A quite nice pub.
The decoration is typical pub. Toons of different beers and other drinking options. The service is correct and pleasant. To conclude prices are right.
I recommend it to everyone.
Fabulous service and good food. Hubby had fish and chips and the fish took up his whole plate. I had smoked salmon, much like lox. Very good. The stairs are very narrow, so beware of imbibing too much!
Pies baby! Damn good pies!
Yes I’m reviewing this as an American who went to this delightful restaurant on his Holliday. Our tour guide pointed it out mentioning how “Red Lion” was a common name and my wife and I decided to try it. He should started with “If you want some delicious meat pies that give you a taste of British cuisine, go there!”
Also dope toffee pudding… get it.
Didn’t have reservations but they gave us a table as long as we could be done by about 8pm due to the tables being reserved at that time. The four of us ate our meals which were very good, had a drink and desert and we finished just before 8pm as we got there around 6:30pm. The service was great and the food was very tasty.
An old bar with lots of history and you can feel it with the pictures in the atmosphere around you. The pie was small but quite enough for a small snack for two and the drink Was delightful and not expensive compared to the pubs in the area.
Pork pie with mustard was good. The courgette and mozzarella salad was good. My husband loved his fish and chips. The scones with strawberry jam was delish!!! Great atmosphere happy to experience it.
After visiting the Parliament and Big Ben area, we stopped by this historical pub. Lived up to its reputation, it was packed and filled with suits lol. According to the pub, Charles Dickens and Sr Churchill were regulars here. Nice beer selection and of course we tried a few. I enjoyed the New England Pale Road Soda. Actually had a several of them hahaha. I say check it out.
Very crowded. Nobody told us we were supposed to go to the bar to order. Food came out fast. It was the best food I've had in London. I had a mini beef pie. Perfect size for lunch
We loved this Historical Pub, where Sir Winston Churchill, among many other notables, quaffed a pint or two. And the mini steak pie was so good we brought 9 others back later in the week with us to try it out. Must stop by and raise a toast.
Charlene is so welcoming and warm. She is the reason we were able to experience the charm of this pub. Not only was she gracious to us, though we observed her kindness to all potential guests as she greeted them just outside of the door.
We visited at a busy time, lunch time, on a Tuesday after a holiday. We were seeking a place to take a break from our walking so that we could enjoy a glass of wine. At first it seemed there was not going to be space for us, so Charlene was pointing out other options for us. While she was talking with us, she noticed a table become available outside and we were very happy to accept this spot as it provided a great vantage point to watch the hustle and bustle of the area. When it looked like rain was imminent and some people had vacated tables inside, she offered us a beautiful table just inside the front, which allowed us to maintain our great view.
She pointed out the menu to us and made many suggestions. We already had late lunch reservations elsewhere, so we were not able to try the food this visit, though we will likely be back based on her recommendation. She did suggest making a reservation as it is a busy spot. There is a dining room upstairs, though we would be likely to want to dine in the pub.
They did have chardonnay by the glass for our first round, though when we went back for a second glass they were out. We selected the rose for the second glass. We prefer the chardonnay so hopefully that will be back in stock before our next visit.
Thank you, Charlene!
We had dinner at this busy pub near the UK parliament and Big Ben. Loved the fish and chips and the dessert with custardy ice cream. Reasonable prices (for London) and friendly service at the table.
