  We had high hopes for this after it was featured in Great Food Magazine: Certainly the wine selection looks incredible. However, the whole experience was a bit disappointing.
  The good things, though: The menu was interesting, with plenty of food-themed events throughout the year. The black pudding was moist, the garlic in the roast potatoes was a nice touch, the meals were presented nicely and the pub is clearly well-loved by the locals.
  All that said, quite a few things could be improved... The Thai fishcake starter & vegetable curry main could both have done with a *lot* more spice. The vegetable curry was the only vegetarian option: We'd've liked to have seen more inventiveness and seasonality.
  Although there were more options for meat-eaters, my medium-rare steak was nearer to well-done.
  The real ale wasn't well-kept: The first pint of Landlord was a bit vinegary, and a change of barrel only improved matters slightly.
  The service was so-so. It was 50 minutes from sitting down to receiving our starters. This was probably because we were initially offered (and chose) an item that was not available. In that time, the next table had both their starters and mains.
  In summary, although there are some good things about the Red Lion, they're not enough to justify the effort to return. That's a shame, as we really wanted to like it.
