About The Red Lion
On the corner of Roman Bank and Lumley Road, The Red Lion is a pub open daily with seating both inside and out. The menu runs to around 20 dishes, including a traditional breakfast and freshly battered fish and chips, alongside real ale, cider, and oatmeal stout on tap. Orders are placed via an app at the table, and the pub takes walk-ins rather than reservations. There is no car park on site, with the nearest option being pay and display parking nearby. The location sees a steady flow of people coming off the train or heading to catch one, keeping the pub busy around those times.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers point to cheap drinks and good-value food, with one praising a breakfast as lovely. Opinions on the food split: one calls a pie grisly and tasteless, another got a cold chicken dish that staff replaced kindly. Several find staff friendly, though one reports a waitress rudely telling them to order while standing outside with a pram. Reviewers also note the lack of a car park.

“Came here with my parents. We all said the same thing about the atmosphere not feeling or looking welcoming. Ordered on app which is quicker than most but food took a lot longer than any spoons iv ever been in despite it not being to busy. Food was mediocre mums pie was grisly and tasteless. My katsu curry was nice but it had more flavour in the spoons where I live (we are visiting on holiday) dad’s meal was ok again nothing specially. The lady that brought us our food was really lovely however ,so thank god for the staff which is why iv given 2 stars instead of one. We won’t be coming back!”

“For some unknown reason. A waitress from this venue came out of the pub to rudely tell me I had to order food or drink. I was simply stood on the street outside with my baby in the pram. I definitely wouldn’t want to be inside if that’s how they speak to people.”
