The Red Lion - Oxford

Lovely friendly atmosphere,great meal,good Service

It's a nice pub/restaurant but the service was a bit patchy! We kept getting forgotten about and had several people serving us. No one came to take our order, I had to ask, another waiter asked if wanted the pudding menu but then he didn't bring it etc. Our lunch took almost three hours, which was fine as my friend and I were catching up but was still a bit annoying. The food was nicely presented and tasted nice. Overall, 6.5/7 out of 10 on this occasion.

Food was lovely, and the staff were fantastic as well.

Went Friday evening with 3 friends, have been before and thought the overall experience was OK for this kind of city centre restaurant. On this occasion the table was cramped, service was average and my food was terrible. Had crab, prawn and chorizo linguine which was truly awful. Pasta overcooked, sauce flavourless and no crab whatsoever. Maybe we were just unlucky but i do not intend to return.

The restaurant was so cold that we almost had to leave. Service was s bit inattentive.

We had an enjoyable lunch. The crumble was delicious and the custard good. Best to avoid the apple sauce with the roast pork, but otherwise that and the crackling was excellent. Service was a little slow but it was a Sunday. We intend to go again.

Nice busy atmosphere but not too loud, good staff and simple yummy food - will go again.

We had a friendly welcome,and found a table by the window.selecting a sharing platter for the four of us, then pork/salmon/beerbattered fish/and vegetarian meal. All came promptly and was delicious. The restaurant was not air conditioned,so slightly warm on the sunny day.
One unfortunately LARGE minus point.......the ladies and gents toilets were not hygiene friendly,dirty floor,smelly and badly needed refurbishing. A poor reflection of the restaurants standard.

We had a fantastic time! Terrific staff and a great menu.

we had lunch @ the Red Lion on a very busy Sunday,yet we were attended almost "pronto" as we set down. My friend and I chose a pizza plus a sticky duck salad,food that normally we keep away from! How pleasantly surprised we were when we dug into the pizza! Very thin crust and a lovely top.The duck salad was indeed very sticky and both dishes superb'.For drink I had the best iced tea I ever tasted (would like the recepie from Red Lion!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
