Whilst staying in the area we booked in here on a Sunday afternoon for lunch and what a great afternoon we had! It was quiet when we arrived and the staff let us choose the chanel so we could watch the rugby. Our roast dinners were brought out to us delicious, piping hot, plentiful and served by friendly staff. We would even go as far as saying that it was possibly the best pub roast dinner we have ever had! It was also very reasonably priced.
The pub started to fill up and we ended up having a great laugh with some of the locals who were really friendly and made us feel really welcome. We didn't have much of an expectation when we arrived, however we had a really lovely afternoon with delicious food, beer and wine and great company. We will definitely go back here if we are ever in the area again!

Lovely local friendly pub giving tips where to visit. Nice beer garden which we were lucky to use during our visit. We didn't eat there so can't comment but did see several Sunday lunches and it was obviously all fresh veg

We were staying in a yurt nearby. We called in Friday night on the off-chance they could fit us in for dinner. I had the steak and ale pie. We went back on the Saturday and had the same again it was that good. Brilliant, competent bar and waiting on staff.

As we live locally we have frequented this pub many times especially for Sunday dinner and it had always been amazing food and atmosphere. However, We went tonight and the owner was less than welcoming scowling at the children and using explicit language to which we felt the need to leave before ordering drinks and food. I apologised for attending with excitable children to which the owner said it was probably best and safer that we did so as they had a darts tournament on. We went across the road to the black lion which was a lovely family friendly place. Unfortunately thw red is no longer a family friendly place an I highly recommend the black. We were out celebrating and had we of not been in high spirits this experience could of been a bit of a dampener on the night as the scowls and language used was awfully inappropriate especially when aimed at young children... CAN HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE CANN OFFICE FOR SUNDAY LUNCH AND THE BLACK LION FOR OUTSTANDING FAMILY FRIENDLY FOOD AND DRINKS.

Excellent!!! Can't recommend it enough! Great home cooked food.
I had the steak and ale pie, light flaky pastry full of large tender chunks of beef in a lovely gravy. Sister had the Cottage Pie, beefy, plenty of meat.
The portions are piping hot and HUGE!

Arrived without booking and friendly barman explained where we could sit and we chose to go in the beer garden. The locals were very welcoming and our food was delicious, I had veggie lasagne and husband had the pie which he said was lovely,
Wouldn't hesitate to return

Three of us having helped a mate tame his garden near Dolanog called at the Red Lion. Firstly, top kept and served beer (Three Tuns, Bishop’s Castle) and an excellent Guinness. Then, my goodness, the food!! The full size dinner plates were too small! Two of us enjoyed the pie with rich dark tasty gravy, loads of meat and lighter than air pastry topping, plus mashed potatoes and a giant helping o f chips and green vegs. Incredible portions and sensible pricing (£10-12). Couldn’t resist a sticky toffe with ice cream. Chef came and had a chat, she makes all the food from scratch and there is plenty of choice. Lovely staff, great place all round, loads of locals in too. Go again? You betcha asap

I was in town for a couple of days. Visit the area fairly often. Red Lion did the job. Food and drink from 3pm. It's a very local pub: almost family atmosphere. Good portions and beer decent. Basically ask and the team will make it happen. Take it as you find it: it is a natural pub serving the community. No fancy fit out or restaurant styled food. It fits the local and basic visitor needs well. Decent beer garden. Staff make you very welcome, even if not from the town. Will return when next in town.

Supposedly a dog friendly place. The chef told me to shorten my dogs lead, fair enough, but then called my daughters therapy dog a rat on a rope then proceeded to mouth off to the locals about him. So rude. The bar staff are nice & food was ok but not fantastic. I wouldnt visit again.
