sierraman Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 You couild always go to The Red Lion at Litton if you prefer. I used to like the Red Lion at Litton when Michelle and the late Terry kept it. The place had real character. When the new people took over a couple of years ago, its all rustic chips and timbale's of rice. A lot of the atmosphere has gone out of the place now!

Guest makapaka Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Hi Can you just turn up at the Maynard for sunday dinner or do you have to pre-book. More to the point do they still do sundat dinner as on the website the menu seems more like a restaurant menu. thanks for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is an old quote, but got to disagree with the feeling that the Red Lion is not what is used to be. The new owners (well they have been there now for a couple of years) have kept everything that was great about the pub and made a lot of other aspects much better IMHO. It's picture postcard pretty, does good food and is still a great locals drinking hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norton1 Posted April 24, 2010 Share Posted April 24, 2010 We used the Maynard for my son's Christening in November which meant we fully booked the restaurant. The food was excellent, the service exemplary and I could not recommend it enough. Kate organised it all for us and was very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ringotheowl Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 We looked at this place about 3 years ago for our wedding reception. Decided against it as we waited about 40 minutes for a sandwich when there was only us in the bar. The sandwich was nice and the menu looked good, just really bad service.

Lou_Lou Posted October 31, 2010 Share Posted October 31, 2010 The food is fantastic but the service is appauling. They just abandon you once you're sat down, one of our party was choking and there was no one to ask for water, no one checked how our meal was whilst we were eating and they left our empty dinner plates in front over us for over 30 mins whilst they had a chat over by the kitchen then they took our dessert order 30 minutes later. It was really disappointing as it was a special occasion. Someone needs to retrain the staff because this place could be excellent but they let it down. It's the 4th time we've been in and it's always like this. If the food wasn't so nice we'd have no reason to go back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
