An authentic local pub, with a strong local clientele, deep in the countryside - the approach is along narrow roads with occasional passing places, but the signposts are unusually helpful. The staff are outstandingly hospitable and tolerant; the menu is varied, the range of beer and wine wide. A place to lift the heart. We did not have time to visit the Stodmarsh Nature Reserve, but if ever we have the chance we'll be back.
Just enjoyed a really great Sunday Lunch !!!
Roast Turkey with pigs in blankets and every possible veg including cauliflower cheese , veg dishes bought to the table thick gravy and cranberry sauce . Perfect !!!
Anyone reading this who liked the Fordwich Arms when Sean and Sue ran it would love this pub !!!!!
It’s a proper 3 pints of Guinness great roast dinner bottle of heavy red and back for the 4 30 kick off .
We have definitely found our great local Sunday lunch pub .
The well spoken brunette is charm personified. !!
It was a random pop in on a Monday evening. Quite pleasant. Has been a while since I had been there. Last time Robert was the landlord. Met the new owners, very pleasant, too quiet, so I can't comment on the atmosphere. Will go again for food as only had drinks. Looking forward to it. But quick service a nice ale.
A lovely little place tucked out of the way. They serve a lovely selection of food at a very reasonable price. The main staff are very friendly and enjoy a little banter, such a nice change these days. And if you are an ale drinker, you wont be disappointed. Well done ladies 😁
Fabulous dinner last night in a very friendly, cosy pub… lovely, relaxed atmosphere, terrific home made dishes, great wine list and very reasonably priced !
Stayed here with my family, Sarah (landlady) is very welcoming, great local friendly pub atmosphere. The rooms we stayed in were lovely, homely feel, comfy beds, very clean, with a little fridge, drink facilities, water jugs etc. Served full English for breakfast, which was great with everything you could want (sausage, bacon, black pudding, eggs, mushrooms and tomatoe). Will definitely be returning.
Had lunch last week, nice menu, enough choice without being too much. Had pot roast chicken, and a friend had sea bass. Food was excellent as was the service. Friendly and welcoming.
Went for dinner last night. With my puppy and friend with her dog. My puppy can be cheeky and bark indoors. Finding somewhere supportive for training him and getting used to meals out. Hasn't been the easiest. But can safely say they where exceptional. Let alone how amazing the food was on top of fantastic service.
Popped in for lunch and enjoyed the main courses of Pot Roasted Chicken and the Pan Fried Sea Bass, both presented superbly and tasted as good as they looked. And had to indulge in desserts of course.
So great to have the Red Lion open again, restored and improved.
A little drive out we found this country inn tucked away in Stodmarsh. I was treated to fathersday dinner. Service & food superb. Will be back ASAP.
Charming country Inn. Well worth a visit
Beautiful Gardens too for a summer ☀️ drink.
