The Red Lion is really a restaurant that serves a wide selection of real ales, with a quality of cellar management that puts to shame some of the more traditional pubs in the area. The food is of high quality at a reasonable price. Service is good, but be warned in the evenings it does get very busy so the waiting staff are very rushed, but always polite and jovial. There are areas for drinkers to sit, but the majority of the place is set out for “eaters”. I would recommend a visit, and to those who state that the food prices seem high, I would confirm that they are high compared to McDonalds, but then we don’t go to McDonalds for real food, do we?

Thoroughly enjoyed both trips here. Good service. Will always go back if in the area! Bit pricey but you get what you pay for, and this is true in this case as it's a really nice place that I can't wait to go back to.

Consistently awful service of mediocre dishes in bland surroundings.

If you want a drink, best to find somewhere else.
It's gastro bar - there no point going here for "just a drink".
Food ok, sometimes - suppose it depends on which chef is in today.
Looks good though.

not the best chef & brewer by any means.

Have been here a few times. It's focussed on selling food rather than being for drinkers, but even so it could teach most pubs an awful lot about how to deal with beer. It sells a good range of real ales (Greene King IPA, Bombardier, London Pride and guest ale Old Peculier today) and they're very well looked-after. Staff are friendly and pleasant rather than efficient and professional. We will definitely go back.

i agree, you cannot drink here unless you are eating. i tried it a few times but i was dissapointed with the food

Shouldn't really be classed as a pub, most of the time there's sign up saying "diners only". The food is good, but way too over priced!! Staff are fantastic!

Very well-cooked food (ever-so-slightly more expensive than other pubs in the area).
The atmosphere is relaxed, with music playing in the background.
Sometimes it's a bit dark - not the best pub for BSL'ers!
