Another excellent visit to the Red Lion, the food and service was to a very high standard as always. The service was to a high standard and the food was outstanding. The orange bread and butter pudding was to die for. Please put it on your excellent menu more often. .

Good food but would have been even better if alternative options had been found when ordering a gluten free version, rather than just removing the gluten, so ended up with no Yorkshire pudding, cauliflower cheese or the stuffing.

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) 🐾🐾
