“Shambolic service, find somewhere else”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 March 2011
1
person found this review helpful

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, knowing that it will only get any set of customers once. Tragic waste of an opportunity.

“It's getting better, don't give up”

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 who is on duty in the kitchen). Hang on in there, enjoy the atmosphere!

“Microwave food at oven prices...”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 June 2010

After receiving a frosty welcome and little communication our nuclear-blasted food covered with soggy vegetation to conceal the monstrosity beneath arrived suspiciously quickly. Three minutes later, after talking to the dirty-handed manageress, who didn't give us cream with our hot chocolates because 'it was summer not winter' blundered her way through a card refund, and we left, utterly disgusted with the pre-cooked microwave slop they tried to pass off as a meal. Wonderful location, this is a second rate Little Chef in gastro-pub clothing.
