"There were three of us visiting for Sunday lunch. My wife and I live 100 miles out of Burton and wanted to take my Burton based Mum out for Sunday Lunch. The pub website specifically said ‘Gluten Free menu available’, and the ratings were good. When we arrived though the experience for my wife was very poor. There was no GF menu available and, eventually, the (helpful) server got a menu (partially) marked up by the chef. There were four starters available none of these were GF, and all included some bread, with no GF bread available either. Mother’s prawn cocktail was superb but our enjoyment was limited with Dani having to just watch. For main courses there were 2 roasts and eight other choices. Two of the non roasts were GF and the roast dinner options were advised as ‘GF available’ (which just meant taking off the Yorkshire pudding and stuffing of course). Dani went for Roast Turkey, and we had two Roast Beef dinners too these were all very good, with plenty of veg, but Dani’s enjoyment was again limited when she saw how good our (huge) Yorkshire pudding was. It was also surprising that extra gravy (which was GF) was charged for. Eight desserts and only two were GF, and one of these was ice cream. Overall the food was good and I would recommend provided you don’t have a coeliac (like Dani) or other GF in your party, as there’s very, very little GF awareness (although they did suggest they were going to ‘sort this out’ as we left)."

Spot on Sunday Lunch! Good choice of roasts with a lovely selection of fresh vegetables. Excellent satisfying portions, maybe next time we’ll have room for a desert. Friendly attentive service. We will be back.

Dropped in for a cheeky Friday evening dinner. Greeted by friendly staff and advised on the best ales of week. A truly wonderful meal and made even better by the entertaining customers at the bar.. We will return very soon.

First time visiting here today and given the reviews was a little anxious. However I can’t fault the service or food. We went for Sunday Lunch and everyone agreed that the food was lovely and plenty of it. We will definitely be going back again and I would recommend this to friends. View menu

Just made an impromptu visit to the Red Lion with my husband, we received a worm welcome and prompt service. There was a great choice on the menu and the food we ordered chilli chicken and the dirty cheeseburger were not only delicious but enormous portions, great value , chatty landlord and attentive staff. will definitely be back!

Very poor experience, not the same pub it was, which unfortunately is reflected in reviews it gets, the pub was once one of the best in the area now its a shadow. Very abrupt lady working there really should be back of house. Such a shame as well that the food is no longer a step above a basic pub. Much better options at the **** or Meynell am afraid. They really must lift their game or I fear the worst for this pub.

Terrific meal really enjoyed our food ! I had liver bacon which was beautifully cooked with mash, green veg and some fantastic gravy. My friends had fish chips with mushy peas and scampi chips. They all remarked how well cooked it all was. We succumbed to puds most of us going for crumble custard but one had profiteroles. Soooo good ! All in all a superb meal which we all thoroughly enjoyed! We will be back! Highly recommended! View menu

I did see the review form 11areefe while its natural for him to support the business over the road its just not the case. The attitude of the staff is terrible, its rude and uncomfortable. The food is not what it was, Sundays for example were fantastic under Adam, Andy and Rob but its cheap and simple now not quality cuts of beef just simple silverside. Such a shame as this was such a lovely fantastic pub but this yobbish loud landlord clearly didnt have the resources to keep it running now excuse after excuse we have a make shift rude set up. Lets hope it improves!!!!!!!!

My partner and I have started popping in recently since the new landlord has taken over. Having read the recent comments I wouldnt take any notice of them, I have been local to the area for years and sadly it’s just one of those areas where certain people do not like change. There is always a good atmosphere, beer is good, we tried the steak night last night (Thursday) and we’re really impressed! Locally sourced Aberdeen Angus steak, beautifully cooked, plenty on the plate and very reasonable! £27.95 for 2 steaks (sirloin) and a bottle of vino, extremely good value and no scrimping on quality. Keep up the good work
