 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is one of mine and my dad’s favourite pubs. We just wish we could visit more regularly, but there is about 280 miles that separates us from the Red Lion! Rene, Harry, Kate and the whole team are absolutely brilliant and always make us feel so welcome. The food is consistently excellent, the atmosphere is spot on, and the Neck Oil on tap is always a highlight. What we really love is that it’s a proper, unpretentious pub - no airs or graces, just great food, great people and a genuinely relaxed feel. Thank you so much for making our last visit so special. It really meant a lot. See you again soon… although not soon enough!

The quality of food and price that is very reasonable considering the current pressures in the hospitality sector. Also for those which wish to dine outside , they have a spectacular beer garden.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brilliant! As we were just passing through. The service was very quick and very efficient, the quality of the food was very yummy and for the price to the size of portions was very good value for money. Overall a very professional, pleasant experience, I really enjoyed. I would happily go back there for another meal out.
