A little disappointed as I visited the pub last week and have ended up with a £60 parking fine. I’m not from winsford but called in for a couple of pints with friends and none of the staff told me about any parking fee required and also no signs in the pub to tell you.

Hi I didn't want to cause a scene as that's not who I am that is our review of our experience just the amount of money we spent wasn't worth it for us personally as for the chilli it was overly spicy and they love spicy food just our opinion

First time to the Red Lion in Winsford as relocating back to UK. Looked many time at the pub on Google and the inside looked very traditional place very pleasantly surprised when we went in for a drink (☕). Will go back to try their meals 😀. Had their two for one meal deal on their Tuesday deal. Very good 👍

Jeez what can I say. Order the crispy chicken burger. Don't upgrade to the sweet potato chip as the potato chips were perfect on my visit. Perfectly chipped and perfectly cooked and had the perfect crisp. So much so I ate them all first before tucking into my burger. Now the burger. Knock me sideways. Perfection.

We parked in the car park and had some lunch. A week later we got a parking ticket for £100 through the door. Apparently we needed to give our registration in to the bar. There were no signs and the lady behind the bar didn't say anything to us either. We will not be visiting again and we will be telling everyone we know not to go either.

We reserved two rooms for a wedding reception with a buffet and I have to say it was phenomenal. Wonderful atmosphere, great food and a fantastic price. The only mark down was not being advised we wouldn't be able to sit in one of the rooms thanks to the buffet. Makes sense but we wish we knew ahead of time!

Called in for Sunday lunch, nice atmosphere, with great service and good beer prices. The Sunday roast was really tasty and plentiful, my only comments are there was only 2 roasties and they weren't crispy and the cauliflower cheese had sold out. We were offered complimentary deserts too, which was nice, but sadly let down by over nuking by Chef Ding, making the syrup pudding hard and chewy. But considering the cost for 2 meals and 4 drinks was just over £40, we couldn't really complain. Would we go again? Definitely! 😃

We went to the Red Lion for a couple of drinks with friends, There is plenty of parking to the rear of the property. The location is a mixed bag, it’s on a very busy roundabout, but backs onto a nice nature walk and has the river down the side. The benches outside are a nice sun trap when the weather’s right. Good selection of drinks, good prices, though the wine is a bit on the expensive side for what it is. Great service for the couple of the team we dealt with. A good atmosphere, music playing, but not too loud p.s. someone has good taste in songs. The few other customers we spoke to were chatty. A very pleasant Friday evening. We didn’t eat so can’t comment.

Popped here today with the pug after a walk. Had a refurb and its absolutely lovely. 1 braised steak and 1 lasagne. Varied menu and reasonably priced. Not sure what prices the drinks are as only had pop. Will definitely call again. Edit: Sept 23 - 4 and a baby! Clara is amazing and her team still working hard. Nothing too much trouble. All meals were tasty and served on time (and piping hot). Baby Daisy loving her veg! Our new favourite when it's a famalan trip out. Well done team. See you soon for family Sunday lunch (with the pug who gets cucumber as a treat) ☺

Absolutely disgusting price for a 3 barrel brandy as they are charging courvoisier prices for this cooking brandy. This needs to be addressed quickly. As I could not respond to the red lions reply (maybe they have restricted bad reply’s!). Red lion. My wife did not have a bottle of coke, this was poured from your machine (syrup) behind the bar, please do not cloud the issue. Thank you.

Dog friendly or not. Can’t believe we were asked to stop our dog barking she barked 4 times she’s a puppy. She’s so friendly and everybody loves her. The pub was vertically empty. We have been going to this pub for over 15 years it’s a joke. The new staff are miserable not all of them with the exception of Melisa Becky and Fran and the new manager thinks she’s important. If you want a restaurant, that’s fine but make it clear but I’m sure most of your regular customers are dog owners or dog lovers.

Been here plenty of times for a drink with mates and I've always had a good time. Today was the first time I've tried the food and it didn't disappoint at all! I had the fishcake starter which was crispy & fresh and for a main I had the Beef Stroganoff which was so warming & tasty. Really nice punch of paprika too. Great portion sizes also. Definitely coming back for more food and more drinks!

We had the festive menu for a large booking. Sad to say the main course was barely hot and not much veg served as a side . Such a shame as it was some of our parties first visit . The big problem was we only had one waiting on us for 15 people so once she had given everybody the main course she then went back into the kitchen for veg,gravy and condiments . When she then brought them out to us the main was getting colder. Maybe a better idea to get a few waiting on for larger parties.

Absolutely lovely pub with some great food! It's not exactly fine dining, but I had a soup followed by a chicken and mushroom pie and it was all very fresh and very tasty. The venue itself is very good, modern but with some nice traditional touches here and there. The staff are all very warm and friendly and made is feel very welcome. The drink selection is good with some nice beers and wines. If anything I would say they could use a few more real ale pumps but it's really not a big deal. Everything was very reasonably priced too! All in all I would recommend, and I will definitely be back again soon!

I have to be honest and say the Red Lion has had a turbulent few months with a few changes in management. This afternoon I decided to give it another go and I have not been disappointed. The menu has been revised and prices much more affordable. Good selection of choices on menu including vegetarian. I went for the braised steak and was not disappointed. Excellent food and well presented. Service was excellent. Staff were very friendly. The decor for Halloween was awesome and it feels like there is some soul coming back into this pub finally! What ever the new management are doing keep doing it. Well done. I will definitely be coming back again.

Called in for a quick pint by the river and ordered a portion of onion rings and chips. Very disappointed as I only recieved 4 onion rings for £3.50. That's almost £1 ea per onion ring. Ridiculous. Same price also for a handful of chips in a cup. Extortionate.

The out side of the pub pulled us in, as we drove past... beautifully maintained front, tables and parasols. Flowers in pots, well maintained building exterior walls. Clean and tidy. Also noted was a table area round the side/rear, next to the canal. Shaded and again very well maintained. A definate draw to the pub on a warm sunny day. Inside, decorated fitting the old pub style, but very well kept. Greeted by welcoming friendly professional staff who made some suggestions and directed us to tables. Drinks menu excellent, a wide selection of ale, larger, spirits. And a food menu which excels. Next... The food. Chicken and black pudding pie, with garden peas and chips. Wow. I have eaten a few pies in my time. But this was the best bar none. Taste sensation. Not over powering but not subtle. Perfectly balanced taste. I thanked the chef for such great food. And enjoyed the sun with my good lady. For sure we will be back. This was a very nice pub, with no negatives. A special thanks to the staff who were excellent; and the chef, whose food was top notch! I don't know if it was freshly made or heated and served. It was spectacular and worth the cost!👍

Very disappointed the food was atrocious. Apparently the new manager also has the Coach & Horses on Middlewich Road . I visited this pub on 6th Aug the food was good. I heard her say that she was going to make the Red Lion as good if not better Well She has an awful lot of work to do Unless it was bravado on her part. The food was awful and at least the chef knew how to defrost the cheese cake properly Over priced rubbish

Quite a nice pub, has outdoor seating next to the river/canal and has plenty of parking around the back. The pub itself is actually exceptionally clean! (Surprised me how clean the floors and tables were) We did not eat here but the drinks were tasty although we chose bottled drinks. 5 stars for the premises and staff. Only reason I voted 4 stars was because I felt it was a tad expensive.

Update, i think this place has changed ownership and is a cake store, so the rest is not aimed at them. Took almost 2 hours for food to be delivered I haven't even got it yet just annoyed the fact I called and they said it's on its way but i checked the just eat app the driver has been delivering my food for 1 hour no reason as traffic or anything to make me understand why it's so late I won't order from here again real shame I just wanted a smoke and some delicious chicken what a let down.
