Lunch was arranged by a friend, never been to this pub before, so I read the on line menu. Honestly I first thought the menu too simple and perhaps a bit plain. However I am so glad that we went. The welcome and service from staff was professional and attentive. Fabulous Gin choice if that’s your thing. We sat in the dining room which was very Christmassy but not over the top. Now for the food, it was superb. I cannot praise this pub highly enough for it quality of food. I had the soup of the day wild mushroom and chestnut it was delicious and the Fish Pie, it was packed with fish and a very generous portion too. This chef knows exactly what he is doing. Highly recommend this pub you won’t be disappointed.
A lovely country pub serving great food at very reasonable prices. Their signature dish of rotisserie chicken was delicious...plus the portion was sizeable! Good wines, beer, cocktails and more over the service was attentive and very friendly. Would highly recommend for a casual meal or a celebration but perhaps its not a high end occasion restaurant.
The restaurant was fully booked, always a good sign. So we ordered our food and ate in the bar. Absolutely delicious, homemade food, even the salad was so perfectly dressed, I didn’t want it to end. We visit the area 2-3 times a year so will definitely be going back. What an absolute treat, great food, good atmosphere, friendly, helpful, knowledgeable staff. We couldn’t leave a tip as there was no option on the pdq, so we felt bad about that. Also a fabulous selection of Gin, Tonic and garnish!
Fabulous food again yesterday , consistent as always , good menu and great service from the staff , would def recommend 👍
This pub is warm and friendly with great staff and food. We’ve just had the best Sunday roast we’ve ever eaten.
Have never had a bad meal here,took some Canadian friends with us and they loved it.
There was a mix up with our order, I'm not sure that we would have noticed the delay but our lovely waitress came and apologised and it was resolved.
The Gammon was good and the Stroganoff and Pie of the day,only thing wrong not one of us could manage a pudding.
Highly recommend food and sevice excellent.
Another beautiful home made meal. Lovely atmosphere, great friendly staff.
Couldn't fault anything. Complements to the chef our food was gorgeous. We will definitely be returning soon. Merry Christmas to you all.

Just been for a quick lunch with my wife and was so impressed with red lion, the barman who served us was superb, he was polite, friendly and above all human. Excellent. The food was first class and prompt, we will definitely be going back, a massive well done to the Red lion, 100% excellent.
Popped in here on the way home from work for a pint in the sweltering weather.
I had heard about this place, had seen pictures from reviews that showed Bass on tap.
So I was eager to have the opportunity to pop in.
They have little on tap in terms of ales and no Bass.
However, everything else is absolutely fine, a very fine village pub, staff are as friendly as you’d expect for a Staffordshire pub (which is usually pretty friendly), decent price on the pint of Pedi and some nice historical photos on the walls of the village. I reckon the food’s pretty good too looking at the menu.
All you need really, just a shame about the lack of Bass.
Just my opinion, but I wish there were more pubs in Staffordshire with Bass on tap, it’s all Pedi/Marston’s stuff and ales you’d see in any other pub in the country.
Again, want to stress that’s just a personal nitpick, it’s really a very good village pub! 😊
Really lovely pub lunch, quiet Saturday (but day before father's Day!) but the staff suggested eating outside, which was perfect. Staff really welcoming - couldn't fault it at all, food all delish -will be back 👍🏼

I've often driven past the Red Lion in Newborough and thought "What a nice pub, we must visit." With Saturday night being date night, this was our destination of choice.
As we had not booked in advance (highly recommended) and being busy, the welcoming bar room was our dining area. Drinks were ordered and the friendly and efficient service offered was exceptional. Before we could choose our food, a table in the restaurant had been made available.
Being vegetarian/pescararian, there was a large selection on the menu (decisions, decisions!), including a vegan option. My choice of spiced halloumi was wonderful and my wife was happy to be able to choose a lighter version of fish and chips - with many meals on the menu offered as a smaller portion.
Desert? Of course! Great drinks? Definitely? A warm welcome, attentive staff and a friendly atmosphere? Absolutely!
Will we visit again? Guaranteed!
Used to go there a lot but had heard midling reports more recently. Ignore these as the food was excellent and the service great. Recommend
Lovely cosy and friendly pub. Staff are very welcoming. Lovely beer garden at the back. Plenty of car parking. I really enjoyed the food, fresh, tasty, and filling. Also locally sourced.
Me and Sharon go there and the neighbours and it was really nice had a live concert there and barbecue food and a hog roast and we've had takeaway food from there as well and a good selection of beers and the staff are brilliant thank you for a brilliant day👍🥰😁. Nick
Very nice food and polite staff and good value as well
Had a wonderful meal in a very cosy atmosphere. The steak was amazing, best I've had in years. Service was swift, then a lovely drink in the bar with a roaring open fire. Couldnt be bettered.
