I'm so surprised by all the bad reviews I feel it's only fair to redress the balance. Our group didn't stay here so I can't comment on accommodation but we ate here twice. We found the food menu to be a better than average choice compared to usual standard pub fare with reasonable prices, service was good and staff were... More

We had 'sunday lunch' today at the red lion. Terribly disappointing. The quality of the beef and pork was extremely poor and we were told when we asked for extra gravy that we would have to pay extra for it! The portions were small and service nothing to write home about. Nobody asked us if we enjoyed our meal, or... More

Considering this is in a place with a similar level of historical importance to Stonehenge, this Inn felt like it last enjoyed a bit of attention about as long ago as when the very historical site that surrounds it was created. The place is a great example of a business that seems keen to extract as much cash fom it's... More

I was so disappointed when I stayed at the Red Lion, Avebury. Having visited the area many times as I love the stone circle, I was very excited at the prospect of staying here. However, the room was damp, full of mould in the shower and the pillows felt odd. On closer inspection, there were 2 grubby, flat pillows in... More

We found nothing at fault at all with the Red Lion Inn. We were entertaining a guest with almost 'royal' standards. Although the Inn was busy, the food arrived promptly and was tasty. The service was friendly and with the wonderful weather, we were able to sit outside an soak in the scenery. We would not hesitate to return with... More

This pub is located in one of the most beautiful settings in the country. We ordered our meals and all arrived but 2, we waited and eventually asked the waitress where the other meals were. She went off to find out where they were. The manager then came over very aggressively and said we had all the meals we had... More

The Fish was full of bones, sticking in our children's throats! The Kids could not eat theirs. When i complained im afraid I was treated with contempt... More

A group of us decided to go for a day trip at Avebury and descended on the Red Lion for some food in the evening (around 6pm). When making the order - we were told that they were out of more than half the items on the menu (seeing that it is a Sunday, in summer, which is obviously peak... More

We recently went here for Sunday lunch... what a disappointment. Two slices of slimy pork belly (not roast pork as advertised) which your teeth bounced off, floury gravy, soggy yorkshire pud (?) and rock hard vegetables. No apple sauce 'not our fault, it hasn't been delivered'. The beer was well kept and the rushed off their feet staff tried their... More

Me and my family visited the Red Lion on Saturday 25th. We all found the experience to be a positve one and I'm really surprised at such a negative review for someone who visited the same night. We found the staff friendly, helpful and,although it was busy, able to find the time for a quick chat about the stones. Perhaps... More
