| The Red Lion is a great pub and has rightly won many awards for the quality of the beer served here (Fullers) with CAMRA awarding it the bet pub in the west London area for numerous years running. I can say that the Pride and the Chiswick ales are prob the best that you will get in the area. The food is freshly cooked and the menu changes on a regular basis, with daily specials on the black board with the burgers being very good. The pub it self is very nice and traditional with a lovely covered court yard garden in the back which is a bit of a sun trap in the summer. Now having waxed lyrical i will have to say like other reviews that the prices are a bit extortionate, to the level that most of my friends have stopped drinking here. I know that its sounds a bit petty and it would be if the price rises had been minimal, but over night almost 40p was put on to a pint. And at £4.05 for a pint of Peroni I think that its a bit of a liberty.... you only just get charged that in tourist traps of the west end! It is a shame really that this has, for me anyways, tarnished what is a great pub. caffeinefreak - 19 Aug 2011 14:09 |
| this is my work local, just started here and went for food and drinks last week. beer good and a cosy pub, service just fine. as other people have noticed it is expensive, but then if your mate drinks peroni (yeah, peroni!) then i guess you just have to take it on the chin. food portion (fish and chips) was really generous, but while the chips and peas were good, the (huge!) piece of fish was a little flavourless, and the batter was too thick - crispy on the outside but soggy on the inside. being a greedy bastard i nevertheless scoffed the lot, but felt a little queasy afterwards. this won't stop me from returning though. benroberts - 11 Aug 2011 14:15 |
| Adding another review to comment that the landlord at the Red Lion does take the time to read these reviews and did contact me personally to confirm that I had been overcharged a touch for my pint and lime and soda water as mentioned in an earlier post and offered to refund the difference. So, pub rating duly amended upwards to reflect this..... And yes, I do still frequent the Red Lion as it is on the doorstep (if Santa Maria next door are busy then there's time for a pint while your pizza cooks) and have had fantastic service from two of the staff there so credit once again. Now as for this carping on about a few pennies......really? If I was that keen on saving 20p I'd go to the Wetherspoons but I don't. I want to like this pub and on a warm, sunny day in the garden or out the front on the benches it is very easy too but there does come a point where £££ does make a difference. Probably should be taking that to my MP as I am an Ealing local too after all. brodie_bruce - 15 Jul 2011 14:23 |
