BITE user comments - mhw2
Comments by mhw2
Good evening, I have been reading the posts on here now and again over the last 6 months and I must say I find most of them very far from the truth and quite amazes me. For one there is not and never has been a car parking charge for anybody who visits the Red lion. If you get a ticket from the ticket machine and hand it in at the bar your money is refunded simple as that. This applies from 7 am until 5 pm only after that no ticket is required. For two the Red Lion has gone from strength to strength over the last few months and a vast number of old customers now come in on a regular basis and have made it known to me and the staff they are very happy the Red Lion is now back to where it used to be as the hub of the community. I would like to suggest you are welcome to come in and try one of our four real ales two regular and two guests Or maybe try one of our meals from the bar or restaurant and I am sure you will not be disappointed. After that if any of you are not happy with any part of your experience here please let me know and I would be delighted discuss it with you in person. Martin

Hi Faz,
Allyson has moved on to another one of our pubs and the gentleman in question does not now visit the Red lion. I have not let him come on the premises swinging a stick around scaring everybody including my daughter since i arrived so do not worry! hope to see you in the future . Mcrewe I do remember you and the food was lovely that evening, Roly was hoping you would be still here when we arrived. Dolly is very happy now and a lovely woman and a great personality to go with it. Hope everything is going well for yourself and if you are around pop in for a beer.

Hi, As much as i would like to let dogs in to the Red Lion im sorry to say it is a company policy that we can`t allow this. We have a large heated patio area which is ideal and we have a bowl there for your dogs to drink out of. I hope this will not stop you drinking at the Red Lion in the future and thank you for your comments.

Hello everybody, My name is Martin and I took over the Red Lion 5 weeks ago. I have read all your comments over the last 6 months and must say I agree with quite a few of them."if not all". I had come down to visit the Red Lion on a number of occasions before I decided to take the establishment on. I would say it was one of the worst experiences i have ever had over the last 30 odd years eating out. The service was non existant, what food they had left on the menu was certainly not the best. and last but not least the beer was undrinkable.
The reason I decided to take on the challenge was because I believed the Red Lion and its long suffering customers deserved better and I hope to give that to you.
There are now four Bitters on all the time Cumberland, Pedigree and two guest beers changing weekly.
We now have a new chef Roly who has worked with me for over 15 years delivering excellent food. We have a batch of Traditional home cooked specials available every day including, Liver and bacon, Shepherds pie,and a selection of jacket potatoes and many more just to wet your appetite.
On November the 3rd we will be running a beer festival run over the whole week with about 16 different beers for you to try out.. For every pint of bitter you purchase during the week we will give 10p to the childrens ward at Stoke Mandeville Hospital. We will also be having a quiz night on the 6th and you have a chance to win 72 pints of our best bitter as well as many other prizes. Once again the money collected will go to the charity so I hope you come along and help us raise as much as possible.
I know you have all been dissapointed with the Red lion over the last couple of years but i hope you will not hold that agains us now and come in and give us another chance.
Hope to see you all again soon

When I first arrived at the Red lion I came on here to answer some of the locals questions which I did. I find it amazing that after a fantastically successful year we still have someone posting absolute rubbish on this site. I don't know why but I would have thought admin would look in to the same person posting these lies over and over again. For your information the Red Lion is thriving even in the current climate. The locals I have chatted to are very happy and frequent the establishment regularly and on top of that Marstons and myself are over the moon with the progress in the last year. This is the last time i will post on here as i feel i do not need to as the success of the last year speaks for itself. by all means keep up the petty lies and rubbish you keep posting as it had no affect on our successful year in any way at all!!
