"Beautiful setting and lovely hotel. Bar and Restaurant is visually impressive. For Vegetarians, food was average in our opinion. Far too close to being a Vegan menu, little inspiration away from the actual cooked veg. Jerusalem Artichoke was a standout as were the x2 desserts. Other courses need more thought/imagination. Add a foam, pasta dish, egg? Can do so much more. Service also bit of a let down also. Nice head waiter but asking menu list number for wine selected and whether we wanted tea/coffee before we actually finished dessert wasn't in keeping with their aspiration of being a fine dining venue. Lady on service also seemed to take exception when we queried the lack of Goats Curd on main course. Rather than take the plate away to correct/redress, we were bought out the curd on a side dish. Head waiter did acknowledge error and did go out of his way to make amends. That was appreciated. Would return to hotel, but restaurant menu needs revamping"

"Our dinner experience at this restaurant was supposed to be a highlight of our week away during Christmas, but unfortunately, it did not meet our expectations. The main issue was that upon being seated, we were informed that many menu options were no longer available. In my 40 years of dining out, I have never encountered a list of unavailable options as extensive as this. The excuse given for the limited food availability being because it was Christmas was wholly inappropriate. Despite this disappointment, the rest of the evening was satisfactory, with the food and service being decent. Overall, it was a letdown. I would recommend that the management improve their menu planning and food ordering process for the future."

"Considering your post what a shame that your manager chose to shame my girlfriend and I on a recent visit for a meal because we are exempt from wearing masks. On two occasions we told staff we were exempt and had it shouted across the establishment that we need to have a mask on as we waited to be seated. Also then for a member of staff to ask us to wait whilst they ask their manager if we are able to be allowed in. Upon being seated the manager, who I have to add has been great on previous recent visits and always welcoming and friendly, then came over and again asked why we didn 't have masks on and that we needed letters as PROOF and that anyone can claim to be exempt . This was done with zero discretion and in front of other customers. There is no legal obligation to provide proof and that is on the official government website, my girlfriend checked this after the manager walked away. We both felt totally embarrassed to have been asked further in front of other customers and to have to be told we have to provide proof of our exemption. The dealing of the whole situation was disgusting and to be spoken to in such a manner for having an exemption. My girlfriend felt we should have said something after the meal but we chose not to. I fully understand this year is a testing time for everyone and especially the hospitality trade at the moment with curfews also but of all days please show some understanding and awareness that people have good reason to be exempt from wearing a mask and beyond a visible reason. I just hope you are more welcome to future customers regarding the wearing of masks and don 't choose to belittle and shame them in front of other customers. There are several reasons for being exempt of wearing a mask, one being them causing distress and anxiety, with relevance to today and your post, so I hope you can please show more understanding in future."

"Dinner here was supposed to be one of the highlights of a week away over Christmas. Sadly did not live up to the expectation. The main reason being that as soon as we five were seated, we were given a list of menu options of what was no longer available. In 40 years I have never faced a list of missing options in any restaurant, perhaps the odd 1 or 2 options. Disappointment was compounded by the wholly inappropriate excuse that there was insufficient food because it was Christmas!! What remained of the evening was OK, food was OK and the service was good. All in all, it was a let down. Recommend that the management up their game with regards to menu planning and food ordering in the future."

"This was our first visit and both my wife and I agreed our expectations had been exceeded. There was plenty of space around our table so other conversations were not intrusive. The waitresses were very attentive and friendly so we immediately felt at ease. The menu was excellent with many tempting choices. The actual food was really well presented and the flavours were excellent. We both really enjoyed a relaxing evening with great food. We would definitely recommend and we will be booking again."

"the menu has not changed in the last 5 years, except the removal of daily / weekly specials and withdrawal from ‘special night’ (pizza night, streak night). the quality and volume of the feeds has decreased while prices have risen. for a “local pub” they are very touching. the service was prompt (on Tuesday at 19 o'clock, I hope it). However, the personality of a company that felt earlier like the heart of hither green seems to have been lost due to the rotating door or both management and personal. I hope they find their feet and fast. only because they are the next (and see them as monopole) will not last long."

"I begrudge having to write this review, however I am appalled by the service (or lack of) from the red lion. I’ve tried to contact them several times and have been ignored, which is especially frustrating since the manger replied to a review a few days ago. We made a booking of 20+ for my partner’s birthday in June. Although the food was lovely, the service was not. Firstly, we were left waiting a while for the food even though it was preordered. Secondly, each person had to go to the bar to order drinks as staff did not take orders from the table even though it was on one tab. They were clearly understaffed on the night, considering the size of our party. Thirdly, there was an issue with the preorder of desserts and some people did not receive a dessert and were not informed until the rest of the group had theirs. The lady dealing with this was also quite rude and did not offer a resolution. Finally, there was a dispute about the bill and I’ve emailed the manager several times as some items cannot be attributed to anyone in the party but have not received a response. Emails were sent on 28/06, 03/07 and 15/07. It really is a shame as we’ve been here before and enjoyed the food, but it is safe to say that none of the party will be returning and the customer service received is unsatisfactory. Again, I would have been happy to resolve this but feel forced to write a review due to the lack of response."

"Only people in the restaurant. Now we know why. The poor waiter was on his own and looked like he was working the bar as well. Food took forever and was cold. the menu was missing lots of items. This was a celebratory meal with our families for our engagement and they had travelled an hour and half to come for it. Think living room should have warned us and we would have booked elsewhere. Not even an apology or warning until we complained at the end. Just stick to drinks and stop doing food!"

"The atmosphere is fantastic, with a truly unique English-style pub vibe. Unfortunately, the food and table service fell short of expectations. The waiting staff seemed to operate at their own pace, making us feel guilty whenever we requested something like water or wine. It was also hard to identify who the staff were in the restaurant. When we expressed our dissatisfaction with an incomplete meal and inedible food, we were told that no one else had complained that day, with no offer of an apology. As noted in other reviews, several menu items were unavailable during peak hours. The food itself was disappointing; the potatoes were undercooked and the meat was tough. It's such a shame because I really wanted this to be a special occasion. It has the potential to be an exceptional place, but we won't be returning."

"I had an incredible experience at this restaurant! Everything was perfect from beginning to end. The wine selection was great, the staff were friendly and professional, and the atmosphere was lovely. We enjoyed a relaxing afternoon in the restaurant with a glass of wine, followed by a delicious dinner in the evening. We both chose the steak, which was one of the best I've ever had. Our room was comfortable, clean, modern, and cozy. Breakfast was also delicious. I will definitely be returning to this restaurant. I had a fantastic time."

"I visited Poms last Sunday and ordered a simple club sandwich, but when it arrived, it turned into a delightful and hearty meal. There was a generous portion, especially for the price. My mother-in-law had a pastrami and cranberry bagel, which was a fantastic pairing with her surf and turf. My 2-year-old daughter had a side of chips, which were served at a perfect temperature and brought to our table upon request to keep her entertained. After our meal, we ordered hot drinks and then some dessert. The chef kindly asked my daughter which ice cream flavor she preferred and even made her a sundae, which made her so happy. Happy child equals happy mom! The atmosphere was wonderful, family-friendly, and the customer service was excellent. I would highly recommend this place every week!"

"We were in the area for the British Grand Prix. Our accommodation did not provide food so I looked around and liked the look and reviews of The Plough Inn at Marsh Gibbon. After a long day all four of us were in need of refreshment. There is a separate dining area which suited us well after our long day. With a good choice of menu and this being our main pit stop we needed refuelling. We were not disappointed having all chosen comfort food. The chef cooks ham and gammon with coke and the result is delicious. We were well served and looked after, the beer was good too. I would have no hesitation in going back nor in recommending this fine hostelry."

"The worst experience off ordering pizza I've ever had. I ordered 4 pizzas and 3 of the 4 had 90% of their toppings spilled off the in the the box. When I called up to say about this at first I was told I would be goverb new pizza but then later was told that I would get nothing and was told to call customer service which lead to nowhere as it is an automated call that doesn't help. One of the employes who I talked to called Ahmed was extremely rude and started shouting down the phone at me when I was asking him what to do to get some sort of refund or different pizza. They also claimed to that the pizza were fine when it was not the case and they looked like they had merged multiple pizza together to make mine. If your looking for a cheese pizza at least you won't have to worry about having no toppings but your stomach and bowls might be displeased the next day."

"Lovely family-owned restaurant! They offer gluten-free options, including delicious pancakes with generous servings of Nutella. I would definitely dine here again if I had more time in Belfast. Prices are very reasonable."
"I have recently moved to Ongar in Essex and my family came up to visit yesterday. I was searching for a pub that wouldn't mind us bringing our dogs since my sister wanted to bring her dog up with her.. We visited The Leather Bottle for lunch and my family was so impressed with the place. My Mum said it's the nicest pub lunch she has ever had. My sister who works in the food industry couldn't believe how fresh and lovely the food was. It was all delicious. Needless to say my family and I will definitely be coming back here for lunch/dinner again and again."

"Best fish and chips I've ever had. Very fresh tasting. The chips were hot and tasted like they were just cut. Been there twice, had fish twice. Traveling to Dublin again in a week. Want to try some other dish, but I sure would miss the fish. The waiter remembered me from my first visit. He remembered what I ate and drank and where I sat!! Like the cozy atmosphere and great local music. I'll be back."
