The Red Lion Chester

A good Sunday lunch with family Great friendly service in a comfortable setting 2 of the main courses were rather dried out suspect they had been left under a heat lamp for a while before being brought to the table but the desserts were excellent especially the selection plate.

This was a family lunch the day after our anniversary. I had a duck starter. It cost over £6 and I got 4 minute very fatty pieces of duck, together they totalled the size of 2x50p pieces with two sugar cube sized pieces of something tasting of beetroot. Three of our party had prawn cocktail dumped on a plate and all tasting different (surely not right) Four of us had beef dinners. I had less meat on my plate than anyone else, and 3 of the 4 meat portions were incredibly tough, mine particularly so. We were comped two desserts following my complaint. My chocolate brownie was stale. Not the best experience I've ever had. I feel that the meal was poor value for money, and the food was substandard. Service was fine Quite an amateurishly run kitchen , I thought

The food was fantastic, and the service was excellent. This has become one of my favorite pubs to visit for a meal.

On a busy Mother's Day evening, the dining experience was fantastic, and the value for money was excellent.

The service is quick and the food is reasonably priced. We often choose this place for Sunday dinner. The Red Lion has had its ups and downs since the 1970s, but it's always nice to return.
