Red Lion

Called in on spec yesterday for a meal on our way home from a day out. Lovely friendly greeting and told to choose a table that may have a later booking. Each chose a steak from the menu and settled back to enjoy a decent glass of beer - Landlord and Black Sheep. Steaks were cooked ti perfection and delicious. We were back on the road just before the booked customers were due! Will definitely add to our list of possible en route venues 😊

Visited this place recently and I can not fault the food, room or staff. Staff are so friendly and polite always asked us how our day was and if we slept well the night before ,can ask any questions and they always have an answer, they have also given us tips on where to go. The room is big with lots of space to hang clothes and put bags away, bed is really comfortable. room is the right temp and lovely view of the garden where you can sit and have a cup of tea with the sunrise. The location is perfect, yes near busy road however very quiet in the room so you get peace and quiet. Food is reasonably priced for what you get and it's lovely, spot on flavours and very nice environment can enjoy a nice quiet drink and playing cards listening to music in background that's not loud. Plus can not beat a Yorkie tea !!!! Have never felt so relaxed in a place I can not recommend this place enough we will be back very soon

Don’t underestimate this privately run, classic British pub. We loved the cosy fireplace, beer selection, palatable wines and well presented, hearty food, totally justifying previous reviews. The rooms are comfortable, we had a great nights sleep. Our worries about road noise (you are quite adjacent to a main road) were proved wrong. All in all, a great expert and very reasonable pricing. Recommended.

Amazing carvery. A lovely selection of veg and meats. It was delicious and omg the Yorkshire pudding were to die for. It was myself and the little one and we actually finished all our meal which can be more than said for most places we have ever tried. There was a lovely selection of desserts however I couldn’t possibly fit one in, the child however demolished a lemon cheese cake with ice cream that looked lovely. The staff were really helpful and friendly from the moment we walked in even tho it was so busy and they didn’t really have the time to talk never mind be friendly and fuss the the little one. Nothing was too much for them. It’s a beautiful looking pub and very welcoming. Will 100% be back again to try the pizza night that I think is coming on a Wednesday (don’t quote me tho). I think booking is key for this place as it’s so popular and I’m not surprised as to why. Well done to all the staff your a credit to your boss! See you real soon to try the normal menu.

Food was delicious! Gorgeous decor & atmosphere and a very warm welcome. Great location to visit York. Food was all high quality ingredients and good portions. Large parking area for our campervan. We had an unplanned overnight stay - Will did everything possible to accommodate us and sorted an extra bed for our son. Amazing customer service. The bed was so comfortable. Road noise didn’t bother us. Stylish room & en suite. We will return when in the York area again. 5 star food, location and service. Thank you!

The most delicious carvery I’ve ever had! Passed by whilst visiting York as we saw it did a Sunday carvery. Needed somewhere that was dog friendly and they had a large bar area with comfortable seating that suited us perfectly. We were lucky as we hadn’t booked. Was very quiet for a Sunday so was apprehensive about the food. But the carvery was the tastiest I’ve ever had, good selection of meat, good selection of vegetables. One of our party was vegetarian and the kitchen staff were quick to sort her out vegetarian gravy. The staff were perfectly attentive! Very good prices also. Would highly recommend
