The Red Lion in Staffordshire Moorlands

After being extremely disappointed by another local pub, we chanced upon The Red Lion. We were made to feel welcome and enjoyed very good service from both the barmaid, waitress and I presume, the landlord. Although you have a little wait as all the food is cooked from scratch, it is totally worth it. Excellent food at a very reasonable price, well presented and piping hot. Lovely atmosphere, we enjoyed our meal and felt very much at home. Would highly recommend.

My partner and I had a meal, the steak was cooked perfect as was my partners mixed grill. The service was excellent by our waitress Amelia she was very chatty, polite and catered our every need. I would highly recommended 👌🏽👍🏽

Was really looking forward to this meal after the lovely welcome we received yesterday for drinks so booked for tonight....sadly the prawn cocktail starter was nothing like we expected and was very spicy, ice cube required to cool the mouth! My chicken diane was lovely but hubby's braised beef was lacking in flavour, it was eaten but sadly not enjoyed 😢

Quite a good variety of options on the menu including vegetarian options. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Managed to sit our large party of 8 on a bank holiday afternoon. Triple cooked chips were great and you get very generous portions especially with the kids menu. I had a ribeye steak which was well cooked but the cut wasn't the best (a lot of sinew). Parking is a bit limited as it is near a canal path so lots of dog walkers park there as well.

Very disappointing! A very large group of us had reserved the huts at the back of the pub 25+ adults and about 12 kids all paying for drinks etc at the weekend. We had walked along the canal and this was the last stop. Some of the group joined us were older and we tried to put the heaters on as it had gone cold. Sadly not working and when asked why we were told no he had turned them off due to the increased costs!!! Sorry but when you have a group of that size you should accommodate! No hot drink option either couldn’t be bothered with the kettle either. Suffice it to say some didn’t stay and we will not be turning!

Have not been here for a while, heard they had a change to the menu and food offering so tried it out.Wide choice to suit most demands. I opted for a steak and my wife went for the chicken diane, both cooked to our liking and delicious. Well presented and such good value for money. Looking forward to our next visit.

Enjoyed dinner on Wednesday Steak night. Probably the best Ribeye I have had for as far as I can remember. Cooked to perfection, accompanied by roasted cheery tomatoes, flat mushroom, chips and salad.Will be back for more.

Great meals here tonight, party of 8. Lots of choice on the menu at reasonable price. Nicely cooked & presented with excellent service. Definitely recommend..

I haven't been to this pub before. I was greeted by all 3 barmaids saying 'hello' in unison; I felt at home immediately. The pint of Hobgoblin I ordered was sour, but without any quibbles I was asked if I wanted anything else. I took a pint of Timothy Taylor, which was superb. A very welcoming and comfortable local pub.

Just spent a pleasant few hours at the Red Lion with my friend. We enjoyed our drinks in the lovely garden which had plenty of seating ,some undercover. I had already eaten but my friend ordered fish and chips and said they were delicious. They looked amazing with a huge fish on a separate little dish,a lovely touch and prevents soggy bottoms lol, home made chips too!. I wish I hadn't have already eaten and can't wait to return to sample it for myself.The staff were lovely and friendly and couldn't do enough for you.So thankyou for making our Saturday afternoon a very pleasant one.
