Red Lion Coaching Inn

This is a brilliant, traditional style pub where families are welcome.
There’s locals drinking at he bar as well as families and couples having lunch from the extensive menu. There’s everything from
Mussels to sizzling skillets, pies and grills.
Food here is all homemade and great value. Huge portions too. I had a mixed grill on my last visit which included steak, gammon, pork chop, lamb chop, sausage, black pudding, eggs, onion rings, Tomato, mushrooms, peas and their amazing homecut chips. £9.45. Bargain!
My Other half had a burger (again) where he could choose 3 toppings from a list. Also served with chips and was around £6.50.
Drinks are very reasonable and this place is a must if you’re nearby. It’s gaining a brilliant reputation and you’ll need to book at the weekend.

I like visiting Red Lion when i am in Ellesmere, this pub has a really relaxing family feel about it and it is in a nice location. Inside the pub isnt that big which means when it is busy it can get a little crowded but it dosent seem to matter as there is a good atmosphere. The food in there is pretty good and i think this is what draws people back time and time again. The menu is quite extensive and there is also a specials board which gets changed regularly. I recommend having any of the sizzlers for lunch, but beware, the portions are huge and you will be stuffed by the end of it! The prices are reasonable at around £12 for the sizzler. I would recommend ringing ahead for a table at weekend because it is a popular place and you may not be able to get a table, or have to wait for one. The staff are really friendly and make an effort to get to know their customers and chat with them. There is a small outside area with a few tables and benches. Highly recommend this pub for a relaxing Sunday afternoon.
