I have been before and had a good carvery, however this time was not good at all. Service was great but the food was so dry and chewy it was almost inedible. I had the roast beef, which looked fine but was as tough as a proverbial boot. The stuffing was so dry I couldn't even serve it up and even the Yorkshire pudding was like eating a plastic bag. Quite sad as I will not be taking a chance of returning now.

We had a lovely breakfast at the Red Lion - we hadn't booked and there were more if us than we'd anticipated so they did a fabulous job at catering for us all. Michelle was great at letting us know how the system worked and making sure we had all we wanted. The whole party were very happy with the choice and supply of cooked brekkie available. I really enjoyed the waffles and bacon with my all-you-can-eat breakfast. The mushrooms were a great addition too.

Very quiet but it was late afternoon, the roast potatoes are to die for , staff are very welcoming, all in all not a bad 2-3 hours 👍💯

Used to love the carvery at Red Lion. But the last time I went it didn't taste of anything. The mash used to be lovely and buttery, seasoned well. But thus time it tasted of nothing. The gravy had no taste, neither did the stuffing! Will be returning to Toby from now on

I really enjoyed my time at the red lion staff were friendly. We got a carvery which was far better than other top carvery places. Dessert was good although the custard with the cake could’ve been a lot warmer.
