The Red Lion - Carta

The schnitzel was absolutely delicious- a clever idea that resulted in fantastic food. The pub had a great atmosphere with quirky decor. Definitely recommend a visit, as we will be returning again.

I visited this restaurant with my brother and we were both hungry after a long day. The menu offers s few choices including Snitzel and Steak. We chose the chicken that was nicely cooked and delicious.

Plain fare, nothing exceptional. Rather limited menu. Staff pleasant enough, but service very slow. 12% service charged although not mentioned anywhere on website or menu. Rather overpriced for the experience. Ver carta

Great food but a disgusting service charge of 12% on a bill of over £350 took the polish of the meal No notification of this charge anywhere to be seen Will have to think twice before another visit Be careful Does this charge go to the staff or does it go into the landlords pocket ?

With my partner friend, had a small lunch and 3 bottles of wine, total bill was £130, fine with that, but then they added 12.5% service charge, £70 of the bill was Wine! Often visited the pub in the past, but that's the last time. I'm fed up with service charges, it's legalised theft IMO. No wonder pubs are struggling.

I went to the Red Lion for Sunday lunch. The starters were delicious, but at £9-10 with a 12% service charge, they felt a bit overpriced for pub food. The main course was tasty, but could have been served hotter. The service charge added extra expense and seemed unnecessary. I would visit again and hope that the service charge is removed from the menu and not advertised on the website. Ver carta

Stopped here for lunch yesterday (26th) and decided to try a range of starters. We had Truffle and Parmesan fries, Haddock gougons, Camembert wedges and chicken satay skewers. The food was excellent and the chicken satay skewers are worth another visit alone. The staff were very helpful and the little museum within the pub is wonderful. Well worth a visit if your going to Evenley Wood Gardens.

Our friends had seem this pub while looking for a property in the area. They had mentioned the locals had said the food here is lovely. Sadly to say, the food was very poor. For a Sunday Dinner around £19 per person, you would expect a half decent meal. We believe our food was left on the side heater for over 20mins, when it had came to the table the food was warm and we were left waiting nearly an hour. It way over priced ie a scoop of ice cream £3 and service charge of 12%. We all know lots of things have gone up, this is way over the top. a Toby carvery on a Sunday is couple of pounds cheaper, at least it's hot and you can gauge what you want.

We had Sunday lunch at the Red Lion for over £20 and found it to be very overpriced. We were surprised by the service charge, which seemed like an unnecessary extra cost. The beef was tasty but had a lot of gristle, requiring a steak knife to cut through. The roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings were both soggy, indicating they had been cooked hours before. When we asked for horseradish, it took over 5 minutes for it to be brought to our table. Overall, the quality of the food was disappointing compared to previous visits. If this is now the standard at the Red Lion, we may not return in the future. We did not complain at the time as we prefer to avoid confrontation, but a good restaurant s... Ver carta
