The Red Lion, Boldre

We booked the Red Lion for a large pre-wedding dinner. Both Alan and Amanda went out of their way to ensure the evening was a success - menus were posted to us in advance and the choice of food was enticing - moreover, whenever we spoke beforehand the response was friendly. When we arrived there was a short wait but they had arranged a single long table in the back room, which was perfect for our requirements. The food arrived promptly and the wine was already on the table. We had only compliments about the food from our party and the service was excellent - discreet but attentive. Observing the other people in the pub I got the impression this was an established, friendly place to enjoy oneself. The quality of the house wine was up to scratch, as was the case with the other drinks ordered. I can thank Alan and Amanda and their staff by wholeheartedly recommending this pub to others.
