  “Awful meal of roast beef which was so tough people were asking for steak knifes. The meat was not carved from a joint but was obviously a pre cooked product which was offered as Rare or Well Done only. Only 2 tiny roast potatoes which were hard as bullets and basically inedible. Minimal amount of gravy which if you wanted more was an extra , a situation complained about at the opposite table. This was a wedding anniversary lunch which was saved from an absolute disaster by being offered a free pudding and drink as compensation. The staff were very polite and attentive through this horror story.”

  “Unfortunately, tonight’s meal was a very disappointing experience. I ordered the special from the board: a 7oz steak with chunky chips and salad, priced at £32. I asked for the steak medium rare, but when it arrived, it was overcooked—closer to medium-well or well done. The portion was also extremely small, and the steak was so tough that it tasted like old boots. After two bites, I couldn’t eat any more and sent it back. The rest of the meal consisted of just five chunky chips, two small pieces of lettuce with some cheese, and two cherry tomatoes. Despite leaving virtually the entire steak, I was told that the most they could refund me was £5. I found this insulting considering the poor quality of the steak, the tiny portion size and the £32 price tag. Sadly, the meal was extremely overpriced and nowhere near the standard I would expect.”

So we decided to sit outside.we ordered 3 roasts our friends ordered burgers chips and nachos .it came out literally within 10 minutes, the roast had hardly any vegetables.potatoes were rock hard and deep fried, our friends dinners every was cold , my friend went in and took the food back and was told he couldn’t have his money back .he demanded his money back .we paid for ours but didn’t really want to ! Avoid like the plague! Rude staff ! And not clean premises at all !!! Don’t waste your money ! Be warned”

  “Went out for evening meal. Booked table but not needed as not busy. We both had the Vic and chips. Excellent. Staff were very attentive and polite. If I had a criticism it was the 30 or so minute wait after we ordered but the quality was certainly worth the wait.”

  “Very helpful service. I had the cottage pie and seasonal veg which was delicious. In our party of six everyone enjoyed the meal and we stayed afterwards to sit outside in the sunshine. A lovely pub, highly recommended:)”

  “Fantastic place to go with really friendly staff. We came here on a Sunday afternoon with an 8 weeks old baby and the staff were extremely helpful and couldn’t do more to help. I would really recommend to anybody looking for a great place to go. It had several log fires making it very cost on a wet day! I had a lovely chat with the owner who is extremely friendly.”

  “A visit to the Red Lion for yet another birthday meal. Haven’t been here for a while, but not disappointed. It’s pie week, so opted for a steak and Guinness pie. Struggled to fit in a pudding after a large portion, but our server Cheryl served up a smaller dish with a candle . Excellent food and top class service. Thank you.”
