The Red Lion offers a quintessential English pub experience with its charming Victorian architecture, distinguished by impressively tall ceilings and various seating areas for a relaxed visit. Its rich history harmonizes with a well-curated selection of real ales and carefully crafted cocktails, making it a favorite for beer aficionados and cocktail lovers alike. The pub's Sunday roast is a standout, featuring perfectly cooked beef with complementary crispy potatoes and a thoughtful array of seasonal vegetables, all cloaked in the comforting embrace of savory gravy. Though once celebrated as a haven for live jazz, the music scene now tends to embrace wider eclectic tastes, with performances that regularly enliven the space. On the culinary front, their compact menu does not compromise on quality, delivering tasty burgers among other traditional delights, while also accommodating larger parties with its expansive outdoor area. Service oscillates between efficient attentiveness and need for improvement during the busiest hours; however, the old-world charm and vibrant ambiance continue to cement its place as a favored landmark in the community.
