We travelled some thirty miles on the strength of reviews we had read. The landlord gave us a warm welcome and we installed ourselves in a nook of the pub that had three tables and a wood burner. There were other tables along towards the bar; the public bar had more tables and a pool table. The food is served from 18:00hrs and we were quick off the mark to place our order as we had waited some weeks before we were able to make the visit. We each ordered a starter, a kebab and a samosa. Both were amazing the samosa was absolutely the best I have ever tasted. I had to restrain myself from ordering half a dozen to take home! Then onto the main event of the pork curry served with rice and naan. I enjoyed the curry, but the rice elevated the meal, this is not the stuff that you are served in your local takeaway!

   Read moreWe stayed nearby the Red Lion in an AirBnB. During which there was a village outage of power for 24 hours. The landlady + landlord (& the landlady’s mum) were so accommodating of us. They opened the pub especially for us with candles and fairy lights. They made us all a hot meal that was absolutely delicious (despite running off gas / generator). They couldn’t do enough for us. We had no signal and they were prepared for us to make payment at a later day. They were lovely, friendly, polite, warm and welcoming. We enjoyed talking to them. 10/10 5 stars - would 100% come back. Thank...
