We booked for Sunday lunch with some friends. A pub that was half way between us. We walked in to a very friendly atmosphere. We noticed that the restaurant was ready laid and apart from the bar. Immediately we sat down drinks order was taken and, what seemed immediately, drinks arrived. Great service, so far. We all ordered their Sunday roast. Choice of four or five meats. The plates of food arrived, the HOT plates. Now that was a nice change. Normally it is on cold plates. Kept the food hot throughout the eating. The plates were overflowing with delicious meats, numerous vegetables, real roast potatoes and a large Yorkshire pud. So much that a few of us never did finish it all. Coffee was delicious, well after that meal we couldn't face a dessert. Service was brilliant and friendly, yet professional. Would I go back again. A definite YES.

The beer is always good and shows that they take care and pride in the maintenance of the beer lines. Food is typical pub food, it's not a gastro pub and doesn't pretend to be. Portions sizes are reasonable as are the prices, food is always served hot and prompt. The real jewel in the crown though is the beer garden, a raised patio gives way to a nice lawned play area perfect for kids and all surrounded by trees that border the fields it sits within. Dogs are allowed but obviously kept on leads. Slightly off the beaten track but worth finding, especially on a hot summers day.

It seems to have had something of a makeover recently as parts of it look a little bit more like a restaurant now. I've eaten here on several occasions and most times have found the food to be excellent, only once was I disappointed when the portion seemed a little small, perhaps it was their last serving! The food isn't particularly cheap but the service is good and the bar staff are friendly and there is a warm and welcoming atmosphere. There is a big outdoor area with picnic tables which gets very crowded with diners in the Summer, and also a big car park. I would definitely recommend this pub for a visit the food is generally very good.

There is a conservatory at the back and a large beer garden for kids to play in. At Christmas they dedicate an area to a big grotto kind of thing to raise money for charity, which is really nice. Quite a big parking area outside, it is on a narrow country lane and quite hard to find unless you know its there. It is in a nice countryside location but a little but run down. Worth popping in for a pint as it does have a homely feel to it, and there's not much else in the immediate vicinity.

The bar staff behind the bar today was talking about them in a bad manner was standing around and really looked board. She was talking to i guess her group and one customer had to get her attention as she was not watching. This pub was getting back on its feet and Hayley and Darren was fantastic I even hear that Sam and Serena are not allowed there jobs back either. This is so sad to see and I for one will not be returning I did see the new manger but he was having g a drink with his friends that have now moved into the pub so he was not interested in the pub. I heard how he has been what to do by his boss and can't go against him..so to top the red lion off. Don't bother visiting if you want to drink or have snacks as they always run out.

The food here is really very good and it gets extremely busy in the Summer months, when the pretty garden is packed with diners. Food prices are slightly above your average pub but the food is very good, I suspect a lot of it is home made and not just bought in from the Cash and Carry. Service has always been very good. There is a small car park on site but you can usually park somewhere out on the main street if this is full
