What james987123 doesn't like about The Red Lion, Boldre:
Lovely pub and good food. Haven't been for a while but from memory portions felt smaller.. but could have been what I ordered. Dessert prices seem a little high compared to other pubs. Overall love the pub and ambience and the friendly staff.. if we visit forest next year definitely hope to eat here. View all feedback. What User likes about The Red Lion, Boldre:
the red lion is a good pub near the new forest. I broke into a farm with a friend after a work to eat something at lunchtime. the lunch menu was very convenient in view of the pubs. I had a sausage and fried tweebel baguette with chips, the costa fair £10. as a brewery pub they had forty nine on hahn and ringwood best. I would not make a special trip from bournemouth there, but have no problems if in the opposite. View all feedback.
