    Had the roast beef - absolutely delicious. Beef just fell apart - so tender and very tasty. Would definitely recommend. Rhubarb crumble was great too!

    Great food (well cooked and fresh). The chilli beef starter was awesome. Fab service. Of the 4 restaurants we visited during our stay this was the best.

    Great food and friendly attentive staff. Our first visit to the Red Lion and will definitely come again. Whitebait and crevettes starters. Niçoise salad and belly pork mains. Delicious and shared a dessert of hot cross bun bread and butter pudding and ice cream. Good selection of beers too.
