Red Lion Freehouse - Menu

The atmosphere, location, service, and food were all fantastic. The Malbec we had was incredibly delicious! The sharing steaks looked impressive when they arrived, complete with all the sides. The desserts were a big hit as well!

This place is like a secret haven for me. I come here on my motorcycle to get away from the stress of work. Superb selection of ales on tap, picturesque and secluded location, some of the friendliest staff I've met. Really glad I found this place!

A wonderful birthday celebration on a cold, wet and windy evening. A warm and welcoming freehouse, with the food of a Mayfair restaurant. The staff had personality, a sense of humour and a wonderful West Country accent! I'd recommend anyone staying in the local area, pay a visit to the Red Lion!

Truly exemplary food, what an unexpected find. Went on a quiet Wednesday evening and expected good pub food, but what we had was very much michelin star quality. Service was very good but nicely relaxed. The Amouse Bouche was a Thai soup, with the most incredible flavour. The scallops starter was particularly good, the chateaubriand was perfection, easily some of the finest beef I've had. We were too full for deserts, but the coffee was excellent! Very much recommended, it's not cheap but it is excellent value.

Really wonderful food. I had the warm crab tart to start. I was expecting a round tart base with crab meat on top but it was more like a slice of a large quiche. It tasted absolutely fantastic extremely light and fluffy like a soufflé with a distinct taste of crab and subtle cheese. My girlfriend and I shared the Chateaubriand. It was as decadent as expected. Enormous with a delicious sauce and crisp, fluffy chips. The meat was beautifully pink inside but my only very slight criticism would be that I wished the outside of the meat had a more seared, ‘martmitey’ flavour.

For dinner, we shared the beef dish, which was absolutely delicious, and the crispy chips were fantastic. The ambiance of the place is lovely, and the staff is incredibly friendly, especially towards four-legged guests. They even provided us with doggy bags to take leftovers home for our pups! There’s a great selection of gins available, and the wines and champagne by the glass are all excellent. The breakfast is also outstanding, with a wide variety of options. The traditional cooked breakfast was top-notch, and they served mimosa with fresh orange juice (it was my birthday, so it would have been rude not to!).

From start to finish, our experience at the restaurant was exceptional. The staff were incredibly friendly and efficient, always eager to assist, which made a significant difference. From check-in, to the bar and waiting staff, to the sommelier, and the talented chefs who worked their magic in the kitchen, it was a pleasure to witness. The dinner music was a delightful touch, far from the typical background noise! The food was exquisite, and the wine selections were perfect. The Chamberlain Room in Troutbeck House was luxurious, offering views of the river, a refreshing contrast to the street views from the Red Lion. Breakfast at the Red Lion was also impressive. It was a wonderful experienc...

there are around 700 red lion pubs in Great Britain, but if they want a real food look, we recommend to them the head for the in east chisenbury, wiltshire. when they do that they do not expect to have the pub to themselves, but because the secret (how good it is) spreads quickly, so that on the occasion of our visit there the place was revived during the Sunday lunch and dinner service. there are many reasons why the red lion should be so popular, but let us now stick to the food. the red lion is led by guy and britt manning, an anglo-American couple who met while both at thomas keller’s per se worked in new york. this was clearly a vintage period for per se, because it was when james scare...
