Red Lion At Pickmere - Knutsford

Felt pretty misled by the listing on Happy Cow for the Red Lion. Drove a fair way to take my mum out to lunch. Attracted by the promise of vegan options being made available in addition to what was already on the menu. Actually there was 4 vegan options one of which was the house salad. Out of 44 listed meals! I had the vegan stack burger was a series of slightly charred grilled veggies (pepper, courgette, onion, field mushroom) placed inside a brioche bun. Lacking in taste; presentation poor; accompanying chips not hot on arrival; side of steamed veg passable...! Attitude from the watress; coffee so strong it was virtually undrinkable, (once diluted by 50% it was ok but very bitter) ...all in all I would say AWFUL! I don 't like to complain. I would rather engage and encourage. But when at the point of paying the manager tried to divorce himself from the listing saying it was nothing to do with him or the pub I was tipped over the edge. I suggested he remove his listing if he is so disintetested in receiving vegan guests! Missing a trick I would say. Very disappointing!

It seems to be a black hole when it comes to places that are listed with vegan decisions in this area at the moment, so I thought it about the time to give one of them a pop. we ordered the vegan fish (tofu) and chips, and the sweet pile burger, with a side salad. I had hoped that I could mix two items on the menu together and float on a coat potato, but they weren't sponge! the tofu was just that, but deep-fried, it would have done with some nori to give him something aroma, as it was not seasoned at all. I also found it a bit strange that they used silk tofu for this court, it feels a bit like those time most of us have experienced early in the tofu game; always confused with firm, and firm. my sweet pile came in a Brioche style bungalow, which had a little concerned me, so I decided to play it with my allergy safely and leave it. that made me in a round with a place of chips and a veg that was just under a tenner, not that the bunny formed for it. it must be said, it has been for years since I had chips and they were really delicious! the atmosphere was really alive, and although it was on Friday at 4:30 a.m., it would not have been space for us if we had not booked, they would think about it if they were planning to visit. I am thrilled that a pub like this offers several vegan options, I feel that they need only a little more thought than a few veg in a bungalow and simple tofu in the friteuse. (from whom we are fried about the tofu, and the sweet and tofu are separated to the meat, but I would wonder if they want to be safe.)

The meal arrives quickly, and it was fair enough if not expensive for what you have.

It is okay for vegans. They do beer battered tofu, chips and mushy peas. Beer battered tofu curry and a vegan salad. The food and service is just average, but you can get a vegan meal which is better than a lot of pubs.

With the varied options for vegans on the menu, i was excited to try this place with my family. Seriously disappointing. We were a large group (good money for the business) and the staff couldn 't have been much less interested in trying to seat us. We ended up working the seating out ourselves. No offer to wipe down the table, and the staff were immediately abrupt and seemed really unhappy. Drinks order was incorrect, glasses were dirty unclean and they had run out of wine glasses (never known that to happen in a bar pub before). New glasses smelt strongly of other alcohol so weren 't washed properly. Food order was incorrect and missing 2 meals, so they had to sit and wait another 10 minutes for their food while the rest of the party ate. Staff of course could have offered a snack or something because of their mistake, but of course not. Food was just poor. Honestly don 't bother. The chips were just shockingly bad. When we asked for the manager, apparently there wasn 't one. Blamed everything on being busy. Imagine telling customers Sorry the service is bad, its because business is going great Discount was given on the bill however we would never go back. Honestly I 'd expect a bad review from everyone in our party because it was so appallingly bad.
