The Red Lion East Haddon - Northampton

Had a meal at The Red Lion …Saturday night only two tables being used the whole evening …staff friendly but slow …ordered our main meals …the Caesar Salad £14) a bowl of lettuce and grated cheese …no bacon no garlic croutons no anchovy and no avocado…got a small piece of chicken at an extra £2.50…the bacon arrived after we pointed this out to the waitress but nothing else obviously crotons too difficult for the chef ! Massaman Curry was nice …my husband ordered the pie of the day with chips …he got new potatoes ! Not a problem but not good service There was a man walking around talking to the staff we assumed he was the manager …at no point did he come to apologise or explain why the chef didn’t know how to put together the Caesar Salad on the menu? There were five people eating there on a Saturday night and three of those were us …I guess that should have been a warning ! They took the Caesar Salad off the bill and our daughter received a complementary bottle of water …we only found that out by looking at the bill …no one acknowledged the poor service we received …had the manager been more professional he should have spoken to us directly

We’ve not eaten here for a while and fancied a change. It was a Saturday night and didn’t appear to be busy although there was a group in the private dinning area. The food when it arrived was lovely however it was clear that the team were short staffed as there was a 45min wait for starters from order. Staff did their best however I’d recommend employing more staff especially on busy evenings.

The sea food pasta was mainly pasta and tomato paste. So disappointing. Very little seafood. But the service was great

Just stopped by for a quick drink after football training, but ended up staying for supper. Ceasar Salard was one of the best I've had and the kids portions were very generous. Also service was very professional and polite. Will definitely be back.

Food was OK had fish and chips batter wasn't crispy but tasted OK
