Dissapointing drink, the Guinness quite acidiy and snack on Sunday, cheese baguette using grated cheese which fell out, hardly any onion with too much salad. The oafish behaviour of a couple in the snug all in all made our usually pleasant visit quite unbearable ?

First time we?ve visited this pub. Very attractive from outside with well tended flower tubs. Our server was very pleasant and polite and gave us a choice of tables. Quite a long wait for our food even though it wasn?t particularly busy. My meal was described on the menu to come with dauphinois potatoes, which I assumed would be served in a creamy sauce; but it was just a block of sliced potatoes.no sauce. Quite a small piece of chicken but the accompanying mushrooms were good.. I thought the price , ( over £16 ) a bit on the steep side. Overall not an unpleasant experience but the prices charged were a bit expensive.Parking: Managed to get last remaining parking space

Been here many times and never had a bad meal so we booked a table for 9 for mother's day when booking i asked if it would be a set menu and was told no it would be normal menu but carvery would close at 5pm. On arrival today we sat down to see that it was a reduced menu with minimal options. When I questioned this with waitress she couldn't apologise enough.We went on to order our food with the majority having the carvery which to our surprise was open and the rest of us ordered what we could off the the reduced menu, when we started to eat the carvery it was cold which then put a dampner on everyone's meal.I asked to speak to the owner she came over a said that she could see no problem with carvery as that she had just had one, i got the sense that she wasnt interested and really didnt want to do anything for us, she then went on to tell me to write a review on Facebook in which I replied I would put a complaint rather than a good review, she then suddenly asked what I wanted her to do I replied that's your choice in which she then said she would give us a discount. The amount of excuses that she came out with was ridiculous, at the end of the day all food should be served hot and no excuses made , we most probably will return as hopefully it was just a one off. Big shout out to the waitress MICHELLE she was absolutely lovely and couldn't do enough for us

Went here for lunch after a walk. We had excellent food and excellent service even though it was exceptionally busy. I had fish and chips which were the best I've had for some time. All washed down with Abbott Ale which was equally good. We will return and we can highly recommend.

We were excited to see the return of the sausage and mash. Last winter it was served with spring onion mash (as advertised on menu today) and a bacon and pea veloute. This year it was sausage, plain mash, far too many peas and a boring gravy, no greens. I had the lambs liver it was ok. The advertised bacon wasn't crispy and fatty.

Went for Christmas dinner with my husband and kids. Starters were served to the table, and the main course was carvery. Was told by our waitress to go up for carvery food whenever we were ready, only to be chastised by a random person who we thought was another customer (turns out it was the landlady) when queuing for our food! Apparently it wasn?t our turn, and another table had a large party that all needed to eat at the same time as each other and then let the other table push in front of us. Even though we were told to go whenever we wanted! And apparently we were meant to be eating sorbet before getting our carvery! Don?t even like sorbet! Food was mediocre and hugely overpriced. After being told off, suddenly didn?t feel hungry anymore and the whole thing spoilt our Christmas dinner (it?s ok though - it happens once a year, so only another 366 days till next Christmas). Won?t be going back again, ever.

I have been here before for the festive menu and always had mixed thoughts about it , however today it was excellent the meal was piping hot , very tasty and great value for money . The only negative was it was cold in there . The waitress was so helpful and professional . Thank you so much for a lovely time today and will look forward to my next visit in the new year . Merry Christmas to you all .

Went tonight first time for quite a while but was disappointed with the food quality. The lamb pie was minced up lamb very grainy used to have it before and it was lovely tender pieces of lamb. My wife had the lamb shank which was quite chewy. Did give feedback to the server but got nothing back. Won?t be going again Red Lion down the road much better.
