The Red Lion Hotel

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.

The Red Lion its got open bar so dont need to be staying hotel to relax and have beverage. Got some history of open band festival where none other than Jimmy Hendrix came to play and stayed in the hotel.

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!

Stayed at Red lion spalding last night. Lovely well kept hotel with immaculate cleaning services throughout hotel and rooms. Staff are welcoming as well as a fantastic welcoming customer base. Friendly welcoming great relaxed casual atmosphere. We stayed in room 21, excellent size, twin very comfy beds clean fresh room. Dog friendly which we love and carpets hygiene of hotel exceptional.

Just want to say parking is a few yards away I don't have any faults with the Red lion, I definitely stay again.excellent service, hotel is identical to how it is listed on booking.com and other Web pages. Thankyou we will be back to your little town. Sam and Jerry.

Fabulous Sunday lunch. Beautifully cooked and presented - if you have not tried the Red Lion recently would highly recommend it - if I had to be critical and this is really nit picking I would have preferred a slightly smaller portion of sticky toffee pudding and larger portion of ice cream - both were delicious though

Fantastic Sunday lunch even though we were late in the afternoon arriving. Onion soup with cider and sourdough crouton and dambuster cheese - brilliant. Great main course with great potatoes and perfectly cooked veg. Going again soon.

It was my first time here so can only comment on one day's lunch. We all had the open sandwich fish coujons on foccacia bread with a side of chips and buttered vegetables. It was all very nice except some of the chantonay carrots looked bruised and unwashed although all pleasantly cooked. Staff were mostly friendly and polite. There was only us 3 in the restaurant part, which was nicely set out and clean.

Excellent Sunday lunch, friendly staff, great food and a good atmosphere. Reasonable price. Overall a lovely Sunday afternoon.

Food was terrific. Service was too slow as table wasn't set with ALL Cuttery so had to be added to with every course. Too long between main and veg so food was cold. Still enjoyed our evening.

Now it's been sympathetically updated and fresher and now does quality food as well there is no better place in town

It was excellent as always, the staff was really nice (as always). Dirty towel but I told the cleaner and she was really nice about it and she got me a clean one. Didn't get a double bed room like I wanted but it was a still brilliant night

Enjoyed a lovely coffee with hubs and a toasted currant tea cake. And the sun came out for us. Lovely waitress. Clean and friendly inside but we sat outside.

From the moment we arrived we were met with a welcome. Very friendly and pleasant staff, who went the extra mile to make our stay perfect. Rooms clean and tidy, with good beds and bathroom facilities. Would definitely stay again. First class Definitely dog friendly.

Really friendly staff, the room was really big also had an amazing private balcony great location lot's of shops around plus a pub downstairs
