Matt, Owen and Connie gave us a great welcome. Owen alked us through the menu in detail. The BLT baguette had so much bacon it was great. The garlic mushrooms.on toast were delicious and wonderfully garlicky! The pub went from quiet to rowdy to pleasant. Matt dealt with the rowdy crowd realy well. All.in all q great evening.

Had a great dinner here with a group of friends when walking in the hills for the weekend. The food was some of the best I've tasted in a pub (no joke) and totally unexpected. Staff were all friendly and dealt with everything quickly. To top it off, I left my handbag there and they went over and above (with the help of another customer) to get it back to me. If you are walking in the hills for the weekend and want a fulfilling, tasty and unique menu - come here. You won't be disappointed.

What a wonderful pub, called in today as I heard food was being launched. What a meal! Kudos to the chef Owen, absolutely beautiful food homemade with lots of love! Ordered the lasagne and it was absolutely fantastic. Josh and Baron greeted us on arrival which was great. Thankyou for an amazing afternoon and I highly recommend the Brooklyn lager !

I found the Red Lion on a recent trip to Malvern. I got into the habit of having a couple of pints there each evening during my four day visit. Lovely old pub with a friendly owner who has recently taken over and was busy redecorating. Two very good cask ales on offer. Very friendly pub dog. Definitely worth a visit if ever in Malvern

Wow 😮 what a hidden gem, happened to stumble on this place today & it did not disappoint. The Fantastic welcome we received right from the word go to the great prices across the board. If you are local or maybe taking a walk up the hills ? Be sure to drop in for refreshments. Glad we found it and we will certainly be back. Keep up the good work.

Very nice bathrooms, outside sitting area to front very nice too, food just awful sadly. Only rolls on offer, which was a shame but we went with it. My daughter's originally was just a day old dry bun with one slice of cheese, they did at least swap it to a nicer bun with one slice of cheese. Served on plastic kiddies plates, not like all the photos I see on other people's reviews. Paid £35.80 for 5 drinks and 5 sad little rolls and 3 bags of crisps. Man at the bar very lovely. Dog friendly.

Good for drinks but we arrived 5pm on a Saturday afternoon and our friends wanted pizza but were told there was one left, they weren t cooking any more and you can t order anything else at all. Also, they don t do coffee, you couldn t order that! It was disappointing as there was little explanation.

Great pint, friendly landlord and staff. Looking forward to trying a pizza soon!

December 22, 2023

Ive been to this pub several times since it has got new ownership and each time I have left severely disappointed. I have given it a fair try each time but rude staff, refusal to serve you unless you are a regular who are allowed to stay for lock ins whilst everyone else is turfed out before the pub closes and charging on entry for live music for a local pub is obscene. The attitude of staff when even just asking for water was appalling, and needs a severe shake up. Cant comment on the food, but with wetherspoons down the road I doubt many are eating there anyways. Wont be going back anytime soon.

Been here a few times now, the menu had a couple of options removed but wasnt an issue food was good service was good. And good value for money. If I was going to make any negatives its the sound system is one loop from the bar to the restaurant so as the rugby was on we had to listen to it in the restaurant area it would be better on a separate system with some background music to that area.

Popped into this pub after 3 hours at the Craft & Flea Fayre at the Three Counties Showground, for a refreshing drink & maybe a bite to eat. Discovered current publican had only been running it for 8 weeks after previous occupants had run it down, so shes got her work cut out. So far shes doing really well, very friendly, beer well kept & a good price. Limited food menu but pizzas where excellent. Was getting busier as we left.

Food was excellent, one of the best burger and chips Ive had in a while although the extra toppings were a little expensive. Good reports of the pizza and fish and chips. All non greasy, fresh, mostly prepared on site it would seem, cooked to perfection, hot and all served together. Both the manager and chef came to check on the food as we ate. Well done.

I cant speak highly enough of the Red Lion pub in Malvern. I have been going here for many years and have always had excellent authentic Thai food, and all the staff are so friendly and helpful. Its a good idea to book as it gets very busy. The takeaways are also excellent but try to make your order early because again they are generally busy . They have an English menu but I havent tried it . Nice outdoor seating and food is also served out doors. The quaint little Thai restaurant itself has not been open because of the pandemic but when it is it is a truly magical experience. No actual parking but there is the council car park at the bottom of the hill, and then a short few seconds walk to the pub.

First time eating at the Red Lion. Such a busy little pub and all staff were so polite, helpful and very calm under pressure. The food was delicious and fresh. Good size portions too. We will definitely be back next year when we visit The Malverns again. Also big thanks to the bar man who gave me some chocolate too Many thanks Rachel and Scott

We actually ate in the Thai restaurant next door and not in the pub. Food was great. Loved it. A pub next to a restaurant like this must be good too.

The menu and decoration are a bit trendy, so those looking for a traditional bar meal will probably be disappointed. But the taste is really good, the grilled steak of the burger tastes super good.

Heard very good things about this place so thought we would check it out, atmosphere was lovely, staff super friendly, drink selection brilliant, offer draughts, bottles and cocktails (something for everyone). On to the food....I selected the gammon which came with chips, onion rings, peas and either pineapple or egg. My partner chose the big Ol cheese burger with chips and onion rings. The food was so fresh and you could tell it was made with love. I would highly recommend this place for food and even just for drinks, loved every second here, plus very good value for money, will definitely be returning.

Empty apart from us two,it was only 5 pm though. Apparently the Thai restaurant attached is very popular,and has great reviews, the European menu didnt have the beef which we wanted so we didnt eat here. I tried several ales but nothing tasted outstanding. It seems worth another visit though, I hope it was an off night.

Great service. After I drank half the beer, they realized I had the past of the empty tank. So they gave me a new one. The first one was indeed not tasting good, although it was the first time I had that one. So I could not know the difference. The new one tasted much better.

Proper! Lovely beer, attentive & friendly staff, and a Thai menu cooked by who I presume to be one of the bosses. The food was amazing! And authentic! I also watched a group of hungry travellers turn up at 5 past kitchen close time and the chef/gaffer let them sit and eat anyway. A nice touch.

Saw the great reviews on Google and also based on a personal recommendation we decided to visit The Red Lion Hotel Thai Restaurant for dinner. My partner and I ordered Tom Kha with Chicken, Duck spring rolls and 2 x Pad Thai, one with chicken and one with prawns. The Tom Kha had no texture and was very watery, no depth to the taste as you would expect. The Spring rolls tasted as if they were cooked from frozen, flavourless. The most disappointing dishes were the Pad Thai which hadnt been cooked with the meat or prawns, they came out steaming and too hot to eat and tasted identical, both bland and colourless. There was no taste of tamarind in there and it seemed they were cooked from the same batch but just added chicken and prawns. Thai food is one of our favourite cuisines and weve eaten in many Thai restaurants all over the UK and across Thailand including street cafes so were well accustomed to authentic Thai cuisine. We shared our feedback with the serving staff and the owner came over and said But I am Thai - just because youre Thai it doesnt make you a good cook! Her business partner who was sat behind us turned around and said have you seen our reviews?We simply wanted to share our feedback but it was received negatively. So much so, as we left the Restaurant a few minutes later, the serving staff member was telling his drunk friends who were having drinks outside what had happened. These friends then started shouting Ive never had any complaints about the food before, this is the best Thai I have ever had. This really disappointed us, our feedback was shared to customers who werent even eating Thai food and showed a lack of respect and professionalism. We are visiting Malvern for the weekend from London and were really enjoying our stay in this quaint township. This has left a bad taste in our mouths (pardon the pun). Last night we ate at The Everest Eatery which was a completely different experience with friendly and respectful staff, authentic and freshly cooked food. We unfortunately wont be returning to The Red Lion Thai again.
