"We decided to have Sunday lunch at the Red Lion at Hunningham this weekend. Situated in the countryside near a narrow bridge with a lovely stream. Sadly it was pouring down with rain and very windy. The interior was lovely and warm, cosy and bright. The styling is wonderful and the separate areas allow you to choose what suits you best. The middle area had a TV screen (sadly I dislike TVs when Im out eating). We were seated in the side area which was better for us. I had a few issues with the glasses of red wine but the staff were helpful and professional and I enjoyed the final glass thankfully. My friend enjoyed her white pinot grigio wine. We ordered the chicken and the beef. WOW what a lovely plate full of food. Must have been my unlucky day mine was tepid on arrival. Again the staff were helpful and professional and the issue was swiftly resolved. The food was lovely. Strangely I really enjoyed the way they cooked the cabbage. It gave it a really great flavour and texture. The roast potatoes and parsnip were crunchy and tasty. Honestly we normally go to the Stag at Offchurch (no longer running) this was better. Only improvement in my opinion is the gravy. However I could have upgraded, for a price, to the red wine jus. Great interior, staff, wine and food. Looking forward to returning Price per person: £20–30 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Sunday Roasted Half Chicken, Roast Beef Sunday Roast Parking space: Plenty of parking Parking options: Free of charge parking lot"

"I had eaten here a few times before and the food was good, however last time, I had to chase our orders and the manager came over and started shouting at me and insisted I told him whether he should sack his chef. Really unprofessional. However, last night, I thought we would go back. We arrived and were shown to a table. We ordered drinks and the same manager came over and said Im not sure when you will get your food! We asked what he meant. He said (in a very obnoxious and confrontational tone) We are very busy, what do you want me to do? Go and kick the chef? He started shouting and I simply asked if he could give me a rough idea of how long food would be. He got more angry and was shouting to the point where other diners were looking over. I tried to reason with him and said that we would wait but if he could ask the chef just to give us an idea, that would be great. His tone got even louder and he snatched our menus back from us. He said You better leave and then started on me, bringing up how I complained last time which was over 6 months ago. We were embarrased, astounded and felt so awkward. He ushered us out of the restaurant with everybody watching. We then went to Paprika Club and explained we were in a huge rush. Whilst I am a regular there, the restaurant was packed and they ensured we had a wonderful meal within 20 minutes. Been, you are an awful place and your manager is a joke. We will never return and I would urge others to steer WELL CLEAR!"
