Another excellent visit to the Red Lion, the food and service was to a very high standard as always. The service was to a high standard and the food was outstanding. The orange bread and butter pudding was to die for. Please put it on your excellent menu more often. .

Good food but would have been even better if alternative options had been found when ordering a gluten free version, rather than just removing the gluten, so ended up with no Yorkshire pudding, cauliflower cheese or the stuffing.
