RECENT REVIEWS (Restaurant & B&B)

We tried the Red Lion out for a ‘Sunday Lunch’. The Red Lion at Newbrough was an excellent find on the old Stanegate road, what a marvellous chef! classically trained brilliant cheese soufflés, marvelous deserts (the panacotta was first class) and the Sunday lunch was among the best I have had, beef cooked to perfection! terrific yorkshire puddings and beautifully seasoned gravy. I thoroughly recommend the Red Lion and look forward to returning.

Testimonial #1 Designation

Autumn break in Pennines Four of us stayed this weekend for couple of nights. We arrived Friday teatime on motorbikes. Freezing cold and wet. First impressions were a very welcoming and warm bar area. Log fire burning. We were greeted by Sue the landlady. Made very welcome and show to our rooms. Radiators in room lovely and hot. Our stay was excellent. The rooms were clean and well presented. Lots of hot water for bath/shower. Pre booked a table both nights for an evening meal. The food was delicious and freshly prepared by our landlord Andy. Would highly recommend The Red Lion. We all agreed to return. Must also mention the breakfast. Good choice and delicious. Cooked by Sue. Yummy.
