We had a really lovely Sunday Lunch there today. The homemade soup was amazing followed by roast beef with Yorkshire pudding and several veg. Finally homemade apple crumble and real custard. We will be going again soon. Thanks to Vin and Gina for making the pub a place you just love to visit.

Started off with drinking an Ale. Choice of three. This was excellent. No issues with the quality. Driving do could only have the one. For lunch I ate fish and chips. This was excellent. The batter was light and crisp, the chips were chunky and excellent. A couple of nice sides, mint peas, mayo and tomato sauce. Another diner asked for French fries instead of chunky chips and received these. My partner went for two small dishes, Scotch egg made with a black pudding crust. The yolk was lovely and runny. Her other dish was some lovely prawns, presented in a bowl of sauce with chillies. She was very pleased. The service was pleasant, we were made to feel welcome.

They are making a really good effort at opening up for "Al fresco" dining. We had bavette steak with chimchurri sauce and Cajun fries, very nice.

Had a lovely lunch in the Pub garden. Good Covid precautions and very few people on a Tuesday lunch time. Good beer and food. Good walks in the area through rolling countryside and woodlands.

Great first visit to The Red Lion. Excellent service and delicious food (we had the fish and chips and a burger) in a relaxing environment. Really impressed by the covid-19 measures in place, including easy ordering via a website.

A hidden gem! Even though it is classed as a casual dining pub, the quality of the food was impressive and the interior reminds of a high-end diner in London. Service was great and staff members were very helpful when it came to deciding what to eat. While we were waiting for our food we had the opportunity to have a walk around the restaurant which has a gallery of pictures depicting the village and the local landscapes. The duck leg ordered for a starter had a very good combination of flavors and herbs. The wine that was recommended to complement the steak was spot-on as well. After dinner we moved into the bar area where we could enjoy a live performance for some Friday night dancing and singing. Definitely would recommend visiting!
