The Kirtling Red Lion

We had a great evening, good food (starters, pies and cheeseboard) and Sue and John were great hosts. Highly recommend!

A group of 12 of us booked a 'Pie Pint ' evening at The Red Lion. I 've been to this pub with family and friends before and it just keeps getting better. Fantastic hospitality from John Suzanne who made us all feel so welcome. Food was excellent, with a fabulous and varied menu. The waiter who served us all was very attentive and professional too! I 'd highly recommend this pub for it 's great choice of food and ales. My favourites: Butterfly King Prawns; Steak Ale Pie and the Sticky Toffee Pudding the best in the area by far!

We stopped here for lunch with our dog part way through a long walk. We had booked a table and were warmly welcomed. The pub is all very clean, the dog was given water and a biscuit, and we had a delicious lunch. The menu is classic pub food. I had scampi, chips and peas; my husband had ham, eggs and chips. The chips were particularly good very crispy and sizzling hot. It's a great place to stop on a walk.

My partner and I sat outside to have lunch. The food tasted great (we had scampi and chips and the cheese ploughmans , it was a good price and good portion sizes. The staff were very friendly, there was plenty of outdoor seating and the toilets were really clean. We would definitely recommend this place :

Booked for the French night, always a warm and very friendly welcome from Sue and John. What a fantastic French menu, we chose two different but exceptional starters followed by a wonderful porcini pork tenderloin with dauphinoise potatoes and a lovely French dressed salad. The whole evening was brilliant and enjoyable. These little gems of village pubs need to be used and enjoyed because once they go you lose the heart of the village. Even in these hard times give them a try.
