- LLinda03/04/2023Wedding GuestsWedding GuestsWe wanted to thank everyone involved in Rachel and Derek's wedding on Saturday, from two impressed guests. We had the best day celebrating with them, the atmosphere was spot on. As for the food, just stunning. You did everything wonderfully and should be proud of all who contributed to achieve this.

- LLucy Parcs03/04/2023WeddingWeddingWe held our wedding at the Red Lion this weekend and it was just perfect. From initial discussions with Matt, the manager, through to exceptional customer service on the day, the team at the Red Lion could not have done more. Organisation was spot-on, communication was great, the catering was beyond expectations - down to three stunning profiterole towers, at our request - and our room had many personal touches that made us feel special and so welcome.
