We had a great meal to kick off a stag party. Even though we were a large table, the food quality and service was excellent. Thank you
I love this place and the food is always really good! My only complaint is the size of the Scallops which are the smallest I’ve ever seen! They taste lovey but I think they cost £14 which isn’t worth it for the size
Had a great lunch, lovely atmosphere, fantastic food and a really attentive team. It was clear all
the diners were made to feel welcome and well looked after.
Great place to eat or just a drink in an evening. I have tried both.
See you guys again soon.
We have eaten here on a few occasions recently and the food has always been excellent. Sunday dinner today was delicious. I visited with my wife and sister in law. (Her first visit) Beef was chosen by all of us and it was first class. Generous portions!
We followed with 3 rhubarb desserts. Again first class! Friendly service with a smile. Couldn’t ask for more. Nearly 3 hours later and after an excellent coffee time to leave with a full stomach and a smile on our face.
Nice Christmas lunch and professional waitress. Turkey portion too large for us but probably well received but younger people would be pleased. Great potatoes and parsnips and carrot. Stuffing dry and cut out of a square block. Brussels only shown the hot water and I like them cooked but not mushed. Overall a nice meal and will go again.
Faultless (and I never say that about restaurants!). Came for lunch today to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The steaks were the best I’ve had, food, drinks, atmosphere, cleanliness, all on point. Friendly staff and great chefs! Found our new favourite!
"Wow" is all you need to know... We stayed with Basil the pony down the road and booked in here for our evening meal. The host was lovely and friendly, and the food was incredible! They were really good about adjusting meals for our fussy children, too. Highly recommend it.
Thank you for having us!

Photos are of the taster evening.
Great experience, friendly staff and the food was fantastic.
Keep up the good work everyone.
Had the tasting menu at the Red Lion last night. It was excellent. Each course was well presented and the food was delicious.
We didn’t have the flight of wines, but chose our own selection.
There was a good turn out, as it appears to be a very popular venue.
Would definitely go again.
Wonderful vegetarian tart, beetroot was cooked to perfection. Thank you to the chef for taking the initiative and providing a delicious meal.
Visited on Monday with relatives from Australia. 10 out of 10 for the food. I had the chicken Kiev, absolutely delicious and I was told the other 3 dishes were also delicious 😋
3rd roast dinner here in as many months. I won’t risk going anywhere else now, why bother when you find somewhere great? The beef is absolutely gorgeous, so tender and full of flavour. The veg is perfect, blanched to crunchy perfection. Roast carrots, insane mash and real gravy. The manageress never stops running around making sure everyone is enjoying their stay and the atmosphere is peak English cosy pub.
Side note… went on New Year’s Eve and had potentially the best Caesar salad ever.
Ps The house red and Sauvignon are excellent and they have Mahou on draft
Had a pleasant evening . All OK and would like to come back again. On the night we were there i am assuming most of the staff were new and inexperienced. Service was rather hit and miss.Hopefully a one off. For that reason marked it as a four that being said we would return as food was good and setting very pleasant.
We’d been on a dog walk and stopped here for a drink and some snacks. Sat outside under a warm patio heater
The food was amazing!!!
We finally managed to eat here and it was well worth the wait. A lovely post birthday Sunday lunch. Great food & perfect service. Thank you!
Lovely girl who served us the food was delicious I had the bangers and mash will go there again🤗
