ザ レッド ライオン(The Red Lion)

A wholesome pub. This is a no frills pub with traditional food. Such generous portions and a cracking choice of puddings. Nothing fancy but I have not had a bad meal here. Possibly a dated dining room, but that makes me love it more. I recommend the fish and chips.

Booked here for an evening meal. I had the pie which was very nice and the wife ordered steak (rare) the steak came out over done so she asked nicely if it could be rare. The second steak came out was okay. All the bar staff were very polite and the pub it self is very nice. But it went wrong when we heard the chef moaning behind the bar about us and the barmaid telling him to be quiet. Which he said he didn't care. I don't normally write average reviews but when this happened it kind of annoyed me. So we won't be visiting again.

A very pleasant stay, staff were very friendly & the food was excellent. lovely bar area & nice quiet rooms of good size. Overall a good experience, just 2 little *******. The restaurant could have a black pepper mill as a choice, & the room TV's could be slightly larger. My compliments though.

Tradition English Pub, Good selection of Drinks and Food. The rooms are not new, as you would expect in a building of this age, but comfortable and clean. Staff and Landlord very friendly and helpful, the breakfast was excellent and plentiful. The Bar / Lounge is traditional English countryside decor, spacious and comfortable. This is a yearly trip for me, so I will definitely be staying here next year.

Went for a lunch with a party of 8 which includes my one and two year old foster children, we was hardly greeted on entry and arrived with 2 tierd and hungry children after the revesby show, we hadn’t even got our drinks ordered yet and to calm my 2 tierd children I used up an opened fruit shoot about 50ml each into their bottles only for the bar lady to come over and rudely express that “in future don’t give children your drinks they have to be purchased on the premises” my foster children would have had a drink, and a sweet and we would have had a couple more rounds of drinks if I wasn’t so belittled to the point everyone else could hear and turn round and I was made to feel like crap, I only wanted to calm my foster children as this was their first meal outing and scared, shame they had to watch me with tears down my face as I ate my dinner and fed them. I couldn’t even finish eating my dinner because I was made to feel so unwelcomed only to try and tell the staff why I was upset for them to just take our plates and walk off while we was mentioning it and pull faces. The best service came from what could possibly be the chef or server as a gentleman in checkered trousers was the only one to greet me, point me in the correct direction of changing facilities on our arrival and also acknowledged my foster children and say hello to them when he was tidying up the carvery area. The bar lady came over and belittled me to only go back behind the bar and stand their for the whole time of our visit and only came out to collect her meal from the carvery not even acknowledging us or the fact I was upset. We adhered to everything they asked for like a deposit and told them how many adults and children was coming excuse they mentioned on the phone people never mention the children and just roll up with them causing problems but we still had to collect our own high chairs and sort the seating out with our hands full. Nobody even asked if our meal was ok during the duration but was very on the mark to ask if we wanted the bill. Wish we looked at all the other reviews first as there’s more than what we expected mentioning the same concerns in regards to the bar staff lady and it being so unwelcoming, made me feel like me and my foster Childrens faces didn’t fit to what clientele she wanted. So thankyou for ruining my lovely day and making me come home feeling like I’m useless and in answer to your response there will not be a future so don’t worry yourself over 3/4 of a fruit shoot.

Customer service was amazing. The owners were advised at time of booking that I am gluten and lactose intolerant, and they went out of their way to ensure that my dietary needs were accommodated for the entire stay - Kerry went did a trip to the shops, which she reviewed with me, to ensure I had an amazing selection of options at breakfast, I was overwhelmed. We had dinner on the evening, food was excellent, portion sizes generous and very tasty.

Stayed here one night to visit Lincs Aviation Heritage Centre, which is really close by Great friendly pub. food was great wth generous portions (Steak & Ale pie highly recommended!) Breakfast was great with local produce. Very friendly service and good mid week atmosphere Room was very good size with nice seating area as well as large bed and desk great location

I spent 3 happy nights at the Lion in Sept 22. Good food, good ale (and wine), a comfortable bed and a lovely hot shower. Staff were really on it - friendly, polite and attentive without being overbearing. The pub is ideally situated with the beautiful Lincolnshire Wolds to the north and the mysterious Fens stretching as far as the eye can see to the south. The historic town of Boston is just a 20 minute drive away. Well worth considering if you are looking for accomodation in the area.

Staff were very helpful and attentive. Good range of beer. I enjoyed the food. But there was too much quantity. So I had to leave some, which feels wasteful.
