Just got back from the Red Lion in Hawkshaw. I had the Black pudding with bacon, cheese and English mustard to start which was very nice. Then had the fish, chips and mush peas which was good. Some of the others had the plate pie which looked fantastic and they said it was very good. Others had pan fried chicken, steak and no complaints. My meal cost around £16, (although I wasn't paying). Portions were probably just right and I'd say fair value......although I wish I'd had the pie!!! All 8 of us enjoyed the meals, nobody left hungry (and there were some big lads eating). Beer was very good, JW Lees.
The venue is nice, very clean, well decorated, large car park to rear. Service was excellent.
