Great traditional home made pub food. And a pleasant pub and friendly staff
Super pub and huge on the inside. Great outdoor garden and front patio area is also good for catching the sun and watching the world go by.
Sunday roasts are a must as we had had many recommendations to try one which we did late last year.
Our most recent visit was for a small lunch and drink.
I had the chicken club sandwich which comes with triple cooked chips and it was excellent and very well priced. We also tried the steak sandwich again very very nice.
The pub is super dog friendly with lots of water bowls and not too cramped inside.
Only criticism is there was lots of staff members which can sometimes counter act how long you wait to be served, but the bar was very quick and we did wave down some one to help order our food but we're looked over a few times as I can only assume they thought we were already being served.
Well worth a visit and will be back.

Great pub, good design and very popular. A Fuller's pub, there's an above average number of taps with a very good selection, which isn't a surprise as the Fuller's brewery is just down the road in Chiswick.
Went for Sunday Lunch, you'll definitely need to reserve your spot. Roast was excellent.
It's rare to find a really good Sunday roast in a pub, but the Red Lion offers one of genuinely high quality. Very tasty, good variety of veg and sides - you can tell a bit of thought and care has gone into it. Very impressed.
I loved this pub.
It has a great vibe, trendy decoration, outstanding customer service and tasty food.
The cod with cauliflower mash and fried calamari and prawns was superb. The wine options are great. Portions are not big but reasonably priced and full of fresh flavours.
There is a beautiful garden to enjoy in summer or warmer days and plenty of parking ( inform the pub that you have parked to avoid a fine!)
Just went for a drink yesterday and as usual, great service and a lovely wine range!
What a lovely meal we have just enjoyed. Great service from Sid, Shaun and the staff. Thank you for your patience with us being late, had elderly mother in tow! Cannot recommend this pub enough. Lovely atmosphere, friendly, warm staff and great food!
Honestly, I'm still amazed at the quality of food this place pumps out. For the price, ease, and quality you'd think you'd have to make a reservation at a fancy restaurant but not at the Red Lion. The Norfolk Chicken Milanese will blow you away as will anything else you order. Such a gem of a pub.
Always had great service here, food is always spot on and specials always change 👍 Lovely decor and seating available, plus there’s a warm fire place. Fresh flowers are placed around and many other small touches that bring a very cosy ambience.
Buy the baked spiced cauliflower. Clue: what looks like eggs isn't. Absolutely amazing, and more than reasonable prices for London. Great pint of London Pride.
Lovely place. I chose it as it looked like a nice place to end a summer bike ride along the Thames path with my grown up daughters and it was a perfect decision. It is a beautiful pub in the villagesque setting of Barnes, with a very chilled outside seating area (but the inside pub looked great as well). The staff were all super friendly and welcoming, the service was prompt, and the whole ambience was perfect. We went for a meat burger, a vegan burger, and the chicken schnitzel which were all just right (the schnitzel was home made and served with a very fresh fennel slaw). The menu looked like it had something for everyone at a range of prices to suit everyone, and the bar was well stocked with decent ales, ciders etc.
Would thoroughly recommend.
We arrived around 5 and there wasn't place for us. But the lady who talked to us tried to accommodate 8 of us (4 adults and 4 kids) . In the end we decided to sit outside and another lovely member of the staff made sure the heaters were in good working order. Food was delicious and the staff made us feel welcomed. Sure we will be back. Thanks for the Hospitality.
Second visit since moving to the area and it just seems to get better! Superb Sunday roast, dessert was yum and fab wine list. Lovely attentive staff, service was fantastic. We were able to stay over our allocated slot time and they were super flexible with my family’s requests. Gorgeous settings and a nice beer garden and grill too, my little one enjoyed exploring!
A roast with a decent wine will set you back about £35- expensive, but honestly it’s worth the price tag imo. Keep up the superb job team, Barnes are lucky to have The Red Lion.
Hosted a School End of Year for Parents. Always hard to find the right venue to suit all. The Red Lion was perfect , great service, good food and drink and excellent happy and smiling waiting staff. Super good value for money and guests were all very happy and looked after. Well done Red Lion Management Team Claire and Angus, superb experience from booking the event to last orders. Hats off.
Lovely pub next to the WWT in Barnes. If you haven't yet been, give it a go.
During the day, they have some wonderful outside seats.
I was walking along the Thames Path and I took a detour. After passing a wetlands park I came to this lovely pub. I sampled the beer and then had the chicken and leek pie. Everything was wonderful. The service was fast and professional. The barman gave me good advice about the rest of my wandering. I thank them for this pleasant interlude.
brilliant selection of drinks and super friendly staff. beautiful venue too. highly recommended. worth checking special board as well.
As someone who loves pubs, this is definitely the best in Barnes without doubt. Couldn't recommend it enough if you're looking for a well looked after, friendly pub, with a fantastic beer and wine selection no need to look any further. The menu changes regularly and it's nice to see the chefs with a bit of creativity and make what they want, with a great seasonal range.
Without a doubt the best roast in west London (and probably the whole city!) Exceptionally tender lamb shank, excellent pork and the accompaniments are all beautifully cooked. Service is exceptional as well. Equally delightful in summer on the terrace and in winter to warm up! 5 star.
