I had not been to The Red Lion in a while and made definite plans when I saw them on this year’s HRW. Used to go quite often for happy hour when I worked in Greenway Plaza. I grabbed a friend who had never been and off we went! The HRW menu was a great representation of The Red Lion’s specialties. I chose the Vegetable Samosa to start (spicy afterburn!). My friend chose the Punjabi Egg Rolls, which were a definite winner. We both selected The Chicken Tikka for our main - excellent snd a very generous portion. To end our meal, I selected the Bread Pudding (no one does bread pudding like The Red Lion!). My friend chose the Apple Blackberry Crumble which she pronounced “scrumptious”. Of course, I had to have a couple of Blacksmiths to wash it all down. Great selection of draught beer served in Imperial pints, thank you very much! Service was very attentive, food was wonderful, love the pub ambiance. I need to start coming back here on a regular basis!
