紅獅賓館(The Red Lion Inn)

Dinner at The Red Lion at Babcary has to be one of the best meals we’ve ever eaten and having been in the food industry for many years and eaten in restaurants all over, I think I qualify as a pretty good judge. We were given a warm welcome, the service was excellent and with sparkling glasses and a great log fire, what else could you want from a country pub?

The overall experience was good. Good is great and staff are lovely. However, the condition of the rooms was less than satisfactory. One of the booked rooms for our group had ripped, stained towels on offer for the bathroom… Another issue was with the shower in the couples room not having a way to only turn one shower head on, it just runs both at low pressure. The bathroom sink hot taps are almost unusable, being close to boiling. I very rarely leave poor reviews as I’m aware of their impact. But in all fairness and honesty, the Red Lion was actually the worst part of our weekend trip. The location was very close to our main event which was great, and once again, staff were lovely and food was decent quality, but I wouldn’t rebook the place.

We booked 1night stay on a Sunday, and booked dinner for 7.30, we enjoyed a drink in the afternoon in the garden, then found out the pub shuts from 4-6, would have been nice to have been told before trying to get another drink. We came down to the restaurant at about 6.30 to be told they had already run out of beef, also to order now before they run out anything else and ended up eating before 7.00, not the best experience although the room was spacious and comfortable.

It was a business trip, amazing food and comfy bed. General really clean rooms, no spiders!

We stopped past this pub my mother, and I on our way to our cottage as we walked through the door. The staff were very welcoming, polite and professional. The food was extremely tasty and reasonable in price, and The members of staff will very helpful when we were trying to locate the nearest amenities, thank you very much and we will definitely come back!

Stayed here for a weekend break and absolutely loved it. The room was extremely clean and homely. Would definitely recommend this hotel / pub and would definitely stay here again. The freshly made pizzas stole the show!

Beautiful location, quaint country pub and hotel. Pet friendly. We had a lovely room but very disappointed to find our shower was faulty. Couldn’t fault the food, we had a lovely dinner and breakfast and all the staff were lovely.

Exceptional food, lovely large room, really friendly service, fabulous building, will be going again!

Over night and dinner We only live 4 miles away but needed to take an away day from our pride and joy ( 11 year old son ) where we had organised sitter who we knew could cope. Wanted to be close in case…… However, what a find The rooms are cosy, warm and inviting Great bathroom, fresh milk and water But but but Dinner was sublime, understated excellence Great talent in the kitchen, o cheek ravioli with sliced sirloin, rare as you could want. Greens and a rich full gravy Puddings to die for and ripe cheese I met the owner when leaving and said one of the best meals I had eaten, up with Ramsey Not over expensive, A tremendous experience, many thanks
