Staff need to pay more attention! I've watched 4/5 staff behind the bar ignoring me. I stood there for 5-7 minutes, not even an acknowledgement. One guy walks in off the street and was served immediately! Ridiculous. I was going to order a whole meal for two, and now refuse to do so.I've just watched another guy being completely ignored, again standing there for 5+ minutes without any acknowledgement. I noticed 2 females (I assume management) look around to me a few times whilst I was waiting at the bar not being served.First rule of any hospitality - acknowledge the customer!Customer is number one priority, not loading the fridges, or cleaning glasses.Utterly shambolic service, and frankly embarrassing. We've been here a few times, but won't be returning, or recommending.Hi n1k5I am very disappointed to hear of your experience you had visiting us recently. We would never want any of our guests to leave feeling this way. The team members you mentioned may have not realized you were waiting to be served hence why they didn't come over to you. This is no excuse for the service however I just wanted to offer an explanation as to why some of our team members may have seemed to not have acknowledged you.We will be picking this up with the team to see why this happened during your visit, to ensure this does not happen again moving forward.Kind regards,MollyThe Red Lion Team

A group of 17 of us ranging in age from 14 to mid 70s had a wonderful meal for a special birthday at Albertoâs on February 9th. We had two vegans, vegetarians and meat (and escargot) eaters in our group and we all loved our food. We had starters and main courses and Alberto brought out a birthday cake supplied by one of the party before we chose desserts so that was our dessert. A lovely evening, thank you Alberto and all concerned.
