The Red Lion, Godalming

What's happened to the Red Lion ? Been past a few times and never anyone in there. I hear the pool table is back out of sheer desperation to get punters back in after they basicly stuck two fingers up at the locals when they took over. I hear all sorts of stories around town of how they are throwing their weight around. Flyering in other venues , underpaying bands, threatening locals if they park outside the pub. I heard they cancelled a charity event due to be put on there at the last minute and then put their own event. It's all very unsavoury. Will be glad when they finally leave as many in town have simply had enough of their bully boy tactics.

The Red Lion, Godalming

what an absolute dive ! Tried to refurb it recently and tried to go down the trendy route. Just dark and gloomy looking with no atmosphere. The beer tasted awful too, like the pipes hadn't been cleaned for a week. The staff were rude ( except the guy with the beard, he was nice. We ended up going the the Star nearby where it was a lot nicer.
