Blown away by the hospitality and amazing staff and food

We have such an amazing Christmas meal family meal here. Neither of us families were local to the area so I looked this up online. I called a few times to arrange a table and pre-order and every time whoever picked up the phone was...really happy and helpful. When we got there the waitress couldn’t do enough for us and made the kids really feel welcome. We had a Christmas meal in the bar And crackers on the table which we never expected. Plus the food was Gorgeous. I thought it was quite a limited menu, but actually the food that was placed in front of us was well worth it. Highly recommend anyone either passing through this village looking for food locally.More

Great place!

We visited here after reading reviews here on Trip Advisor. We were staying in Overton so we went here the first night of our visit. Service was very quick and the atmosphere was fun. Dave, the owner came and talked with us for a while...and seemed to go out of his way for everyone. I had the fish and chips and it really hit the spot. Very nicely done! If ever in the area again, I would make it a point to go again.More

Above and Beyond!

Dave is the standard by which all other landlords should be judged! Despite this being the first time we'd ever stopped at his pub, he went out of his way to provide us with something to eat despite the kitchen, understandably, being closed because it...was 4pm. He was friendly, hospitable and an absolute gentleman. Would highly recommend. 11/10 !!!More

Very average

Bunch of us in for a roast dinner. Warm welcome. Waited an age for the dinners to arrive - meat and veg good; spuds tough and overdone. Female rest room could do with a good and thorough clean. Don’t think I’ll be returning.

Brilliant Pub

Went to see a comedian last night with a friend at the Red Lion. The acts were great and we had a right laugh. At £8 a ticket it was a bargain!!! Whilst we were there we both had a burger. The food was great...and a nice size portion. The service was also really good. Overall couldn’t fault it. Well done to everyone on the team. Fab night out 👌 Great food. David and Victoria are excellent host's. At long last we have got our village pub back · Great value · Perfect for parties · Local hangout · Fun atmosphere · Friendly bartenders · Stylish interiorMore

Sunday lunch

The Sunday lunch was delicious, we enjoyed the roast beef, turkey and Yorkshire puddings, with plenty of vegetables. The apple crumble and custard pudding was also lovely. A very friendly and warm welcome with great service. Thank you and we will be back

Tried 5 meals between four of us. All were inedible.

Warm welcome from staff and customers and able to choose our table. Friendly and polite staff so we ordered drinks. Two of us were driving so looking for low to medium strength beer. All appeared to be in the 4.6 to 4.9 ABV range. My...wife asked for mineral water, only tap was available. We ordered Sunday lunch. Impossible to cut my wife's pork which was replaced by overcooked chicken; tough and inedible. Cauliflower cheese as an addition to the other meals appeared to lack cheese. Roast beef (the cut just below sirloin) , very generous portion but impossible to cut with a standard knife. Roast potatoes soggy, Yorkshire pud likewise, vegetables undercooked. Showed the boss the four uneaten dishes and he claimed not to understand our criticisms but immediately and very correctly deducted the cost of the food and charged us only for the drinks. There was no argument and we were treated kindly and wished well on leaving. Nice people, good service but awful food.More

A friendly village pub.

As someone who was born in Overton 52 years ago it was good to return to the village again having moved out of the area some 22 years ago. Meeting at The Red Lion to celebrate a friends birthday I found the pub to be...cozy and friendly. We had some food, (the Bacon and Stilton Burger and Fish & Chips), and we both enjoyed it and it was reasonably priced at £21 in total for the two meals. The chips were just perfect, fluffy and crispy. The landlady, Caroline, was super friendly and accommodating. Really enjoyed my evening at The Red Lion and it was a very nice trip down memory lane for me.More
