Red Lion - Arun

The Red Lion is a pub in the High Street, in the centre of Arundel. It is quite large and has a bar which plays background music and has a restaurant area. There is a good selection of beers, other drinks and a good food selection too. Daily food specials are available. There was a very relaxed environment at the Sunday lunch time that we visited. Many meal tables were booked, so I suggest booking. Friendly and helpful staff work at the Red Lion. The bar, restaurant and toilets are clean and live entertainment takes place in the bar area on some nights.

I was there 2 times. Ate only once because the food was very average. I had the Arundel butchers sausage expecting something nice but I have to be honest. Sausages were tasteless, gravy tasteless, mashed potatoes tasteless, onion rings tasteless. Seemed like when I had Covid but I don’t. I ate it all because I was hungry but that’s about it. Now honestly, one thing that has got to change that I noticed on both occasions : someone needs to come and clean up the men’s toilet once in a while. Sorry to say. Every time someone opens that door, the smell of old urine emanating from there in the restaurant is absolutely unbearable ! Not nice when you’re eating ! Really liked the deco, the atmosphere, the live music, the beer choice. Therefore 3 stars because I’m being nice.

Popped in for a cheeky pint and lunch. Camembert starter to share. Gourmet burger and bangers and mash mains. Lovely food, beer, atmosphere and staff. Super helpful and friendly. We’ll be back.

Had dinner at the Red Lion last night. I had the sausages and mash and my wife the fish and chips with a side of vegetables. The food was fantastic. What made the visit so pleasurable was the friendliness of the staff. We were made to feel right at home and nothing was too much trouble. Thanks to you all.

We have been going to the red lion for lunch for quite a few months now and have to say that on a Friday we get brilliant service, great menu choices and we are never disappointed. Today was extraordinary with the slow roast beef short ribs that just fell apart and were so tasty
