Wonderful food and staff very friendly and attentive My favourite restaurant love dining there

Nice food, pleasant service but a bit cool in the dining room which was nearly empty on a a Wednesday lunchtime. I’m sure it warms up as it fills up!

Visited The Red Lion for lunch on a Tuesday. Lovely and warm inside with the log burners roaring away. Lots of choice and good value lunch menu. Food was delicious, staff very friendly. Highly recommend

We came to the Vine for lunch for my husband’s birthday and it was fantastic. I had the mussels and they were delicious. My husband particularly enjoyed his mushroom starter with Stilton.. I tasted it and they were really tasty. Lovely place - our dog was happy curled up in the bar with us.

Sunday lunch for two. Roast beef and roast turkey. My roast beef was perfectly cooked and delicious. Good portions and selection of vegetables. Great ambiance and excellent, efficient and friendly service

Service was little longer than usual as it was busy. People appear to be waiting a while for food. Food wasn't as hot as it usually was but very nice. Wouldn't go on Sunday again as very busy and not usual service. No complaints on the quality of food.

Another great meal at the Red Lion. The food is hot and freshly cooked and plenty of it, and the staff are friendly and helpful. Thank you to all.

excellent as usual

Must have changed chef! Having eaten here lots of times this is the first time I was disappointed. It was a belated birthday lunch which made me not want to cause a fuss or complain on the day. I had the speciality pirk, mushroom and garlic sausages... 3 sausages no bigger than your little finger. All 3 were overcooked and tough, even burnt on 1 side. The mustard mash was hard and dry. The saving grace was the red cabbage and gravy, both delicious. My friends meals were ok, but the tandoori chicken was not tandoori. It was chicken tikka curry, with no rice even though it was very liquid with lots of sauce, served with a tiny naan bread. Her partner had ham and eggs his only complaint was the hard yolks. As ever the slow service was expected due to business being vey brisk but was very good. The drinks were top notch too. Its a shame this was such a disappointment as The vine is usually amazing. Lets hope it improves for my next visit.

our lunch date went well, very friendly staff, very large menu to select from , nice atmosphere , log fires going well, great service , food was delicious.

Had a wonderful lunch at the Red Lion, food was outstanding and so was the hospitality nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend Thank you all at The Red Lion .

This is our fifth visit and will continue to do so. Staff are friendly and welcoming, service is excellent, food is tasty, good value for money, and always piping hot.

Ambience and food was absolutely lovely, couldn’t fault it at all and would definitely recommend. The only disappointment was the service - arrived for 12.30 when the table was booked, and was asked what we wanted to drink within a couple of minutes but as one of the party was absent from the table, we asked if they could come back. Unfortunately it was 45 mins before we were then asked what drink we wanted, at the same time as our food order (we were clearly forgotten about). Whilst I appreciate the staff were busy, it was no excuse sadly.

Phoned up mid afternoon to see if there was a table. Booked it for 5 and was sat down before that. Food was fab as usual and the service was great.

Lovely meal by a warm fire.. perfect for cold winter evening. Highly recommend the game pie!

Took the parents to red lion earlier in the week to celebrate my father's birthday. All meals were lovely although the parents being older would have preferred thier liver and mash on a plate with a little less gravy other than in a bowl swimming in gravy, all the same they both said how nice and tasty it was. The lady who served us was lovely and ensured we had everything we wanted throughout our time there. Have been here for celebrations previously and would certainly go again. Lovely country pub feel with real fire to keep us warm and well priced, I think you can take dogs in the bar too but not in the main area for eating. Thank you for a pleasant afternoon.

A warm welcome, cosy fire on a cold day and a problem was quickly resolved. Delicious food, would visit again.

Very cosy on this occasion. Helpful staff and food tasty. Average costs these days...all in all good
