What I1903IHjuliem likes about Red Lion:
The service at this restaurant is always lovely and the food is excellent. Sonia and Jess always make us feel very welcome. We are regulars at the Red Lion because my mother-in-law loves it there. View all feedback. What Amy C doesn't like about Red Lion:
Great pub, friendly staff and warm, friendly environment. The food has been disappointing on recent visits. Although basically it's ok pub grub, it's nothing particularly special and I don't like the white dishes with the blue rim. They remind me of guide camp! Looks awful. View all feedback.
