"Called in here for a couple of drinks as I used to come here many years ago after I had been horse riding next door... the place was Quiet not many in and the bar man was laughing and joking with a couple of regulars sitting at the bar the mile high club was mentioned smutty I waited for a Hello or a Hi but no nothing... my partner ordered a pint and I asked if they did a house double vodka? The reply was No! We're not that sort of a pub?? What on earth does that mean? If you want a double vodka then that's what you order he stated... how rude and obnoxious not to mention expensive £10.20 but let us off with the 20p... in this day and age with most businesses struggling to survive you would think a simple Hello and a welcoming smile would be the least one could offer. We had intended to stay for two drinks but I just couldn't wait to get out of the place... My partner was going to ask for a packet of crisps but thought better of it just incase he was told no! We're not that sort of a pub! I rest my case."

Great service and impromptu live music while having a lovely meal. Not crowded, great value and good wholesome food.

We had a fantastic Burns Night experience. The traditional piping in of the haggis and the diverse Scottish menu were perfect for all tastes. Thank you for a truly wonderful evening.

Terrible hygiene, sticky unclean table, animal hair everywhere and a disgusting smell of cat wee and cigarette smoke. The food was ok at best. Would never recommend this pub again, which is sad to say as we frequented the pub when the last owner was there. The good reviews are most definitely due to the last landlord. AVOID

Staff pleasant‍On approach outside tables were left with containers filled with cigarette buts perhaps from the night before hygiene very poor table had already been booked but on arrival no table ready no cutlery no glasses no body to be seen in the barPlace empty Gordon Ramsey would have turned on his heels and RAN As far as Sunday lunch was concerned the food was disastrous don’t go on previous reviews they refer to previous owners Sorry to have to do this

We had booked a table for four for 2pm here after a visit to NT Lyveden New Bield. Our order was taken very promptly in plenty of time before the kitchen closed at 2.30 as I had been told but we then had to wait nearly an hour for the food to arrive. It was good when it did come but again when we requested the dessert menu, it did not arrive and my husband had to fetch it himself. All in all a decent meal but spoiled by the appalling service. A good job we hadn't seen our friends in a while and had plenty to talk about!

Seeing as my review was removed I will try again! Stay away. I went to the so called “quiz night” and it was awful. You would have found a better atmosphere in a morgue. Hardly any there, no music, vile smell and it was dirty. I use to frequent the pub before lockdown and it was fantastic. It has apparently changed hands since and not for the better. I will definitely not be going back. The smell and filth were enough to put me off my beer let alone dreary feel to the place. Very sad to say that I will not be recommending a once lovely pub

Arrived to find an almost empty pub. The pleasant young lady serving turned out to be the only good feature of the day. Started off with a flat pint of butter which did not bode well. My starter of calamari was so over cooked, sorry deep fried, that it was barely edible. For main course I had gammon which was bland and only just off being raw in places. My partner had the”Meatless Roast” which was basically a plateful of vegetables! Brocolli undercooked, carrot overcooked, mash potato awful and a few roast potatoes. Both of us left half the food on our plates. In summary the worst meal that I have had in a long, long time.

We are still waiting for the owner to provide us with an explanation and apology! We tried to contact them multiple times but have not received a response. We booked a two-night stay at the Vane Arms and were given rooms located behind the pub in the car park. The first night, the fire alarm woke us up at 3am. We were left standing in the rain and darkness for approximately 15 minutes without any guidance or assistance from the staff. The following evening, the fire alarm went off again around 1.15am, causing further disruptions. Despite the inconvenience, we did not receive any communication from the owners regarding the incidents. We found the lack of fire or emergency procedures in the ro...

"a difficult review when the restaurant tried to provide the service that I am sure they wanted. a busy Saturday midday in December, all the tables were tightly packed, there were no ceiling ventilation or were all windows open to provide covid ventilation protection. the menu is large with a lot of choice. we went for a selection of starters to share under the family. most were very small dishes, the flower flowers bites consisted only small floccules. I think that this was too expensive for everyone. for the net I divided half a steak/ale cake and crispy chili bark. the bark in the torte was chewing and blande, the chips rode in a customs of their life, and the muddy peas were simply crushed, cultivated garden. the chili beef on the other side was sensational, fully spiced, steaming hot and loads of it, with rice and crack. the dishes could no longer differ in quality and taste. similar mixed results were reported from the rest of the table. I appreciate that covid has hit local food companies hard and they are still trying to get their pre-pandemic service. there were many guests who were fed and the kitchen struggled to supply consistency; our main dishes were delivered in intervals, so we did not eat together and it took to put the net on the table. as mentioned it was brushed, but a service fee was added to the bill. I think this is a bad service, even if one takes into account the difficulties of the covid. I hope that this feedback will be taken and traded so that we can see an improvement when we visit next."

"[edit] kept me a promise to return to food, and I was not disappointed. We have sung with friends that we haven't seen for over five years, and it was the ideal choice to recover from a beautiful meal. A warm and welcoming welcome from all employees, in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. We ordered drinks from the bar and immediately sat in the dining room. Menus and specialties of the day were provided. Although it was pretty busy, we never felt cramped or that it was too loud as it could be in other settings. The layout of the tables made our group of four feelings, we had private food, also occupied with any other table. We chose Pate (x2), mussels and engraving, followed by Red Lion Burger, Pasta parmigiana, fish and chips and duck. For dessert, Rhabarb crumb cake, sticky toffee pudding. All dishes came sharp with perfect timing. Our servers were always available for drinks, but never float ominous. The food here is excellent. Really. I haven't eaten it well for some time. A great thank you to Phil, John and her staff for having an evening to remember for all the right reasons. What the personal touch must be. You have just expanded the outdoor seating area, and I am happy to come back when it is warmer to enjoy some fine al fresco restaurants. [1. Review] We visited a birthday function here in the beer garden. What a beautiful pub that is. They even had a pizza van that made delicious fresh pizzas. The staff were efficient and extremely helpful and friendly, always on hand, and from the comments I heard from other diners in the pub, everyone had enjoyed their meals. I will definitely return with my family."
