The Red Lion

Old fashioned pub, lovely atmosphere, open fire good beer and food, hosts and food great try the onion rings

My rice was cold and chillie didn’t taste of anything my wife’s lasagna was strange tasting tomato soup was also very strange and roll was warm and soggy , but the worst bit was the flies there were so many at one point we had 7 on are table 3 landed in my dinner just put me off completely in general the place needs a good clean under tables were full of grim my chair had a broken arm rest and the place was very cold in general as well I really wish I hadn’t bothered going in but you live and learn and won’t be going back . Reading other reviews it seems people are more interested in portion size than quality shame as exterior is beautiful

Visited lunch time 15th July 24, this was not our first visit but last time was such a good meal we had to give it another try. Meal choice was again very good with specials as well. Quality of the food is good and sizeable portions. Service was friendly and efficient. Good selection of beers, wines and non alcoholic. What’s not to like. Give it a go I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

Having heard from other locals that the food here was good, so when the opportunity came up to have lunch with a friend for our 8 weekly moan put world to rights lunch event Red Lion it was. Midweek arrived to a few folk entering and then saw sign bookings recommended. They had a wake going on in main dining room but accommodated us in the traditional bar area at a nice table. We were greeted by friendly young chatty waitresses who were delightful. We had a laugh with them when we ordered asking for extra gravy with the pie. The starter came out very generous and beautifully fresh side salad on side. The pic came out with mash & fresh veg along with extra gravy. The gravy was what I call proper gravy even has bits of meat in it not this instant stuff. Lots of chatting lovely unrushed lunch with attentive staff and great food. The menu is small and concise portions are large. The menu they do really well and saw other wonderful food coming out the kitchen. If you want traditional clean friendly pub with decent food you have found it here. To finish the meal we had coffee which being a coffee geek, I ordered with bated breath but it came out freshly ground coffee wonderful thoroughly enjoyed the visit. So much I am taking the wife for lunch there tomorrow. We are local to the area and like to support good food establishments which this is one, oh and they serve Bateman. Can remember from younger days waking with a Batemans headache from serious over indulgence but older and wider now !!

Lovely country inn I used the Red Lion for a one night stay after attending an event in nearby East Kirkby. This is a lovely character property that feels nice and rural but is well connected by road. The room was a good size, with a 3 seater sofa, desk and chair and two chairs and small table by the window in addition to the double bed. Also, plenty of storage and a lovely view out over the garden. The bathroom could have done with a bit of TLC and the very small wall-mounted TV might have been an irritation for a longer stay (but I didn't really need it). And the enormous breakfast was delicious and certainly set me up for the drive home (and beyond).

A wholesome pub. This is a no frills pub with traditional food. Such generous portions and a cracking choice of puddings. Nothing fancy but I have not had a bad meal here. Possibly a dated dining room, but that makes me love it more. I recommend the fish and chips.
