Just had our daughters 18th birthday here - Sunday Lunch for 20 people, couldn't have been better. We preordered, the food was delicious and arrived all at the same time and piping hot. There was a great selection of sides and desserts and was very good value. The service was exceptional, the dining area was light and airy and it had a great atmosphere. We were made to feel very welcome and would definitely recommend as a venue for a similar function or even just a meal.

This is a great pub for both eating and drinking, we have visited a few times and are always made very welcome by the owners. The staff are always very friendly and the service is good. We have eaten in the restaurant a number of times and last night had food from their takeaway menu. The food, eating in or taking away, is fantastic. You can tell they use quality ingredience and take pride in what they do. Highly recommended.

We visited The Red Lion Stanstead Abbotts yesterday, just on the off chance as we were passing. This was a Wednesday so the Wednesday Warmer menu was on offer. We had the Prawn Linguine - it was amazing! Full of flavour and perfectly cooked. The presentation was beautiful too. We were so impressed that we booked for today so we could try out the main menu as the choices we saw online looked delicious. We were not disappointed! We had the Duo of Lamb and the 8oz rump steak. Both cooked to perfection, with an array of flavours from the caramelised red onion mash, roasted shallot, red wine jus….we also indulged in desserts which were to die for!! This is not ‘pub grub’ this is restaurant quality food at a very reasonable price. The staff are warm and friendly. Highly recommend! We will definitely be returning.

We enjoyed a fantastic night at The Red Lion on Saturday night, great menu choice and the food was amazing, very tasty and good portion size, the staff were very attentive without being intrusive, we ordered a bottle of the house red wine which was really nice and the desserts were delicious. Highly recommended and reasonably priced. We will definitely book again.
