The ribs were huge, honestly bigger than I expected for the price. We shared a few tapas plates and still had leftovers to take home. Portion sizes are definitely generous here, which is a nice change.

Popped in for a pint. The beer selection is seriously good &ndash; loads of real ales and craft kegs to choose from. The place is much bigger than it looks from the street, and the outside seating was perfect for people-watching. Lively spot.

Lovely spot by the river, great for a sunny day drink. But the prices for a glass of wine were a bit steep for what you get. Still, the view of the cathedral is hard to beat.

Loved the multi-room layout, felt like a proper old pub. The open fires were a nice touch on a chilly evening.

The staff here are just so lovely. They remembered my name from last time and recommended a wine that went perfectly with my pasta. Felt like popping into a friend&#39;s place.

A nice spot for a Sunday lunch. The meat was tasty and the accompaniments were really good. I appreciated the comfortable seating, it made the meal feel relaxed and unhurried.

Been here a few times for the football. Tables are always clean, staff are friendly. Food&#39;s decent, had the fish and chips last time - proper portion, not greasy. Good spot if you want a pint and the game on.

This restaurant offers a great selection of drinks and the service is top-notch. Our servers Kerry and Jazz were friendly and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our brunch.

We had a family meal for six there and everyone enjoyed their meal.Staff were friendly and attentive but let us enjoy our meal in peace which we appreciated.Thank you Red Lion. We will come back.

Solid pub with a great beer selection. The pizza was decent, a good match for the pints. Service was efficient, got a table quickly on a Thursday evening. A reliable spot for a straightforward meal and a drink.

Lovely spot, the staff were really attentive. I had the red wine chorizo, it was the best I&#39;ve ever had. The booths are quite comfortable too, makes for a relaxed meal.

Popped in on a Saturday night without a booking. Those chicken wings were the star &ndash; crispy skin, super juicy inside. The ranch sauce was something else. Staff were really on it despite the crowd.

Popped in for a full English. Got it quick even though they were packed. Bacon was spot on, beans not too runny. Price felt fair. Just a solid, no-fuss fry-up.

Seated our group of 6 quickly, even though we showed up without a booking. Staff were really helpful getting us sorted. Perfect for a quick lunch when you&#39;re in a rush.

Portions here are generous for the price. Ordered the pad thai and green curry, both came out in big bowls. Left with a takeaway box, which is always a good sign for me. The menu is huge, so you can definitely find something.

Just had the carvery for lunch. Quick service, friendly staff. The roast beef was spot on, proper Yorkshire pudding too. Good for a quick bite. Menu&#39;s a bit limited but does the job.

The eggs benedict were just right for a lazy breakfast. They even did a smaller portion for my friend who doesn&#39;t eat much. Staff were really nice about it.

The staff here are so good with kids! They were really patient and helpful when my little nephew got a bit fussy. Made our group lunch way less stressful. A big plus for a noisy table like ours.

The cod goujon sandwich was really tasty, and the chips were piping hot. I liked the vibe here &ndash; the place has a nice, relaxed feel to it. Prices felt fair for what you get.

Decent spot for a cheap pint. The space is huge, so even when it&#39;s packed you&#39;re not on top of each other. Grabbed some nachos to share &ndash; they were fine, nothing special, but hit the spot. Good for a casual weekend meet-up.

As a student, I really appreciate the reasonable prices here. The staff are lovely, and Benedict pours a great pint of Guinness. The place has a nice, relaxed vibe that&#39;s perfect for a casual hangout.

Came for the live music. Good vibe, decent crowd. Music was a nice touch, made the evening. Got a quick bite, burger was fine. Solid spot if you want something casual with a bit of energy.

Love the vibe in here - the dark wood and cosy corners make it feel like a proper old pub. Came in for a quiet pint on a Tuesday afternoon and it was just the spot. Could happily sit for hours.

We never have a problem with the food.  It is always that bit different, well cooked, and well presented.  It is becoming one of our favourite places to eat.

The steak pie was pretty good, nice and tender. The burger was fine too, homemade and decently sized. Service was polite and attentive. Prices felt reasonable for what you get.

Booked the upstairs function room for a private do. The team handled everything perfectly, really clear with communication beforehand. They were so attentive on the night, nothing was too much trouble. Made the whole event run smoothly.
