The Red Lion - Table reservation

This place is amazing a traditional country pub, but all the staff were genuinely nice, a good selection of real ales, and amazing food. An absolute delight. This was our planned lunch stop on a walk on 27 December, it had taken us 45 minutes longer to get there than we anticipated due to the snow and icy conditions underfoot.

Most unusual as they are normally sloshing around. It had a lovely selection of veg too, not just peas and carrots! A superb pint washed it down and a berry crumble all home made- was delicious. For the nerdy real ale people I'm really sorry but I can't remember the name of the beer! Sorry!

Don't do it! Heard mixed reviews about this place but thought we would head here for lunch and give it a try. We had a lucky escape as luckily children aren't allowed in. Walked round, before being rudely asked to leave, and saw a dog in a cage on a table and general muck. Completely agree with the negative reviews we have seen.
