Super friendly staff who make you feel like part of the family, serving home cooked, super reasonably priced, mahoosive delicious breakfasts…what’s not to love? Child and dog friendly, it’s everything you could ask for and more!

A friend suggested we had lunch here. Although though the staff were rushed off of their feet, the welcome was warm and genuine, the service was well placed and the food was fantastic. Special care was taken for my complex issue with diary - complete confidence in eating here with allergies/intolerances.

This is the best place to be in the whole Dengie! Friendliest most welcoming, child and dog friendly pub, serving homemade, fresh, super tasty meals…what’s not to love? Can definitely recommend their hearty roasts, and their lunches (my personal favourite is the prawn mayo jacket potato!). Thank you Red Lion Latchingdon for always going the extra mile, and making our lives so rich! We may be moving in!!!!!

Never sure when to attempt to pop in for a drink as the opening hours are inconsistent. The landlord shuts whenever it’s too quiet. I appreciate you’re running a business, but many people who would have used the pub regularly have now opted to go further afield rather than keep getting kicked out because it’s not busy enough. So long term you’re actually losing money as people can’t be bothered to go there anymore. Such a shame as the drink is good, and the staff are lovely. Just a shame the landlord is only interested in £££.

The food was shocking, Both mine and my partners chicken burger was rock hard and had been done in the microwave. There was also a small hair in my chicken burger. The lady we spoke to seemed lovely but unfortunately the food was just not great at all. Would not go back.

We booked a table for 4, short notice, but managed to get a table at a busy time of year. Staff were friendly and made us feel welcome and comfortable. The chef from ‘uncle bucks’ came and introduced himself, shared some menus and discussed briefly what was on the menu. The food was fantastic, really tasty. Flavours were delicate, and moreish. We had burgers, and dirty fries (chicken tikka and the other was lamb kebab). My cod in masala/curried type batter burger, with spicy sauce on the side was a ‘chunky’ size portion. The batter was crispy yet light and dry, and subtle, and the cod was cooked perfectly. We will be returning. Food was good value. Great service. Trainee waiter ‘Freddie’ was attentive but not intrusive. (Well done). Highly recommend.

Where can the current menu be found ? **Update 6/12/23** Called in for lunch yesterday around 13.30 had trouble finding a parking space, luckily a couple who were shopping across the road, not from the Red Lion went back to their car and vacated the space for us to pull into. That was one hurdle over, walked into the pub expecting it to be packed solid due to the volume of vehicles in the car park only to find a handful of locals at the bar. Tables and chairs were plentiful, but no sign of any food about, being eaten or otherwise, no sign of cutlery, condiments or anything else that implied food was for sale. Previous reveuwee’s state nice food and give high scores , fail to understand this. To all intense and purposes this was a pub and nothing else even though there was a sandwich board at the roadside,needless to say we left and had a nice all day English Breakfast at The Cabin B o C. So really you did us a favour.

The Red Lion never disappoints! Great atmosphere, friendly staff, great selection of drinks, great outside area and now amazing food too! The pool and darts equipment are all top notch too which helps if you’re terrible like me! They host awesome events like quiz nights, karaoke bingo and live bands as well. All in all a fantastic place to visit.

Finally freshly made delicious food in Latchingdon!! And sorry to anyone that offends, but as a vegetarian it was so great to have veggie and vegan options, that actually had flavour and felt part of the menu (not just an after thought). This coupled with the most friendly and welcoming atmosphere, where everyone is made to feel part of the family! All served with a fresh cold pint, or a glass of nice wine, literally the best combination in the world! Thanks to Uncle Bucks and the team at the Red Lion for the perfect Friday night, we can’t wait to be back already!!👌🏼 🍔 🤤

The drinks taste like the lines don't get cleaned and Ian the landlord is unorganised, rude and is more than happy lying to the clientele and messing them about if he thinks he can get away with it. Basically the kind of pub you won't feel safe in unless you yourself are someone that makes people feel uncomfortable.

I placed an order through the new just eat delivery service tonight. The order was confirmed & we were given an approximate delivery time. My partner and I were really looking forward to our burgers, only to receive an email 5 minutes before the delivery was due that the order had been cancelled as they weren't able to deliver within the stated time. I would have prefered a phone call asking if it was ok to deliver later rather than just cancelling the order. I tried calling to speak to the pub directly but the line was permanently busy. We were left with no option but to order from elsewhere

We stopped at this pub for a quick drink and ended up ordering Sunday lunch. The roast beef was excellent, served with a huge homemade Yorkshire pudding and a large selection of freshly cooked veg. Everything on the plate was homemade and freshly cooked. Couldn’t fault it. We were served by a lovely lady called Laura who made us feel very welcome(nothing was to much trouble). Wish we lived nearer so we could sample the takeaway menu.

Visited with a friend and will return as you can see the new owners are trying to revamp the old place and we want to support local one man bands. The young lady that showed us to her table was polite but could try and engage in conversation bless her she looked petrified of taking our orders and was keen to give us our bill. The atmosphere from the bar was very welcoming and friendly and the food and drinks came at a good time. Our baguettes were tasty but the prawn sauce could have been thicker as it was quite runny and could have had some crisps or garnish on the plate. Generally worth a visit and lovely views to the rear of the pub. Well done to the new owners.

we had a table of 9 booked for 7 on a saturday and were swiftly seated to our table. the waitress was clearly new but done a good job of dealing with 9 guests. the food came out and was of a good standard with big portions for everyone. if you want some classic pub grub this will certainly hit the spot. The scampi came out with around 12 pieces which i thought was very good.

Thankfully we only booked a one night stay here. The room was basic, with a double and single bed so crowded. Shower room was cold, no way of heating, the shower ran hot for a short while then cold, warm and cold again, so went to bed unshowered. If I had showered the towels would have provided excellent exfoliation .The lighting in here was so bad it would have been difficult to shave. The shower room door needs some WD40. The cupboard for clothes is behind a mirror so awkward to use.. The only positives were a tv, fast internet and a plentiful supply of toilet rolls. Way over priced for what is provided. I know the people have only been here a short while , hopefully they will work on improving the accommodation. The website photos are not like the reality.
