the red lion hotel at hawkshaw in Bury - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The accommodation suited our purpose and we'd stay again. Being there on a Friday & Saturday the noise from the bar was a slight inconvenience until closing time for one of our party.

This isn’t the first time we have been here, but the first where the food was not good. The beef Sunday lunch was poor, the meat was chewy and full of fat, very little gravy too, and nobody bothered to ask how the food was. Whilst we will probably return, we definitely won’t be having the beef, a new butcher is required. And more care from the chef.

Today I took my daughter, son & young grandaughter for Afternoon Tea to celebrate my daughters birthday. Previously booked, no mention that drinks not included in price, or on website, we were seated & asked what drinks we would like, Tea, coffee, soft drink, only Prosecco was mentioned as extra Drinks arrived, 2 small bottles Fanta , coffee & decaff tea Sandwich were nice but cakes were mostly shop bought, unfortunately no child version so had to pay for a 4th adult tea, also only 3 small scones came so had to ask for a 4th. Bill was an extra £12.75 for drinks. Not sure how you can advertise Afternoon Tea & charge for tea/ coffee without any former notification. Slightly disappointed to say the least 🥲

Not a good experience I'm afraid! The meal was average, the service rough and ready, and we were hurried through our sweet because they wanted our table. We have never had a problem before but sadly we won't be returning here again.

Booked at short notice after reading other reviews and what a credit to J W Lees brand made to feel very welcome from the start to the finish of my stay. The atmosphere in the bar was good, the food was very good my room was perfect. If you looking for somewhere to stay in this area I would highly recommend the Red Lion and book the breakfast as it is worth every penny.

Definitely coming back in the summer when it's not raining. Family room was perfect, with a dividing curtain. Beautiful furniture and soft linen.

Fantastic place with good food brilliant ambience. Staff couldn’t do enough for you. Trained up really efficiently and worked effectively. The Sunday roast is so well cooked tasteful and sufficiently hearty. Well presented. Care and attention to the customer is top notch. Well done :)

Good old fashioned pub. Great atmosphere Accommodation in a small but cosy, quiet room. Good range of beer and ales Excellent breakfast. would return again

Food good Rooms clean and comfy Staff friendly Beer cold What more do you need? Fantastic value. An excellent stay.

Went for a mini-break at the Red Lion - nice drive out in the country. Very happy with the food, drinks, accommodation and the friendly team.

Last minute Sunday lunch. Chose here as never been before. The staff and service was extremely good and the food was out of this world. Will definitely be going again.

Great stay lovely food at dinner & breakfast very comfortable rooms. Excellent service. Good location

Ate here with friends and enjoyed a gorgeous Sunday lunch. I'm always worried about eating out on a Sunday as I think we can make better at home. But the red lion did not disappoint! I had roast turkey and the meat was such good...

What a lovely place! It oozes kerb-side appeal, and has plenty of parking too. The pub itself was really well decorated and had such a friendly atmosphere, and we received a really warm welcome. We stayed in room 4 which was such a lovely room....

A perfect Afternoon Tea. Generous filled sandwiches, prawn & mayo, cheese & chutney, beef & horseradish and ham & mustard (definitely no wafer thin ham here!). An assortment of sweet treats, the brownie was rich & decadent and the mini Eton mess just lovely. A...

Warm welcoming staff. Great surroundings. We had pre ordered our food as it was Christmas and it was delivered quickly. Great portion sizes and all delicious. Brilliant service from the staff. No mass catering. Excellent value for money. Really enjoyable experience.

We eat here regularly and always have good service but last week the waitresses really excelled. The restaurant was full with big and small groups celebrating Christmas so the ladies serving were kept very busy. The waitress who served us took four different orders without...

We called off chance and were shown to a table straight away, wine list is really good and the menu especially the lunch menu a good choice , we both plumped for soup of the day and steak pie. The service and food was amazing...

Stayed here to be close to an early business meeting. Definitely recommended. Large car park right next to red lion. Easy access to hotel. Decent beers and a good meal. Breakfast in the conservatory was just right.

Very comfortable hotel. Nice bar and restaurant. Food was lovely. Some great staff. Knocked 1 mark off service for a passive aggressive waitress - everyone else was amazing.

If you're travelling for business, leave the corporate hotels and try to support the pubs with rooms around the UK. The food quality and choice here are fantastic and reasonably priced, and the staff are always fantastic. Everything is cooked to order, including the breakfast...

Went for the 3 course lunch deal - fantastic food and value. I had lamb scrumpets to start, sea bass for main and parkin for dessert all gorgeous- the parkin was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend.

Nice eatery ,hotel. we enjoyed our meal we had the light bite which was plenty ,did think that the chips may of been frozen but at least good quality

Went on the wine dine and duvet great value for money.. However we were renewing our wedding vows prior to check in. Unfortunately no personal service or acknowledgement of a special occasion.. Rooms were standard average b&b

Everything we wanted and desired, apart from the smell and noise of dogs cluttering the place. It .does't sit well with hygiene in a food area when dogs are seen pawing the tables and licking there bits. Please consider a more strictly controlled area that...

Well placed for a visit to Tatton show and Bridgewater, the traffic didn’t help but you can’t do anything about that. Friendly greeting and quick check in.

This is a great little pub/restaurant with nice, well appointed rooms. The food is fantastic with lots of choice at reasonable prices. Large on-site free parking also. Certainly beats the large hotels in terms of atmosphere and facilities.

Overall property was great, room was fantastic and excellent value for money. Only disappointment was that the kitchen closes at 6pm on Sunday which meant I couldn't have an evening meal at the property itself which would have been my preference. Otherwise fantastic and would...
