The Red Lion - York

A chance stop whilst checking out Burnsall on a drive in smart car as we were on a short break in the motor home. Burnsall is a beautiful village and this pub has plenty of character to meet the Dickensian brief. We had bar food...of steak and ale pie and a vegan burger. A couple of cocktails. Very dog friendly which was great. Welcoming bar staff and a friendly atmosphere. Food was good and we enjoyed the experience.

What a disappointment Visited 18th September for Sunday lunch but wish I'd read the reviews on here first. The portion size was tiny, more for a child. The roast potatoes had been reheated, they were hard and dry and very hard to cut. The...veg selection was really poor, a couple of carrots and parsnip and a tiny bit of kale. No mash!!! The meat was practically non existent too! Definitely would not recommend and will not be having a return visit.

Utterly a total Rip Off the most expensive pint of local beer outside London,and not that good either. Maybe it 's Thwaite Tax because soft drinks also far more than anywhere else in the area. I noticed some poor old chap at the bar frantically looking...for more extra cash to buy two cups of tea at £5.80. So can 't imagine how much and how poor the food must be. Pity this pub/hotel was decent years ago.

We deliberately decided to take a break. we arrived, a porter was available to bring our luggage to our room. enormous room, great view of the bridge, river the green. our dinner was booked on time and with good humor. in the did was the...whole time we spent in the red lion with log fans, always very good from early morning to late evening. we can't wait to go back, maybe in one of the huts next time, due to my difficultness to get. personal management, lyndsey in particular, would no longer have done for us during our stay. hasta la vista folks.

After a walk along the beautiful river, we drove for the pub when it began to rain. it was after 2 o'clock so we only expected to get drinks, not food. the young lady who welcomed us offered us a place at the fire to dream and tell us that eating is served. we had a really good lunch, a great service and a friendly reception. thanks to the entire team for everything
