The Red Lion, a charming pub, has received mixed reviews from diners. Some patrons lamented subpar meals, citing tasteless steak and ale pie, instant mash, and poorly cooked dishes, leading to disappointing experiences. Conversely, others lauded the restaurant for its friendly staff, vibrant atmosphere, and delicious offerings like flat iron steaks and gammon. While the decor received praise, inconsistent food quality hindered its overall appeal. Guests were divided on their willingness to return, with some enthusiastic about future visits and others expressing firm resolve against ever dining there again. The potential for greatness is evident, yet execution remains variable.
