Sunday roast beef and chicken dinner totally excellent, highly recommend

2nd review - Feb 23, 2025 Wonderful experience again. The landlord is so friendly and welcoming- taking care of the bar guests and restaurant guests with equal high standards. I had made a comment in my previous post that the sport on TV was a little distracting - imagine my surprise and delight to find a fireplace image 🔥 burning instead of the sport. It looked great and apparently was prompted by my feedback- wow! A business owner who listens and responds. I really appreciate the 15 minute interval bookings for lunch. The food is fresh, service speedy and friendly and there is no sense of rush or overcrowding. We were a little late for our booking, but we were accommodated without any bother. I think everyone from Latchingdon needs to support this pub - they are working so hard to give a lovely experience. Thank you for our super Sunday roast again today ♥️🌟✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ First post: I didn't use the rooms so can't comment AND (more importantly) there is no overall rating for food - which was 6 stars ✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️ Having lived my early life in Mayland - one might assume I know the Red Lion ... I don't ... it was my first (but NOT last visit). Sunday Lunch - I called around 12:30 to ask if they were serving and if I should book. The VERY pleasant man on the phone checked if we could be accommodated by the chef and invited us. I asked if they welcome dogs 🐕- YES (on a lead). We arrived and I was surprised how big the car park is and how easy it was to park - mum is very wobbly on her legs, so it was great to be able to park right by the gate. The rear garden is very secure - which in the summer would make it nice for families - fenced and gated. We were welcomed immediately and taken to a nice table in the corner, close to a radiator with a big space for my dog and her bed. They closed off the area for us with a gate (but I left her on the lead as we had been requested. The food menu was lovely - not an overwhelming choice (sometimes places offer too much choice). It's a clever idea to offer Subday roast with a single, double or treble meat selection! The roast potatoes were so crispy, veggies were fresh and perfectly cooked. We had extra gravy and additional sauces were offered. Mum (who is quite selective) said "Ooh this is better than the Star at Steeple (which in fairness is also good) - but her unprompted comment is worth mentioning The man who I think I'd the owner served us drinks, checked on us and had a quick chat. I think it was the chef who served the food - which came out quickly and piping hot. She also came and checked on us. Special note - sausage for the dog was appreciated 👏 The price was reasonable- £33 for 2 roast dinners, 2 drinks and a dog sausage. They take cash 💸 💰 🤑 - appreciated that. The only thing I would request is that the huge TV showing football is switched off (I have no idea if it's linked to the others) - the flickering was disturbing and it doesn't add to the atmosphere (sorry football lovers 😐)! Thank you Red Lion - fantastic Sunday lunch and hospitality- I wish you continued success. We will be back another week 🎊🙏
