Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We organised a family gathering today for my Dad's 80th birthday. We had a party of 13 people. The staff was so friendly, helpful and organised it so we had the conservatory area for ourselves.
The food was superb. Starters, mains and desserts were enjoyed with all empty plates returned.
We left with a great experience and particularly appreciated the staff allowing us to go at our pace and never felt rushed.
The quality of the food, the atmosphere of the venue generates combined with menu cost resulted in superb value for money.
First time visitor today but definitely be a repeat customer for the future.

When I visited The Red Lion back in October I was so impressed I undertook to use it again when I next came up to see the relatives. Well here we are again, on a Sunday this time. I booked a few weeks ago as I (correctly) guessed that it would be a lot busier. On Sundays they offer roast dinners with a variety of meats, plus a couple of vegetarian options. As before, various potion sizes are available; child, OAP, medium and large. Despite the numbers the service was very fast and the food of superb standard. If I was pushed to be really, really picky, I suppose I would say that the stuffing balls were a little hard, but still delicious. Waiting staff were very efficient and attentive, without being obsequious. The place is still spotless. We opted mainly for the medium portions and were more than satisfied. Based on this, I don't think I would attempt the large unless I hadn't eaten since the previous day! The Red Lion will be my first choice when I next come up to Ross, and I would still recommend it without reservation. Cost? Main meals, desserts and drinks for six came to £115, which, given the quality was excellent value. Give it a try!

Looks like a fairly standard pub from the front of the road but it exceeded our expectations. Covid safety measures were excellent, plenty of space inside and out, we are outside and were surrounded by beautiful flowers. The pub is family and dog friendly too. Menu looked like fairly standard pub grub but was fresh, generous portions and great quality. Particular favourites were the curry, monkfish scampi, cauliflower steaks and the puddings are SO worth saving a bit of space for. Landlady was very friendly and helpful, pub and toilets spotless. Family of 6 adults, 6 mains, 4 puddings and 2 rounds of drinks £140. Well worth the price. The pub is signed up for the government scheme in August so if you are lucky to go then you get a big discount too. Would def visit again when in the area

I have always loved the red lion, having a holiday home in the area it is our go to for a nice, chilled pub dinner. Never any hassle and usually always space, it makes for an easy, delicious night. We have been going to the red lion for years, when my grandparents were alive they used to love for us to sit in the conservatory, I believe the red lion has changed hands since but we now love to sit in the comfy inside, close to the fire if possible. Always great food choices, I now don’t eat meat and I can say it’s always a disappointment when I go because I miss the great meat options - especially chicken St David! Great veggie/fish options to cater for all. Huge, generous portions but somehow always manage to make room for a pud. The staff are lovely and the management are always keen to know how the meal has been and if you enjoyed the food. One time however, I was so stuffed I couldn’t eat much of my meal and they offered to charge me less for a smaller meal - I declined because the meal was excellent but it was such a kind offer that you don’t often receive. I love playing the card games on the table and am pleasantly surprised when I get an answer correct. All round a great night and good option for a cosy pub meal, equally nice in summer which a great surrounding view and nice floral garden. Very dog friendly. Couldn’t recommend more!

This was a great find for us, looking for somewhere to eat prior to the New Year festivities getting underway, booked a table for the 2 of us, with our Labrador under it !
The pub has a brilliant atmosphere, friendly locals and staff, just as well I was driving otherwise I’d of been here all night !
Anyway the menus came with a great selection and some specials on the blackboard.
I had the homemade pie of the day with home cooked chips and a selection of vegetables. This meal in itself was absolutely delicious, full of meat and a very tasty gravy. The wife had St. David’s chicken, it looked really nice and she hasn’t stopped saying how good it was !
Price wise, there’s a saying, you get what you pay for and it’s evident only the best ingredients are used so on that front its great value.
We were staying with our caravan down the road and live about 2 hours drive from here but it’s definitely worth it just to sample more food at this lovely pub - we will be back !

Visited today having booked a table. We were greeted and asked to sign in and had our temperature taken digitally. There are 2 doors so they have designated an 'in' and an 'out'. We were shown to our table, it is table service only and our drinks order was taken. Everyone was friendly and welcoming. Food is reasonable priced considering it is all freshly prepared, good quality and locally sourced. Staff practiced a good level of hygiene, cleaning tables and everything on or surrounding them after every sitting. They are serving food everyday except Sunday evening but are open for drinks.

We visited on a scorching hot Monday - to take advantage of the "Eat Out to Help Out' scheme - we had pre booked.
The tables in the garden were almost all taken but we were taken to an inside table - where there was plenty of space to distance ourselves from the other couple in there.
The food took a little while to appear, but was fresh, very tasty and with godly sized portions.
Will visit again if in the area.

We were staying on Ross on Wye for the first time and booked the red lion based on their reviews.
I emailed the day before to book a table outside for Sunday lunch. No problems and a very fast reply.
We arrived on Sunday on time for our table and it was very quite. Obviously the lunch time rush was over. We entered the pub and were greeted by a young lady who pointed us to our table outside.
We then waited and waited to order a drink. Four staff were clearing tables while we were waiting and never acknowledged us once. I had to shout to get their attention. Not good when you are the only customers outside.
They then came and were very apologetic and took our order. The food arrived within 15 minutes and was nicely presented and tasty well worth the price.
Overall we got off to a rocky start but in the end we were happy.
We would go back

Hi Jamie, thank you for your review, sorry about the waiting staff, they are all new bar 1 and have no experience whatsoever but we hope to get them trained up very quickly, for 3 of them it was their first shift! Covid has hit us badly where staff are concerned but we will be back on track soon, kind regards, Kath

I am a total perfectionist in my professional and my personal life. I only take meals at hospitality establishments that meet my criteria in terms of the quality of the food, the quality of the service and effective value for money. It is my professional and personal judgement that The Red Lion at Peterstow, excess my perception and is outstanding value money and an outstanding experience.

We have just returned from our first meal out in many months due to Covid, & as Wales has not yet completely reopened we drove a few miles into England & booked a table in the Red Lion at Peterstow. Covid measures at the front door were reassuring (temperature check/contact details) & first impression upon entering was how spotlessly clean, fresh looking & spacious the restaurant, bar & toilets looked. Front of house staff/waitresses were welcoming, friendly & attentive, especially towards 1 of our party who needed to avoid certain ingredients. All meals were freshly cooked, very good portions but unfortunately we just could not manage to try the delicious sounding desserts being offered (maybe next time). We all had a lovely relaxing evening & agreed that The Red Lion has now been added to our ‘eating out’ restaurant list & will definitely be recommended to friends & family. Thank you to all concerned & our next visit will be to try your Sunday lunch.

Excellent service and and a safe experience at The Red Lion.
The food was amazing, cooked to perfection and worth every penny as both the beer-battered fish and chips as well as the rump lamb were sumptuous and melted in the mouth. The desserts also surpassed expectation.
Friendly staff and a comfortable atmosphere.
If you like good quality food with real flavour - then book and visit the Red Lion.

We booked online as of all the craziness in the world right now it’s recommend that you do, very accommodating, and quick response. We are holidaying in Hereford and been recommend to come to this place, you won’t be disappointed food very good obviously home cooked which is all anyone really wants. Price very reasonable also. This was our first trip to the pub since lockdown and we felt very safe and reassured. Hand sanitiser on every table, also at the door in and out entrance, good social distancing put into place. So all in all had a lovely few hours. Also if you have kids lovely play area and a big beer garden out the back for a sunny day. Thanks Kath and your hard working waitress who also was amazing..

Visit taken on the 'eat out to help out'. The Meals were excellent. I ordered the Sea Bass that was cooked to perfection and presented superbly and the taste was sublime. For desert I had Creme Brulee which was devine! The atmosphere was safe and social. The staff were friendly and accomodating. Well worth visiting in the future.

Have come away from home for the first time in months. Some pubs are shut or struggling to revive after such a long and difficult time. We really felt that the front of house lady at the red lion is clearly putting customers first & showed a great level of care and compassion around the ‘new systems’ needed. Really easy, left details, complied with one way and had temperature checked. Nice to sit in a traditional pub and be served decent pub food - really good value and pleasant surprise. We called first to see if food was available which you may want to do owing to unpredictable footfall whilst pubs recover. :-)
Thank you staff @ red lion :-)

We visited for lunch in half term with our 6 year old son and 94 year old grandmother. All the staff (and especially our waitress) were really friendly and the pub had such a welcoming feel, you could tell it was run by a family who really care about what they're doing. Great selection of food with options to suit us all and everything came out so hot and you could tell it was all freshly made - we had fisherman's pie, fish and chips, Buckinghamshire pie and ham and chips between the four of us. Portions were really good, so unfortunately couldn't fit in a pudding! The pub were generously offering free children's meals during half term, such a lovely thought to support families. Would highly recommend and if we're ever in the area again we will return!
