Probably one of, if not the best spoons I occasionally visit. Lots of tables and nice wooden decor and paintings. Two bookshelves that are full of books, nice to read whilst enjoying a couple pints. The food is on point albeit normal spoons menu, and the customer service is always excellent. Wide variety of pints on draft at amazing prices.

Main menu food is ok. Very pricey for the quality. Breakfasts on the other hand are lovely and reasonably priced. Drinks are reasonable also. Not bad all round. Just the price of main menu food needs to be brought down to reflect quality.

Having just moved to the area and having our kitchen still in disarray, Dad and I needed to eat somewhere where we could be sure of a good standard of food and this being a Wetherspoons they didn't disappoint, if anything their food standard is higher than many 'spoons I've eaten in. Because they were pretty busy being a Friday night we found the quiet nook the best place to sit and having ordered on the app, our drinks and food came within a very acceptable window of time. This is a pub with actual character and the history of not only the pub but the local area is literally writ large on her walls with pictures accompanied by some written histories of local people on a good number of the walls. If you're passing through, visiting the area or are a local, this is an excellent place to come for food, drink and a good atmosphere.

Sharing for my friends who after travelling from down south went to Red Lion Bedlington for food and found a table they had to clear and clean themselves . Ring order delivered to table one item returned which was a margarita pizza instead of pepperoni.Server took this back but kitchen sent it back out saying my friends were wrong they were right My friends accepted this and ordered drinks and one soft drink for their 15 year old granddaughter. Despite having just got their meal and drinks within minutes the duty manager came and ordered them to leave it was four minutes past nine . It’s just a pity the duty manager on Friday 8th December didn’t throw her weight around with the unruly mob of filthy mouthed individuals at the next table . Having been a frequent patron at Wetherspoons now mainly in the morning for coffee I can personally confirm the level of deterioration in this place and I always maintain a business is only as good as the manager or the person at the helm and I’m afraid this one is failing miserably . What once was a welcoming warm friendly place to frequent is now nothing short of a place to be avoided . It would appear that these complaints are obviously ignored if indeed they are read at all . This pub is in dire need of a new management structure and this most certainly extends to area / regional management . I refer you to comments from another comment when a person told the staff they had not put eggs with their breakfast and while this was changed the staff member went back to the kitchen with the plate cursing for all to hear .Wetherspoons Bedlington or better known as the Red Lion hang your heads in shame your current management is ruining what once was a really nice place to go to now it is the place to avoid

Visited the Red Lion whilst on holiday in Bedlington. The staff on different nights were friendly, helpful and courteous. The food was Spoons menu but hot and served quickly. This is a local pub and the regulars were friendly and enjoying their time at the Red Lion. I would definitely recommend trying it if you are in the area.

Food came out quickly but chicken wings were missing so I had to get up and ask for them and then I realised the peppercorn sauce was missing so I went up again to ask, and no one was on the bar as they were just chatting in the corner. I love a wetherspoon meal normally but it was a bit disappointing on this occasion.

This was my local but after my wetherspoons app glitching and ordering from the Red Lion instead of one I was at I rang up straight away to tell them. Ridiculous policy of not providing a refund despite me calling as soon as it occured so zero stock was wasted and that it was a glitch in the app which other people have also reported. Told manager of location I was at who agreed this policy was disgusting but was 'managers discretion' per restaurant location. I felt quite disgusted after this as the Red Lion manager clearly only cares about money and profits rather than their customers. After being a customer here regularly for many years this has made me no longer want to return here. Feel incredibly disappointed and let down by the Red Lion and the wetherspoons franchise policy.

Room was dirty, a baby sock was found under the bed. Was there for a wedding morning. We had to leave through a fire exit as the staff member left. Tried to speak to a staff member to clean the room Before the bride and groom got back. The staff member was on the phone talking away and practically ignored me. Room wasn’t cleaned only bed was made. There was no toilet roll and nobody was there to give us more. The staff member was apparently 30 mins away. Wouldn’t serve us any hot drinks on the morning. Overall just a bad experience wouldn’t recommend
