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

We had a meal here on the 17th August, its a Pub in a lovely location and we were really looking forward to it. Ordered three Fish and Chip Meals for the family. 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

Earlier in the year, we tried to book rooms here (there were nine of us) but were told the hotel was "being up-dated" and there was no accomodation available. Fair enough but as we were doing some research at the Avebury henges we decided to dine there on the Friday evening - brilliant! The service was first-class and the food... More

My husband and I were in Avebury for the day on Sat 21 May 2011. We had heard the Red Lion was under new management, so decided to give it another try for lunch. We had been there a few years ago, and can totally echo the disastrous experiences of other reviewers, so we didn't know what to expect this... More

Time from order to arrival of food for 3 people's meal - random. No consistency of what would arrive when. Dishes missed off, and for others in our party entire courses missed. Egregious lack of apology for poor service. Disgraceful toilets. Sticky, dirty table. Truly a place to avoid. It clearly relies on being in a sought after tourist location,... More

After years of regular visiting Avebury, we've seen the good and the bad, Definate improvement since change of management this summer 2010. The Red Lion gets a lot of bad press but you can't beat the location. The current staff are great and the food is up to expectation for pub meals - in fact, on occasion excels (but depends... More
