I don`t like to give poor reviews, but I cannot agree with the recent glowing reports on this forum. We arrived at 6.45pm to a totally empty car-park for our pre-booked dinner. We considered leaving but decided to stay, I checked with the barman that food was being served, it was, so we ordered some drinks and food. We were given a very standard pub menu, our selection of Mushrooms in Garlic, Whitebait followed by Fish Pie and Scampi and Chips. The starters were ok but the fish pie was very dry and appeared to be over cooked, the scampi was good. Two other customers came in who managed to get the undivided attention of both the barman and the chef for a length of time. Our meal took two hours for just two courses and with only two other customers present. We will not be returning.

Crikey! Talk about in the middle of nowhere, that is certainly where The Red Lion is. In the Village of Kirtling. However, it was well worth the journey. Great warm welcome as we entered and were shown to our table. Booking will be essential as it is not the biggest of restaurants. We had a choice of meats for the lunch, we opted for the three meat option. The accompanying vegetables were varied and plentiful. The whole meal was a wonderful experience. We have been disappointed recently with some of the Sunday Lunch establishments, this was a resounding success. Well done The Red Lion and all the wonderful staff.

A group of 12 of us booked a 'Pie Pint ' evening at The Red Lion. I 've been to this pub with family and friends before and it just keeps getting better. Fantastic hospitality from John Suzanne who made us all feel so welcome. Food was excellent, with a fabulous and varied menu. The waiter who served us all was very attentive and professional too! I 'd highly recommend this pub for it 's great choice of food and ales. My favourites: Butterfly King Prawns; Steak Ale Pie and the Sticky Toffee Pudding the best in the area by far!

We called in for lunch as a group, after walking, so we were hungry and we were not disappointed. There were lots of different choices and each one was declared delicious. The portions were big and prices very reasonable. We definitely recommend coming here and we will certainly return.
