The Red Lion Brinkley

Excellent food and personalised service. Brinkley should be proud of having such an extraordinary pub. Highly recommended.

Food was excellent, prompt service. Even offered an alternative choice from the menu for someone who had special dietary requirements.

Our visit to the Red Lion was a thoroughly enjoyable one. The food was excellent, the service pleasant, unobtrusive and efficient and the dining room comfortable with a slight colonial feel. Ver carta

This was a Christmas lunch, organised by my daughter who lives in Brinkley. The ambience, food and service were all excellent and I have no hesitation in saying that this is one of the best pubs I have visited.

On different occasions had Brunch, Breakfast and Supper food always delicious and highest quality ingredients locally sourced. Gwen and Morris bring their international experience in making a visit both, welcoming, interesting and enjoyable

It was a very calm Tuesday evening so the four of us had the place to ourselves. I have to say the food service and ambience of the place was a pleasure to behold. Freshly cooked and prepared food served with great skill and love was just what was required. Ver carta

Our first visit under the new team and the red lion has been transformed.The decor is clean, bright and rustic and would be lovely on a winter evening Food was tasty and generous portions. The chefs know their ingredients and it deliver great flavours.They have achieved that hard to find balance of quality and price

This was the strangest of pubs that either of us could ever recall visiting. It was very cold in its welcome and looked like the place had suffered a robbery as there were no things around the place it was BARE and, therefore uninviting. However we did stay despite this (and the fact that we considered the range of beers to be poor) and we are glad we did since the then enjoyed the best fish pie that we have had for many a year

Visited this pub for lunch on Christmas Eve because it happened to be on the route home from relatives, and were really glad we did. It 's everything a country pub should be cosy and welcoming, with a good choice of beer and wine, and great food. The menu has plenty of choice without being offputtingly long, and the food is better and more interesting than standard 'pub grub ' but not the sort of poncey would be restaurant style a lot of pubs go in for. Everything was freshly cooked and delicious with generous portions and great value. Brinkley is lucky to have such a nice local we would definitely visit again when next in the area Ver carta
