The Red Lion - Mid Devon

This restaurant is a fantastic discovery. It's a wonderful place to visit. As soon as you step inside, you can feel the charming ambiance. It's a truly authentic local spot at the center of the village. We're grateful for our stay here and the food was excellent.

This is a genuine 'village local ' inasmuch as it appears to be independently owned and operated. There are ancient rusted-on locals propping up the bar which was entertaining. Great atmosphere, plenty of choice in food and drink. Happy to return, or should that read ... HOPE to return.

Twelve of us had a very good value roast dinner and divine desserts. The service was great. Local village pubs have such a hard time of it, with changes in the way we live , eat, drink and entertain ourselves nowadays. It's great to go to one that is getting it right. Will revisit as soon as possible.

After a 4 hour walk in the area we went for lunch at the Red Lion. We both had sandwiches; cheese and pickle, and ham and pickle. Both came with home made chips and salad. Absolutely delicious. The landlady was most pleasant and attentive which is always appreciated. The bar area is dog friendly. The bar area has a great ambiance. We will definitely be visiting this place again.

We didn't expect much from a rurally pub as they have a captive audience, but we were pleasantly surprised.The landlady was very friendly and helpful and the food was wonderful. The salmon and chicken rilette incoming parfait were delicious. My partner enjoyed his food a lot, my lamb liver and bacon was a huge portion and perhaps a little overreacted, but the liver still delicious. We'd definitely come back if we stayed in the area.
