The Red Lion Pub Dining Cranford

Service very slow Starters very small. Roast Potatoes Frozen) veg tasteless and undercooked. Cauliflower Cheese was cold pretty much like the rest of the meal. Main Meal very small portions hidden under a massive puff of air Yorkshire Pud) also cold. If you ate paying above average price for Sunday Luch then the food should reflect this.... unfortunately it did not. Sorry guys not very good at all

This pub is superb, lovely location, decor and vibe. We went for dinner here and the food was fantastic and the service brilliant. We had salmon and the bbq pulled pork/duck for starters. Then the lamb kebab and pie of the day (pork chorizo) for mains. All was excellent and would definitely recommend. Looking forward to coming back in the summer as looks great to eat outside. Great pub, great food, check it out!

First tike visiting The Red Lion. Heard a lot of good things about it, and it definitely lived up to it! My family and I visited for Sunday lunch. We were booked in for 1pm, seated straight away and drinks ordered. The area was a large extension to the building but it was very well maintained and the place is very nice looking. My wife and I had the BBQ pulled pork for starters and it was delicious! Full of flavour. My wife couldn't finish hers so I mopped it up too! My daughter had bread and butter for starter and she said it was very tasty. For mains my wife turkey dinner with all the trimmings, I had steak ale pie and my daughter had kids chicken goujons. The turkey dinner and steak and ale pie were so good, but the portion sizes are quite large, we struggled to finish ours. The chicken goujons were massive and come with chunky chips. The chicken is so soft and moist. My daughter said they were some of the best she's ever had, and she's quite the connoisseur when it comes to chicken goujons! For dessert my daughter had chocolate ice cream which comes with a little chocolate flake and a wafer. Very well presented and looked nice. After a bit of encouragement from the family I decided to go for the Belgian chocolate brownie for dessert, and I'm glad I did! Wow, it was delicious! It comes heated with ice cream, chocolate sauce, little smarties on top, a wafer, a flake. The service was brilliant, we had our table cleared promptly between courses, we weren't rushed between courses, the staff were very friendly. It's not the cheapest of places to eat, but the service and food definitely reflects its price tag. Thank you for a brilliant Sunday lunch, Red Lion. We certainly will be back.

Food was great but service was awful. As we waited for the table a waiter was carrying drinks on a drink tray and one drink had fallen. It was a bottle of beer which spilt on one of my friends. Wasn’t given any tissue to clean up, the spillage was left on the floor which is not safe… When the food was being take to the table some food was dropped on the floor…. At the end when we came to pay for the bill our £210 deposit was never taken off. Luckily we noticed this as we were about to leave that this was not taken off the bill. When asked waiters about it they seemed puzzled and confused. We got the refund in the end. If we didn’t notice this we would have overpaid by a lot of money…. There is no other way to get the refund back other than it being taken off the bill. Just some feedback, maybe there should be a system where the refund automatically goes back to the payer as soon as the table checks in? Not good service at all! If we did not notice about the deposit would have been out of pocket. Really disappointing that this happened….

Have just literally returned from the red lion in Cranford. A family meal which we had pre booked Impeccable service , delicious food recommend the steak and ale pie and a quick drinks service. Need to visit more often. Thanks red lion for a lovely evening
