As always The Red Lion in Southwold has served us delicious meals. We have eaten here for a number of years and it is our first choice when choosing a place to eat. The menu gives a wide variety of choices for meat, fish and also vegetarians. Generous portions and delicious flavours ensure you want to return again and again.... More

We met up with friends at the restaurant and could not believe how accommodating everyone was. The young girl was not enjoying her meal (it was just not to her taste as it was an adults type meal) and the waiter could not have done more helping her out. He organized her a kids meal without fuss. The bar staff... More

Fantastic in every way. I took my mum here for her birthday and so glad I did. Friendly staff, amazing food (although too much for me to eat) I definitely recommend the chicken in BBQ sauce very juicy perfectly cooked. I will certainly be back!

My husband and I popped in for a quick snack one lunchtime last week, May 2013. We just orderd a prawn sandwich between the two of us but oh.....really wish we'd ordered one each as it was so nice, just to die for! They were really busy on the day we went, but the food still came out quickly so... More

Visited here on May bank holiday Monday. Very busy but well worth the wait for food. Extensive menu, and other meals that we saw looked and smelt delicio0us. Can highly recommend the sausage and fried red onion baps with salad. Ten out of ten for good food and superb Adnams beer.

Very popular but managed to get a table - just - without a reservation on Good Friday evening. Food choice was really good and portions were enormous. Good friendly service.

We had a great time here on Saturday night. We hadn't booked but the Red Lion is a lot bigger than it looks - a real tardis - and we got a table for four in the new room at the back. It's a popular place and I'm not surprised. The food is well presented. The portions are good. It... More

Five of us visited Southwold on Easter Sunday and spent a very pleasant couple of hours in the Red Lion. All main meals were well received and the drinks all hit the spot. Friendly staff even though they were rushed off their feet, well done everyone, we look forward to returning when it's a bit warmer outside!.

My husband and I were on a day trip to southwold and found the Red Lion for somewhere to eat. The menu was fantastic with everything from sandwiches to light meals to full main meals. There was also the option for a well priced set menu. The meals were a great portion size and the staff were very helpful and... More

This is our favourite pub to eat in at Southwold, and has become a family favourite over the years. The staff are great, welcoming and friendly and we can also take our dog into the bar with us which is a bonus. The food is excellent, great choice and delicious. On our last visit we had the special 3 course... More
