This establishment has a strange way of treating customers. I guess it is no longer a PH, per se, as it once was years ago. So, don’t expect good beers or knowledgeable bar staff. That would be unfair. If you want that type of service go to a true, proper pub and there are many nearby. The RED LION comes across now as a bar restaurant which I think is the business model - in other words it is a restaurant pretending to be a pub, with the food customers taking priority. The only confusing part here is that the menu isn’t particularly impressive, although I did see a stacked Sunday lunch that looked truly magnificent. So, to get to my point, even if a table isn’t reserved and you’ve been spending a fortune on beverages (including say cocktails), you will be politely asked to move IF a punter wanting food is on the way. Imagine that, you’re sat having a nice time with all your friends or family and suddenly, without warning, your large congregation has to up and to move somewhere. Not entirely sure where you are supposed to go, then…LOL, because it can get crowded. But one thing it leaves you sure about it that you are now surplus to requirement and not wanted….That is clear from the unfolding scenario. But heh, changing times and the days of it being that run down spit and sawdust ALE pub are over…And I must say that the staff are lovely and truly delightful and whilst the rules are somewhat mystifying, the management are lovely and just following zee orders…
