Pubs in Crawley

“Best pub I ever been to. Had a day to waste at gatwick airport went here for fish and chips and a beer. Best decision I madeThe staff are amazing and food is greatNext time I come from Canada to England I’ll be stopping in again”

“Visited on a Friday night. Restaurant was very busy and we hadn't booked but they found us a table no problem. Service was great and all 4 of us really enjoyed the meat.”

“Great pub. Service is always brilliant. Just a lovely place for a pint and fantastic music as well.”

“Lovely food. Really good service from our kind waitress Sue. Nice setting, clean, good menu, calm place to meet with friends”

“Really welcoming place with lovely staff. The roast was really good, served nice and hot and plenty of gravy (normally have to ask for more!). Definitely recommend!”

“Met two friends with the aim of having an unhurried lunch, and ended up spending a very enjoyable three and a half hours lingering over our food....! Landlord Michael and wife Gemma greeted us - both extremely friendly, helpful and keen to please. The Red Lion is a traditioinal English pub rather than a modern gastropub, in a slightly dark environment with dark furnishings, but very clean. Toilets were bright and spotlessly clean. Background music subtle (thankfully) and not at all intrusive. Food was superb. The men had chicken and leek pie and lambshank, served with very nice chips (other potato choices available); the ladies had prawn cocktail jacket potato and brie and bacon baguette, and all of us enjoyed the food immensely. All prepared to order and served piping hot. My wife is very discerning about jacket potatoes, and this was served with an unusual and very tasty salad which she especially enjoyed. She confirmed she would definitely choose that again. Some of our number were slightly more ambivalent about desserts: they were OK but didn't quite excel like the mains. All the food was very btastefully presented. Prices are reasonable, so good value for money overall. Being an early October Wednesday, sadly, there were only few other patrons. Michael and Gemma made us most welcome, so the friendly atmosphere combined with excellent food and service make it a worthy place to eat. They cleartly work hard to please their customers and deserve to thrive and grow. We would certainly go there again, and commend it to others.”

“We had a fabulous meal from start to finish. We were warmly greeted and the food was excellent. We would highly recommend and will be back soon.”

“We decided to bring our annual golf day after-party here. It was excellent. Up to 150 people came along. There were loads of extremely helpful staff keeping us fed and watered. Never had to wait for a drink. And the food was exceptional. An amazing buffet - the the best I've seen in any pub - plus a chilli and rice. And all of this food was provided free of charge by the lovely people at the Royal Oak. An exceptional night, we were incredibly well looked after and I will be having other family functions and parties here, they got it just right. The night ended with everyone dancing and singing to the DJ. Brilliant.”

“Super friendly bar lady,Lovely big beer garden set up will for kids, 3 mins from APH gatwick parking which is why we went as early for our flight”

“This had the feel of a members club. very good atmosphere food was good. We were able to talk normally even though there were lots of others in the pub. Good setup”
