What avroff likes about The Red Lion:
A friendly welcome from the bar person into a traditional style pub atmosphere. Clean and uncluttered but with some interesting features. An extremely inexpensive menu with an 'over-60 ' lunchtime choice available on Tuesday/Wednesday costing less than a tenner for 2 courses. Amazing. The food was well prepared, cooked and served and presented real value. It wasn 't a 'cut-down ' version of the normal menu. View all feedback. What howardeawilliams doesn't like about The Red Lion:
We ate in the Red Lion whilst on holiday recently with several of our friends. The experience was somewhat variable, with two of our party having the Beef Sizzler, which was grossly overcooked with little in the way of vegetable, whilst others had Fish and chips which was excellent. Mixed bag really. View all feedback.

A Very friendly welcome and they gave the dogs a biscuit and a drink too. The over 60s menu very good and we had a lovely meal.

The Red Lion offers a mixed dining experience, with some dishes like the Fish and Chips and Gammon being excellent, while others like the Beef Sizzler and Steak and Ale Pie fall short. The atmosphere is described as cozy and friendly, with good service and large portion sizes at reasonable prices. Despite a few minor flaws, the pub seems to be a popular spot among locals and visitors alike, with a traditional feel and a dog-friendly policy. Overall, the Red Lion comes recommended for a casual meal with friends or family in a charming setting.
