REVIEWS
at the red lion
Have visited the Red Lion a few times, since my son & family have recently moved to Myddle. The meals are excellent, a lovely atmosphere with open fire to greet us and a warm friendly atmosphere from Carol & staff. Definately looking forward to more visits there in the future.

Eight of us went for my sons birthday and enjoyed a wonderful evening, the re-furbishment has been done so well, still keeping its old building charm. Food and service was excellent, with a really good choice of dishes. The manager was very attentive I would recommend this restaurant wholeheartedly. I have put this at the top of my list to go back.

We have been to the Red Lion for evening meals since it re-opened a year ago. Passing through Myddle we stopped to try the lunchtime menu £9.95 for 2 courses. We both fancied the Tai curry and I had cheese cake, my wife had sticky toffee pudding, washed down with a guest ale(three to choose from). Food and service were to a high standard as would expect in this lovely country pub.

Our first dining experience at our new local was filled with superbly friendly staff, excellent atmosphere (especially in the bar area), wide range of choice on the menu, deliciously edible food and a reasonable price for all! Keep up the great work!

The management and staff are superb and so friendly, kind and caring. The choice of menu and the quality of the food is superb and the presentation is excellent. Good choice of beers, wines and spirits. Prices are not the cheapest but you get what you pay for and the quality is excellent. It is a family friendly restaurant that has nice grounds to sit out in or for children to have a run around. Have now eaten here twice when visiting the area and both times it has been great. Thank you to Jackie and everyone at the Red Lion.
Great place”

I first popped into the Red Lion just after Christmas following a long walk in the nearby area and was very impressed with the range of beers on tap, the service and the amazing chunky chips then, which led me to booking a table on Good Friday for lunch with my husband and parents. The service here was exceptional - friendly without being intrusive, quickly responding to questions and requests. Most of us chose from the three course set menu which is very reasonably priced indeed - the creamy garlic mushrooms were to die for, and the prawn cocktail was excellent too. For the mains, everyone on the table was equally delighted - the pie of the day was particularly good, and the selection of vegetables, which included samphire, was a pleasant change from the norm. Puddings were also a hit, particularly the chocolate brownie. Overall, the meal was delightful and excellent value for money to boot. We will definitely be back.
Exceptional service, delicious food - we will be back!”

We were staying at the lodge in the grounds so decided to eat there as the pub looked lovely inside and the staff were so friendly. We were so glad we did the food was amazing and nothing was too much trouble. In fact we went back the next day for Sunday lunch, which was equally as good. Just wish we lived closer as we would definitely be regulars.

We drove past this pub many times and often spoke about visiting. Upon walking in we were greeted by friendly bar staff that ensured a table was ready and even put out a baby chair. The food was excellent. Prices are similar to Shrewsbury Town centre, but definitely worth it. The deserts seem pricey but are to die for!!

We booked a table for 16 for my husbands birthday dinner. The staff were helpful at booking and we were in a lovely room up stairs. When we arrived the staff were helpful and friendly. The food was served in good time and was delicious, with so many of us I think we tried most things in the menu and no one was disappointed.

Have eaten here on several occasions while staying at The Lodge. The accommodation is superb... beautifully presented and furnished with everything you need for a self catering break. One of the best cottages we have ever stayed in. The food is also superb with a good range of dishes, excellent presentation and very efficient and friendly young serving staff. A great experience. Thank you.

Came as a table of five friends for a Christmas catch up. Ate on the Christmas menu, the food was lovely, and came with plenty of veg etc. The restaurant had a nice ambiance and the staff were very friendly + professional, Josh was especially good. Will definitely visit the red lion again.

Tasteful & stylish. The only trouble with it is that it's 5 miles from my house - jealous I don't live in Myddle!! I can see us back there time and time again - nice work Lee!!

We first gasped at the wonderful lion face that welcomes visitors from the car park. By the time we opened the door, we were enchanted by the new look of the pub. So class, so serene, so friendly, everything had been given attention and consideration to reach its optimum effect. Food and drink, preparation and presentation, staff, décor and lights, athmosphere and prices, all were in delightful harmony.
The transformation was beyond my expectations. I therefore indulged in a three course meal just to prove to myself that it was perfect in all senses, and it was.
Thank you to your master chef and to your smart waiters who all contributed to our top notch dinner. You made Myddle a must!

Just to say thanks to you and your staff for last night we had a great time with excellent food.

Very good food served in warm, comfortable yet elegant surroundings. Just what a 21st century high end country pub should be.

Very impressed with the choice on the Sunday menu and well priced 2 or 3 course options.
I thoroughly enjoyed the Prawn cocktail and the Veggies Wellington was very... read more tasty. My husband was very pleased with his choice of garlic mushrooms as a starter and salmon for his main. The four of us felt the plate size for the very nice choice of accompanying veggies was a little on the small size for us to share.
I also felt the size of our table did not allow for the requisite social distancing and we were very pleased no one was shown to the two seater table next to our table as that was extremely close!Colleen M

We visited tonight as a family of four. When we arrived we were greeted by a very pleasant waitress that took us to our table, she explained the procedure to... read more us as this is the first time visiting for food since lockdown. I have to honestly say we felt safe and at ease at all times throughout our visit. Everything is put onto a neighbouring vacant table next to you so waitresses have no contact and refrain from leaning over you ect personally I think this is fantastic as it keeping both customers and staff safe at all times. We will definitely be returning.
The food was fantastic aswell, all in all a pleasant visit and can’t wait to return again soon.LottyP_12

We visited the Red Lion this weekend and wanted to sit in the garden. On arrival we were welcomed nicely and there was sanitiser in place for our use in... read more the bar area.
I have visited this establishment several times in the past and it’s always been a pleasure. However, yesterday once we arrived and sat in the garden and ordered our drinks they were delivered by a waitress with the glasses in her hand and as she passed the glass to my husband her hand touched my husband’s hand. I am sure this was totally unintentional but my thoughts are currently around the problems with COVID-19! at this present time with numbers rising daily and that it would be best practice to minimalise personal contact by delivering drinks to the client on a tray.
Another concern for us was that we saw several people leave the garden and several people arrive but we never saw anybody sanitise or clean the tables and chairs.
Finally we expected for our personal details to be taken for the record however this was not carried out. God forbid if there was an incidence of Covid this couldn’t be traced?
I would like to strongly say this is not a complaint it is more giving positive feedback on our observations in the hope that this feedback assists management ensuring customers feel safe in the future.JenJenKen
