  “One of those pubs that actually delivers on the promise of being a proper local. The Red Lion has a community feel that’s rare – you’re as likely to end up in conversation with a stranger as you are to sit quietly with a drink. The staff are friendly without being performative about it. The lady running the midweek evening shifts in particular is warm, attentive, and clearly enjoys the job. Tom the owner is also worth a mention – his social media actually reflects the personality of the pub rather than just advertising at you, which suggests someone who genuinely cares about the place. They don’t serve food, but they’ve thought about it properly. Bring in whatever takeaway you like and they’ll sort you out with plates and cutlery. There’s also a kiosk at the back where you can order from the pizza restaurant next door (same owners) and pick up from there. It’s a neat solution that keeps the pub feeling like a pub.”

  “First time visit for live music in the function room. Very impressed with the pub, the beer, the service and facilities. Really nice 👍🏽. We'll be back 🙂 And maybe we'll try the food next time - there is a pizza bar in one of the areas.”

  “Lovely little pub in this “Tiny Town”. Great selection of local beers, a landlord with some uniquely funny social media videos. The pub doesn’t serve food but provides for you to take your own. We had pizzas from the pizza place next door. Comfortable chesterfield sofas and quirky toilets.”

  “Nice little pub, plenty of seating. Had the fire going which was lovely. Small selection of different stouts, ales, lagers and spirits. Locals talk politics, cardinal rules of pub chat broken.”

  “A 'proper' pub. No food served - but order a pizza or a takeaway away and they supply the cutlery and plates. Good range of beers and obviously popular with the locals. Top marks.”

  “It's ok. I was served this stout though. I would personally have been too embarrassed to serve it. Poured too quickly and no proper head. Response to reply: Interesting take - nowhere in my review did I compare it to Guinness so I don't know why you've chosen to compare it. A stout should have a substantial head.”
