What BeachStone2C doesn't like about No.8 At The Red Lion:
We went into Red Lion to watch a league game before entering the stadium for a Watford home game. It was total surprise to discover the restaurant does not have that pay channel. Instead we had to watch a Swedish hockey game. High price level considering it’s just a regular pub with a good location. View all feedback. What Gourmettrollet likes about No.8 At The Red Lion:
Four friends stayed here some hours before Watford were playing Arsenal (2-2). The pub serve very good burgers in a nice outdoor garden. Inside they show other PL matches on several screens. Top atmosphere before match with kind staff and several draft beers. View all feedback.

Very continental of an evening in here. I enjoyed myself so thank you to everyone that was working on Saturday night.

The Red Lion pub next to the Watford FC ground has received mixed reviews recently. While some praise the quality of the food, atmosphere, and friendly staff, others criticize the high drink prices and small portions. The lack of card payments and excessive noise levels on match days are also mentioned as drawbacks. Overall, it seems like a good spot for post-match celebrations, but customers should be prepared for potential disappointments in terms of pricing and service.
