Saturday evening dinner. A warm evening so sat outside in front of the pub. Excellent service, decent ale (Rebellion IPA) and good wine selection by bottle and glass. Reasonable menu but it's the specials that make the difference; not inexpensive but always good quality (mostly local) meat although a little light this particular evening on fresh fish.

We held a wake for my father at the Red Lion. Mary and Barney made planning the event stress free, so I was confident they would do a great job on the day. The buffet they put on was perfect for the day, and they made sure everything went smoothly. I am so happy we decided to hold the wake there, as they made us feel like it was our local. My Dad would have loved it. Thank you to all at the Red Lion, Coleshill, for looking after us.

Popped in on Sunday for a pint whilst on a walk around The Chilterns. Lovely looking pub with parking for a number of cars. Inside is very nice with an interesting bar top. Staff were friendly and a couple of real ales to choose from. Toilets clean although a little on the small side, which I would imagine is to be expected in older establishments. We didn't eat, but this very much looks like a pub that spends a lot of time on food as the food we did see looked impressive so Id imagine you'd need to book if you want food on busy days. Prices on the more costly side so maybe not a "session" pub, but certainly one to visit for a well kept pint in good surroundings.

The food and wine was fantastic and fresh and the staff, landlord and landlady were very friendly and helpful. However be prepared to spend a lot of money because it's rather expensive!

We had a fantastic evening at the Red Lion. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, the service was prompt yet relaxed, and the food was excellent. Parking was a bit tight, but there were plenty of spaces on the quiet road outside. We’ll definitely be returning for another dinner!

It was a wake, and they looked after us very well. Friendly staff, couldn't do enough for us, plenty of good buffet food for us too.

The Red Lion, discovered via Google search and subsequently booked, proved to be an excellent establishment. Upon arrival, we were greeted warmly and, despite arriving early, promptly seated after enjoying drinks at the bar. The food service was efficient, and the lamb dish, in particular, was exceptional, featuring generous portions and attractive presentation. We plan to return. Very soon

The Red lion Pub is a delightful escape that offers an unforgettable dining experience. From the moment I walked in, the cozy ambiance and friendly staff made me feel right at home. Now, let’s talk about the venison—it's simply the best I've ever had! Cooked to perfection, it was incredibly tender and bursting with rich flavor. The chef’s expertise shone through with a perfectly balanced seasoning that enhanced the meat's natural qualities. Paired with a luscious red wine reduction and seasonal root vegetables, each bite was a heavenly experience. If you’re looking for a charming country pub with outstanding venison, The Red lion is an absolute must-visit!

Just had a wonderful lunch at this beautiful little pub. Food was absolutely fantastic. I had the Partridge and my girlfriend had the pork belly. Both were delicious 😋. Both the lady that served us and the gentleman that brought our food were extremely friendly and overall the service was great. I would highly recommend this pub for lunch/dinner or just for a few drinks. The pub has a lovely cosy atmosphere and I will definitely be coming back!

Pleasant Sunday lunch in the garden. Roast lunch was ok - lukewarm and meat quite underdone. Roast potatoes quite soggy. Huge portions. Under seasoned. Adequate but not great.

Popped in for a pint on a seven mile walk. It is more gastro than pub, most people were there for Sunday lunch from an extensive menu, there's only a small bar area but the Timothy Taylor I had was excellent. Comfortable garden at the front on a sunny warm day, nicely busy but I easily got a seat. Overheard friendly and knowledgeable team serving others at the tables. I mark as 4 because a pint and some cashews cost £9 - very much London prices but I guess it's a wealthy area and it's more a restaurant than a local to hang out in. I'll come here for a meal one day.

This place is absolutely slept on! I’ve been coming to the UK for 25 years and I always seek out highly rated restaurants. I only managed to find it, as it’s somewhat remote, because it’s near my in-laws. If a food influencer ever somehow stumbled into this place you won’t be able to get a table, not sure if that’s a good thing. Still one of the most memorable places I’ve eaten in England.

Delicious food. All four of us highly satisfied with our meals. There was a large choice of options to pick from, with seasonal specials. There were a few errors with our order, which let it down a bit, but minor issues that were quickly sorted. Thank you.

This was the only venue I phoned to host a Wake for my late Mother that was really friendly and helpful. I went for one down from the best Buffet which included cold food such as Quiche & Sandwiches and hot food such as Chicken & Fish Goujons with Fries. Open bar. The owners & staff were very friendly and accomodating, especially Mary who took my initial call. Would have been 5 * but there was no information about food animal welfare apart from the meat being British. Would have been great had any Pork or Chicken products been at least higher welfare (but short of Free Range although that of course would be perfect). Thanks for your response (editing my review appears to be the only way of coming back to you on Google). I'm very pleased to hear that your Lamb & Pork are Free Range from a very local farm. I tend to think of Beef as being not intensely reared in this country (like Lamb) so that leaves Chicken and Eggs. It would be much appreciated if you could work towards using e.g. only Red Tractor or similar approved Chicken & Eggs. You could then mention animal welfare on your website and discreetly on the Menu.
