I am a regular at the Red Lion, particularly at the weekends for a drink and even a light lunch. It has a good atmosphere with a wide range of drinks on offer, and their bar menu is extensive, including jacket potatoes, sandwiches, salads and even more substantial dinners. I had the pleasure of eating in their restaurant section, where I found the menu really innovative, the food was of amazing quality and the service outstanding. Myself and 5 friends had a fantastic time on their £17.50 three course set menu, and managed to have some great banter with the waiting staff. They have a private room for 8 people for dinner is required, which is also lovely. They also have a hotel which I have heard is very nice, and many of my friends and family will be staying there soon as part of our wedding celebrations
Sometimes the bar food can be hit and miss - you don't always get everything as described, and it can be cold, but if you speak to staff they recify it immediately. I do find management staff to be a bit heavyhanded, abrupt and rude, but this does not take away from the great service received overall. read more
