The Red Lion — Restaurant in Fenland District

Well we back for another meal 23rd July. I had my steak and ale pie omg it was delicious and filling. Lord Charles had steak and mushroom pie with mash you could tell it was homemade big chunks of steak with fresh mushrooms and onions. And Ana had a small ham and pineapple pizza she didn't want the chips or salad but she said the pizza was lovely. Never had a bad meal here yet and like always clean and staff are friendly. Seriously it's worth a visit. So went back for another meal on 1st 2025. What can I say yet again it didn't disappoint. Lord Charles had a mega burger and I had a steak and ale pie with mash and veg. Now if your used to instant mash with no lumps and no flavour you won't find this here. It's freshly made mash with butter. If your being very picky this has some lumps of potatoes but not big ones this hads to the flavour.This is how I love it and it was full of flavour. The carrots and peas where fresh and also full of flavour. The pie was great and so was the jug of gravy. Lord Charles had the mega burger it should carry a warning of this is far bigger than you think. It was 3 burgers with bacon,eggs, mushrooms plus much more. The portions of food on his plate where massive 8 onion rings a large pot of coleslaw the salad was all fresh.Just don't go there and look at the menu and prices because you see pie and mash for £16 I think it was but you get far much more than most places and it's definitely all freshly made.

The outside doesn't do it justice. You wouldn't believe how big it is has a lovely beer garden too Be warned you need to be hungry to come here. If you seriously want to enjoy all the food on your plate. Don't eat anything before you come here. Had the full breakfast and omg the plate was full. I don't eat mushrooms or eggs or tomatoes or black pudding so asked if I could have extra sausage and bacon. Well the sausage where 12 inch ones and I had 3 of them loads of bacon 2 lots fried bread. Omg it's good traditional food at a reasonable price. Lord Charles had a steak and chicken combo. The chicken was massive and the steak was a good thick slice and very lean no fat and cooked to perfection. The salad was fresh and not out of a bag. The photos don't do it justice. Only downside is I can't take this pub back to my...

What a disappointment. We have dined here several times with no complaints, however we won't be dining again. Starters were served came out and yes they were fine, but then things took a turn for the worst. One of us had the minted lamb chops, not too sure how you can mess that up. However they were inedible, due to a spice being added to the outside that rendered the food inedible, the meal was sent back. The diner can normally handle spice but this hurt her mouth so much she needed a glass of water. Another diner ordered the prawn tikka masala. The rice was stuck together in clumps that required cutting apart, obviously either overcooked or not washed in boiling water to prevent this. The masala was indeed tasteless and the meal was sent back. Another diner had the ribeye, this was cooked however too fatty in most parts thank goodness for the chips. Out of 4 of us 1 ate and enjoyed their meal. At no point was there an offer of money off, a reduced rate or even a free drink. When spending over £100 this is a very poor response and frankly bad customer service, hence we won't be...

Visited The Red Lion on 22.11.2022 for an evening meal. Table booked for 7 pm for 5 people. Arrived just before 7 pm and received a friendly greeting. Was shown to our table which was reserved. Drinks ordered at the Bar and added to tab for the table. Only one person ordered a starter which was Cheesy Garlic Bread which was presented beautifully and was enjoyed, sorry no photo of this. Of the main courses ordered we enjoyed Hunters Chicken with Chips, Beef and Ale Pie with Chips, Scampi, Chips and Peas, Fresh Salmon and Prawn in a Cream and Parsley Sauce which was from the Gluten Free Menu and served with Vegetables and Chicken Tika Masala, Rice and Naan Bread. No picture of Currry meal, but there are of all the others. Beautiful food, hot, plentiful and cooked to perfection. Our first visit to The Red Lion under new Management, wasn't disappointed and will return. Serving staff attentive and a credit to the pub. Thank you for a most...
