Visited for a CAMRA branch meeting. Fullers Summer Ale, Windsor Knot and a Hancock's seasonal beer. Tried the first two which were in pretty good condition (both £3.15), evidently the Hancock's was flat. The Windsor and Hancock's had new fangled pumps which made them look like keg beers at first. Large room for food out the back and a garden beyond that. Friendly welcome.

I can't say I had a warm welcome at the red lion, nor would I recommend it unless you enjoy being hassled for doing nothing more than keeping to yourself.

The landlord took a dislike to me when I declined to buy a drink - I was with friends who were buying, and had explained that I was driving, which I thought was reasonable. Nevertheless, he demanded I buy something, and poured me a sparkling water which I had to pay for.

A little annoyed, I decided to keep quiet, and sat browsing the net on my phone while my friends talked with the landlord. He then got on my case for not participating in the conversation and being absorbed in my phone. I told him I wasn't enjoying being hassled. He asked me if I had a problem with him, and I truthfully answered that I did.

At this point he said "well, you can leave then." I didn't need any more encouragement and walked out. I think his actions speak for themselves.

Only been in once and that was because I was told to avoid it. That normally means its worth a visit and Im glad I did because I found it absolutely fine. Why do people think that traditional pubs are to keep away from! There was the classic loud woman at the bar (there does always seem to be one) and quite a homely feel I thought. Theres other pubs closer to me but I'll go back as it was decent enough

Decent pub in village with one real ale (Bombardier) in decent condition. Comfy chairs for watching one of the may TVs, pool table, pub game machine and dart board. Large sunny dining room at rear with garden seating also. Small car park to left but if that's full parking will be tricky. Quiet but pleasant on a Sunday afternoon.
