The Red Lion

Came here for my mums birthday the past two years, this time we were greeted with a birthday banner and card for my mum at the table which was a lovely touch that she very much appreciated. The pub is dog friendly, they put some water out next to our table for our dog which was very kind. The food was delicious, you can tell it’s all made with fresh produce, very tasty, presentation also great! The service was excellent, Beccy and the team were extremely accommodating and my mum couldn’t speak highly enough of the place the food and staff. Excellent trip out would recommend to anybody. Thank you for making my mums birthday such a great day out.

Excellent meal here last night! The service was impeccable!! The staff were so friendly, welcoming, informative about the menu, accommodating and nice and chatty. The food was absolutely delicious and the cocktails outstanding! Will definitely come again next time I visit my Mum! Many thanks to them for a lovely evening!

Having looked at the December sample menu, we called in the hope of finding a table at very last minute and the lovely lady on the phone was only too happy to accommodate us at such late notice. We arrived 20 minutes later to a warm welcome and such cosy surroundings. Having never been here before we were shown to our seats, advised that the menus change every two weeks and sometimes dishes are replaced every few days. Wow, what a menu. No sign of pate, soup of the day as starters, or ham egg and chips on the mains. Instead what greeted us was a menu full of delicious dishes, with options of having a tapas style evening or traditional three course. Tonight we opted for three courses of gastro delight. We both had the scotch egg to begin, accompanied with the endless dish of firm, juicy olives. The scotch egg itself was delicately seasoned with a delicious fondant egg. Alongside was the homemade piccalilli. For mains my husband had the filet stake with trimmings which he said was delicious. I had the seabass with fondant potatoes which was cooked so well and I left nothing. Finally even though there was no space, we couldn't resist the sticky toffee pudding having seen it pass us to other tables. It was such a light sponge, plus the ice cream allowed me to indulge in more. In summary this is not your traditional pub fayre, but a higher end restaurant with seriously good food, a wonderful setting and fantastic staff. We will be going again.
