Red Lion - Menú

Perfect spot for a pint in front of a roaring open fire with plenty of space for 25 of us to sit and warm up after a long walk.

Just how a pub should be. Well kept beers and great food. Friendly landlord. Fair prices. It would be my local if I lived nearby. The lamb burger was fabulous.

This is the second time I’ve eaten here in the last couple of weeks. We travelled to visit the in-laws and had the most amazing roast dinner! Large portions and the brisket was cooked beautifully! The second visit we had scampi and chips, again a very large portion, great value for money! Food was amazing! Staff very friendly, will insist on coming here every time we visit!

Very disappointed, only 2 pubs in the village and there is definitely room for both, if they “upped their game”. Pub was empty even though the rugby was on(other pub was still full). Lamb and chicken curry was hot but sauce tasted like it was out of a packet. We couldn’t eat all our meal and left only after 40mins, on leaving there was only 2 customers in the pub and it was only 8.15!

Three people and a dog were made welcome for Sunday dinner (ie at midday) in this great traditional pub. One had roast lamb, one had roast pork and one a vegan dish. I feel compelled to compliment them on the good sized jug of extra gravy a thing not often seen. The place was brimming with activity: a group of bikers arrived and we overheard an interesting discussion; there were other dogs and plenty of people.

Just had two AMAZING pies at The Red Lion, and this just the latest in a parade of generously portioned and tasty meals. Fish and chips are excellent as are the Sunday Roasts. My husband enjoyed the well kept bitters and I'm especially fond of the rhubarb cider. Andy and Dee offer a convivial atmosphere and always do their best to accommodate guests. If you're coming to Ilmington looking for food, drink and friendliness look no further.

We had a big table booking for Sunday lunch and the table Service was helpful and attentive from not one but two staff for whom no request seemed too much trouble! The food was terrific. If you love a traditional English Roast this is the place .Perfectly cooked Meat and plenty of it ,extra gravy and sauces. We've eaten here several times and rate the place highly but yesterday Mothering Sunday when you might anticipate that the resources and patience of the Staff m8ght be a bit stretched they really excelled themselves

Absolutely fabulous Sunday lunch today, thank you Red Lion Team. Between us we chose roast rib of beef, the brisket and the roast Lamb. Soo much tender delicious meat, huge tasty yorkies, crispy potatoes and lovely FRESH veggies! Really was the best roast we’ve EVER eaten out and we ordered a wonderful cauliflower cheese as an extra. Extremely generous portions as always and top notch home cooking at its absolute best. No mean portion controlled meals that you get elsewhere… Soo generous that we have as yet to have room left to try any of the deserts!! We don’t eat out as a family often, it’s a treat for us and whenever we do we choose to go to the Red Lion as it is consistently GREAT and a...

We arrived traditionally late for our reservation. We'll it's a tradition with us anyway and instead of being peeved the landlord soon rearranged things to make us comfortable in the Bar .I was going to be glad about this as 8t enabled me to eavesdrop on the Bar Leaners who proved conclusively that if Central Casting find themselves short of locals for the Bull at Ambridge they need look no further . In fact the scriptwriting team at The Archers could learn a thing or two about Village Pubs if they spent some time here . More importantly they could get a dose of reality on the dietary front because this pub does Sunday Lunch like its auditioning for Best Sunday Lunch Award 2022. Generous pil...
