The Red Lion, Sundon in Central Bedfordshire

Another great afternoon with great company and friends, Elaine and Cedric, its always a pleasure 😊

On a walk on the trail came a place we’re you can get ice cream Diet Coke or a few bit for the trails while hiking.

Excellent local, ended up there while waiting for a bus and stayed a while longer! Food was basic but Tring beer was in good nick.

Great pub music at weekends great host fantastic pub 5 star

This is a really nice pub with a decent selection on tap. I haven't eaten here yet .

Great night, fun quiz and great atmosphere 👍

Never been despite living nearby, first time for a wake and what a great pub, friendly, clean, great garden for warm days and cute snug cubicles inside, spread they put on was superb, wil definitely come back for the live music on Saturdays, well done Connor & co 👏🏽👏🏽

Local pub, sticky floors and tables but ok for a quick pint.

Wonderful pub with such welcoming, kind and considerate staff. Great selection of beers and pizza.

Lovely bacon baguette,nice old style friendly pub .

Not been to the red lion. Looks like just redecorated. A beautiful pub. Friendly bar man and certainly would go back there.

A top counry pub with great staff I am not sure but I think they will start serving food The already serve Pizzas

First time ever been there, only had the one drink looking forward to going again

Great find... Lovely staff... Looking forward to trying the food... Near enough to be our local ❤️

The Red Lion is the most common pub name in the UK, and obviously no two are ever the same when it comes to aesthetic or offerings (one need only watch the Red Lion documentary on YouTube to see The variety for yourself). Upper Sundon, I'm happy to report, have got themselves a most excellent one! I did some live music for these guys on Saturday, and the atmosphere was brilliant. You can be sure of a warm welcome, a brilliant selection of drinks, fair prices and efficient service. It's clearly a great place to watch live sport, too, with multiple televisions installed throughout the premises. They make an absolutely banging pizza as well 🍕 Other such assorted pub entertainments include quiz nights, family fun days and classic car shows, amongst others. Upper Sundon, I ask you: What more could you ask for in your local? I can't wait to come back, for sure 🍻

Friendly staff, cracking Pizza!

I visited on a quiet Wednesday evening and not many people were in. Had a nice pint of Tribute and a pepperoni pizza. Both very nice. Garden out the back was lovely too.

Great family pub with friendly helpful staff. Good pub garden and parking to the back.

Friendly place to go good service

Great local pub friendly atmostphere.

1st time at the Red Lion, both of us had Sunday roast, absolutely fantastic freshly cooked, great selection, good size portions.. would definitely recommend this friendly, traditional establishment. Staff very attentive.. great find

I love this Pub as a woman on her own I feel very confortable going in on my own, nice bar staff and there's a gardem

Lovely country pub, warm welcome and nice Moretti after a long walk. 👍

Lovely local village pub. Lovely staff who are very friendly and welcoming. The food is amazing we have been for lunch twice now and loved both meals both a great size. Lovely outdoor area to. Very reasonably priced.

Splendid pub, excellent simple menu. Very friendly I used to frequent this establishment when I was an apprentice almost 50 years ago

Lovely food and very friendly service. Couldn’t do enough for us. Will be back!

Such friendly and welcoming staff

Great local pub with a very friendly welcome and small, well-executed menu. We had Sunday roast, with very generous portions and a choice of beef, chicken or lamb. The chef also very kindly sorted out a gluten-free dessert.

Brilliant fresh food served with enthusiasm, just the way you ask for it. I love coming here with my family with my friends and with my choir group. Wonderfully community spirited team of staff brilliantly lead by Cedric. You’ll be sure to have a great time here

Decent spot.. cold beer.. proper village pub..

Friendly staff, had a lovely lunch here after a long walk in Sundon Hills Country Park. Offered water to our dog as well even though we did have some with us. Thank you

Good environment, friendly staff, good service but a bit expensive - £12 for a main course.

Got a big garden and good beer and a great staff and good food

Great freindly service good selection of beers and a child freindly garden

Polite staff,great atmosphere and a welcoming vibe

The landlord landlady and team have worked hard to make going for a beer and chill out possible. Beer garden and everything about the experience is good. Well done!

We have just been to The Red Lion and what a wonderful welcome we had. Colourful bunting all around the beer garden, friendly signs asking us to adhere to Covid guidelines, hand sanitizer a plenty, Undercover areas for when those rainy days arise or when you just want to keep out of the sun. Lovely seating and tables all clean and emaculet, with lovely lush green grass which our dog took delight in lying on. Every effort has been made to accommodate customers safety while being made to feel at home and at ease over an excellent pint and delicious ice cream, by the way. If you want a sense of normality during these crazy times, go to the Red Lion for that extra little something. See you soon! 🥰

Great covid procedures & very good atmosphere/Saturday afternoon.

Staff are so friendly and welcoming. The food is absolutely amazing

We visited for lunch on a Monday and were extremely impressed with the covid precautions being taken. The lunches were good and we were able to get them at half price using the government eat out to help out scheme. Safe to say we will be back.

hours are not accurate with covid, but a great pub.

Nicely decorated, clean & tidy country pub with a modern twist for the better. Two ales + the usual suspects with regards to keg... London pride & Doom bar both in excellent condition....nice looking garden & plenty of free parking spaces....menu consisted of comfort food on a limited basis & the locals were friendly.

Really lovely old pub. Great hospitality. Nice big outdoor seated area.... Looking forward to summer :-)

Excellent service and thank you Cedric for the lovely buffet.

Very clean and friendly. Not a 'posh pub' but a real one!

Great pub, great landlord and landlady

very nice warm and cosy, friendly staff. only reason for 4 star is cos menu was limited but then again it was Monday. i had a pizza and it was 100%

Sitting here gaving a fabulous christmas dinner, can recommend do it, book it go

Very welcoming landlord & landlady. I had a Christmas due there Saturday night just gone and the food was beautiful the staff look after you from the second you sit down. Everything was spot on. Thank you for a lovely evening Red Lion, I will definitely be coming back xxx

Beautifully decorated pub with a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere. Never received anything but outstanding service from all staff. Owners Elaine and Cedric are a credit upon themselves and hugely popular in the village. All topped off by brilliant food. Thank you guys, keep it up!!

The landlord of this pub put on free chicken nuggets and chips for the kids at Halloween. We were late getting there with my 2 and our friends with their 2. This was no issue for the pub and they swiftly made some more fresh for the kids! I don’t live in the village but we will make it there one day for a dinner. Nice friendly atmosphere where it seems nothing is too much trouble for them.

Fantastic evening for our Christmas meal. We were actually running 45 minutes late and the pub was so accommodating. The food was delicious and the staff were so friendly. Would definitely recommend to friends and family.

Fabulous landlord and land lady, successfully running warm inviting family friendly pub. Cedric and Elaine are wonderfully community spirited and we love them 😊 We just had our village Christmas dinner there last night and the food was delicious and very generous 😋

Excellent service. Food enjoyable. Lovely village pub. Friendly staff I'm just sorry that when I paid contact less I forgot to tip 😳will tip double next time xx

Been to this pub a few times now. Excellent food reasonably price. My wife is vegan and can find it hard to eat out. Menu here is great for her and Cedric willing to help out with vegan choices when he can. Lovely atmosphere and staff always polite and helpful. Just about to book for Christmas lunch. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Had a lovely evening in the red lion, there’s a great atmosphere, very welcoming!!

Good food, good beer, full of locals, friendly and helpful staff, just what you want from a village pub.

Never have I been made to feel so unwelcome in a pub. I was spoken to the Landlady in a wholly inappropriate tone and manner. She did apologise, however customers should never be spoken to in that way. I was just standing and she approached me from behind with more food than was safe to carry taking into consideration how busy the pub was, made me jump so moved more in her way. The pub was busy, reducing the amount of food being carried in one go would mitigate the risk especially as families are welcome so there is lots of little ones running around and noise so you can't hear exactly what is going on around you or where.

Was there for a wake. Other wise lovely

Lovely place for having a nice pint and delicious freshly baked pizza. Atmosphere is amazing and staff is so friendly.

A very lovely pub with great food

Very friendly pub, and the meals are excellent

Visited the pub on a weekend and Loved the ambience. Very friendly people. Outdoor seating was nice. Drinks are reasonably priced. Loved the friendly atmosphere. Stone baked pizza was amazing with all fresh ingredients. Will definitely visit again.

Such bright and modern decor, extremely friendly atmosphere. Really broke the mold, would 100% reccomend to anyone

Had a lovely afternoon , great sports and family pub.

Mid bike ride Friday lunch, great food/welcome and good value 👍need to go back and catch the melted stilton burgers!

Absolutely wonderful welcome. Friendly atmosphere and great food. Thank you to the lovely staff

Elaine & Cedric are perfect hosts. Lovely, friendly pub suitable for everyone

Just been to a funeral and had the wake here lovely staff first time me being there didn't even no it was there lol but thank you very much

Nice atmosphere , unfortunately we were to late for Sunday Roast as serving had stopped. Very Friendly Landlord & Landlady offered an alternative for meal. Discussion regarding facilities and activities throughout the week. Will visit The Red Lion again.

Friendly family run pub. Sports shown on TV

Tasty, good value Sunday lunch with very friendly service

A brilliant pub, friendly, helpful staff.spottless clean

Went on a Monday evening and the only food available was pizza. Having said that, it was good and a good size. It was also reasonably priced. Nice place, but if all they serve is pizza I'm not going to go back tomorrow. Recommend it.

Friendly staff, recently refurbished, lovely beer garden for the summer

Really liked the pub and will visit again. Publicans were very pleasant. Good food and drink.

I took a group of Boogie Bounce customers here for a Christmas Party and we had a great time. The food was amazing - well cooked and very plentiful. Traditional Christmas turkey dinner and a good range of other options too. Loads of beautifully cooked vegetables served separately. The pub has just had a complete makeover and looks amazing, including a wonderful display of Christmas ties. There is a challenge to find the ones that play music. It's worth a visit to the pub just to see the huge collection. I would highly recommend a visit here. We really enjoyed the atmosphere as well as the food. It's has a cosy and friendly feel and the hosts Cedric and Elaine made us feel very welcome.

Went for Sunday lunch.Would highly recommend.

Saturday 1st of December, Christmas dinner at the Red Lion Sundon village. What a super dinner four course. Everything cooked to perfection by Cedric, the turkey was so tasty. Was so full afterwards had trouble walking home. Recommended 100% you certainly won't be disappointed well done Cedric & Elaine thank you Michael & Richard Williams.

Place all been decorated very nice

Great food and great hosts too. We will be regular visitors from now on.

Good atmosphere good facilities to watch the football.

Very friendly service and good value food.

Revisited this evening. Champions League on TV. Fantastic service by the landlady Elaine. Landlord Cedric returned from Parish Council meeting and was informative about the Village. Friendly atmosphere. I wished them well with refurbishment and will drop in again when I am in the area. Ps great food.

Top pub. Excellent service.Fantastic patrons.Shall visit again.👍👍👍
