What judelough doesn't like about The Red Lion:
We are staying nearby and thought that we would support the local pub that had been recommended to us. The dining room was packed and it is clearly a popular eating destination. However, I don't understand how this pub got such good ratings. It was such a disappointing Sunday lunch, maybe we caught it on a bad day. The meat and roast parsnip were the only passable parts of the meal, insipid gravy, flat tasteless your... View all feedback. What User likes about The Red Lion:

The Red Lion in Willingdon showcases a delightful gastro pub atmosphere, rich with local charm and largely frequented by a mature clientele. While many diners appreciate the friendly service and the consistently well-presented, generous portions of food, opinions diverge significantly regarding the quality of certain dishes. Highlights include the steak and kidney pie and hearty Sunday roasts, though some patrons found their meals underwhelming, citing issues such as bland gravies and overcooked vegetables. Overall, The Red Lion remains a popular choice for both tasty pub fare and a convivial dining experience, with room for improvement in consistency.
