Red Lion

Popped in with the good lady for a break during a long drive. I used to call in here 40 years ago as a coach driver with a load for morning coffee. It was very welcoming and friendly then, and has not changed. Charlie was serving and he was great. No dimpled handles available ( fortunately I had my own ) but I had a pleasant pint, at a nice temperature and my wife had a white wine spritzer, which she enjoyed. Great atmosphere from the customers with humorous comments from all. We really enjoyed our visit.

We stayed at their campsite for three nights in august and our stay was absolutely lovely, close to the beach, monkey world and the military museum are both very close to the red lion, so there's plenty to keep the kids happy. We also had a couple of meals at the red lion and these were pretty good too, the staff are very helpful and friendly as well. This was are was our second visit this year and I'm pretty sure it won't be our last, fantastic place to be and we can't wait to go back.

We’ve just returned from 3 nights camping at The Red Lion. Absolutely brilliant location with lots to do within a short drive. Lovely pub, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Lizzie and her team were so helpful and friendly. The campsite was quiet and we felt safe allowing our daughter to mingle and socialise with other children staying. Would highly recommend!

Very clicky pub went in there for 1 night as it was the closest pub to where we was staying *after a long drive and were not familiar with the area* they rush you to finish your drink bang on 10pm but don't tell you that you have to leave them when they ask you to leave them or order them *when they want to close and we're unaware of closing time in that pub*yday we went back for a 2nd visit on way home only to get a quick drink *we was then sent to sit at a table and given menus *although we had eaten 3 hours before and not hungry again* then some1 saying if we're not eating can we move...ordered food just to stay seated and it was cold sauce on the chicken wings and charged £8 for a salad which had nothing but lettuce and cartons in a bowl...asked for a d9g treat as we left ours in car to which you get 1 bit stingy..won't be going back f8r food that's for sure and also because if your not a local it seems they don't want to be too nice...its rushing people to pay up,force them to a table and menu and shoved out the door - not the best

We camped for one night at the Red Lion and would highly recommend it. A lovely campsite would good facilities and lots of space and we really enjoyed our evening in the pub. Luckily we picked a Friday night with the pub quiz on, which despite being very mediocre at we really enjoyed. The food was delicious, the bar staff and owner were really friendly and there was a lovely atmosphere. We will definitely return!
