Red Lion Wilstead in Bedford

Today it was the turn of the Red Lion in Wilsead to have us check them out. A pleasent, if not your quintessential pub but was first licensed in 1671 to Grace Freeland. Had a refreshing John Smith and a cool Fosters. Fantastic hanging baskets and a good ambiance.

Great night, everyone was really friendly.

Right to begin. Food was poorly cooked. Fish was served in oil older than my grandad. We complained and the manager acted very juvenile with attitude refusing to hear the complaint. He was telling is how we should be complaining. Outrageous isn't. How would you feel if this happened to you. It felt like i could not convey my complaint at all. Chips were not as salty as the managers attitude. Outrageous behavior and attitude

Awfull service very rude Manager beside he was aproched twice about the way he handle the complaint should you want to be well served and looked after just avoid .Manner you grown with so is not something you pick and I guarantee neither the voice or the attitude are kept to a professional level .Good luck with keeoing up the business with this sort of attitude

We had 2 steak meals and a bottle wine very pleased with the way we was treated and the food was excellent.

Excellent food, friendly service nice place to eat and drink

Pours a good Guinness and serves some lovely dishes. Can definitely recommend the curries.

Split into two, with a bar on one side and restaurant on the other, it's a traditional style pub but feels more like a 'locals' place than a special occasion restaurant. The bar man was really friendly though and helped put initial fears at ease and sport was being shown on the TVs to create a decent enough atmosphere. The toilets are functional and there's not a huge amount of seating but with the roaming dog it felt authentic!Don't let any initial reservations stop you staying, it's actually not too bad.

Excellent roast dinner on Remembrance Sunday provided for members and family's of the Wilstead branch of the RBL, service and food couldn't be faulted and Chris and the staff, as always, were friendly and welcoming. Thank you

Good local pub. Tasty traditional food. We arrived Saturday afternoon, a party of 9 (kids and adults), and had a lovely time. Local footie team came in after the match plus a couple of family groups. Looks like a popular place.
