My girlfriend and I decided to stop by for some lunch on our way back home to Hertfordshire , we both had the cheeseburger and I have to say it was one of the nicest I’ve had , proper cheese melted on it , and the pink slaw was lovely , the lady serving us was lovely and the whole vibe of the place was proper English pub , will be returning when we come back to the area for sure . Thanks again

We were part of a coach party going to see the Thursford Spectacular, coming from Southend in Essex it was an early start, so we were booked into the Red Lion for a full English, which was served hot and quickly, which set us up for the final part of our journey to take in the show. We were also booked into the Red Lion for an evening meal after the show, when we arrived all was ready for us, for the staff to start serving our meal once we were seated, the meal was served hot and tasty. Our whole experience within the Red Lion was 110% first class as staff done a wonderful job, having to see a coach full of people to contend with, nothing was to much trouble to ensure we were all satisfied with our eats and drinks. Once again thanking all the staff for making our day to remember.

Popped in for lunch with our two dogs, fabulous welcome and great atmosphere, ordered bacon & egg sandwich, bowl of chips and chilli burger. Food was amazing freshly cooked, nicely presented and hot, staff were lovely, toilets fresh and clean and lots of interesting things going on via the info tv’s Would definitely return as found this to be the best dog friendly pub in Swaffham and certainly the best food.

We went for an evening meal while we were staying near Swaffham town. My husband had Scampi, I had vegetable lasagne, which seemed completely filled with ? aubergine. Unfortunately I found it tasteless, not what I was expecting.

My partner and I enjoyed a fabulous meal here on Friday evening. The staff were excellent particularly the bar lady/waitress that looked after us. We would highly recommend this pub and prices very sensible. Many thanks Steve & Tracy ?

Average place to stop for a beer. Not much atmosphere. Right in the heart of lovely Swaffham. Seating indoors or outside.
Very poor service, food took ages to come but an apology was given in that they lost the electric in the kitchen. After our meal we waited and waited for our plates to be cleared and an order to be taken for the sweet. In the end I went up and called for service, The waitress was busy talking at the bar. we had no sweet just paid the bill.

I rang about half an hour before we got there. The lady who answered the phone kindly said that there was a table for two. When we got there, we were greeted by the same lady and another waitress who showed us to our table. I ordered the prawn liquinie and my husband the beef burger. Both were delicious although the liquinie wasn’t liquinie but was spaghetti. Both of generous portions.

Very poor serviceAs we were a group of 6 they but us in the bar rather than the resteraunt. Our orders very taken quite quickly but then they, brought out the children's meals a good 20 minutes before everyone's else, so they were eating before the rest of us and it was a good 45m since we got there that the food came out, one at a time. However the food was very nice, but the service after was abysmal and after we had paid it took a while to get a receipt. It seemed like as we weren't in the main restaurant they slightly forgot about us.
