A beer house since 1836, the Red Lion continues to embrace its grain led origins, recently winning Cambridge CAMRA’s coveted Pub of the Year Award. Throw in a freshly cooked pub menu, four modern en-suite bedrooms, a cracking annual beer festival, pub teams galore (petanque, darts, crib) and a huge helping of community spirit and you’ll begin to see a little of what we’re about.

Bank Holiday forecast: 100% chance of “just one more pint” and zero dishes! ☀️🍻

​Round up the kids, tag the mates, and bring the whole crew to The Red Lion. Cold drinks, big plates, and questionable darts skills welcome. 🎯🍷

​Be here or suffer severe Instagram FOMO all weekend! 👀👇

We know you're busy squeezing the last drops out of summer, but we need to address the bottle of wine in the room wearing a tiny Santa hat. 🎅🍷

Apologies for dropping the 'C' word in August, but we just want to gently save you from the tragedy of hosting this year's Christmas do in the office kitchen with a warm multipack of crisps.

Pop your name down for a table at The Red Lion now, and you can get straight back to pretending autumn isn't happening. 🍹

We’re having an absolute rad-icchio time in the garden today.

Let’s be honest, it’s a "too hot to cook" weather—so come swap the oven for ice-cold drinks and fresh bites under the sun.

​Grab a bench before someone else claims your spot! 😎👇

Total eclipse of the garden! 🍹

Darkness is coming, but I’ve got my Raspberry Honeybee and a Hugo Spritz with your name on it. Come watch the sky do its thing!

Less than 4 weeks until half the county conveniently "loses reception" for a week and ends up in our garden. 🍺

​If you haven’t blocked out 7th – 12th Sept, what are you actually doing? 60 proper ales, 20 ciders, live music, and incredible food. People literally plan their entire year around this week, so do not be the tragic one sitting on the sofa watching 400 stories of everyone you know having the time of their lives in the tent.

​Call in sick, rally the troops, and get yourself here. You’ve been warned! 🍻🎶✨
