This pub looks lovely from the outside and so we expected a really good menu. We were disappointed as it consisted of burgers, hot dogs and very run of the mill food. We both chose the scampi and chips with peas. It was okay but...the peas weren’t garden peas and very bland. The service from the waitress was quite good but we had to wait ages for the food. We decided to try a dessert and ordered apple crumble and sticky toffee pudding but after waiting 30 minutes thought we would just give up and leave. We paid at the bar just as the waitress arrived from the kitchen with our desserts but we were so fed up and annoyed, we didn’t bother. The pub wasn’t particularly busy and the menu was easy cooking so couldn’t understand such long waits. Would never return.More

Came for a family meal during our recent holiday, there's a decent range of options available, I personally ordered the rump steak cooked rare. The steak was a good colour and very tasty, definitely not overdone, and the chips were good. For where we were...staying this was a convenient location and all the food we ordered was very enjoyable, recommended if you're in the area.More

Visited this charming establishment following a trip to Durdle Door and was instantly captivated by the warm ambiance and hospitable staff. The pub itself exudes a delightful coziness that makes you feel right at home. As for the cuisine, the portions were so generous that...I found no need to eat for the remainder of the day. Though I’m not a local, I would unquestionably return to this remarkable venue if I find myself in the area again. An unequivocal 10/10.More

One night feels like one week, good friendly staff and Delicious breakfast.. Close to Jurassic coast, the staff are very informative and helpful.

The food here was incredible. Great atmosphere, friendly helpful staff. We will definitely be back.

Great for family dining with toys for kids. Manager was attentive. Burgers were excellent and kids meals were decent value. In-laws arrived a little later and we found there were dog beds available too. Good beer, great food - nice little spot!

I stayed at the campsite and enjoyed a meal in the bar. Friendly staff, super food and a convenient location. It was perfect. Even had the campsite all to myself too which made the whole experience even better! Loved the breakfast muffin in the morning...too. Highly recommend.More

Everyone was sooooo welcoming. We had dinner and breakfast which were all awesome. The pulled pork and pork belly were delicious. Beware of the pulled pork hotdog as it's enormous. We stayed one night in the family room and it was fine but would probably...benefit from a refresh. It is on a main road but we didn't notice any noise and it didn't affect our sleep.More

We booked in advance for an evening meal. Everything was fine, although the server had to be reminded of the order and again when it was delivered and a side was missing. Food was ok. Pub was nice. Parking great!More

We visited after a sunny day at Durdle Door with a lot of people around, so the cool and calm atmosphere of The Red Lion Inn was very welcoming and the food was just as we imaged it ... classic fresh and delightful. Loads of...meat and not too sticky fries. We would recommend a visit.More

VERY good, and stand out pub meal after 21 years of staying in the area. Gorgeous fluffy chips, melt in mouth steak, proper misshapen home made pie, and welcome to match with great beer recommendations to suit our palates. We were delighted to see same...management and menu as when we here a year ago, and the evening went even beyond expectations. Absolutely great.More

We were looking for a dog friendly pub for lunch on a very wet Saturday and saw that this one had good reviews regarding their dog friendliness! The reviews were not wrong 😁 They made sure our three dogs were comfortable by bringing a dog...bed, water and treats. One member of staff, Harriet, went the extra mile to make sure that our new rescue dog was happy and comfortable. Oh and she was great with us humans too! The food was delicious and very plentiful. Highly recommended place.More
