Olde Red Lion — Restaurant in England

The food was great, bar snacks are amazing and good price. However the service was not great, we had to clear our own table and put the glasses and plates on the bar as no one came to collect them. We didn’t get offered any deserts and no one came to check on how the food was. The staff are lovely but the younger members of staff don’t have enough experience and awareness of their surroundings. We felt like we were ignored as we were sat in the bottom bar, there was little to no service all night. We saw the kitchen staff smoking outside which isn’t a problem but they were stood right next to the kitchen door basically blowing the smoke inside the kitchen. One member of our party arrived later than us and he didn’t get offered any food or drink even though the staff saw he had turned up and sat with us. When we booked the table we told the pub this was for a birthday celebration. The pub messaged us 1 hour before our booking to tell us the table was set and ready however this was not the case when we turned up, the table was completely empty. We booked our table for 11 people but only had 9 chairs when we turned up and had to wait 20 minutes for the extra chairs. I feel like the staff could do with extra training when dealing with customers and their surroundings and there should be more staff on busy weekends. This is not the first time we have been to this pub and experienced this sort of service, it’s a shame as the food and pub...

Oh wow. This pub is awesome. We have visited here many times for a drink and bar food, which is absolutely delicious. The chicken burger is to die for. The homemade chips are top level. And if you ask for cheesy chips… it’s REAL cheese. Not that fake stuff. Today we tried the roast dinner. Omg. We’ve tried many, many roasts from various pubs, but this one, was exceptional. I swear to god, try the food in here. The staff are really friendly, Chris, the manager is the perfect host. A true professional, always accommodating. Always smiles. Just lovely. Carpark at the rear. Also there’s a garden, we didn’t know about it either. Located through the bar at the lounge area. And… to make it even better. It’s dog friendly! It’s a win win. Great food. Great people. Fabulous staff. And. It’s dog friendly. No brainer. If you want a roast. You will need to book in advance. They do other theme nights too. Cheese night. Steak night.. Open mic night.. quiz night. … other stuff… But this pub is so worthy of a visit. !!! #Buddyfriendlypubs Plenty of nice dog walks here too. Kislingbury is a pretty village. The people...

If you are traveling north from London that is the place for a small break. I am from the hospitality business and with a great pleasure I want to share my todays experience in the Olde red lion.

Manager is doing a great job - very welcoming, attentive, yet not overwhelming. Food: 1x sausage and mash, 2x fish and chips, 1xroast beef sandwich, soup, passion fruit crème brûlée (seriously tasty), brownie, pint of lovely ale, few soft drinks all together came to the price of 66£ 🤩 👍 Whole place was very tidy and very clean including toilet which not always is spot on like here in olde red lion. I can surely recommend this place to everyone 🤗 is it for a short break, pint or lunch. It is worth every penny to go couple of minutes of the M1👍 Good luck and...
