| This is now a Nicholson’s pub, although I’m not sure how long that has been the case. It looks as though it may have been recently renovated, and the friendly barman said that they were expanding rapidly northwards. It’s certainly the first one I have come across outside of London. The flooring in the main part of the bar is polished wood, with some tiling around the bar. The pub has a few wooden partitions to break up the space a little, and these are painted a khaki green colour. The paintwork is a green/brown shade and there are various black and white photo’s on the wall. To the rear is a carpeted restaurant area. There was a solitary plasma stuck up in a corner, but this was off on a recent Friday night visit. Food was probably the standard Nicholson’s fayre, but was decent enough, if perhaps a tad on the expensive side. We enjoyed our Salmon en croute and Cod wrapped in Parma Ham. Staff all seemed friendly and helpful, especially the young fair haired barman who remembered from a casual conversation when ordering food, who was having each dish when he bought it to the table. Beers on tap were Brew Dog Alice Potter, Salopian Darwin’s Origin, Brains Young Reverend and Oakleaf Brewery’s Hole Hearted. There were a further three pump handles on the bar, but these were not in use. Ciders were Strongbow and Kingston Press. Blackthorn - 17 Jul 2011 16:36 |
| DO NOT expect an 8oz steak if you order one. It will be around the 5oz mark if mine was anything to go by. DO NOT expect a reaction beyond "Oh dear." should you choose to complain. Beer okay. A pleasant barman was the only highlight of this, the last visit. The_Beard - 25 Feb 2011 19:35 |
| The Red Lion is currently closed due to a major refurbishment. It will re-open on the 24th February 2011. It will no longer be a value pub, it changes to a quality Nicholsons food and cask led outlet..... thank god for what will be great standards in a fantastic outlet!! NH77 - 25 Jan 2011 22:38 |
