  “Just gone in there ordered a Guinness the blonde fella who argues with the blonde girl all the time behind the bar poured me what looked like a flat Pepsi . I looked at him and said come on you know that’s off , his grind tasted it and said it was off . The annoying thing is he tried to tell me it was a new barrel 🙄🙈and would I like a peroni 🙄 It looks like a lovely place but please sort out your staff”

  “The best of the best. We recently held our wedding reception at the the Red Lion and we cannot thank them enough. They went above and beyond in every single possible way, with guests commenting on how impeccable the service was and how incredible the food was. Creating our own bespoke menu with us, nothing was too much trouble, they decorated for us to our vision and made our night truly unforgettable. We cannot thank all of the staff enough, especially Alex and Millie, even creating us our favourite wedding highlights reel so far off their own back!! As regular customers we knew they would be good and the food exceptional, but we didn’t expect them to blow even their high standards out of the water. Thank you, and if anyone is looking for an event venue in the area look no further than the team at Red Lion.”

  “Our first visit to this wonderful pub and what a fabulous discovery. We arrived too late for Sunday lunch, but the menu on offer was very good. We tried the Blade of beef, chicken burger and gammon. Delicious and perfectly presented, great food. Not your run of the mill, mass produced menu choices, instead proper restaurant food. The service was spot on, attentive and friendly. We will be back to try another menu and take in the entertainment on offer Rose, Steve, Saffy and Jamie”

  “Having been here before I knew it was a nice pub. But this weekend was even better! We had an overnight stay in one of the chalets which i would 100% recommend. They are clean, fresh, modern and have everything you need! We had a 3 course meal which we couldn't fault, was so filling i couldn't quite manage it all! A great evening with live entertainment, cocktails, wine, beer and lots of laughs. Nothing was too much trouble for the owners and staff 😊 Thankyou 😁”

  “Dropped in without a table reservation and immediately allocated a table. Great staff. We had the Greek Meze meal, which was excellent. Very friendly gastropub.”

  “We tried the red lion out after hearing good recommendations. We waited 45 minutes for the food. The hot dog was really good and so was the steak meal. We also ordered the mixed grill for £35 but was disappointed as the menu stated there was half a rack of ribs but the portion didn't reflect the description we also felt the meal didn't really reflect the price value. As the pictures attached show..The staff were very attentive and the food was good quality but the portion sizes were too small. We won't be rushing back.”

  “Best pub for miles! My family and I have visited The Red Lion a number of times over the past year or so, and not once have we been disappointed. Food is always delicious, homemade, and the menu changes seasonally so it's a place you can look forward to going to, time and time again. the grill night is 10/10 and very reasonably priced- especially for the sharing platter! service is always efficient and the staff never fail to go above and beyond to not just accommodate your party, but provide an amazing dining experience- even if you've just nipped in for a weeknight dinner. weekend's you can usually find the best entertainment around, from the country's best adele tribute, absolute Amy, or last weekend's phenomenal Coldplay tribute who held a mini concert in this little hidden gem of a pub! we even got glowsticks!!!”

  “I recently visited Red Lion Holbeach and had an absolutely fantastic experience. From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel welcome. A special mention goes to Millie, who served us with such a bubbly and friendly attitude—it really made our visit even more enjoyable. The food was outstanding. I had the lamb, which was cooked to perfection—tender, flavorful, and easily one of the best dishes I’ve had in a long time. The atmosphere was calm and relaxing, with the fire adding a lovely cosy touch that really topped off the whole experience. Hats off to the owner, Alex, for running such a wonderful place. It’s without a doubt one of the best restaurants in the area, and I’ll definitely be returning!”

  “Visited some friends down the road with my partner from Hertfordshire/Dublin respectively. What we received is some of the best pub food we have ever had the pleasure of eating. I understand the chef is only 25 and if that's the case it won't be long until he has his own restaurant. Phenomenal, hearty and perfectly cooked food. The Welsh lamb was tender and flavourful. The duck fat roast potatoes were crispy and fluffy. Incredibly priced. Amazing and friendly service all round. They also have a full vegan menu which we have recommended to our vegan friends. 5/5 and we'll visit on every trip going forward.”

  “Visited with our friends. Our meal, the atmosphere and the service was all first class. The singer was an added bonus which we definitely didn’t expect! The girls who served us were really friendly and accommodating. Food to die for and good cocktails to boot! A beautiful place to spend a December catch up with friends. Highly recommended.”
