Cycled from Rushmere park to the pub for pizza. Ordered two burgers and they were very delicious. Very cosy decor and beautiful big garden with views. Friendly staff

I attended a fantastic wedding party at the Old Red Lion. Does not do them often but it is a brilliant outside location for one. The long garden seems to reach out to the stunning sunset and the view is just the best. The staff were excellent and did all they could for the evening. The decking area provided a great dance floor and the patio heaters kept the drinkers warm when the sun went down. The wood oven pizzas produced in the garden were superb and among the best I have had. The bar sticks excellent ales and wines and all tastes are catered for. A tremendous night to celebrate a beautiful wedding. The Old Red Lion did us proud.

We regularly visit for drinks and have eaten a few times (first three pics from a previous visit). Last night we were tempted by the yummy pizzas! Service was fab considering the temperatures and how busy they'd been all afternoon. Love this pub and would recommend to anyone 😁

We stopped off here after our woodland walk. We had a drink and sat out the back on the decking area. The staff were very friendly and the pub was clean and welcoming.

Lunch for the two of us, our first visit and unlikely to be our last. Poor weather meant sitting inside; pity... the garden looked like a lovely place to be. Good menu - for us - with sandwiches, pizzas and more substantial meals.

Recently held my family reunion here. Julia was excellent and ensured that everything ran smoothly. Easily held a function for 30 people in the side room. Food was great quality and was able to cater for a range of dietary needs.

Absolutely brilliant pub. The pub itself is clean and well kept, the decoration is modern but suitable for such an old building. The toilets were absolutely immaculate. The drinks choice, while a little expensive, was good, need to carbonate the Fizzy drinks a bit more though. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. The real treat is the drinking garden which boasts stunning views. I would highly recommend this pub

Cycled past here countless times and finally decided to visit this old historic pub in what is a lovely village. Think they've had a bit of work done on the interior as it has a nice modern feel, half bar and half restaurant. The views are fab and on a sunny afternoon the patio space would be equally good. They've also converted one of the outhouses to hold a wood fired pizza oven and what we saw coming out looked good. We all had Sunday roast and the kid's portion was decent and half the normal price. We've had a few Sunday lunches out this year and this is as up there with the best. Well cooked tender beef, good roasties and equally well cooked veg; all plates went back empty. Small dessert selection was just as good and we left very happy. We did have a slight wait for our mains but it was acceptable for us and also understandable as we came at 1.30pm which is towards the end of the lunch period (12 to 2pm). We could see the staff were all working hard and they did offer apologies at the end for the wait and slight confusion over our mains but none of that had impacted our experience in any way. The two ladies who mainly took care of us were great and really pleasant even when having a tough time. Delicious Sunday Lunch and good drinks meant we'd be back for sure and would happily recommend.
