    We have never eaten in the Red Lion before but decided to go there with my parents (who live locally) for a Friday lunch meal. The service was very good, the staff being both attentive and pleasant without being overpowering. The food was very good overall but only spoilt by serving up some chips which seemed to have been re-heated rather than freshly cooked. This was a disappointment and spoilt an otherwise excellent meal as the rest of the food was superb and it would not stop us returning as I am suere this was a one-off problem.

    Dropping in to The Red Lion at Newton on the off chance on a journey home from Norwich to Sheffield. The menu of fresh homecooked vegetables was a welcome change from the usual deep fried chips and burgers most pub food serve nowadays. The service was great and the food delicious. If we ever pass that way again we will certainly call in again.

    Arrived at The Red Lion on a busy weekend, wet and hungrey. After been informed that we should have booked first - we waited in the bar area for 15 minutes before the management confirmed that we could be accommodated.
    We purchased drinks, were shown to our table and within minutes were called to the carvery serving area. The meats on offer were cooked fresh and looked fantastic. The vegetables were vibrant and colourful, again all cooked freshly. An assortment of sauces and gravy, were too n o ...

    The atmosphere and food were excellent. I have eaten there several times before but this was the first time I'd had Sunday lunch - it certainly won't be the last! The quality of the meats on the carvery was superb as were the vegetables. As the person organising (for the first time) such a large party I was a little apprehensive as to how a.) the pub would cope and b.) how my friends would like it. There were no problems with either. 10 out of 10 for value for money: carvery was just under &p ...

    The Red Lion at Newton, Newton near Sleaford, is a very nice country pub with a wlcoming open fire in the winter months. The food is very good throughout the week and the sunday lunches are the best we've ever had in a pub. They are so tasty and you can help yourself to the vegetables. There is a pleasant outside eating area in the summer. The current landlord has worked hard to improve not only the food but also the surroundings in this once very popular pub that had sadly become rather shabby ...

    It is a nice pub in a sweet location, i would not go back, as i did not like the "in your face" service.

    I thought The Red Lion at Newton had gone downhill until the new owners took over with a lot of investment and a new chef it has really come back up to scratch.My husband and I now eat there regularly as they have different specials every week. They also do the best sunday lunch you can get in a pub for miles around.
