| the worse sunday lunch we have ever had. to have 1 small slice of beef on a small plate with everything swimming in gravy is not acceptable. this is a beautiful village pub, and the food and service really should be better. [Report for Removal] | steve kettering northants |

| Went for a Fathers' day meal and were very disappointed. Thought we would try and support a local pub rather than chain, but this backfired. After waiting an hour for our main courses, I received pasta with peppers (which I can't stand!) and mushrooms, when I had ordered pasta with ham and mushrooms. When the waitress came to ask if everything was ok, I said it wasn't. She asked if I wanted anything else, but, thinking it would take another hour, I refused. We were not charged for my main course, and didn't bother with a dessert. However the bill still came to almost £50 for 3 main courses and two rounds of drinks. Will not bother to eat here again.[Report for Removal] | Karen Kettering Northants |

| booked a table for four,my elderly farther in laws eighty second birthday,on sunday 9th august for sunday lunch on 16tk august at 12.30.on arrival we noticed the staff all outside in the carpark smoking,on walking into the area designated for eating we noticed a party being organised with balloons all over the place.after a lenghty wait to be served i told the member of staff about our booked table,what time she asked,so i told her as she looked at the diary,she went wandering off with a "just a minute"only to return to tell us no booking had been made,after our protestations some one offered us a table in the corner of the bar that two people would struggle to eat at let alone four.no appology was made by them,no explaination just a shrug of the shoulder,obviously the party was more important and us ordinary people where discounted.i would not recomend eating there to anybody if that is how you treat customers.[Report for Removal] | phillip coe kettering northants |

| We visited yesterday with local friends for a Leisurely Lunch for four people.We were warmly welcomed and made to feel at home.The tables were nicely laid even if they had forgotten the serviettes.The menu had a good chpice of meals They arrived nicely presented and piping hot ,all very enjoyable, the same applied to the desserts.All the time the staff were very friendly and helpful and all four meals came to under £24.This had been a very pleasant occasion and will definitely visit again when we visit our friends.

| We looked forward to the new revised menu, having been somewhat limited for choice, and walked out after seeing the price for liver,bacon and mash £15.95!!! and lobster for 2 £68!!! and the menu was still limited. The management team are lovely people, and I have a feeling that both menu and prices are taken out of their hands. Shame, as its a lovely old place.

| After seeing an advertisement in the (In your vicinity) Wellingborough edition, and the glowing review, four of us decided we would like to try the place, so I booked a table. The ratings which had been given are not representative to reality.(ie) Food 9/10 Agree, Menu options 7/10 should be 5/10, Service 7/10 agree, Parking 9/10 agree, value for money 8/10 should be 5/10 When we arrived we were impressed by the eating area. however I was then advised by the greeter they did not have a booking in my name. Later on they found it had been put in the diary for the next day, but they found a table. We looked at the menu which we thought was very limited compared to other eating venues, and the prices seemed a bit steep. However we decided to have three starters one of the party did not want starter, 2 Melon etc in vermouth. These were several pieces of melon nicely presented on a plate £5.95 each (expensive)One of our party had a fishcake, once again nicely presented £6.50 (expensive).For the main meal we had 2 Sirloin steaks at £18.50 each (expensive)but really nice flavours, and cooked well, One roast saddle of lamb again (expensive) but very well cooked. one special of the day (Fish & chips)£11.25 pricing reasonable. However the drinks bill astounded me. Bacardi £2.15(OK) Pepsi(£1.90)(OK)3 mixers at £1.30(OK) Adnams Broadside £2.85(OK) Carling lager £2.80(OK) but then came the rip off my wife had two of the mixers this being a Tomato juice and Worcester sauce. Would you believe it I was charged for (2 DASH's) of Worcester sauce at £0.45 a dash, which my wife said she could not taste it in her drinks. I made my thoughts known to the waitress she basically said nothing, but I could see she agreed with me. The overall bill came to £100.00 rather expensive night out for a local pub. We could not fault the quality of the food, or the service, but we certainly will not be returning at those prices. By the way I am not someone who regularly complains but the (Worcester sauce) made me angry, hence this review. Peter[Report for Removal] | Peter Bradbury Wellingborough Northants |

| Nice pub in a nice setting. Menu sounds promising but when food arrived was very dissappointing and bland tasting.[Report for Removal] | Dolly KETTERING NORTHAMPTONSHIRE |

| Very disappointed to find the original landlords Mr and Mrs Peel had left just under 12 months ago - the red lion had lost its character and been turned into a wine bar looking inn - the locals were no where to be seen the barman a south african chap was rude and unhelpful and the beer was luke warm and cloudy! Very disappointing.[Report for Removal] | edward hambry Penzance cornwall |
