Red Lion Inn

Don't know how this place stays in business. Completely useless. Don't bother.Since there were some 5* reviews we tried to book here, but those reviews must be by interested parties.I rang to ask if there was a table available to book for two around 5 o'clock. No I haven't got anyone booked at that time". So it goes on

4 meals had sofar cannot fault. Very friendly landlord and landlady. Booked again tomorrow.

Just spent two nights at this pub to celebrate a good friends 70th birthday staying nearby. It's a quintessentially English pub in a small village. The owner and his wife were perfectly friendly and welcoming as opposed to the opinions of some reviews on here. People so often deflect their own social inadequacies onto others which is sad but very common human failing. The food we had was superb and we were made very welcome. The room we stayed in was clean warm comfortable and well equipped too. I would recommend this place to anyone apart from the socially inept and those thinking they should be treated in a special way to assuage their inflated egos.

The Red Lion is an old English pub with the advantage of serving excellent food. Christmas started on the evening of the 23rd with a lovely family gathering for a meal. All the food was delicious and thoroughly enjoyed and also the beers. Hospitality was welcoming and cheerful.

Easily the best pub in the area. We didn't stay in the inn. The food is great and the prices are reasonable. Friendly and welcoming, would recommend

We were in the area for a week and we ate out every evening and this was the most average of the places we visited. Hummus starter very disappointing. Lasagne was a small portion, tasted ok. Fish and chips ok but not great. Burger tasted ok but not very soft. Nothing was bad .. but nothing very good either. From the reviews I was expecting better.

Incredible pub in the lovely village of Hognaston. We were a big group of 8 which we had pre booked for our Saturday evening meal and the food did not disappoint. We had 3 fantastic courses and the service was brilliant. We would visit again :)

The food was excellent could not fault it and the beer just as good, on my list to go again, check the opening times

Nice, friendly pub with excellent home cooked food made from locally sourced ingredients (the figs for the sticky pudding came from next door!). Good beer, and they make their own cider. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. A good pub for walkers - great area for countryside.

The finest country pub I've visited! Fantastic open fire, low wood beamed ceiling, friendly service and amazing food! First rate on all counts
