Red Lion Pub in West Dorset

Great food & drink. Staff are very friendly & the Manager is very welcoming

Lovely morning dog walk then a tasty lunch. I had homity pie for the first time I can highly recommend it is very tasty. Good staff and atmosphere.

A really nice pub, the service was friendly and welcoming, the foods nice. We had a great night there and would go back.

Great pub that also does excellent food. Lovely atmosphere and definitely worth a visit 👍👍

On arrival at the pub we were greeted at the bar by a member of staff who included our daughter in the conversation and immediately organised her a drink (big deal for our 3yr old). Staff were friendly and attentive. Food was tasty and thoroughly enjoyed . Would definitely recommend and will be back ourselves.

Top notch food and very lovely atmosphere. Dog friendly even while you eat your tasty meal. Very impressed by the menu as it had tasty gluten free and vegan meals.

Parts of the pub are lovely and it could be amazing. The toilets we really quite dirty when we visited on Friday night and it was very quiet with little atmosphere.The staff were really nice and attentive and the food was alright. I had a halloumi salad and the basil leaves in the salad were quite overwhelming, it was ok though... not awful. It may improve the atmosphere if there was some music in background... although I appreciate some people dont like this.

We tend to eat roast dinners out quite often and as we were passing through, thought we’d try the Red Lion. The pub was empty but we had checked Google reviews and they were ok from a couple of months ago. We ordered our drinks and I got the wrong drink but let it go as didn’t mind the drink I received. We ordered 2 adult roasts and a child’s one. When they came I asked if my son’s was a child’s and she snapped at me that I hadn’t asked for a child’s one (she later apologised when checking if all was ok when I told her I found her rude). Nothing on the plate tasted fresh and our 6 year old told her the potatoes weren’t fresh but she guaranteed that they were cooked this morning. We ate up quickly (what was edible) and got out and paid for a child’s meal instead of an adult as she seemed to think this was our only issue. We also said how we had 18 carrots and a lots of cauliflower and broccoli cheese (me and my son don’t eat cheese) to share between us. This is just our opinion of course. This is such a shame as it is a lovely pub in a lovely little town.

A very pleasant meal for four people at a reasonable price. The Red Lion is a big, airy pub and the real ale is very good. The service was a little slow but don't be put off.

The cheese board & a variety of other desserts. A great way to finish off an excellent meal & some fine real ales... thank you to the Red Lion's landlord & staff tonight, our family & friends party of eight had a fabulous evening.
