"I had a wonderful family lunch at this charming pub, situated in a beautiful location. The Sunday roast was delightful, and the lamb breast was particularly enjoyable. The service was excellent as well. Thank you!"

On a grey drizzly day we came in to find a cheery warm fire and pleasant service. Clearly a favorite of the locals, we would be sure to stop in when we are in the area again

This is a charming old pub with low ceilings, good beers, tasty food and a bar billiards table which the landlord was more than happy to show us how to play. We had a brilliant evening. Thank you!

Stayed here as a stopover for a night while cycling the King Alfred’s Way lovely pub, really nice food and rooms were exceptional. A good place to stop if you’re doing the route as there is secure bike storage.

"AVOID AT ALL COSTS. RUDE STAFF AND TERRIBLE FOOD!! The reviews are lies. I went into the red lion as I had seen so many amazing reviews about how fantastic the food and service was. I am under the influence that those reviews could only have been written by the owners friends and family as this was absolutely not the case last night. My friend and I arrived at 6:45pm, we ordered our food and drinks at the same time at 7:15pm this was the first time the waitress had come over to us so we took the opportunity to order everything then. Our food did not arrive at our table until 8:05pm. But we were the lucky ones, as there were two other tables with families on who had been there before we had even arrived and they were STILL waiting for their food. Unfortunately after the long wait the food was absolutely disgusting! I ordered a burger and chips. My burger was stone cold and burnt (but the plate was hot) which suggests it’s been sat under a hot lamp and my chip were rock solid. My friend had the chicken breast which was also cold, and the vegetables were also rock hard. One of the ladies from one of the two families politely went over to ask the staff where their food was as my friend and I came in before them and why was it that they were still waiting? The staff launched across the bar and started verbally abusing this poor lady shouting “it’s not our fault we only have one chef! What do you want me to do?!? I’ll take it off your bill if you’re that bothered”. The lady walked back to her table and you could see the upset in her face as she just politely asked a question. Absolutely disgusting behaviour from the staff and the food was vile. Would not even feed my dog it."
