| As a pub the Red Lion in Caerleon, Newport is decent enough and situated in a quiet back street of the village away from the bustle of the centre. Three real ales are usually available and though the pint of Abbot I tasted on a recent visit was good, the pint of London Pride I had as well was slightly tart in flavour and far too cold. However, the Red Lion bills itself as a 'pub/restaurant' and, sadly, judging from the food I had there on the same visit they may be overreaching themselves to think they can serve restaurant quality meals. A curry I had was unspectacular and served with a very greasy poppadom - a pool of fat formed in the middle of it! - and my mother was served with what was billed as 'half a chicken' but seemingly it was the half that didn't contain any meat, not any edible meat as what little she could pick off was stringy and chewy. On complaining the waiting staff including the chef said there was nothing wrong with it (well, they would I suppose) from which I can only conclude that they have very low standards. We were offered a free sweet (usually £3-95) which we declined but only got a £2 reduction on the meal - work that one out. In short, overpriced, very under par food - it's a pub worth having a drink in but certainly not for dining out in.[Report for Removal] | Gerard Whyman Newport Gwent |
