Went for lunch. Food was tasty and staff were friendly. Waiting staff were so friendly. Really sad to hear the place is closing, and the employees not being offered any alternative employment. Such a shame .

Unfortunately my friend and I had a very poor quality scampi and chios for £11.99 today. Chips were burnt and very small portions. Puzzled as other reviews here are good. We definitely didn't get value for money.

The haddock, chips and mushy peas came as a generous portion and were delicious. Beef ale pie came out quick and was very tasty. Friendly staff a

I highly recommend this stop if your are a tourist coming from abroad and looking for an authentic pub in town. It’s a big please to guarantee a place to seating, and open garden for a sunny day. The food is good, I have a chicken with salad and chips, their drink have good quality option for more decent price than in London. Just good time there and walking distance to the town main attractions.

Just want to say a big thank you to the Red Lion who helped provide some shelter through the night to those affected by the fire in the early hours of the morning at the Crowne Plaza, was a credit to everyone whilst we waited for the fire brigade to put out the fire so a big thank you to those involved helping keep everyone warm and watered.

We didn't have a reservation and it was a Saturday lunch time when the Stratford street markets were on and the whole town was busier than normal but we were given a table for four we were served by John and he was absolutely brilliant and professional he sorted our drinks order and later returned to take our food order we opted to eat in the restaurant area away from the bar area and it was comfortable and really nice. John soon returned with our food and it was delicious. Will definitely return next time we are in town and a special thanks to John and the rest of the staff for a very enjoyable time.

We ate lunch here today. My husband chose the steak and ale pie. Sloppy mashed potatoe, bullet hard peas, watery gravy and a very small "pie" arrived. I chose the fish pie and it was disgusting. Obviously microwaved within an inch of its life, and I found no fish, just several rubbery textured shrimps. No complaints about the service but the standard of food for the price, is the reason why people choose to eat at home these days. We will not return, and would simply say avoid.

The food was disgusting! The gravy like water! Rude waiter because I ordered a child’s meal because I can’t eat a lot of food at one time! No, I’m not 12yrs old! The lite bites more expensive albeit not by much! Will never come here again! Disgraceful behaviour, no matter what I’ve ordered, I’m still a paying customer & would expect to be treated as such!

Amazing !! Best food, service and atmosphere! Came here (Stratford..) for my birthday and we took a while walking around the town deciding where to eat and I am so glad I went with my first choice as the service at Red Lion was fantastic. Meals were delicious and both me and partner came away feeling very satisfied and thoroughly enjoyed our meals here. Absolutely top notch service from both Mark and Remy.They were very accommodating to our needs and would definitely come back here again! Thank you x

Nice staff but the food was awful. Almost a fiver for 'cheesy garlic bread' which was no more 2 small slices. The smallest Beef & Ale micro pie I've ever seen and so called 'skin on chips' which were no more than a few frozen skinny French fries shoved into a deep frier were a joke. There as a couple at 5pm on a quiet Tuesday, despite an almost deserted restaurant area the genius in charge showed the loudest 4 people on the planet to a table right next to us who then proceeded to drown us out completely. Assume this place gets business due to its location and from first time visitors to Stratford as surely locals and second time visitors wouldn't tolerate it again.

Booking a table is essential and can be done the night before. They have 2, 4, 6 or more seats if required. Table service was excellent staff friendly and helpful if you have any allergies or preferences to specific foods you can't eat. Very wide choice of food and drink on the menu. It's ideally situated by the river Avon and next to Shakespeare Theatre with a hotel opposite. Dining area is peaceful and pleasant. I can't rate this place any higher me and my partner are definitely coming back

A cold wet evening, could have had the fire going for a bit of cosiness. Steak was overcooked and just about warm. Also quite tough and chewy but we were hungry! No table check part way through the meal and when told that the meal was "okay" waitress didn't explore this. Also took a long time for food to come out, and when we asked for the bill it didn't come. Has vegan option on the menu but no vegan dessert. I cook dairy free at home, its not hard to make things dairy free or with alternative products. Don't know if I'd come back here again!

The food was fine but I was overcharged and have had no feedback or reply to explain why or offer me a refund or voucher. Would be reluctant to return if the customer service is so indifferent.
