The Red Lion Hinxton

Arrived in fantastic weather for an overnight stay whilst visiting the Imperial War museum. Nice reception cold glass in the garden . Shown to our clean room in the garden . Even got a visit from the friendly cat . £30 taxi ride into Cambridge. Upon returning at 9 pm on a Sat night , The pub ( showing football ) was totally deserted. We were the only customers!!! Nice place £28 for a bottle of wine expensive. No tea or coffee in the rooms . Breakfast very average. We would stop again but locals need to use it or lose it !

What a lovely welcome. Following a long drive we fancied a drink before checking in to The Holiday Inn next door. The gentleman at the bar was very jolly and chatty and after a bit of indecision from us he gave us time to sit at a table where we decided to eat. The food was great and all staff bent over backwards to be polite and ensure we were comfortable. Sadly we didn’t stay but will be back to try out the rooms. We stayed once before under old management but it’s clear to see positive improvements being carried out. Thank you.

We were looking forward to some rare roast beef for Sunday lunch. Unfortunately, it was so rare it never arrived at our table! At 1.30pm we were informed that there had been a rush on rare beef and only beef well done was available. Disappointed, we opted instead for lamb - so long as it was cooked rare. What we got was medium to well done lamb. Doubly disappointing. Good service, lovely veg but poorly organised and executed.

Comfortable and quiet room, great breakfast and a delicious dinner. What more could you want. Thanks to Sam for looking after us so well. We will definitely be back. Apparently this review has to be 200 characters long so I will definitely recommend the pork belly….made it!

Very stark and unwelcoming room with the smallest television possible and terrible lighting. Hard floors, a poor quality mattress and torn duvet cover conspire to make this feel like a cheap motel. A loud high pitched buzzing noise in the bathroom was particularly irritating. Everything in and around the pub, rooms and gardens is slightly shabby and uncared for, which is a shame as it is clear the initial investment was made in the buildings. The service on arrival was casual to the point of disinterest, and the restaurant service was equally poor….got the feeling the two people running the establishment found customers quite tedious and inconvenient. The food was okay, but neither inspiring or skilled. Won’t be back…

Premium price but an average experience. Location is its high point.

A lovely old pub, good people, clean and quiet room

Pre booked a table for 8 for fathers day but had to add 1 more place. Staff more than accommodating. Sat in a nice part of the restaurant staff very attentive for our needs. The adults had the roast children had other dishes. The food was excellent called out chef to thank him personally for the food. Took photos to capture the moment. Will definitely call again.

Went to Red Lion, Hinxton, for the tapas evening - absolutely brilliant! All the dishes we had - five I think - were clearly made from scratch with considerable skill and care. They tasted delicious, just as good as in deepest Spain. Excellent service too from smiley waitress and great staff. We’ll be back!!
