    Last minute decision to treat the family to a New Year’s Eve meal rather than cooking at home - 9 of us including a baby - not only did the Red Lion staff accommodate us all given that the venue was very busy, the service was fantastic - prompt, assertive and nothing was too much hassle. What a lovely restaurant area too. Love the picture feature wall and fireplace! The food was outstanding. A mixture of burgers, pies, kids meals and I opted for the fish and chips - bloody amazing! Every plate cleared and every person very happy. Well done, Phoebe and team. We can’t wait to come back (thanks for the red envelope too, we hope it’s a big winner when we do return!) x
