I had a lovely day yesterday celebrating my birthday. The postie came with cards, and I had several visitors which was really nice. In the evening we ventured over to Burnsall, with our great friends Richard and Denise, for dinner in The Red Lion.
Its a fab place situated right on the side of the River Wharfe and its a perfect place for sitting out on a lovely summer evening. Sadly last night there was heavy drizzle but we sat very comfortably in the snug.
I started my dinner with a Bruschetta of courgette, buffalo mozzarella, Cumbrian ham & pesto which was divine and followed this with Red Lion fish pie and spring cabbage, absolutely scrummy. In fact I'm drooling just writing this !!!.
Chris had Pate and a steak which he said was the best in a long time, Richard had Home cured Gravalax of salmon, lemon & rocket followed by Venison loin, caramelized pear & celeriac mash which looked lovely. Denise also had the Bruschetta and Chicken, leek & mushroom pie with spring cabbage.
We were offered a dessert menu but felt this would be just a step too far so we settled on coffee.
All in all it was the perfect end to a lovely day . The Red Lion was very atmospheric, clean, comfortable, the staff were friendly and very efficient and the food gets a 10/10 from us all.
We will definately be going back !
Check out their website and if you are coming here to stay its worth a short car ride to go and enjoy great food. www.redlion.co.uk
