Used to go there a lot but had heard midling reports more recently. Ignore these as the food was excellent and the service great. Recommend

Just been for a quick lunch with my wife and was so impressed with red lion, the barman who served us was superb, he was polite, friendly and above all human. Excellent. The food was first class and prompt, we will definitely be going back, a massive well done to the Red lion, 100% excellent.

Dropped in for a cheeky Friday evening dinner. Greeted by friendly staff and advised on the best ales of week. A truly wonderful meal and made even better by the entertaining customers at the bar.. We will return very soon.

My partner and I have started popping in recently since the new landlord has taken over. Having read the recent comments I wouldnt take any notice of them, I have been local to the area for years and sadly it’s just one of those areas where certain people do not like change. There is always a good atmosphere, beer is good, we tried the steak night last night (Thursday) and we’re really impressed! Locally sourced Aberdeen Angus steak, beautifully cooked, plenty on the plate and very reasonable! £27.95 for 2 steaks (sirloin) and a bottle of vino, extremely good value and no scrimping on quality. Keep up the good work ?

Really lovely pub lunch, quiet Saturday (but day before father's Day!) but the staff suggested eating outside, which was perfect. Staff really welcoming - couldn't fault it at all, food all delish -will be back ??

There were three of us visiting for Sunday lunch. My wife and I live 100 miles out of Burton and wanted to take my Burton based Mum out for Sunday Lunch. The pub website specifically said ‘Gluten Free menu available’, and the ratings were good. When we arrived though the experience for my wife was very poor. There was no GF menu available and, eventually, the (helpful) server got a menu (partially) marked-up by the chef. There were four starters available - none of these were GF, and all included some bread, with no GF bread available either. Mother’s prawn cocktail was superb but our enjoyment was limited with Dani having to just watch. For main courses there were 2 roasts and eight other choices. Two of the non-roasts were GF and the roast dinner options were advised as ‘GF available’ (which just meant taking off the Yorkshire pudding and stuffing of course). Dani went for Roast Turkey, and we had two Roast Beef dinners too - these were all very good, with plenty of veg, but Dani’s enjoyment was again limited when she saw how good our (huge) Yorkshire pudding was. It was also surprising that extra gravy (which was GF) was charged for. Eight desserts and only two were GF, and one of these was ice cream. Overall the food was good and I would recommend provided you don’t have a coeliac (like Dani) or other GF in your party, as there’s very, very little GF awareness (although they did suggest they were going to ‘sort this out’ as we left).

Lovely cosy and friendly pub. Staff are very welcoming. Lovely beer garden at the back. Plenty of car parking. I really enjoyed the food, fresh, tasty, and filling. Also locally sourced.

Spot on Sunday Lunch! Good choice of roasts with a lovely selection of fresh vegetables. Excellent satisfying portions, maybe next time we’ll have room for a desert. Friendly attentive service. We will be back.
