"We visited Oxford for my birthday, as neither of us had been before and wanted to explore a new city. We fancied Posh Pub for dinner, and after having read other reviews on Tripadvisor and looked through the menu we decided to visit The Red...Lion huge mistake. We arrived at the pub and saw the lovely interior and thought Yes, great choice. This looks like it 's going to be nice. that 's where the good things ended. We were seated in the restaurant part of the pub, which was about 7 tables off in a dark corner of the pub. We were the only diners in there tucked away from any wait staff, and after them dimming the lights we were essentially dining in the dark. We ordered our food, to which we were told the starter we wanted wasn 't available, neither were either of the mains, so we both chose other things. Keep in mind though, this was early in the evening on a Tuesday not last orders on a Saturday. How were they out? Our backup starter came out, and was ok at best a few pitted olives and some cold toasted bread. I had the deadest burger which came in a stale old bun with some overcooked chips. My companion had the rotisserie chicken which looked like it had come from the hot counter at Tesco and been kept in a sweaty plastic bag all day, with a few chips on the side not a fresh bit of salad or dollop of coleslaw or anything in sight! Really disappointing. We were then waiting for about 20 minutes before someone came over to take our plates ask about desserts etc. She asked how our food was to which we said not great and rather than asking why or even pretending to care, she just said Ok and walked off without clearing our plates. At that point we decided enough is enough and we went and paid at the bar to avoid waiting any longer and left. Overpriced for what we got. Genuinely, I 've had better food and service in a Wetherspoons. Would not recommend do not come."

The worst meal in our 2 week visit in England. I asked for a medium rare hamburger and it was charred, over cooked by any standard and horrible. Go anywhere else.

Unexceptional food. Food was fine and well priced but could be anywhere. QR code ordering. Not special. We waited 15+ minutes before using the QR code. Ordered drinks at bar. First server appeared after 45 minutes. Fine but not worth a detour.

It was my mums first time in the UK so brought her to Oxford for a nice day out, and of course I wanted her to try some proper traditional Sunday roast. So glad we came to Red Lion. The food was delicious and the portions are huge as seen in the picture. I got the chorizo pasta and that was amazing as well. Really good service and food. Would definitely recommend
