    Disappointed with the choice. We were in the garden restaurant which I didn’t know. Service was fabulous, the staff are super friendly and helpful. I had mushroom Arancini , quite bland then tandoori lamb kebab but it was very subtle, I couldn’t taste the spice but it was nice enough. Pretty expensive really for what we had. Not blown away - ladies toilets were awful!

    First time using this area since the Pizza option has been replaced. Food was delicious. Perhaps may be a few other good options could be offered. . But won’t suit everyone who wants a more hearty meal.

    Hi thank you for your great review. Just to emphasise on your comment about a more hearty meal, please just book in the Red Lion main restaurant you can also sit outside of the conservatory in the sun and enjoy a hearty meal, as we wanted to keep the both offers different with the kitchen garden being about sharing food and drinks and being less formal. See you all soon.

    One of our favourite pubs and it did not disappoint. I went with my two children and the lady who served us (I think her name was Shiv) was fantastic. She was friendly, attentive and great with the children.

    Lovely busy outdoor/undercover pizza place! Good menu, well stocked bar, plenty of friendly helpful staff. Watch your pizza being hand made and delivered to your table piping hot. And you can take away what you can't eat! This is going to become another favourite of the Greedy Gordon eateries!

    Really tasty pizzas, really lovely sitting outside and lovely drinks. Such a shame it isn’t busier because it is a real jem for outside dining. Maybe some extra tapas or things ok the menu would help? But, as always, whatever Greedy Gordons do, the food, drinks and service is fantastic.
