Red Lion

Newly refurbished to a good standard, we booked online for Sunday lunch. We arrived in good time and the pub was REALLY busy, we initially told our table was still in use, but the manager moved a few things around and we were shown to a table straight away. The server quickly came and brought menus and took our drinks order at the same time told us there couldbe a wait for foid of 30-40 minutes which given how busy it was came as little surprise to us, soon after the drinks arrived and we placed our food order. As it turned out our food arrived within 10 minutes of our initial order so all good. The food was excellent, great quality, fresh veg, tender meat and huge Yorkshire puds! Portion size great too! Dessert was very tasty but not overly hot when it arrived. All in all we would recommend the Red Lion for Sunday Lunch.

Yesterday had such a good experience of welcome, good food, excellent staff all round and Chloe who served us. Also, as someone with allergies the dining experience was not ruined by endless info in a folder, instead a simple tablet with easy use. Thank you

Both had a Sunday Roast. One Turkey, one trip. It was very good. They were very busy and warned us that there was a 30 minute wait on the food so that was nice that we knew. It was worth the wait. Absolutely lovely, as always. There was no space in the Car Park so we had to park on the road outside. Very good meal and service by Alyssa/chef Dave.

First time back after the pubs refit and it didn't disappoint.The staff were very helpful as usual, Alyssa who was showing Phoebe the ropes were both very helpful and on arrival informed us that because they had had a very busy day some of the food was not available, and there was a 30 min wait for food,but in fact our food arrived in under 20 min. 10 out of 10 for lovley food from chef Dave and first class service from both Alyssa & Phoebe. Will be back again very soon.

Excellent service from our waitress, Chloe

Our first time eating at the refurbished RedLion and we weren't disappointed. From what was a bit of an embarrassment of a pub to a top notch place to drink and eat.The surroundings have been tastefully done and there is a nice vibe in the restaurant and bar area. The staff were all cheerful and helpful despite the fact that the place was very busy and they were blatantly run off their feet! The choice of drinks was comprehensive (pity you can't serve Adnams beers!),the menu was good and a definite improvement from its forerunner which had far too many choices cooked poorly. Our dinner on friday evening was beautifully presented,tasty and cooked perfectly. The portion size was just right too. We were very impressed by our 'new' local and will definitely be back! Well done everyone TD

Very cosy pub, beautiful renovated. Alyssa was very cheerful and attentive, and provided great service. The food was delicious, I needed to be taken home by forklift!

Our 1st visit .We called in on our way home on Thursday about 1pm. The car park was quite full so we weren't confident about getting a table. The couple infront of us decided not to stay as the waiting time was over half an hour. The young lady was polite and helpful explained there were no tables in the restaurant available and we could expect to wait up to 45 minutes. We weren't in a rush so decided to wait, she cleared a table with 2 chairs in the the bar. The interior is beautiful. The barman was extremely busy, and on his own, he was rushed off his feet, not only making bar drinks but trays of tea/coffee, he said he'd be with me as quick as he could. I ordered a lime/soda ( was no lime ) but I was offered an alternative and a pot tea. We chose our mains and I went back to the bar and ordered. The barman even though still very busy, was extremely helpful took time to discuss the menu and advise. I ordered a jug of water which he brought to the table immediately. 45 minutes later the food arrived, I'd ordered the steak/ale pie with mash and veg, my husband ordered fish/chips and peas, with extra tartare. The food was hot, presentation wasn't the best, the pie meal looked like it had been thrown on the plate and the veg was a ½ a sliced carrot a small sprig of broccoli, and a tablespoon of peas, the gravy was lumpy, but the meal tasted lovely, the pie was absolutely amazing. No issue with fish/chips/peas. We were to full to eat dessert I was gutted as was looking forward to it.. the price was ok for the amount of food served. All in all we enjoyed our 1st visit, it was extremely busy and I think under the circumstances the staff did well, but they did seem short-staffed. I think the gentleman on the bar (was maybe called Derek, and may have been Italian???) even though he was so busy nothing was to much trouble for him, so thankyou and yes we'll return for the leek dish on your recommendation. Wheelchair accessibility: My husband is disabled the entrance from the carpark is accessible for wheelchair users, also accessible outside dining next to the carpark. Not sure if the main beer garden is accessible. Most of the restaurant/ bar on one level, think there was 1 area with a single step down. Accessible toilet for wheelchair user available,with baby changing unit, by the entrance

Great place to eat. Felt very comfortable here. Would definitely return.
