Red Lion - Central Bedfordshire

I have eaten several times with colleagues on red lions. recently we went shortly before the peculiarity changed the hands. therefore I am uncertain how much will change, including drinks, menu, personal. so I will have to review myself again in the framework of the new management.

Excellent! inventive menu many vegetarian choices (good choice of meat dishes also). attentive and friendly staff. we look forward to the return.

Friendly staff, good quality pub grub and a decent pint. seemingly the rooms are also good, although I did not stay there myself

We have been here many times before but our last visit was somewhat disappointing. The food took a long while to arrive and we found our waitress a little curt when we asked if we could have more custard. After spending £150 for 4 we thought it wasn't unreasonable to politely ask if my son could have a little more as the serving was very small. The waitress said that it was the portion size which came with the dessert but she would see if it would be possible. To be honest after waiting 45 minutes for our starter and a further 30 for our main course, we didn't think we were being demanding. We won't be rushing back again. Food was alright but overall pretty mediocre and would have appreciated being told there was a long wait time especially when in advance we had been told our table had to be vacated after two hours but we were still eating at that time because of the slow service.

Went for a drink with a few friends and was pretty disappointed. Service even at the bar is pretty slow and it wasn't even that busy. Sat at a table and took waitress some time to clear the glasses from a previous customer, actually had to ask twice. Then she forgot to clean the table. Other than that ok for a drink.
