"We’ve been to the red lion many times and always really enjoyed it. This visit was on Boxing Day and whilst the food was still really good we were just let down really by a bit of a chaotic experience. The food had been pre-ordered but when we arrived, I was told that the fish for the main course had changed and had I not got the email? (no I haven’t). As it was the alternative fish was really nice, but this was a bit of an indicator of how things were going to go. My starter arrived and it was with pink peppercorns, but it was absolutely drowning in them. Once you picked all those off it was very tasty. The main course for my husband was beef which he said was very good. However, I’d noticed that on his plate the only vegetable was some cabbage and other people appear to be having carrots too. Asking the waitress she then advised that they should’ve been on the plate so went to fetch them and by the time they arrived he’d practically finished his food. Dessert I’d ordered Baked Alaska and was basically just a puddle on a plate and it went back twice. The waitress asked if I’d like to swap for something else so I opted for the chocolate cherry trifle which was really good. So the food was good overall, but it just seemed disorganised despite the pre-ordering. However, I have to say that the staff were always very helpful and accommodating and did actually reduce our bill because of the issues. I think the problem was that they just had too many large parties. Behind us, there was a table of 30 people and there were a couple of other tables of 10.whilst I will quite happily go back to the red lion again, I don’t think I’ll be doing it again for Christmas or New Year, unless they say that they will limit the table sizes."

"After driving past this restaurant on numerous occasions and seeing it was busy most of the time, me and my partner decided to give it a go wish we hadn't of bothered! Walked into restaurant an could see they were fairly busy but was quickly shown to a table might as well of been sitting on the persons lap next to us how close the tables are! Had a look through the menu, ordered drinks and decided on bbq ribs was then told that they didn't have any, which is fine, I understand restaurants run out of things. So reordered a cowboy burger, and my partner had a rare sirloin steak. 45 minutes later, with empty glasses on the table and no sign of our food we seemed to of been forgotten about, not one waitress asked if we would like another drink no one would make eye contact or apologise about the wait. Another long 20 minutes after that our food arrived to the table and i was shocked to see the order was wrong! Bbq sauce was on the burger yet on the menu it states it should come with burger sauce on the side, waitress asked if we would like any sauce my partner asked for mayonnaise. I explained to the waitress that my order was wrong and she grabbed the plate back and took it back to the kitchen. 10 minutes later my food came back to the table (may I add my partner was half way through his meal and was slammed down infront of me.. Without any sauce at all (and without an apology! Explained to her again that the meal should be provided with burger sauce and she just turned and walked away. By this time i was angry with how we had been treated, and the fact we waited 1 hour 5 minutes for wrong food and had not been given an apology was astonishing! She then returned 5 minutes later with burger sauce asked us again if we would like any other sauce... My other half had asked for mayonnaise but had now finished his meal but she still brought 5 pots over the table.. Confusing I know! My partner really enjoyed his steak, said it was cooked just to how he liked it which I was glad about, my burger was good also when it was all right! Overall I won't be returning to this pub, there are many restaurants of this chain (2 for 1 around, and would rather go that extra mile as I know we'll have great food AND great service such as the Sax and Penny in Lichfield, which is always 100%! The waitress at The Crown looked as though she couldn't be bothered to be there, and made very little effort with us."
