The Red Lion, Crick.

Atmosphere - Lovely informal atmosphere, it seems to be obviously a family run pub and this came across in the friendly nature of the staff.

9/10

Service - Although the menu was a little confusing, the meals were served very quickly and the staff very attentive throughout.

8/10

Food - Authentic Home Cooked English Fayre, mine was beautiful. Mum was not so impressed by hers but it was exactly what it said on the menu, she thinks she just ordered the wrong thing! Someone on a table nearby ordered the Plaice and chips which looked amazing!

10/10

Value - Extremely good value, the price was £5 for any of the lunch items on the menu. They also did sandwiches and snacks for reasonable prices.

We get to eat out in more lovely establishments ... roll on the next lunch ... please feel free to recommend anywhere that you would like us to try.
