Very welcoming and friendly. A little dated but to be expected from such an historic building. Jimmy Hendrix stayed here! Recommend if you don't want a Travelodge, impersonal, plastic experience. The local market setting up and early morning Hussle is part of the experience.

The Red Lion Hotel is somewhere I have not been to for many a year. Once upon a time it was one of the places to drink in. So as I was staying with a friend in Spalding it was the ideal opportunity to check it out. The bar is good with ample seating both inside and out and the atmosphere excellent with a nice friendly feel to it. Prices a little more expensive than up near Leeds but acceptable all the same.
I was very pleased with the toilet facilities, clean and fresh smelling which to me makes a lot of difference. Didn't try the restaurant but with quite a few ppl in it was obviously popular. All in all I enjoyed my visit.

Probably the best pub in Spalding! Expect a pretty traditional setting, in the center of town, a older gentlemans daytime hide away, yet very multicultural in the evening and sun trap out the front when its sunny. From the expected beers, wines and shorts, to a rotation of quality ales and IPAs! The only downside is I've yet to find the time to eat here since they changed management and did a complete kitchen/menu revamp, because the food smell can occasionally waft through to the bar and smells awesome! The staff are "ok", if you like staff that have work here for years and will give you a bit of banter once they get to know you

Called in for some food with my wife and 3 year old son. Asked about gluten free options and was given menus and told to find a seat. As soon as we had paid for drinks we were told the kitchen was too busy to do us any food. Shocking

Booked a meal for four in the restaurant for Sat 12th March approx 6 weeks in advance. We arrived on time & was immediately told there would be a 25min wait after ordering, which we accepted. 30mins after arrival the waitress still hadn't taken our order so we called her over who said 'could we give her a few mins'. Another 15mins later we asked the waitress if we could order our food, who responded by saying ' the chef would kill me if a took on another order at the moment, sorry we are very busy could we wait a little longer'. 1 hour after arrival we left the restaurant without even ordering our food or seeing any staff member to say we were not waiting to be served any longer. Very poor customer service on the night & not even a courtesy phone call afterwards to apologize. Heard locally food good, shame restaurant never gave us the opportunity to taste it!
