Recently stayed here for three nights, using it as a base for exploring the Cotswolds and Oxford. Very conveniently situated between Chipping Norton and Shipton-on-Stour. All the public areas and the rooms were kept scrupulously clean, and the service was excellent. We ate in one night; the food was superb, and the table sevice very good without being oppressive. It's... More

I visited this pub for the second time recently. (My son is lucky enough to work nearby, so this is his lunchtime 'local'.) I have to agree with some of the other comments below - I wish I, too, lived closer! The welcome was warm and friendly and the choice of wines and beers is very good. The decor is... More

Had a family lunch here on Easter Monday, 6 adults and 3 toddlers and it proved an excellent place to meet up. Fortunately we had booked as this restaurant is very popular. Staff are friendly and clearly very well trained. All our chosen meals were delicious, well cooked and well presented. Strongly recommend the steak pie with hooky ale, all... More

My wife and I were looking for somewhere to eat on Easter Sunday and with our usual haunts full I somehow happened across this place. The menu looked good and we managed to get in for 1415. The service was pretty much perfect apart from a lengthy delay from our order being placed to the starter arriving (I'd say around... More

All pubs should be like this one - expertly run with fantastic food, excellent service and great surroundings. The menu was enticing, using local ingredients and the food was really tasty and expertly cooked. Real ales included guest beer. The atmosphere was friendly and the service attentive without being in uour face. We shall be returning and staying on one... More

We are very lucky in that we live very near to the Red Lion. We have been there before and had a great time so when my mother came to stay it was an ideal place to take her for lunch. Good menu which is varied and covers most price points. Food was excellent. Service very good and attentive and... More

My mother, the hardest to please diner likely to visit, was treating 2 members of the family to lunch. She is almost local and almost a regular. Nuff said really. The Red Lion is 'just' a very good modern gastro- pub. Decor is more trad pub than modern pastels ( a refreshing change for this pint of ale drinker), lots... More

This was our second visit to the Red Lion. It is about a 20 minute drive from home so within our normal range for going out to lunch. The first visit was so good that we felt it deserved a second just to make sure it was not a fluke. Well we were certainly not dissapointed and I wonder looking... More

Approaching my 100th visit to the Red Lion at Long Compton over the past two years so feel well qualified to comment having seen the "best" and the "worst". For the "best" the accommodation has always been spotless, warm and very comfortable. The food consistently delivers high quality, is always delicious and offers fantastic variety even for such a frequent... More
