Red Lion Hotel by Greene King Inns

There are several wonderful circular walks around this attractive North Oxfordshire village of Adderbury so it is important to find a decent place for lunch at the end of it. The Red Lion overlooking the village green was an ideal spot to fulfill our needs. A warm welcome from the reception desk (they do rooms too) and also the very helpful and cheerful head waiter who looked after us. There were several choices of menu including a set three course meal for just £12 - unbelievable value and ideal for folks on a tight budget - and there were several choices for each course. The price was a couple of pounds less for two courses. We however plumped for the full lunch menu where outstanding items were the plant based meatballs, chicken snitzel and the prawn risotto. The chicken strips and the mini camembert proved popular too with members of our party. Their sauvignon blanc was terrific.

Very very poor service - it was busy but we did not expect to wait over an hour for our food - our drinks were not what we ordered we asked for no ice but got ice coke was flat asked for a larger top and got a shandy staff had not got a clue bar was not clear if dirty glasses and only two serving when I said you were understaffed I was told it was the manager that sets the rota?! Not my Problem - won’t be back

We visited the red lion as a stop off for lunch on the way to Oxford. It is everything you would expect from a country village pub. The welcome was inviting and the food was amazing, would definitely recommend the Sunday lunch and the apple crumble. Great visit and very attentive staff

I have been before

We stayed here on a Saturday night following a wedding nearby. They were very accommodating letting us check in to the room early which was great. The room was clean and comfortable with a little noise but that's to be expected with an old building. The breakfast was cooked to order and good. The cost was £132 including breakfast which was optional (it was £108 room only).

We stopped for lunch today at The Red Lion - the poor weather and miserable day was instantly lifted by the warm welcome from the young lady behind the bar who quickly directed us to a table close to a roaring fire. An impromptu stop after a late breakfast we didn’t want a huge meal so the selection of menus was perfect, as well as daily specials and full menu there was a fantastic value for money two or three course light menu which we all selected from - the food was fantastic quality delivered promptly, three people with drinks two courses and coffee for less than £50! Can’t recommend highly enough.
