Decent little pub. Visited the place for the office Christmas meal . Had the misfortune of visiting on the very day their heating was down. The staff tried to fix it by ensuring all the electric heaters were turned on. Unfortunately it was still cold. The food was freshly prepared and brought out on time. Friendly and courteous staff made the experience enjoyable.
I'm the wrong person to be judging/evaluating traditional food. But I'll give it a go.
Starter- chicken and pheasant terrine. The flavours worked well and the crispy toasted (muffins?) were good.
Mains- slow cooked beef. I'm told by my friends that it was done very well and they enjoyed it.
Dessert- kumquat Christmas pudding - absolutely delicious and a decent sized portion for those who love their desserts.
Have a look at the pictures for reference.
I plan on coming in another time to try out their normal venue. I'm sure with heating on, the ambience of the pub would be lovely. They have a few seats beside the fireplace and ona wintry day that would the best spot in the pub!

We liked this rustic pub, its ambience and lovely young staff who were so nice and polite and welcoming. We had texted using the enail address from the website and no reply so called by for a drink and explained. We booked for the following Sun and Emma was so apologetic promising us a good table and wine!!!! We enjoyed a cool table in the bar and a delicious loin of lamb with all the usual roast veg. The gravy was delicious as was my lamb though not pink. Homemade mint sauce a great extra. Veg cooked perfectly. Nothing to fault the lunch if a tad pricey at £22.50. The drinks were costly. My spritizer over £8.00 Our bill total over £70 for drinks light nibbles crackling and apple sauce to die for and olives and one course. We thanked staff and tipped as service was very good. Did we get complimentary wine??? Asking Emma about the website she said the email worked ok. On looking again I noted the email address now in RED and altered slightly. Why? No idea nor had Emma when I emailed. My advice is telephone to be sure.

Had an amazing meal and stayed in the car park in our campervan for no extra charge. Innovative food made with great skill and an understanding of flavours and unusual combinations. Delicious.

My friend and I had lunch today at the red lion and we both had the cod which in my opinion was the best fish and chips ever dessert wasnt half bad either ,Emma and her husband are rightly proud of their pub and the food served there , it was a joy to eat and will look forward to going back.

Fantastic food and service. Brilliant a la carte menu and a special of roast beef to choose from. Susie and the two other young ladies were attentive but not overbearing. We will be back to try the other menus
Could not fault any of our 3 courses. Emma and Fraser should be extremely proud.

Good to see it open and doing well. Lovely staff, food was nice if your not a veggie!! Would benefit from another member of staff, but as we know times are so hard for the hospitality trade.

Really delicious food and lovely vibe, with such a personal service by a lovely husband and wife team, clearly very passionate about the food and the village. We'll be back!

This place holds some history for me and my better half so we decided to visit to celebrate our 7 year anniversary tonight.
I haven’t stepped foot in the place for 10 years. But after eating the food tonight we will be back very very soon.
It was incredible!
Really love what you have done to the place and the food is beautiful, thank you.

Fantastic local pub. Absolutely thrilled to have this on the doorstep. The menu is sophisticated and well done, and the atmosphere is quintessential country pub. Can't wait to spend more time here in future.
