Nice pub, good food, tasty beer and good service. This is a busy place so getting a table might be tricky for walk-ins, but worth a stop if you've come to Port Isaac. A great selection of St Austell beers and a decent menu. I went with the fish and chips which was very nice. I really thought the fish was fresh tasting and loved the chips. The other dish is ham eggs and chips, and boy was the ham fantastic, really thick and full of flavour.
Price wise it was about average for the area with food being about £15-18 for mains.
Well worth a visit!
This is a charming pub in a beautiful location overlooking Port Isaac, Cornwall.
The staff are really friendly here and very welcoming of pets.
We dropped in for late lunch and ordered several small plates, of which I'd recommend the Squid, sardines, prawns, and Oysters. These were really light, but very tasty. For mains, we got fish and chips and muscles, and they've got to be the biggest portion I've ever had! They were fresh and massive. Everything was served with nice bread.
Overall, the service was great, and the food was too excellent, I definelty recommend stopping by here for a drink and bite to eat.
The "Crab and Lobster" of Port Isaac, Red Lion has a classic British pub feel. Stop in for a pint after a nice walk about or anytime for a great lunch and/or dinner. My husband and I both went to enjoy the classic fish and chips for dinner and were amazed at the size of the fish we got! One piece was definitely enough, and I especially loved adding the vinegar for a bit of tang. The chips were served hot and crispy and in the right amount.
There's seating on multiple floors, including a small outdoor patio area that fills up fast, but the main floor is bright and cozy, and the bartenders were very friendly and engaging. Since there aren't a ton of restaurants in Port Isaac, there's a good chance you will find yourself here. Enjoy it! The drink, the food and the people are amazing and make you feel welcome.
Awesome pub. Fab food , lovely staff and the setting is just perfect. Sir on the balcony looking over port isaac slipway and beach. Famous port Isaac , home to Doc Martin and fishermans Friends. Don't miss out. It's our Happy Place.
Excellent pub. We only had a drink, but like everyone it reminds you of Doc Martin & Fishermean's Friends..
Lovely village and well worth a visit.
A word of warning if your mobility is a problem there are very steep hills around the village.
This is a proper coastal pub. Excellent views overlooking the harbour and good selection of Cornish Ales. Staff friendly.
Must vist if you love Fisherman Friends & Dr Martin, friendly staff, amazing drinks.
Went down to the harbour bay, enjoyed going across the rock pool to the caves to explore
Bookings are done via the website.
The restaurant itself is very popular.
The food is amazing and prices are fair.
The staff are really friendly and very helpful.
Orders are given at the bar by the patrons and not the staff.
Ventilation could be a little better as it was very hot even though the windows were open. An oscillating stand up fan would have made a difference.
The view over the harbour is quite spectacular.
All in all,a great place to eat and socialize with friends or family.
Stunning place. 1st time in port Issac but definitely not the last. The Golden Lion is a lovely pub with amazing views of the harbor. We will be back.
Never disappoints. Lovely atmosphere and very talented chef! Best Sunday roast we've had anywhere!
