The Red Lion — Restaurant in Walsall

Have lived in Walsall all me days and never been to this pub in town. And I've missed out hugely! One of only a handful of original looking buildings left in the town centre and its a credit to the owners for keeping it looking as good as it is. They definitely have the best Christmas decorations / window display in Walsall town. Putting a lot of the " designer " / larger well known shops to shame! A nice warm friendly welcome on arrival, but I do think the music was just slightly high ( probably as I was sat near the speaker ) The pub looked nicely presented and clean and tidy and the amazing Christmas decorations throughout are a must see if your in Walsall over Christmas. The chap behind the counter was Polite, attentive and the food ( I had the Cajun chicken with jacket potato ) was lovely and well seasoned and the portion size spot on. They have an upstairs seating area up a spiral staircase but was closed off today ( I'll have to go back I think ) The toilets are round the back with an outdoor seated are for smokers It's great to see one of Walsall oldest pubs still survive amongst the all the same looking / charmless sort of pubs / eateries we get these days. So if your in town and want a place to eat that has ambience, a warm welcome, full of history and delicious food pop in you won't be...

After walking for miles on a cold day, we went to the Red Lion for a drink and food. Wow, what a hidden gem!

We were welcomed by the friendly staff, into a lovely friendly environment, filled with original features, wooden panelling and red hot radiators.

The food here is fresh, home-cooked and delicious. Two meals for £12 is amazing value for the portion sizes and quality of food. My partner had the double cheese burger which came with chunky golden chips and a fresh, crispy salad. I had the lamb chops, which were served with a mountain of mash a boat of gravy and perfectly cooked peas and carrots (I normally leave the peas in pubs as they are either grey or undercooked). We ordered a side of onion rings as we were worried the portions might be small, but we needn’t have worried!

The menu also had desserts on but we were too full to order any - trust me, we can usually fit a good pudding in!

They also serve hot drinks if you just want a coffee or hot chocolate on a cold day.

This is a real gem of a pub, tucked away in the centre of Walsall. We can not find a fault with it. Please give it a go, you won’t be...

Popped in last night with my mum and best friend. Was my first time ever stepping foot into the pub but I had always wanted to knowing it was/is a gay bar, and being a part of the LGBT community myself was thrilled to finally get the chance to experience it first hand. For how packed the pub was with only two people working the bar, service was exceptional. Always served quickly and accurately even with the loud music. Drag queen DJ was an absolute riot with fantastic song selection and a wicked sense of humor to go with. First thing I decided I would do was work my way down the 'Bombs' list (Jägerbomb, Skittlebomb, Firebomb and Refresherbomb in that order) And you KNOW i had a good time because I left drunk for the first time in nearly 2 years. 1000% will be...
