What isn't to love about this jewel of a pub, without the exception of some of the local roads that is? We found this gem of an establishment a while back when a booking at a nearby pub had to be cancelled and they recommended the Red Lion. On our latest visit, we met up with relatives from Battersea for lunch on a cold, very wet Saturday lunchtime, weather courtesy of Storm Bert. From the minute we walked through the door, we were greeted by the welcoming landlord and members of his team. Being dog friendly, as soon as we were seated at our table, our accompanying Golden Doodle summer was treated to a bowl of water and even some doggie snacks from the bar. The was a good choice of real ales from the bar and the menu, was usefully concise and yet loaded with lovely dishes to tempt us. By coincidence, we all, one by one ordered the fish and chips and our post meal comments varied from "brilliant" to the "best I've had for years". Service throughout the meal was attentive, polite and so friendly. And to top it all, the bill was very reasonable considering the quality of the food, beer in fact the whole experience. I note that their website states: " Everything we do at The Red Lion is evaluated through the lens of asking ourselves whether or not it'll make people return". Well they certainly knocked that one out of the park for us, we'll be returning as soon as we can and we live over 100 miles away(!). If a two hundred mile round trip for lunch isn't a recommendation, I don't know what is!

Turned up for Sunday lunch at 12:30 to be told (after we’d paid for our drinks) that the kitchen is small and we wouldn’t be able to have any food for 2 hours (despite the fact there were hardly more than a handful of people before us). We weren’t the only disappointed customers as two other families left without ordering too. For a place that advertises their food so prominently out front (‘Sunday Lunch 12-4’) they really need to get their act together. Waitress sarcastically chirped “bye!” when we walked out. Useless and rude.

Had a really lovely meal. The food was great and beautifully presented. The staff were really helpful and friendly. We were there at Sunday lunchtime, three had the roast, two had sea bass. All were very tasty and cooked to perfection. Thank you Tommy.

I was looking for a spot to eat while I waited to pick up my daughter from a party. I was lucky enough to stumble across The Greyhound. What a lovely, welcoming team, charming local diners and delicious burger. If you are in the area I would highly recommend this spot for a really great all round experience. Thank you to the team.

I had coffee at the Herb Garden today and developed a nasty cough whilst I was there. A member of staff brought me a glass of water (she obviously heard me coughing) without my asking. I was impressed; she went beyond the call of service. Thankyou! Gold stars all round. Coffee and scone delicious too!
