Quick info
About The Red Lion, Winsford
On Wharton Rd in Winsford, The Red Lion sits along a riverside walking route, making it a stop for people on foot as much as for regulars. The menu runs to twenty dishes, including roast beef, braised steak and fish and chips, and the Sunday roast comes in large portions. Red Lion ale is on tap, and food and drink reach the table through staff rather than a bar-order system. It opens daily and takes walk-ins, with no reservations needed. A carpark sits nearby, though it isn't reserved for pub customers and is subject to fines for those who haven't verified with the pub.

Customer Review Summary
Sunday roast draws the strongest praise, with one diner noting the huge portion and even a generous serving of pigs in blankets for their dog. Fish and chips and the Red Lion ale also please, alongside recent improvements in food and friendly staff. One reviewer describes staff helping manoeuvre a disabled companion inside. A separate reviewer reports receiving a £60 parking fine after using the car park.

“I visited the pub briefly to buy a soft drink. Using their carpark which I assumed was for their customers landed me with a £60 parking fine. The entrance to the car park is on a busy road which doesn't give you time to notice and read the …”

“I went to the Red Lion yesterday with my Disabled friend Richard. The owner and his staff could not have been more helpful. Helping to manoeuvre Richard inside. Believe me that is not an easy task and they did it with patience personified. The roast beef was delicious and the two young men serving tables were brilliant- could not do enough for you. What a delightful experience it was, give them a visit. Pam Gaynon”

“Absolutely lovely Sunday roast. Huge portion too. Had pigs in blankets for my dog, again, huge portion. Would definitely recommend. There is a beautiful walk along the river to get here too.”

“I have to be honest and say the Red Lion has had a turbulent few months with a few changes in management. This afternoon I decided to give it another go and I have not been disappointed. The menu has been revised and prices much more affordable. Good selection of choices on menu including vegetarian. I went for the braised steak and was not disappointed. Excellent food and well presented. Service was excellent. Staff were very friendly. The decor for Halloween was awesome and it feels like there is some soul coming back into this pub finally! What ever the new management are doing keep doing it. Well done. I will definitely be coming back again.”

“Little drop-in for lunch after shopping. Clean and newly refurbished. Staff friendly and welcoming. Good range of food on the menu. The fish and chips was excellent. Red Lion ale went down very nicely. Not strictly "local" for us but definitely worth the walk there for a decent pint.”
