We have been here several times as a part of a group each time we have had good service and reasonably priced food It is a pretty location and in good weather it is nice to sit outside I would recommend it

I didn't complain about the ploughmans, when I asked what does the ham ploughmans come with and the reply was ham I should have guessed this is not the place to come for food! I’ve had a few ploughmans in the past, usually local ham...beautifully cut, with crumbly mature cheddar and homemade chutney, with wonderful fresh bread. This was literally a piece of plastic looking tasteless cheese (dunno what it was) with bit of dry lettuce, couple of soft grapes, with chewy bread and a bit of branston pickle for the bargain price of £9. Joke!!!! Then I found a hair on one of the scallops, to be told 'that didnt come from my kitchen' in a shouting manner from the so called chef! And then told 'What more do you want you're getting your money back for that'. Yeah mate but I'm not getting my money back for 2 cheese bits and bread (2 x ploughmans £18) and I'm not being compensated for your atrocious customer service and disgusting experience at your BAD PUB!!More

First time visit, and on a gloriously warm day it was a treat to be there. A lovely cosy pub with a nice garden with water feature and interesting old machinery dotted around. We had the dressed crab salad and thoroughly enjoyed them. Salad was...well presented nick radishes and olive too. The crab was delicious washed down with a nice pint of cider. Would recommend and will be back again....More

We passed thru and enjoyed an evening meal this week. The whitebait deep fried in breadcrumbs were delicious and we both had the homemade beef burgers which were very tasty. The citra ale was quite superb. The staff were helpful and informative. It's a quirky...setting with some humorous touches and the surreal presence of a gently flowing river through the middle of the pub garden. Overall a pleasant couple of hours and well worth a visit if anyone's in the area.More

The Red Lion is one of 2 pubs in the picturesque village of Little Missenden. ( Villagers are lucky to have 2 pubs in a small village ). Some people may recognise the Red Lion from its appearances in the " Midsomer Murder " series..., albeit under a different name. I like everything about the pub : it retains its old fashioned interior - has not been trendified. There is a large garden out back. A hard surfaced area is divided from a grass area by the river /pond which runs through & is connected by a bridge. Lots of tables , generally well spaced. Also seating to the side & front. Friendly service. Having read previous reviews I note that many people were not happy with the food. I thought the menu was limited & rather reminiscent of pub food 30 -40 years ago. Nothing for vegans. However, as one who has often moaned about the increasing dominance of food in pubs , I don't mind that much. There is enough for anyone who is hungry & I reckon the general ambience outweighs any perceived shortcomings in the food department. The water area is home to assorted ducks & some decent sized trout. Would have liked a wider choice of ales. Reasonable amount of street parking. If you like a traditional English Village pub , I recommend a visitMore

Visited for lunch with family. Had a delicious pie and a few ales. Kids entertained by the wildlife and playground opposite. Great memorabilia and acknowledgement of its history. We need to support these types of establishments

we were travelling by amersham and saw traditional pizza sign , we decided to stop over for dinner as were quite hungry, we ordered chicken pizza and the garden club , the pizza was quite delicious with pesto , capers and pine nuts , the...garden club pizza was so tasty as well with quality ingredients, the decor of the pub has the 16th century fire place , and the waitress who served us was quite pleasant ,More

Had an extremely pleasant lunch here at this very friendly Pub. A varied menu to suit all and a vast selection of excellent beers. This pub takes COVID-19 very seriously. All staff wear masks and no guests allowed to stand and drink. Tables well spaced...and spotless. Nice log fire burning away to keep you warm. Highly recommend this place. (PS Roast Lamb was amazing)More

Must be honest, just happened to come across this little beauty of a pub after a long day walking in the countryside. What a little gem. Really traditional and quaint pub with beautiful gardens and scenery. Straight away as you walk in all the staff...were wearing masks and table service was the only option 'as it should be'. Service was great. We were warmly greeted and offered drinks and a nice menu with plenty of choice and a kids option too.. Food was delicious and lovely large portion sizes. Just what was needed after a long day. Real mix of customers, some local and some I assume passing by, but created a really nice atmosphere. Would highly recommend to anyone and will definitely make sure we pass by this more regularly..More

this pub is the worst pub I have ever been to you can't sit inside because of covid so outside is the only option it wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't chickens and ducks everywhere plus I saw the what I can only assume...is the owners dog walking in and out of the kitchen I couldn't believe it the food was vile and expensive and the inside was grubby and disgusting it looks like it's not been cleaned in 30 years I would avoid this awful pub at all costs the staff was very rude and unpleasant it should be closed downMore

Fabulous meal at the Red Lion tonight, i booked for wedding anniversary meal, when we arrived candles were lit on our table, such a nice touch, my husband had the lamb and said it was fabulous i had steak cooked to perfection we followed dinner...with bread and butter pudding and choc fudge cake which were both to die for. Service was excellent 10 out of 10 Will definitely be coming back.More

I am absolutely god smacked by this evenings experience and am disappointed at myself for not getting up and leaving but In the good old British way not wanting to create a scene I tried to enjoy what was a disgusting experience I came with...husband 2 friends and there baby I haven't seen them In months and wanted to have a nice evening. After ordering I was told that 2 of the things we had chosen where not on the menu this was my first shock as there are about 5 items on each starter main and dessert so to have run out made my alarm bells ring. Starters arrived the whitebait was burnt to a crisp and the smoked salmon and prawns were watery. After that we heard wretching and coughing from the kitchen the coughing was so bad and went on for at least 20 seconds I asked the waiter if it was him or the chef and he told me it was him which was a lie then the coughing started again so I asked the other waiter why the chef was coughing like that she explained he had acid reflux the food came out and as you can imagine all of us just looked at eachother like do we even want to eat this reluctantly we eat our food no one wanting to really come out with what we had just witnessed. I am so embarrassed that I took my friends here as it was terrible and we drove from rickmansworth for nice country pub I am paranoid that i have COVID. No excuse for coughing like your dying in a kitchen where the restaurant can hear also after seeing the chef he looked Ill. Anyway my husband has covid test once a week for work so I will know if we are infected next Thursday. Thanks for a disappointing teriible evening out 👍More
