The Red Lion

We went for a Sunday lunch on a recommendation, I have to add that I never rate Sunday lunches normally. I have to say the recommendation was spot on. A simply fabulous plate of roast beef heaven! Fabulous tender beef accompanied with lovely crispy fluffy roasts and an impressive Yorkshire pudding. The vegetables were fabulous cooked to perfection with a bite and so tasty. We added cauliflower cheese which was lovely and was perfect to share. We followed up with a shared South African Malva pudding. Wow oh wow simply stupendous. All in all a great Sunday treat. All combined with attentive and friendly service. Thank you all

I had my 50th party at the Lion of Beaconsfield and I cannot thank the pub and staff enough for their effort, friendliness, professionalism and all-round energy in making it such a memorable day and evening. Lauretta is an outstanding pub manager and she helped plan, prepare and keep the whole place buzzing. Drinks kept flowing and the food, as always, was outstanding. Anyone wishing for a special event, whether it's an exclusive room or the whole pub (all day or evening) should not hesitate making enquiries. It is so refreshing to see a local pub run for locals by locals. Bravo!

I rarely leave reviews but have just come home from The Lion and had to give praise where it is so deservedly due. We've eaten here or popped in for a drink several times and never been disappointed. We always enjoy the ambience, the fire and the warm welcome from Lauretha and the team. Tonight though we were lucky enough to try out the new menu and it was wonderful. Starters of duck bon bons, tempura prawns ans cod cubes were excellent ( especially the light.crisp cod) and the wings were fantastic- the only bit of feedback there would be that of the three sauces accompanying the chicken, we would have liked one that was super spicy. As for the mains,they were delicious. One teen said his burger was the best he had ever had, the other raved about his chicken schnitzel. The absolute standout though was the slow cooked lamb pie which was easily one of the best things my husband and I have eaten in a gastro pub for a long time. Great depth of flavour!! The gravy with it should be bottled. In fact it was so good that I mentioned to Lauretha that it was crying out for some mash to go with it and she very kindly had some made for us even though it wasn't on the menu. That was the cherry on the cake. The lamb pie ( with mash please ) should be a staple on the autumn /winter menu-it was exactly the kind of elevated comfort food we all want at this time of year. Huge compliments to the chef and to all the friendly front of house team. We'll be back soon.
