Red Lion - South Norfolk

The girlfriend and me had dinner at this pub in Diss after a nice stroll in the village. The kitchen was about to close but were kind enough to accommodate us. Really happy about it.

Decent food, on a Tuesday nigh the place was about half fullt. Excellent service from attentive young staff. Good selection of Beers ands Wines. Will certainly go back

Popped in to the Red Lion for a quick lunch. Ordered a homemade burger with stilton and chips. Food arrived and looked great. However when I cut the burger in half it was completely raw. I took my meal back inside and explained to the landlady who swifftly went to sort it out. My meal eventually was returned. The burger was the same burger in 2 bits, it had been microwaved and was put back in some cheap nasty sesame bun not the nice original bun. The whole plate was exactly how I returned it. Same chips now cold. Same plate still with bits of raw burger. When I mentioned this too the landlady she didnt want too discuss this and basically walked off. Quite clearly customer service is not something she cares about. I certainly will never be back.

All previous visits to the Red Lion had been most enjoyable, with a warm welcome and good food. On this occasion it was not so good. Of the six starters on the menu, one was no longer available, although we were the only people eating and it was only 7.30 pm. The steaks were below the normal standard and the waiter disappeared altogether half way through the meal, and we had to get anything else we wanted via the bar. Can we get back to normal Red Lion service please.

I was invited to this pub as part of a birthday celebration for a friend who lived in the area. I had a thoroughly enjoyable evening!There was a good choice of food on the menu and more on the 'specials ' board, I had steak with stir-fry and jacket potato and absolutely loved it. The young staff were very helpful and polite. Hope to return in the near future.
