This place unfortunately closed as a restaurant in August 2018 and should not be on Tripadvisor as a restaurant. The obligatory "Rating" above is not to reflect the restaurant but because there is no alternative way of indicating closure. They must have lost a lot of goodwill, and of course the previous CAMRA ratings are now irrelevant.

Came here for lunch. The staff were pleasant and the food was average. I enjoyed my chickpea and sweet potato curry.

Unfortunately the Red Lion has stopped doing food at the moment, but the real ale is excellent. They have no pumps on the bar, the real ale is straight from the barrel, but if you want lager it is bottles only. Quirky but if you want great beer in a really friendly local pub, this is the place!

This is a great pub for real ale and character. People and dog friendly. The charm is that you can write a review in under 100 characters.

A very enjoyable family lunch with good menu, excellent food and service to match. The atmosphere of the Red Lion is so nice - a real pub with food rather than a food driven pub. An added attraction is the range of beers - especially the choice from their own micro brewery. Food portions were generous and excellent value for money. Be back soon!.

On 'phoning to say we would be late due to the closure of the M4, the polite young lady said there was no problem and they would keep our table for us.

The service varied. The first girl who seated us was poor in attitude - not very attentive. The other wait staff were much nicer & more attentive. The food was ok, but then again it was a pub! I had the fish pie which was pretty salty & not much fish in it, others had the pork belly & burger & were happy with those. We all had different puddings & they were all nice.

Went for Sunday Lunch, online menu said it did Roast Chicken but on arrival was told they only did Beef or Pork, it is a disappointment when websites are not kept up to date so that you are able to research menus. Staff were nice, service ok if a bit slow with a half empty restaurant. We had fish pie which was good but could have been a larger portion.

Our reserved table was by the fire but was too warm for us on a warm October day but the friendly staff found us another place even though it was busy. The menu was limited at lunch time but we chose two courses and the food was excellent. Our starter was a Waldorf salad with a local cheese which had been grilled like a creme brulee. It was delicious. Mains were scampi and burger both with triple cooked chips. These were all homemade and very good.

We were able to get a table for 2 at short notice (midweek), booked online and within 2 hours were at our table. A lot of the items on the Specials board were unavailable. The Carrot Soup was underseasoned and a little tasteless. I ordered the Cornish Clams in a tomato and chorizo sauce - good, but with only 12 (small) clams at £6.50 I felt this was a bit overpriced for what I had. We both had haddock and chips for main course. Although the chips were well cooked and chunky, there was some variation in how many you got - I felt I had too few, but we noticed other plates had bigger portions. However, the battered haddock was very good. This was not our first visit to this venue, probably will go again.

I’m so sorry to leave this review as the waitress was lovely. I booked a table for our 2nd anniversary after running the Cricklade half marathon. It had been highly recommended to me and as our first date had been for a coffee there we thought we would return for a meal. We had looked at the menu online beforehand and were really excited about the mackerel or shrimp starter and the pheasant stew or Hake. The veg of baby kale also sounded lush. Unfortunately the menu was totally different. The waitress said that the website does say menus can vary and I understand the need for changes depending what’s in season but I felt that it was very pub grub rather than Sunday restaurant fayre. I had the duo of pork for starters which was nice and the clams and chorizo but we thought the portions were small. There was no roast left which I was really disappointed with as this was my 2nd choice. Went for the scampi which was dry and the mushy peas were also dry and the Cajun chicken burger which was reported as just ok. We didn’t stay for dessert as we were so disappointed by then. I think if people are booking and on a Sunday at 2pm that there should still be roast available. All in all it just wasn’t what we were hoping for and at the moment I wouldn’t consider returning. Sorry 😐

We eat here fairly often, and have yet to have a poor meal. Everything is always perfectly cooked and full of flavour. Their chips are to die for. I recommend not eating the day before so you can have a hearty three course meal. Every pint I've had there has also been spot on. Definitely will recommend for those who like unpretentious food with a pint of good ale.

Went here for Mothers day and it was great, nice and cosy in the bar. Then last week my brother in law and nephew came over from Spain so i suggesested we went here for sunday lunch. We were put in the 'restaurant' side. Cheap pine tables and a cobwebby fireplace doea not make a restaurant! Service was terribly slow, food when it arrived was nice, (altho the roasties were very very hard) ordered dessert and after over 30 minutes wait the waitress came so say she had forgotten to put the order in but would get them to do it straight away. After another ten mins it arrived and was again nice enough but not worth a 40 minute wait. Good job their beer is good. If booking a table, ask for the bar area!

Five of us had a table in the 'restaurant' rather than the bar (which perhaps would have been better). The table was reserved for us and set. The restaurant wasn't very busy and was served by one young man who clearly hadn't been trained to work in a restaurant. He was pleasant but unaware of a number of things. Two of us ordered steaks but meals were brought without steak knives - which were needed as they were both a bit tough. He brought white wine which was chilled but with no wine cooler. The cutlery for starters wasn't taken away after we didn't order any. No one came to ask 'how are your meals' once we had started, in fact we had to call him over which wasn't easy in order to ask for the steak knives etc. All of the above wouldn't matter for a pub meal but this place purported to be a restaurant and in addition added a discretionary service charge of 10% to the prices. At £22 for a steak it's not pub prices. So, all in all a disappointment. It wasn't the lad's fault as he clearly didn't know. We did tell him and said we knew that it wasn't his fault. We still left a tip, but not 10%.

Ate in the restaurant, and the staff were more interested in talking amongst themselves rather than being attentive to clientele; with their backs to us most of the time. Food wasn't bad at all, pretty good quality however the syrup sponge pudding wash awash with an orange juice syrup which wasn't very appealing

This pub was once relatively local to me so I know it well. It has won a number of awards in recent years although I fail to see why. It has also had a number of landlords over the years and several - including the present one - have had a habit of banning customers; this is also difficult to understand as the villagers of Exbourne are certainly not loutish or drunkards, far from it. A few years ago the present landlord started a petition to prevent a new shop (the only shop in the village) from being build opposite the pub; fortunately for the elderly and those who cannot drive, this failed. The pub is effectively one long room very partly divided, so you share your meal with drinkers at the bar as well as with pool and dart players. There are tables out side the pub but this area is also a car park, and parking in the village is tight. There is also a very small beer garden but I've never seen it in use The food is reasonably good, more noted for quantity rather than quality, and the latter varies considerably depending on the current chef. I was always disappointed with the beer: there is no cellar so the casks are kept in the bar (normally not a great problem) and the beer tends to warm slightly. The bar staff themselves are always friendly and efficient.

With the kitchen only partially functioning, you'd think that lunch would be a disaster. Not so! Pizzas from the proper pizza oven and awesome sandwiches (the pulled chicken one was great) more than made up for the potential disappointment, will be back again soon for the burger. :)

We are staying in Okehampton for 5 days at East Hook Cottages in Hook and wanted to have a traditional Sunday roast in a pub. We found this one via a Google search and as the reviews were very positive we decided to book a table. With welcoming staff, extensive menu and fantastic food (we had roast chicken) we knew we'd made the right decision! This is one example why reviews are so important. Will definitely return the next time we are down from Bristol.

I always struggle a little to review pubs but not with this one. It's tucked away. We were staying in Okehampton but anywhere within a 10-15 mile radius of this small village, should not put you off. It looks a little scruffy from the outside, parking isn't great but nonetheless that is all forgotten as you walk through the door. The welcome was exemplary - barman showed us the table, made sure we had a drink and the lady who served us was warm, friendly and very welcoming. We couldn't get in the previous night so we were glad to get a table. It clearly is popular. Quite frankly the menu was of restaurant standard and we could have ordered almost any dish. As it was my seafood tagliatelle was probably one of the best pasta dishes ever. Heaps of shellfish, almost too many if I'm honest, a lovely warm, spicy after taste from the garlic butter - it was simply divine. My wife had a burger which was splendid and the kids had full choice of the main menu and ate fantastically well. Likewise on the puds and the white chocolate cheesecake was lovely, but several others pushed it for choice. It's a pub serving restaurant quality (and very good quality) food, with splendid service and hosting. What more can you ask for. We didn't drink but it's a CAMRA pub - not that I'm that much into beer but I'm sure it would satisfy many. Fabulous - one of the best pub meals I've / we've ever had...

Firstly I'd like to say that the staff were lovely, service was wonderful and the prices reasonable but we were cramped into a corner of the restaurant so much that the people behind us kept knocking our chairs and the food although good wasn't any more than that.

We are from Cardiff and came to Okehampton for the weekend for my partner's birthday - we are spoilt for choice for burger venues in Cardiff, but I have to say this was one of the best burgers I've ever tasted!

The Red Lion is perfect for just about most reasons for either eating or enjoying a wide range of alcoholic beverages. It has a natural cosy, comfortable ambience and you feel right at home straight away. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable about their drinks and food both of which are brewed or sourced locally - the beer in the pub's own micro brewery. Whether inside in front of a roaring log fire in the winter or outside in the sunny beer garden in fine weather, you will not regret a visit here.

A most enjoyable lunch (main & dessert) on a Tuesday in December. Only the bar food menu is available on weekday lunchtimes but this is made clear on the website and the menu selection was wide with plenty to satisfy the non-meat eaters amongst us. The inn was comfortably busy, which made for a good ambience. As always, there is a fine selection of beers, including those brewed on the premises. Service was friendly and attentive, without being intrusive. All four of us enjoyed our respective dishes. My Rose Veal and Mash was certainly delicious and nicely presented. I shall return!
