The Red Lion Chalton

Long association with this lovely country pub. Food was very good. A little disappointed with the greeting and table service a tad distant but did not spoil our lunch

I decided to meet my family at this pub because we wanted to sit outside. There are plenty of seating options with sun shades for those who prefer to dine in the shade. The garden offers fantastic views of the surrounding countryside. The food was good and the staff was very friendly.

Met up with work colleagues for my retirement dinner just 6 of us, we had a round table in the alcove which was very suitable. My husband got a bit warm and the amazing landlady went off to get a fan which she found in the chefs flat, nothing to much trouble. Food excellent it may take a while but all freshly cooked, staff were very attentative checking we were all good. We have eaten several time here and have never been disappointed well done again!!

We went there for lunch because they allowed our dog in the bar area. Menu was very pubby and nothing special but the specials were an interesting read. Starters (chicken wings and prawn cocktail) were very ordinary so 4/10 but the specials main courses were very disappointing. Cottage pie at £21+ was 2/3 mash and very little meat, the scampi was dry, thick coating/small meat and the chips were tasteless so 3/10. Will not return. Bar seemed disorganised.

Took a friend for lunch who had never visited The Red Lion before and we had the most lovely time. The staff were welcoming and their timings perfect. The food was really good and my friend said it was the best ‘Pork Belly’ she had ever tasted! I had the Lasagne which was very good accompanied by a couple of glasses of an excellent smooth Shiraz. Cleared plates all round. Water requested and presented in a lovely chilled bottle, nice touches make all the difference. Finished off with a lovely little look at the older parts of the pub with the landlord. Brilliant lunch, didn’t want it to end. Thanks all. We will return.

I am pleased to report that the Red Lion has maintained its high standard of food and service since my last visit. During my recent trip, I enjoyed a perfectly poured pint of HSB for £5.00, along with Stuffed Garlic Mushrooms with tarragon aioli as a starter for £6.95. For my main course, I chose the Chicken Kiev with rosemary thyme roasted new potatoes and creamed leeks for £16.95, accompanied by a generous glass of La Vuelta Malbec for £9.90! The service was exceptional, as always, and I cannot recall ever receiving poor service at this establishment. I highly recommend the Red Lion to anyone looking for a great meal and experience.

My experience at this restaurant last night was a spontaneous decision. Booking online was easy, and upon arrival, we were greeted with a warm welcome. I have enjoyed a beer in the garden before due to the stunning views, but the interior was just as inviting, with a cozy atmosphere and unique décor that gave it a local pub vibe despite being a Fuller's pub. We tried a variety of dishes from the standard and specials menu, all of which were delicious. A special mention goes to the baked garlic mushroom, which was a taste sensation - so much so that I nearly forgot to take a picture before tucking in! The service was excellent, with very friendly staff. Overall, I loved my experience at this...

Myself, wife and mother-in-law visited for Sunday lunch. Very busy! Took a while (20mins for our orders to be taken, but that was OK as we could see they were busy. Two roast dinners, two very disappointed diners! The veg consisted of one slice of carrot and a tablespoon of cabbage. Oh and a single healping of cauliflower cheese between two. But the potatoes stole the show with their impenetrable exterior. None were able to be eaten! I played it safe with a burger, at least so I thought. The driest burger I 've ever had the misfortune to endure (and I 've eaten a lot! . We did complain, twice in fact. The first response was I 'll pass it onto the chef (no apology from the serving staff or ch...

We normally go to this pub for an amazing roast at lunchtime but unfortunately couldn't go at that time last Sunday so booked for 6pm. Couldn't believe what a different experience this was, we all ordered a different roast and to be fair the meat and most of the veg was lovely but the roast potatoes and parsnips were the worst I have ever had anywhere. Normally the potatoes are crispy and soft in the middle, these we struggled to get a knife through and I couldn't at all as so hard and thought they would give me indigestion. The cauliflower cheese usually comes in a separate bowl and I always look forward to that this time it was a mushy mess on the plate. No one came over to check we were h... Voir le carte
