Red Lion Babcary - Speisekarte

We love The Red Lion and it’s a delightful place to sit outside on a sunny day. We always have wonderful food here and the staff are always very pleasant and welcoming. We’ve ate here twice in the past week as we enjoy it that much.

Gorgeous pub with garden in obviously moneyed area of Somerset . Friendly attentive staff and a superb burger and fries preceded by Ham Hock terrine with pea purée. Menu well constructed with especially enticing deserts . Sitting in the garden having lunch was a beautiful experience. Largish car park. Will go again .

Firstly, I will start by saying they need to employ a cleaner…or perhaps a new one. The bathrooms are disgustingly filthy. The tables are more sticky than super glue. Had to ask 3 times for more drinks, my wine glass had something in it and a cobweb on top! How? Food was just greasy and we left feeling sad, deflated and sick. Speisekarte ansehen

I recently enjoyed a delicious meal at this pub. The staff were friendly, professional, and very helpful. The atmosphere of the pub was warm and welcoming - I could have stayed there all night. We brought our dog along and they even took a photo of him to put up on their wall of fame, which I thought was a lovely touch. I will definitely be returning in the future!

We visited the Red Lion on two occassions in a 2 week spell. Once for Sunday lunch with friends and once for an eveing meal with family. The lunch was excellent and was the reason for booking a table of 6 for an evening meal on a Monday...big mistake. The table I reserved in the restaurant for the evening meal, was changed to a small bar table (as the restaurant room was not in use) and the service was extremely slow, one of the starters didnt arrive, the waitress was new and totally overwelmed. I know that dining out on a Monday can be problematic but this was treadful and such a contrast to the Sunday lunch serving.

The food at this restaurant was good, but unfortunately, our experience was marred by the extremely unhappy bartender who greeted us when we arrived. He not only seated us but also served us for the entire duration of our visit. I would strongly recommend that he find a different career, as he lacks hospitality skills. Additionally, he even asked us to settle the bill quickly so he could have his lunch. The service was consistently poor from beginning to end, and considering the high service charge on the bill, I suggest reevaluating your staff. It's a shame, as this one person really brought down an otherwise enjoyable experience. Speisekarte ansehen

Having been before our expectations were high but when we arrived we were disappointed. First thing we noticed was a lack of people at the bar, well there was no people at the bar. We was shown to our table promptly, The waitress took out drink and food orders and it was noticed that the place had little or no ambience, the table was sticky and there was something stuck under the table. When our food arrived my meal was missing a Yorkshire which was quickly remedied. The pork was cooked very well and potatoes nice and crispy but sadly the parsnip was overcooked as was the carrot. Not of the same quality as we expected. Sadly we will not be returning.

We came on the Bank Holiday Monday so the pub was understandably busy. As a result, food did take a while to arrive. I had specifically asked for a starter as a main course and was told that wasn’t an issue by the manager and the waitress. In spite of this, it came as a starter! I mentioned this to the waitress who just shrugged. There was no attempt to apologise or remedy the situation. As we’d already waited for a long time for food and my daughter and mother had their food already, I didn’t want to wait another 30 minutes. Strangely the waitress also insisted on taking away our side plates and napkins before eating. The food I had was good. The waitress was very unhelpful!

I have been coming to this restaurant for many years, but my recent impromptu visit was a disappointment. We were seated quickly, but then chaos ensued as other couples were seated and orders were taken before ours. After waiting for at least 50 minutes, our side orders arrived and promptly disappeared when they realized our mains had not been cooked. We waited another 20 minutes before our food finally arrived. The lamb chop I ordered was disappointing for the price of £28 with no sides. My mother's pork tenderloin was overcooked and not tender. Despite the long wait and subpar food, there was no apology or acknowledgement of the situation. Unfortunately, I will not be returning to this res... Speisekarte ansehen
