This was my first visit but certainly not my last.Great place to enjoy a well prepared and tasty meal.The menu options are very appealing and got me curious on trying them all, even vegetarian and vegan options.The staff is amazing and are honouring the soul of the red lion.Can't wait for the next visit... Ohhhh spoiler alert for foodies.They're starting a dining club were we can enjoy a 3 course meal and maybe more surprises soon...

The food here was fantastic. Very fresh, good portions and reasonably priced. We paid 36 for two mains of seafood paella and haddock & a large chips, and sweet was additional.Went on a Friday night, it was a local pub, it was vibrant, busy, and many locals enjoying themselves. Service was good, although slow, because it was so busy. We will go back again, this time, to try out their Sunday roast.

We had a family Sunday lunch on the 2nd March. We had a fabulous time and would recommend the Sunday lunch to one and all. Thank you George and staff for a great experience. We will see you soon.

Popped in for dinner but the kitchen was closed unfortunately. Glad i stopped by though. Cozy interiors. Great patrons. Highly recommend the tongham tea ale and the mango cider.
