Reviews Red Lion

Lovely riverside pub with a very good selection of interesting beers and a beautiful riverside terrace with some great views. Food looks interesting but expensive. There is parking and also good seating options inside and at the garden as well. The service is friendly and the venue was clean and well organised. You need to cross a busy road to get to the riverside terrace but you can order and the waitress will bring it to you. Well worth a visit.

Always love coming here, the burgers honestly never disappoint and staff always friendly. Really do recommend this place for any occasion. We went for burger Monday and it was a great deal however how can you justify £8 for onion rings…

Lovely setting on the riverside, with fantastic food and service. I would like to point out that the prawns were not deveined, which we would usually prefer, and we decided to send them back. This was understood by the staff, and other than this I really couldn’t fault anything else. There is a boat hire service available that we would love to try in the summer. Prices online seem reasonable, and I’m sure you could stock up with food/ drinks from the pub for onboard. We will be back again.

Title: "Riverside Delight with a Cheesy Twist" - ★★★★☆ (4/5) Our Sunday visit to The Red Lion was quite an adventure! This place has got an absolutely wonderful view of the River Thames. Sitting there, with the Thames stretching out before us, was a joy we could relish for hours on end. Now, the staff were quite attentive for the most part. Sure, they did forget about our bill at the end of the meal, but we reminded them, and they were super grateful. It's one of those little human moments, isn't it? We all forget things from time to time. As for the food - oh, the food was fantastic! We had two excellent beef roasts, a chicken burger that was just spot on, and Moroccan lamb that I can still taste if I close my eyes. It was a delightful spread that left us content and satiated. However, there was a bit of a cheesy confusion. I ordered a 'burrata,' expecting a whole ball of creamy cheese. Instead, I got a plate with a slice of toast topped with tomatoes, prosciutto, and a thin layer of burrata. It was more of a bruschetta situation rather than a true burrata. I mentioned this to the staff, and they insisted that this was their interpretation of a burrata. They even said that burrata and bruschetta could be used interchangeably. Now, that was a bit perplexing, as burrata is a cheese and bruschetta is an appetizer - they're not exactly swap-able. After we got home, I checked their website and the dish was listed as 'prosciutto.' Makes sense, but they could definitely update their menus to avoid such cheesy mix-ups in the future. I mean, £12.70 for a 'burrata' that was more like a bruschetta is a tad steep, don't you think? All in all, we had a really good time at The Red Lion. The view, the food, and the mostly attentive service made it a lovely outing. We're taking away a star for the 'burrata-bruschetta' mix-up, but other than that, everything was perfect. We're definitely coming back, and hopefully, next time will be a flawless five-star affair!

Absolutely wonderful pub. Thank you to Ebony who is a fabulous server. The staff are really professional here and the food is suberb. New chef since last year I think and a big improvement. We had the feta salad, a lamb dish, chicken wings, prawns, aubergine and flat bread. The salad, aubergine and lamb dishes were all absolutely delicious. The river seating location is wonderful. It's just great to see how the Red Lion is attracting new customers whilst also having locals at the bar. Sitying by the river is also really special in the summer.

Absolutely wonderful place to come and relax with friends and have a lovely drink or some delicious food! Staff are absolutely amazing and super polite! I highly recommend this place!

What a great pub for dogs. Bar staff,/ Manager loved my Tiff who was not the best behaved. All the other dogs were so friendly. I'm not local but when I next visit my family I will attend.

Not eaten here yet so can't rate the food, but no reason to think it's not great. Love this place, they have a handy mooring area next to their beer garden to tie up a boat after a trip on the Thames which we frequently make use of. Beer garden is over the road from the main pub so care is required when crossing with an arm full of drinks or shepherding kids. There is a little bar actually in the beer garden which is handy when open. Layout of the pub is really cool with a covered outside courtyard, separate snugs and a bar/restaurant area. Really does cater for all. Can't wait to be back. Small car park attached.
