, it’s now looking so modern, clean and stylish. We live in Radlett and this is our local pub, since the refurb we’ve used it a lot more. The staff are really welcoming, it’s dog friendly and the food is great. We went on Sunday for a roast and we were really pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meals. It was reasonably priced too (have included photo of our receipt). We’ll be back! Well done Red Lion for turning this pub around and making a local we’re proud to have on our doorstep

The hotel is stunning. The eclectic furniture set up and whole ambience of the building is like a breath of fresh air. The outside terrace though large is divided in such a way that you can still retain some privacy within your group. The rooms were designed and decorated to a very high standard. The beds are extremely comfortable as are the pillows. When we arrived we were greeted by a very friendly member of staff (apologies I didn't get his name) who was training a new member of staff. He was both polite and helpful to us and the new starter which I found extremely reassuring. I was particularly impressed by the little touches such as many clean dog bowls, beds and a large array of children's things ready to hand. (We had neither in our group but very handy to know. Breakfast was absolutely fantastic. With a wide range of options to choose from. It was cooked and presented very well. I would throughly recommend staying at this hotel

This review is for the Pub and not the Hotel! I recently hosted my husband's 50th birthday at this venue, and I cannot express how thrilled we were with the experience! We booked before the renovations, and we were hopeful for positive changes. When we arrived on the big day, we were absolutely delighted with what we found. The new room setup was fantastic! It encouraged a relaxed atmosphere, allowing for ample seating and giving guests the opportunity to mingle freely. People loved "playing musical chairs" throughout the evening, moving around to chat with different friends and family. This layout truly facilitated conversation, making the event even more enjoyable than we had anticipated. The food was also a highlight—fresh and delicious! Each dish was thoughtfully prepared, adding to the overall enjoyment of the evening. A special shoutout to Paul and Dan, who were incredible hosts. From the moment we arrived, they were attentive and supportive, ensuring everything ran smoothly. The timing of the food service was impeccable, which contributed to the overall success of the evening. The only downside was that we hadn’t realized the venue was dog-friendly, so our dog missed out on the fun. I highly recommend this venue for any event! With its location so close to the station, it makes access easy. The renovations have made a significant positive impact, and the staff's dedication to customer service is truly commendable. Thank you for making my husband's milestone birthday so memorable!

I celebrated a birthday here recently and Dan, Paul and the team of staff could not have been more friendly and accommodating - they were truly wonderful. From my initial dealings with Carolyn, all the way through to the day itself they were kind, reasonable and communicative. The private room was ideal - a good size for the amount of guests attending, light and and airy, with plenty of seating. They also welcomed dogs - even putting out a dog bed and water bowls, which was such a lovely touch. The location is brilliant as it's just opposite the station which made it easy for friends travelling from London. The food was fresh, tasty and hot, brought out every hour. All in all I was delighted and would highly recommend the Red Lion for similar occasions. Thank you to all!

Stayed at The Red Lion Friday evening till Tuesday morning. We had 2 rooms, a twin and a single. The rooms were cosy, clean and comfortable. Lovely easy to use shower, fluffy white towels and assorted toiletries if you forget yours. Bottled water, snacks, coffee machine, hot chocolate and selection of teas are available. There was even an iron, ironing board and hairdryer in my room. Lots of room for clothes to be hung up. Had a breakfast and an evening meal which was tasty, hot and came quickly, our friends joined us for the evening meal which they also enjoyed. My party had fish and chips, burger, plant burger and two portions of sausage and mash, everyone left a clean plate! All the staff were friendly and helpful from cases being carried up to our rooms, extra towels provided, no rushing but attentive waiting staff, always a ‘hello, morning, enjoy your day and lots of smiles as we left the hotel for the day or when we returned. We was made to feel really welcome and had sad faces when it was time to come home. Would definitely recommend and can’t wait to visit again! Thankyou Red Lion XXX

Six of us went there for dinner, the order was taken and 1 hour later I asked the waitress how much longer and she looked shocked and ran off ,The manager came to our table apollogized and said she had forgotten to put it through . So we had to wait another hour before it came out . then we ordered dessert apple crumble and custard the little jug they brought out had what looked like milk in it ? I asked what it was and was told they made some sort of mixture with egg as they didn't have custard !!! I explained I was allergic to eggs and they should not just serve anything they want without telling us first .or ask us for an alternative. So I asked for ice cream instead . The whole dinner experience was a complete disaster we waited 2 hours to eat we will not be recommending this pub to any one or coming back Even after the manager gave us a free drink each It did not compensate the bad service we had . I only gave 1 star for service but it's showing 5 stars that's rubish it won't let me change it so its 0 stars as far as im concerned .

I booked a table of 15 for the family to get together for a Christmas meal and we were seated on a beautiful large table in the dining area with beautiful christmas decorations and a lovely tree. It was exactly the atmosphere i was hoping for. The menu choice was sufficient and the haddock was absolutely divine. I had the sausage and mash which was lovely and my sister in law had the steak which she said was very good! The service was amazing the staff made sure to check on us regularly offering drinks etc. All in all it was a wonderful evening and all of the family agreed that it was a lovely relaxed, festive pub and a great choice made by me! It was a lot of pressure choosing the correct location but I think I pulled it off! The bill was incredibly reasonable considering its location. Thank you red lion for a wonderful service.

We had a delightful breakfast experience with a delicious vegetarian meal that was not greasy. The chef prepared our food quickly, and the avocado & egg toast was particularly enjoyable. The sourdough was crispy and not chewy, and the avocado mash had a perfect balance of flavors without being too sour or citrusy. It would be great if they showcased some food pictures outside to attract more customers and compete with other breakfast restaurants on the high street.

Having booked a birthday breakfast online for my friend at 7am we arrived promptly to an empty dining room and a pre-occupied waitress. When I announced that I had booked yesterday (and later confirmed with a phone call) I asked where we should sit to be told ‘No chef today I don’t know when he arrives’ My friend and I stood in disbelief discussed our options for a few minutes to then be told he had arrived. We decided to stay - ordered quickly - drinks arrived promptly - a pot of tea and cartoned orange juice albeit fresh orange juice was ordered. Despite being the only diners the 2 meals (variations of scrambled eggs) took until 7.45am to arrive I kept asking the waitress where the food was to be told it was coming but she didn’t check and we could see her constantly counting money in the till when the food eventually arrived it was tepid at best - it had clearly been standing in the kitchen whilst the waitress faffed about - we had to eat quickly as we were unable to gain access to the Red Lion car park and local restrictions started at 8am. When the bill came I enquired if everything was okay given the disastrous service - this was received by a list of problems the waitress had including why she had not slept well the night before. A more realistic Faulty Towers Experience you will not receive in all of Herts!

Just come back from having Sunday lunch . I must be completely honest the Sunday roast was not was not the best roast we have had. The roasts we ordered came up and they were not hot. Like warm. We sent them back and another roast came up. Still not that hot. I don't know if it were me but the roast potatoes tasted as if they had been frozen and just heated or if they had been cooked earlier and just reheated in the microwave. On the up side, the staff were friendly. Sorry for this negative review but I really don't think we will be returning and I would not consider recommending people to go there.

No Sunday beef dinner wasted so much time waiting to be seated and then ordered drinks thinking they would go with lunch only to be told after we ordered it and waited that they had sold out. It would have been better to have told us before we ordered drinks as ordered to go with meal. We decided to go and have Sunday dinner somewhere else. Said I would pay for drinks but only half a beer as my partner was driving to be told I will have to check with Manager. With just a glass of red wine and half a beer charged a whopping £12.90 Apart from one large party the rest of restaurant was empty.

In the heart of the town, a gem I've found, A pub called "The Red Lion," where joy abound. With five stars in my heart, I sing its praise, In poetic verse, I'll share the wondrous days. Beneath the sign adorned with regal might, I stepped inside and found a warm, soft light. A cozy haven from life's daily grind, "The Red Lion" is a treasure I'm inclined to find. The atmosphere, a blend of old and new, With history's touch in every shade and hue. The wooden beams, a time-worn tale they weave, In cozy corners, secrets they conceive. The bartenders, they pour with skill and grace, Their laughter echoing through the hallowed space. The ale and lagers, a connoisseur's delight, With each sip, my spirit takes its flight. The menu, a symphony of tastes divine, From classic pub grub to dishes so fine. Bangers and mash, a hearty, comforting feast, And seafood platters, a flavorful beast. The patrons, a diverse and friendly lot, In conversation, stories are often wrought. New friends and old, the laughter's free, In "The Red Lion," the soul finds glee. Live music's tune, a sweet, melodious song, To the rhythm of life, we all belong. The Red Lion's heart beats strong and true, A place where dreams and memories brew. So raise a glass to this pub so grand, "The Red Lion," a gem in this great land. With five stars in my heart, I leave this review, A sanctuary of joy, where dreams come true.

If this place gets busier it can improve the service it was a bad night weather wise but this place deserves a chance. Very polite young man dealt with us and overall the meal was fine . Just a note the sausage and mash should have a quality onion gravy not onion rings.

On arrival there was a terrible smell of sewage/drains and our server explained that there was a problem in the basement and they were hoping it would soon be fixed. The smell lessened during the evening, but I guess we just got used to it! We had pre-booked our table for 6 people online for 7.30pm and were sat towards the back of the restaurant, near to the kitchen/service area which was fine as it was quiet. The table was clean but had an unpleasant stickiness to it. Several menu items were already unavailable which was disappointing. Our party had the asparagus risotto, curry goat chops and the last available portion of fish & chips. All dishes were tasty. Next to our table were 3-4 steps which the staff used as a launch pad to run & jump from throughout our meal. When we paid the bill I mention to our server how unpleasant this had been. He replied that the staff had been running past us to get to a food-tasting. I said I thought that was an excuse for their inappropriate & poor behaviour in their restaurant. He responded brusquely saying that it wasn't an excuse it was a 'fact'. His attitude was both arrogant and rude. We were all taken aback by his hostility and lack of an apology. Unfortunately, by this point, we had already paid the bill and I had personally spoken to him about adding an additional service payment for the staff who waited on our table......what a shame! We won't go back.

The young waiters were very attentive and bought everything we requested quickly and with no fuss. We were just surprised that there seemed to be so few other diners, apart from one other party. It was great for us, we had a charming side room to ourselves and could happily hear everyone talk, that's a rare event in a restaurant these days.

We eat at the Red Lion twice a week during the week and the food is excellent, especially the chicken escalope. We decided to have Sunday Lunch as the food is so good. What a disappointment, my wife had beef cooked medium and it was like rubber, she could not eat it. The manager was very good and changed it for a chicken pie. I had pork and it was ok 4/10. I am afraid we will not be going back for Sunday Lunch again.

Stayed at the hotel for 5 nights. Very comfortable and clean. Staff went above and beyond to help us. Location was perfect. Close to train station and easy to get into London. Would highly recommend this place and would stay there again when visiting London.

Exactly £10 for a pint of Neck Oil and a small glass of Diet Coke. More expensive than the Cow at Westfield shopping centre Stratford and pubs in the City. Outrageous profiteering. No doubt the manager will reply trying to discredit an honest observation.

This is a great place to stay outside of London but with quick access into the city. The staff were all lovely, we took our dog and they were brilliant with her. There was a bed, blanket and bowls for her in the room. The room had air con which was much appreciated. There is a lovely outdoor seating area at the front to enjoy a drink and inside the pub there are lots of different cosy areas to sit. We had dinner which was very good, rump steak with proper chips. We didn't have breakfast as we had to get away early. All in all a fantastic place to stay and we will definitely return.

Great experience and food. The service was great and was well looked after for all 6 of us. One of the hostesses Emma was exceptional. Her knowledge of wine and food was really good 😀😀

My boyfriend and I had our joint 50th birthday bash at The Red Lion in Radlett. We cannot thank the staff enough, they were incredible and everyone raved about the 'fish and chips' they said they were 'soooo delicious '! We really did have a wonderful evening. Thank you x

I booked the Aldenham Room in the Red Lion pub in Radlett for my Birthday party recently. The room was perfect for my group of 30 guests and the staff were so helpful and accommodating. Big shout out to Emma for looking after us so well - she couldn’t have been nicer. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Red Lion. We were able to play our own music and the food was amazing. We had a great night and will definitely book again in the future

Had a little gathering here last night, really nice atmosphere, there was a big party going on as well and the staff and service was still great, no long waits due how busy there were. Food was delicious. Highly recommended.

Had such a wonderful Mother's Day lunch today. The staff were extremely friendly and efficient and I thought it was a lovely touch to be offered a glass of bubbly and a flower for the occasion( wasn't expecting that!) It's also a place that is very welcoming for children and dogs. All in all a great experience, Thank you very much!

We enjoyed a fabulous weekend stay at the Red Lion. Simona and Silviu were incredibly warm, welcoming and attentive. We very much enjoyed the food (breakfast and dinner) and the comfortable surroundings. All in all, a great pub in a fantastic location - perfect for hopping on a train into central London and also for visiting the nearby Harry Potter Studios.

Had a lovely breakfast, continental was laid out to help yourself, but we also ordered a cooked breakfast too. The waitress was extremely helpful and even went to the local store to see if they had any black pudding as the hotel had run out. Really great service and the food was really good too.

A basic pub. The food was served very quickly and was piping hot. Excellent value for money if you want a quick meal but not somewhere to linger, in my opinion.

We came to the fish and chips shop obviously for some fish and chips and we got what we ordered. Service was slightly slow, but what do you expect from a friendly and talkative cashier. It's a small business and is rarely busy.

Very understaffed as usual - Every time I come here with my Daughter I have to wait 5 minutes+ in the entrance just to be acknowledged, and the staff seem very oblivious to anything that’s going on in the restaurant. Serious management is needed in this place. I don’t expect much of the Food here, however it’s getting progressively worse. Won’t be coming again.

Lovely service, everything was prompt and the waiter was on point with everything. I dislike unnecessarily waiting for service, food or the bill. But it was a super fast service and we left very satisfied.
