The Red Lion - South Northamptonshire

Great food but a disgusting service charge of 12% on a bill of over £350 took the polish of the meal No notification of this charge anywhere to be seen Will have to think twice before another visit Be careful Does this charge go to the staff or does it go into the landlords pocket ?

Stopped here for lunch yesterday (26th) and decided to try a range of starters. We had Truffle and Parmesan fries, Haddock gougons, Camembert wedges and chicken satay skewers. The food was excellent and the chicken satay skewers are worth another visit alone. The staff were very helpful and the little museum within the pub is wonderful. Well worth a visit if your going to Evenley Wood Gardens.

Plain fare, nothing exceptional. Rather limited menu. Staff pleasant enough, but service very slow. 12% service charged although not mentioned anywhere on website or menu. Rather overpriced for the experience.

With my partner friend, had a small lunch and 3 bottles of wine, total bill was £130, fine with that, but then they added 12.5% service charge, £70 of the bill was Wine! Often visited the pub in the past, but that's the last time. I'm fed up with service charges, it's legalised theft IMO. No wonder pubs are struggling.

I visited this restaurant with my brother and we were both hungry after a long day. The menu offers s few choices including Snitzel and Steak. We chose the chicken that was nicely cooked and delicious.
