First time visit. Good varied menu on offer with plenty to choose from. Food was excellent. Can recommend the gammon egg and chips. Rhubarb crumble and custard was the best I'd ever eaten. Service was faultless. Excellent value for money. Would recommend without hesitation

I have been twice in the last month with friends and relatives. I really like the food it is home made, and home reared where possible on the local farm. It is fresh and certainly a couple of steps above most pub food. The atmosphere is light and easy. The bar staff and the restaurant staff are extremely engaging and... More

I've been waiting to review this pub since we visited last year (it wasn't on Tripadvisor then). As a customer of their farm-shop down the road, we booked in a weekday evening. We were the only people eating and to be fair it was late on. We just wanted something simple, so all 3 of us ordered the home beer... More

We are sorry for the problem with your meals. We have in the past had problems with fish and chips which have now been rectified. We hope that you come down and try the new improved recipe which we have now got a lot of regular customers enjoying. Thank you for your feed back. Ben Aveling The Old Red Lion More

Enjoyed a fantastic meal here with my family for my birthday. The menu is mainly traditional pub grub made with quality local ingredients and everything we had was delicious, from the complementary home made olive bread to the scrummy lemon drizzle cake. I was particularly impressed with the beef, mushroom and red wine pie, made with lovely light short crust... More

We have just held our wedding reception in the pub, for a small reception it is a really good venue. The staff did us proud and we understand it was their 1st wedding! The food was good, service excellent, the staff were very attentive and friendly. Their home made bread is to die for! All the food is freshly cooked... More

Despite living fairly close by, we only visited for the first time in March 2013. Although mid-week, it was reasonably busy with one party of seven and three smaller tables for four occupied. Given its high ceiling, the restaurant nevertheless feels warm and somehow cosy despite its size, with tables given sufficient space apart to preserve privacy. The extensive menu... More

Went for my Wife's Birthday with the extended family. Staff were very welcoming and got our drinks order in straight away. Great selection of ales. Food was fantastic. You can tell from the taste that it is prime local produce. They were especially accommodating to a couple of our party who were an hour late, getting them food and drink... More

I visited the Old Red Lion in Litchborough in February 2013 and had a wonderful meal with my family. All of the staff were friendly welcoming and an excellent service. It was clear to see and taste that all of the food is home-made. The chips are as chips should be and excellent portion sizes even my husband was pleased... More
