On a stay-cation and have been touring around Northumberland for the last week. Sadly mediocre has been the best way to describe the dining experience on the north coast area. Happened by chance on the Red Lion and so glad I did. The warmest of welcomes, the best of ales and great food. Wholly recommended and one of the best... More

We had fond memories of RL from a previous visit. This time meals were good but vegeterian options were very limited which wasn't the case last time, so that was disapointing. The meal arrived in a timely manner and all was good, a bit of salad and a few more chips would have improved. Atmosphere was good, winter warmer ale... More

we visited this pub while staying in alnmouth this week lovely warm welcome, and nice hot fire the food was exellent came served pipping hot, the staff were so friendly could not be more helpful will be back here again in the warm months well worth a visit.

Visited on a freezing cold night last week & had the 3 course set price menu which was lovely. The bar had a lovely cosy log fire which made you forget it was -2 deegrees outside. We always make The Red Lion part of our visit to the area,

Good variety of wine's, and the warm welcoming fire was a bonus.. Came back the following day after nipping in for a drink the previous night... More

In fact, just about everything a good pub is all about. Plus - real fires to warm you. The beef and ale pie was crammed with goodness, the portions sizeable. My... More

Four of us met for lunch at this pub and enjoyed an excellent welcome and meal. It's not an extensive bar menu but plenty to choose from and there's always a daily special. Real ale available as well which is a great big plus in my book, and more important dogs are allowed in the bar. The welcome, the lovely... More

My wife and I together with a couple of friends enjoyed an evening meal here whilst we were staying in another property in Alnmouth. We dined in the Restaurant area and found the food great and the service excellent. The following day after a lovely circular walk to Lesbury and back we stopped off at the Red Lion for a... More

My family (2 adults and 2 young children) had a lovely meal here on a cold Sunday evening in October. We arrived at 5.30pm and decided to eat in the small restaurant (24 covers?) instead of the bar area only because we needed more space for a highchair. The place was warm and cosy and the staff were all friendly... More
