Had hock terrine and a delicious chicken dish with warm buttery mash and tender vegetables. Full of flavour. My husband also enjoyed tender beef and a rich warm gravy. He had smoked salmon with warm beetroot as a starter.

Thoroughly enjoyable. Would have liked more

toast to go with the terrine though.

Staff polite and attentive.

Would happily go back

Been going to The Red Lion on and off for over 15 years and various Landlords have come and gone but in that time we have always had great food, and service in a welcoming country inn atmosphere. Sadly my recent visit for a drink and meal under fairly new ownership left me very disappointed and unfortunately I do not feel it is anywhere I would want to return to. The previous character of the pub has been stripped away and it felt bare, cold and lifeless. The radiators (nearly into December) were stone cold and choosing a table by the log fire to avoid a nasty draft, had to be abandoned as smoke was belching over us and into the room. My ordered meal of Shin of Beef took ages to arrive and was covered in a dark, gluey and bitter tasting Bisto type gravy that had formed a skin. The potato was cold and vegetables uninspiring. My husband's meal of Game Pie didn't taste any better, in fact it tasted the same as mine. I was not prepared to waste any more money on a dessert and on leaving overhead some fellow diners complaining that their risottos were undercooked. The only good thing about this pub was the charming young waitress who served this awful meal with a smile. For goodness sake Red Lion, get a new chef and put some soul back into your pub before you turn everyone away and lose a little treasure of a country pub.
