The Red Lion — Restaurant in Milton Keynes

Gorgeous Pub, situated in a beautiful setting along the lock but when we walked in .............. It felt like all 4 pairs of eyes was on us. Smiling I think is a no,no. We ordered our drinks and thanked the landlord, we sat outside and met a friendly couple and their dog. My daughter sat with their dog and then walked the lock watching the fish, we finished our drinks and used the toilet before walking along the lock. My daughter and myself went into the toilet first after putting our empty glasses on the bar, the woman behind the bar gave us a very distasteful glance, then my mother went to come into the toilet when the woman behind the bar said loudly " are you just walking through here to use my toilet" said in a very aggressive voice .

100% improvement since re-opening. I visited last night and was delighted with how the place now looks and the great atmosphere. The new landlady, Karen, is very warm and friendly and really makes you feel welcome. For anyone who visited previously and had an unfriendly welcome from the former landlord you certainly won't get that now! They also take cards now. Unbelievable that they didn't before. They also now do food and what I saw looked good. I am looking forward to visiting more and cant wait for the summer. The outside is also much nicer and it will be great to sit outside watching the World go by on the canal. It was a mess before with a tatty outside tent and disgusting outdoor 'furniture'. I actually think the previous landlord did his best to put people off (apart from a chosen few that is). I wish Karen and her team all...
