The Red Lion East Haddon - Northampton

We always choose to go to The Red Lion for family special occasions. Consistently good delicious food and friendly service. Highly recommend.

As an old customer from some years ago it is disappointing that the dress code is too informal for my liking. It really didn’t have any atmosphere however the food was very good. A bit pointless asking on the website if it was for an occasion and being told it was a birthday- it was not mentioned so why ask.

The Sunday roast beef was really excellent, but they might want to cook some beef beforehand to take. side joking, everything on the plate was superb, but a piece of paper-thin bark was simply not enough, it was absolutely delicious, but I could not help a bit torn off.

All main dishes pretty good, including roasts. service very helpful and friendly. puddings not great.

Had a meal at The Red Lion …Saturday night only two tables being used the whole evening …staff friendly but slow …ordered our main meals …the Caesar Salad £14) a bowl of lettuce and grated cheese …no bacon no garlic croutons no anchovy and no avocado…got a small piece of chicken at an extra £2.50…the bacon arrived after we pointed this out to the waitress but nothing else obviously crotons too difficult for the chef ! Massaman Curry was nice …my husband ordered the pie of the day with chips …he got new potatoes ! Not a problem but not good service There was a man walking around talking to the staff we assumed he was the manager …at no point did he come to apologise or explain why the chef didn’t know how to put together the Caesar Salad on the menu? There were five people eating there on a Saturday night and three of those were us …I guess that should have been a warning ! They took the Caesar Salad off the bill and our daughter received a complementary bottle of water …we only found that out by looking at the bill …no one acknowledged the poor service we received …had the manager been more professional he should have spoken to us directly
