As always a great experience always welcoming and friendly, great service and always make a fuss of our little dog Bailey. Lovely food (slight issue with the hand cut chips but no problem) ate too much as normal including a dessert of a few scoops of delicious banoffee ice cream Thanks to everyone again will be back again soon. Cheers Ian & Anne (Bailey) 🐾🐾

The red lion in Cranford is our favourite pub to visit. Every time we visit the service is prompt, our food comes out fairly quick, really hot and fresh. The menu is varied and has a good choice. We always return.
