Red Lion - Stratford-on-Avon

Popped into the pub, not been in for a good 15 years as moved within Warwickshire. Took an odd turning from stocking up the meat and veg at nearby farm. Glad I did. Landed by default at the pub. Lovely hosts, warm and welcoming. Will definitely return.

We came across this pub looking for a country pub with character and it did not disappoint one bit. We are a family of 4 with young children and were welcomed in so warmly that we felt like we were visiting family. The menu was one of the best we have seen, proper home cooked food like your mum would make, the food was delicious and there was empty plates by all even our fussy youngest boy. A real little gem of a pub that we will be visiting weekly. A must do visit.

Arrived here disappoint at the open garden scheme being cancelled. However The Red Lion was a great consolation. The sun was out on balmy Sunday afternoon as we took in the view across the countryside that stretched out to the horizon. Sheltered from the rays by a perfectly adjusted parasol we happily tucked into the steak and ale pie with gusto. Vegan pie was available. Mien hosts were professional and friendly. We live a hours drive away but I would happily return another Sunday just to enjoy the scenery and company of the hosts. Also to work out why there is a chequered flag flying in the grounds. There is an interesting walk just down the road Burton Dassett Country Park where we are going to stretch our legs after and hopefully walk of lunch.

I highly recommend this village pub with a five-star rating. The food exceeded all expectations, particularly the delicious fish and superb chips. The couple who run the pub are friendly and the toilets are spotless.

I stopped for lunch today with my grandson. The host was very attentive, not just to us, but also to our 7-year-old grandson. The food was delicious, freshly cooked, and reasonably priced. The service was lovely, so we will definitely return!
