  “Fantastic village pub, with the food actually feeling authentic and not with that chain/industrial taste. Service excellent, very competitively priced too. Unfortunately these really cared for pubs are a dying breed.”

  “Brilliant village pub with amazing staff, everyone’s so kind and welcoming. The food is unbeaten and I will not hear otherwise, to have a pub like this on my doorstep at like £13 for the best lasagne in the entire world is a blessing. Brilliant birthday meal for my 24th, fabulous food and great atmosphere. 10/10 all round.”

  “It’s not often I leave a review but felt I just had to say what a lovely meal we have just had! We went to celebrate my mother in law’s 86th birthday, the food was delicious and very reasonably priced, there were 6 of us and we had a range of different dishes everyone throughly enjoyed their food. The staff were absolutely lovely, so friendly and accommodating. I very much recommend it. Thank you for a great night.”

  “Family of 3 adults and 3 children We hadn’t been for a while and used to be good but just had the worst meal and customer service out of everywhere we have been and we eat out weekly The staff do not know there own menu .. after confirming with waitress teh pork burger did have a burger as well as pork .. it came without the burger ? I took it back as I wanted a burger so nit a soggy cob with piles of fatty sloppy pork … they were rude about this but I’m not pay £14.95 for something I didn’t order All the meals were uneaten the garlic mushrooms were breaded ( not as on menu) and so over done please see pics .. just totally inedible!! As were the children’s meals No one could stomache more than a few mouth fulls Asked for bill and put the cash on the table As we were walking out the manager came out and started shouting at us to pay the bill.. infront of all customers .. wow she must have felt silly for not checking the table first lol .. we said even though the food is disgusting and vile we still paid But would never go again and only reccomend to people I really dislike hahah We all feel sick and all staff need retraining in customer care and their own menus”

  “A Memorable Evening at The Red Lion: Exceptional Steaks, Outstanding Service, and a Homely Feel Dining out is more than just enjoying a meal—it’s about the experience, the atmosphere, and the small touches that make you feel truly valued as a guest. Our recent visit to The Red Lion was a perfect example of this, reminding us that exceptional hospitality is just as important as the food itself. A Personal Touch That Stood Out Before our visit, we had made a reservation, and the owner himself had taken the time to ask, “So, shall I order a couple of rib-eye steaks for your next visit?” It was a simple question, but one that showed an impressive level of attentiveness. True to his word, when we arrived, he remembered both us and our conversation—a rare and thoughtful gesture that set the tone for the evening. Upon arrival, we were seated as the Seaton party of two at Table 3, and from that moment on, everything about the experience felt seamless. There was an undeniable warmth in the air—a feeling that you weren’t just another customer but a welcomed guest in a place that truly cared about its patrons. A Homely Atmosphere Paired with Top-Tier Service The Red Lion manages to strike a perfect balance between professional service and a welcoming, homely feel. The moment we stepped inside, we were greeted with friendly smiles, attentive service, and an atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The staff were efficient yet warm, always ensuring we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed. With its cozy décor, soft lighting, and the gentle hum of happy diners, The Red Lion offers the kind of comforting environment that makes you want to settle in and stay a while. Unlike some high-end restaurants that can feel a little too formal, this place makes fine dining feel relaxed and inviting. The Best Steak I’ve Ever Had And then came the food. The rib-eye steak that had been ordered in for us was nothing short of perfection—beautifully marbled, expertly cooked, and bursting with flavor. Every bite reaffirmed that this was, without a doubt, one of the best steaks I have ever eaten. Paired with well-thought-out sides, the meal was a true delight from start to finish. A Restaurant That Gets It Right In a world where so many dining experiences can feel impersonal, The Red Lion stands out as a place that genuinely values its guests. The combination of incredible food, outstanding service, and that special homely touch makes it a restaurant worth returning to time and time again. If you’re looking for a place where both the food and the hospitality leave a lasting impression, The Red Lion should be at the top of your list. It’s not just a meal—it’s an experience.”

  “Lovely country style pub with very low beams, mind your head 6 footers. The food is excellent and nicely priced with lots of extras. All different types of beers on tap. Staff are friendly and try to cater for all your needs. Well worth a visit and I will be coming back as this was my first visit. I must add there is outside seating for those summer days and a childrens play area plus a small car park.”
