We called in for a sandwich and drink. The staff at the bar were not very friendly and we immediately felt like we were an inconvenience for being there. The atmosphere was frosty.

The Red Lion offers a delightful blend of charm and culinary experiences, attracting both praise and criticism. Patrons revel in its inviting atmosphere and excellent dishes, notably Sunday roasts and unique desserts. However, service inconsistencies mar some visits, with reports of unfriendly staff and wait time frustrations. While burgers and sandwiches occasionally fall short in execution, the overall charm remains, thanks to its welcoming environment and family-run dedication. With an enticing menu and varied offerings, The Red Lion is a worthy destination, promising both comfort and culinary satisfaction—if the service can match the quality of the food.
