The Red Lion Inn in South Staffordshire

We come here every Wednesday for lunch, fabulous service, outstanding food, we look forward to eating here every week.

Two friends and I made a booking for a lunchtime meal at The Red Lion today and I simply had to send an email to them in praise of the excellent food and service. I commented to the lady behind the bar about the nut roast which I had chosen - not being vegeterian, but thought I would give it a try - it was excellent with lovely side vegetables. My friends both had fish dishes and commented on how lovely they were too. The presentation was excellent so compliments to the chef (and certainly to the lady who made the nut roast who I was told was not on-site - I said I would love the recipe). We treated ourselves to puddings too with both of us opting for the cherry pie and ice-cream and our other friend going for sticky toffee pudding with butterscotch sauce and a scoop of vanilla ice-cream - again all excellently presented and very tasty. There were not many people in the restaurant, but we were not rushed when we stayed longer than other diners. We had a lovely time and it was a wonderful dining experience.

Our meals were first class. The staff were attentive without being intrusive. Lovely restaurant with an interesting menu . Will definitely return

Don't know why I have not been before.. amazing food reasonably priced friendly service and lovely staff. Fantastic beer garden too. Will definitely be going back more often

Absolutely wonderful. Starters and mains. Service was also excellent and prices reasonable. Monk Fish curry was ace. Would definitely have again

Visited today with a coach party. The food was excellent. Staff lovely, friendly and helpful. Everyone enjoyed the visit. Well-done to everyone at the pub.

Excellent food - the confit duck and Cajun chicken. Service was friendly. Good value for money. Will definitely visit again.

Myself, Dad and family have just experienced the most wonderful,helpful and considerate over night stay at The Red Lion, Mark very kindly assisted me with my elderly Father and all the staff went over and above to make our stay one of the best. Hotel rooms , clean and comfortable perfect for their use, lovely bathrooms spotless . We all had full English breakfast , hot and very tasty, plentiful tea, coffee ,toast , the lovely lady who served our breakfast was very attentive . Would not hesitate to stay here again , pub and area was lovely .

I stayed at the Red Lion for 2 nights. Travelling on my own, as I was on a training course in Wombourne. Easy parking in the big car park. Check in was super easy, the room was basic, but had everything you could need. It was super clean, and so was the en-suite bathroom. The bed was comfortable and the room nice and quiet. I felt safe. Night one I ate in the restaurant. The food was excellent and the staff really welcoming and friendly. Breakfast was really good, the choice was great and agin the staff were really friendly. It rained a lot on night 2 and there were local floods, and I panicked about not making it to my training course, but again the staff at breakfast were really helpful and reassuring. If i am ever out that way again and need to stop I would definitely book again. Thank you 🤩

Not been here since they had a tank then fire engine children were a lot younger then it has undergone a massive refurbishment over the years but still retains it’s country charm food was excellent staff were very friendly and efficient really enjoyed the experience will be back soon I would highly recommended the red lion .

We went for a birthday Sunday lunch. Nine of us. We have never had a bad meal. Not one single complaint. We asked to see the chef, Matt. We spoke with him about the meal and pudding we had. Four of us had the bread and butter pudding with custard. We all said it was the best BB read and butter pudding we had ever had. The service is always perfect. Very competitive prices too.

Absolutely delicious lunch here! One of the party had the fillet steak and he said it was the best steak he's ever eaten! Service was brilliant and accommodating (and over and above) for our toddler

Elvis Tribute night, great night had by all. Lovely food, great entertainment, memories made with friends.

9 of us met here for our annual Christmas lunch and we all agreed it was the best lunch we have had for a long time Most of us had the Turkey dinner which was excellent, the turkey was perfectly cooked with all the trimmings and plenty of veg, only small complaint was the carrots were a bit undercooked for me,the general feeling was it was the best Christmas dinner at a restaurant that we had had Christmas pudding also excellent Considering how very busy they were the service was spot on as were all the lovely staff especially so the manager Well done to all at the Red Lion we will definitely all be back in the new year

What can I say about the red lion, absolutely unbelievable food!, amazing service and extremely well priced!, couldn’t think of anywhere better to go, and a special mention for Ell who is honestly the best, she always gives 10/10 service ,if 10 stars were possible to leave I would

Held my wife`s 80th dinner party here with 26 guests. All 26 had a fantastic meal , all served at the same time together with the drinks order . The night went without a hitch and we were all well looked after and would recommend the Red Lion for a party of any size .

Simply outstanding !!! Atmosphere superb,staff so welcoming & efficient & the food was superb Will be returning very soon Well done to all & keep it up

This is one of the best pubs in the area for food and has been for some time. Consistently good. I had kedgeree for main, beautifully cooked smoked haddock, not mixed with the rice, with a mild curry sauce and shredded carrot. Baileys tiramisu for pud, which was great although could have done with more Baileys. But that’s just me! Service was a tad sloppy with orders forgotten but I can forgive that with pub grub so good. Everyone else’s looked great too, Sunday roasts, pasta, duck. In the past people might have thought this place was a touch pricey but everywhere else seems to have caught up in price. Worth going out of your way for.

This was our second visit and this place is a MUST if you want excellent well presented food by friendly staff. The atmosphere is also excellent. And to go along with all this they have some cracking real ales. The Enville Ale especially was beautiful. We will be back soon.

Four of us (two couples) stayed at the Red Lion for two nights over the weekend. We visited the Glass Museum in Stourbridge, the Rock Houses and Iron Age fort at Kinver Edge, the local airport, and Halfpenny Green vineyard. We dined and breakfasted here on both days. The rooms were very clean and on a par with a Hilton hotel, the shower was excellent, and the full English breakfast amazing. Dinner on both nights was superb, with friendly and attentive service, and a great choice of food from various cuisines from English cod or skate, chips and peas, through Levantine monkfish with cous cous, to a variety of vegan and grilled steaks. We had wine and other drinks on both nights, and the bill came to less than £175 per head for the whole weekend. Amazing value.

Nice welcome, large seating area so we didn’t feel squashed in. Fairly large menu which is well priced, great food and good service.

I visited the Red Lion with 6 work colleagues for a special occasion. The pub was chosen due to its proximity to Halfpenny Green golf course and from several excellent recommendations. It certainly didn’t disappoint. The pub is situated in a small village just outside Stourbridge with ample parking to the side. It has a restaurant and a separate bar area where there were a few locals enjoying a drink after work . There is a pool table and a dart board if you fancy having a game whilst you’re there. There is a pleasant outdoor garden / seating area and they apparently have 6 guest bedrooms. We began our evening with a few drinks in the well kept garden area , then went inside to peruse the menu. The menu is varied and offers everything from steak, fish, vegetarian and even vegan dishes. I had the tempora battered prawns as a starter and a medium rare fillet steak for the main. The food was presented beautifully, cooked to perfection and tasted absolutely delicious. We could not fault it at all. Everyone said their food was great and it was served quickly without fuss. I really don’t think there were any leftovers on our plates, so that says a lot. The staff were lovely and the evening was just brilliant. I would say that the price of the food and drink is reasonable but not cheap. The boss paid for us all this time but I would happily go again and pay for myself . Perhaps for a special occasion, not an every day meal out at the pub as it’s not what you call pub grub. It’s better than that.

A wonderful stay again. Lovely room with great amenities. Staff are all cheerful and friendly and happy to help with anything. Breakfasts are absolutely delicious and even when my son asked if he could have pancakes (not on the menu) they sorted it out for him for the next 2 days which made him so happy. We hope very much to be able to go back again next year.

Thank you to all at The Red Lion for making our recent stay so enjoyable. From check-in to check-out the staff and management were so welcoming and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The meals and rooms were excellent and we would stay there again without any hesitation whatsoever.

Just had a fabulous weekend staying at the Red Lion. The staff were wonderful they made us feel so welcome, always smiling and nothing was too much trouble. We also ate dinner in the dining room on the two nights we were staying and the food was wonderful excellently cooked and excellently served. The breakfast was also a great start to the day lovely selection and beautifully cooked and presented. Altogether a great stay I would highly recommend it

Just stayed 4 nights at the Red Lion Inn which was first class in every respect. A group of us go there every year tc play local golf courses. The Red Lion Inn is an ideal place for you to do this. The management and staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly and the food in the restaurant is magnificent.

Hadn't been for a few years as we live 30 + miles away. Went for a family dinner. Blown away by the food and service. Best steak pie i have ever had !

Booked for Sunday lunch, this place is simply lovely and the roast beef lunch was amazing. The staff were very attentive and professional, we have already rebooked for an evening visit

Stayed 2 nights DB&B with golf friends. Great place to stay. The rooms are good. The food was excellent. An interesting menu and all nicely cooked. Breakfast superb both the choice and quality. Bar excellent and the staff were all very friendly all for a reasonable price. Lovely outdoor area if the weather is nice. Lots of car parking too. All in all, no complaints whatsoever and I would definitely stay again if in the area.

Popped in for a few light bites today. They were absolutely amazing in quality and presentation. The Enville wasn't too shabby either!!!

Beware . The menu on the website is totally different to the one in the pub. We were very disappointed with the choices. Only one steak and very expensive, no gammon or chicken dishes which would be expected in a pub menu. The chips are...

Very inconsistent with the menu and the quality of food. There’s a couple of lovely dishes but 50/50 if you can enjoy them

We visited here for a family reunion after a break of 2 years. There were 2 tables of 6 of us. The food was lovely and the service was quick. The staff were so friendly and made our reunion so pleasant. Thank you .

Visited the pub on Saturday 12/9 to celebrate our daughters birthday. We had an amazing evening, good beer. Good food served by excellent staff. Many thanks♨️♨️♨️♨️

Had a very pleasant evening . Staff first class and attentive. Food 5*. The beer battered cod is to die for Will definitely return.

We come from walsall and we drive down to the red lion every couple of weeks just for a drink and it's the bestest pub to go to. Staff are very lovley and welcoming and polite. Amazing service every single time we come!! I wish we lived closer I'd be there every single day!! Also they have a fab selection of gins!! Thank you & we will see you again soon! Xx

We were a party of 8 family members. From the off the staff were amazing. I am in a wheelchair and the staff couldn’t do enough to assist us all evening. The food was first class and again staff could not be any more attentive. We were made to feel so comfortable. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough. We have been several times and will be returning very soon.Paul Jackie and family

Went here for dinner and took advantage of the steak night offer that they had on. 2 steaks and a bottle of wine for £29, which is good value. Service was very good and the place was full. Would recommend and return

Again we had a fantastic meal, have been before many times, have yet to be disappointed, good value for money and friendly service quick and efficient, the steaks are great, fantastic place to eat, they deserve to do well, highly recommended, you may need to book

We visited the Red Lion last night and had a warm welcome. The food was excellent together with the excellent service from Ellie would recommend this place as one of the best in the area

11th dec2019 held our Xmas Quiz here. Only one word to describe our visit FANTASTIC 30 people attended. The staff were incredible serving all of us with delicious food. No waiting or delays. Nothing was to much trouble Thank you to Mark for making our day very special xxxxx

What can I say?! I booked my husband’s surprise 40th Birthday meal here for today for 28 people! The quality of the food (compliments to the chef),the outstanding service and amazing staff are second to none! They have done a fabulous job and made our day so very special. We can’t thank you enough. I would highly recommend the red lion to anyone, whether it’s for a cosy meal for two or a family meal. You are fabulous! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts xxx

Beautiful setting and very welcoming. We had the Sunday lunch which was excellent. The traditional puddings were irresistible! Well worth a visit.

Attended with friends. Varied menu with something to please everyone! I chose the King Prawn starter off the specials menu followed by the Mixed Grill. Both were excellent and value for money. The service was very good too! Recommended!

Evening meal starter and main course . Beautiful and presented on the plate piping hot . Steak and fish and chips were perfect , large portions money well spent .

We have been to the Red Lion 4 or 5 times recently and the cote de boeuf was either sold out or not on the menu. Finally cracked it last night, welll worth the wait. All of the food is good, choice of draught beers not so good as it used to be if you are into dark ales.

Where shall we take our two friends for a treat.We remembered the Red Lion as we had been many years before on a regular basis,but moved to Shropshire,to far away.

On arriving we were shown to a table that was a bit cramped and chairs had been added on the end of the table like we had been squeezed in although the table had been booked for some weeks. The menus were dumped in the middle of the table, every time someone walked past my husbands chair constantly got knocked. We ordered the starters which didn't all come out at the same time. Waited a while for the main course which also didn't come out together. 4 of the meals were cold served on cold plates, when we complained the staff seemed quite taken aback, the plates were taken back and changed there was no apology, the other members of our party continued to eat there meal while we waited for ours to come back. The replacement meals arrived and the staff made sure we had got everything we needed but still no apology. It was a celebratory 80th Birthday meal for the family which was very disappointing and my father in law ended up apologising to the staff for us sending the meals back.

Having visited here with friends and having a lovely meal I suggested returning with my family. We had booked a table and was shown to it. This is where we found the service stopped. I had to go and ask at the bar to have our order taken. Kind of got the feeling that if you weren't a regular you didn't get the same level of service. The food was delicious and this is what would make me return.

First time visit but won’t be the last, food was delicious and service was very good, only minutes between courses and everything was freshly cooked and the restaurant was full with every table occupied, good selection of drinks and I thoroughly enjoyed my rhubarb and ginger gin, you can also stay here as they have rooms which if they match the standard of the restaurant will be excellent and car parking was not a problem at all with plenty of spaces.

Came here travelling with work but I was made to feel very welcome the hotel is very clean. All of the staff were very helpful and friendly. Evie made sure you had everything you needed at breakfast which was superb as were the evening meals. I would definitely return when I’m in the area again. Thanks everyone

I stayed here for a couple of nights through work, it is one of the best hotels I've stayed at. I was made to feel very welcome by all of their staff, especially Evie.

An excellent location for our annual golf trip, fantastic courses all within easy reach. The Red Lion has an easy going and relaxed atmosphere, perfect for a large group of golfers. Very helpful and friendly staff, thanks Evie for the plasters...

Called in for a bite to eat, yet again the service was excellent, the food was very very good, we both had chicken, cooked different ways, really good, highly recommended

Always a warm welcome and great food. Wonderful pub. Great beer and gin and tonics with flair! Great service.

Dinner for six. Service was good, with a good selection of wines and beer. Food was reasonably priced and well prepared.

This was my first visit to the Red Lion and what a pleasant experience it was. Ample parking, welcoming, efficient, knowledgable staff and an interesting menu. The food was excellent and I particularly enjoyed the Thai salad. Will definitely go again. Highly recommended.

It has been some time since we last payed a visit to the Red Lion .Although it had always ben a good pub serving excellent food we like to try pastures new and thought it was about time we made a return visit.

Yet another very good meal never disappoints. It was extremely busy last night with quite a few big parties in but that did not reflect on the service or food.

Spent a great evening at the Red lion with 5 friends for a birthday celebration .I've been a few times but it was friends first time .I was pleased to report that they were all very impressed with the food, service and atmosphere . All the food was excellent The bread n butter pudding is outstanding.Well done .Hate the expression hidden gem so not going to use it.

We haven't visited for a long time but not really impressed.

I’m only writing this review because I sent an email the day after and still no reply.

We are a group of 9 golfers and have just spent four nights at the Red Lion in Bobbington playing local course including the fantastic two at Enville. Our stay at the Red Lion was excellent from beginning to end. The quality of the accommodation and food and drink was superb and very well priced. We were extremely impressed with the management and staff at the hotel. I don't think that I have ever been received so well and everyone was very friendly and helpful. The staff are a credit to the management and make this place a fantastic place to stay. The menu is extensive and the quality of the food first class. Great value for money and the portion sizes mean you will never be left feeling hungry. We left on the 6th June and are already in the process of making a return booking next year. It really is that good!

Good food and a friendly welcome from behind the bar. Good tasty food served and warm surroundings. A good and easy place to stop or visit around Bobbington.

Amazing food and brilliant service. You will not be disappointed! I would strongly advise prebooking to avoid table wait times and/or being unable to get a table. Something for everyone and so fairly priced! Cannot wait to return!

Have passed this establishment a few times recently, always looked well patronised and welcoming.

We were staying locally and recommended here for dinner. It was lovely, nice food, huge portions and friendly staff. Highly impressed with what we received. Will recommend ourselves. Lil one loved the huge Lion and Tiger in the Bar Area.

This building is situated in a country road in the outskirts of Stourbridge and about six miles from the city of Wolverhampton

A long wait for ok food. I had the smoked salmon, prawn salmon and new potatoe salad. My salmon was dry and overcooked. However the remainder of the salad was good and filling. Pub lacked character.

Walked in at 1450 on a Friday for one quick pint with 2 other people. To find nobody at the bar after waiting a few minutes. A guy got up from a group of people and told us we cant have a drink from behind the bar as closing at 1500hrs. Yet all his friends had a minimum of one fresh pint plus other people in the pub had fresh drinks. This has never happened to us in a pub before and if this is the standard of the place then will never visit again

My wife and I have been to the Red Lion many times, we have stayed in their executive suite twice. It really doesn’t matter how many times you visit they always seem to recognise you and welcome you. There is a really good selection of local beers including the local Enville Ale. We’ve eaten here on many occasions and the food is fabulous. Last Sunday we had the chargrilled lamb and wow! it was beautiful.

My wife and I have had dinner at the Red Lion many many times and never been disappointed once. If we have a family party the Red Lion has always made the evening a special event all the meals arrive together hot served by the friendliest of staff .I have written a few reviews over the years concerning steak night on a Wednesday, this is a great favourite with both my wife and myself and is always looked forward to as a mid week treat. Where else can you have 2 steak meals, a bottle of wine served by great staff in a great atmosphere for £28.00. If you have never been give a try

Situated in a lovely rural area. We booked four rooms here following a wedding at Blakelands on 9th March 2019.

We stayed here for a wedding nearby. The staff are very friendly and accomedating. We had a nice lunch. Great service. The room was clean and tidy Ecellent huge breakfast in the morning with lovely service.

Well all I can say is what fab food plenty to choose from on the menu everything we both had was amazing. The staff were pleasant and polite made us feel welcome and very chatty.
