Really great pub set in a pretty village. Good food and beer. Excellent garden but kids not encouraged (probably why it is so nice). Popular with walkers and cyclists. Well worth a visit.

Love this pub, have to visit every time I come to the island, and usually save it until our final night. The fish and chips are to die for! I come every year and I am never disappointed. Deserves to win an award!

The staff were appallingly rude. Had i known i would not eat here if i was starving.

We visited the Red Lion last night and were made to feel very welcome. A marvellous pub to visit early evening when the place is filled with locals, rather than later when the pub is infiltrated with grockles and eaters (good god that's us). The ales were well kept (we sampled the Goddard Special several times to make sure). An exceptional pub and well worth a trip out. Landlord 'Flight leutenant Jack Saxon' is the best host this side of the Bombadier club.

Our walking group had been looking forward to lunching at the Red Lion for some years. Last Sunday it fitted our itinery so at last we got to try it. A lovely looking pub which is matched by it's interior decor.
We booked ahead & were given a table alongside the cosy fire. The welcome from the landlord & the bar staff could not have been bettered. Now to the nitty gritty. The Goddards beer was ok but I have tasted better. And the comments on the meals were much the same, it was o.k. but for an up market pub charging a little more than the average I expected better. My steak & mushroom pudding was once again 'O.K' but some of the vegetables were pureed & though reasonably tasty not what I expected. You can get away with a lot serving veg that way. A really nice pub but they could improve the meals. My rating a 7
