A proper British pub. The real ales are well-kept, which I appreciate. I was really pleased to see a few lighter, lower-ABV options on the board &ndash; it&rsquo;s nice to have a choice that fits with a mindful approach. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, just what you&rsquo;d hope for.

Curries were fragrant and clearly made fresh. Quality is solid. Good spot for a quick, reliable lunch near the office. Portion was decent for the price. Service was efficient.

The fish was freshly prepared and tasted pretty good. Staff were friendly and handled my request for no dairy without any fuss. The sea view from the table was a nice bonus, though the breeze got a bit strong later on.

Generous portions, and you can tell everything is cooked fresh. The staff are really friendly, which makes the whole experience feel relaxed. Service was quick too, so you&#39;re not left waiting around.

The fish and chips are cooked fresh to order, so the batter is always light and crispy. You can really taste the difference. It&rsquo;s a proper treat.

Been coming here for years. The laksa broth is the reason - it&#39;s always rich and spicy, just like I remember it from my first visit. A bit pricier now, but that flavour is consistent. My go-to comfort food spot.

I had a fantastic meal with my friends, and the staff were incredibly attentive. The skewers I ordered were cooked to perfection!

Portions are generous for the price. Food was fresh, and it was ready exactly when they said it would be.

The portions are generous, so sharing a few dishes is a good idea. The bill came out very reasonable.

The Sunday roast hit the spot. Sat outside, which was nice. Had a slight hiccup with the dessert order, but the food was exactly what we needed. Solid spot.

The set menu is such a steal! The French onion soup was so rich and the duck liver parfait portion was huge. Perfect for sharing with a friend before a night out.

Perfect for a quick bite. Got the blueberry pancakes and a cortado. Pancakes were fluffy, coffee strong. Bar staff were friendly and quick. Just what I needed on a busy day.

Had the chicken schnitzel for lunch, it was cooked just right. The space itself is really spacious and airy, which I liked. Felt very relaxed just sitting there, not rushed at all. Good spot if you want a chill meal.

Colourful little spot down on the lower promenade. Really laid-back. The vegan bacon breakfast sandwich was the standout, with those crispy hash browns. Coffee&#39;s just right, too.

Friendly staff even when it&#39;s packed. They&#39;re quick and efficient, which is exactly what you need for a fast lunch. Makes grabbing a quick bite here a no-brainer.

Lovely countryside pub, very cozy. The pig theme decor is actually quite charming and fun. We sat in the garden for lunch, which was a great spot. The rustic atmosphere really makes it feel like a proper escape.

Food&#39;s top notch around here. Not too sweet, just right. Had a mix-up with delivery once, but they fixed it fast. Got the right dish in time for dinner.

Loved the vibe here! Perfect spot for a casual catch-up with mates. The pizzas were seriously good - super fresh and the crust was just right. Service was spot on, friendly but not in your face. Will definitely be back for more.

Been coming here for years, and their rotating tap list is the main reason. The London Black stout is a regular favourite, goes down a treat with the Sunday roast. Always something new to try, keeps it interesting.

The avocado mozzarella salad was a lovely fresh start. Felt like a little Italian escape in the middle of the city.

A pretty good meal. The chowder was rich and the mussels were a real standout. Scallops were cooked nicely, too. Service was attentive, though the place did get a bit loud later on. A solid spot for seafood.

Been a few times now. The staff are always friendly and attentive, makes you feel comfortable. Good spot for a relaxed meal.

Really liked the food and drinks. The atmosphere was nice, but the chairs were a bit hard for a long sit.

The atmosphere at The Red Lion is very welcoming, and the staff, especially Andy and Charlotte, are attentive and friendly, making it a perfect spot for a casual meal or special celebration.
