Spent a stressful week camping at the local campsite as we were visiting a relative at the Royal Papworth hospital. The Red Lion was a fantastic place to go and de-stress. Very warm welcome, nice selection of beers. Tasty home cooked food at a reasonable price. And dog friendly. As for the group of 'loud men' at the bar, well they were friendly and just relaxing after a hard day's work. No problem at all. I can think of many pubs that would be envious of having a regular and loyal local custom like that. Well done to all at The Red Lion.

Today we booked a table for a Sunday roast to meet with a group of friends we haven't seen in a while and have a lovely family day together with our children. That did not happen at all. When we were ordering the food at the bar a group of old men made racist comments while we were queuing to order. It was loud and clear for everyone to hear and no staff challenged it, they even laughed. One of the 2 year old children that was with us was upset and crying as she was tired. We tried to calm her down and even took her home so we wouldn't disturb anyone else and asked if their meals could be put in a takeaway container. We heard a staff saying:" I don't know why these people bring their children to the pub." What was supposed to be a lovely Sunday family lunch, turned into a nightmare that ended up with a mom in tears. The indoor and outdoor space were lovely, food was good. All the rest was just one big horrible experience. A shame, since the place has so much potential.

I never felt so unwelcome in a place like this before... despite of a reasonable food, when I was ordering my food, I felt a xenophobic environment where some costumers made some not very nice comments to us. Now a days this cannot happen! It's a shame and can hurt this pub reputation! I also saw the a bar staff having a conversation saying that why the costumers bring their children into this pub. If this doesn't change more reviews like this one will happen! Thank you

We stopped in for some lunch today after Googling somewhere to go. Menu seemed decent and pub looked nice from website. The pub was empty baring a group of loud older gentleman crowding the bar drinking pints talking very loudly. Gave my partner and I an unwelcoming look up and down as we entered. Didn’t feel very warm and welcoming. -No one greeted us, had to find a staff member who were mainly outside cleaning baring one behind the bar. To ask if we just sat and ordered at the bar. -My partner ordered at the bar as I didn’t feel comfortable doing so with the crowd of men around it. -Waited 30mins for 2 sandwiches and chips plus some garlic bread. -Awful loud music playing the in dining area, smell of smoke old and new. -Food arrived wasn’t the best, waitress just said here’s two sandwiches. -Wasn’t relaxing and enjoyable. We left pretty sharpish - didn’t bother eating one of the sandwiches. My partner through hunger ate his, I nibbled chips. Have included photo - this is after I had picked through to see how badly it had been put together/what the cooked filling was like. Seems no effort or love was put into serving it & all for £27! With 2 cokes and the sides. Doubtful we would want to come back, sad as it seems like a nice pub.

We stayed overnight in our campervan in the car park having booked a meal and reserved a spot a couple of days earlier. Very friendly staff. Excellent Thai food. Walkable into Cambridge and also on a bus route. Recommended. Glad we got in while we did as the place is closing temporarily for a refurb which will only make it more appealing for a future return visit.
