🔥 A quick reminder that our kitchen will be closing at 8:00pm tonight, with last food orders at 7:50pm.

We’ve been incredibly busy recently, so booking is essential if you don’t want to risk being turned away. Please get in touch to reserve your table.

Also, please bear with our team during this extreme heat. We’re doing our very best, but it’s certainly much harder to keep things running smoothly when temperatures are this high. We really appreciate your patience, kindness, and understanding. ❤️

Stay cool, stay hydrated, and we look forward to seeing you soon! ☀️🍻

🔥 IMPORTANT KITCHEN UPDATE 🔥

Due to the extreme weather conditions forecast until Friday, and with kitchen temperatures currently exceeding 40°C, we have made the decision to adjust our food service hours for the wellbeing of our team.

🍽️ Food will be served until 8:00pm tonight, tomorrow, and Thursday.
⏰ Last food orders will be taken at 7:50pm.

We appreciate your understanding and support while we work through these challenging conditions. Our bar will remain open as usual, and we look forward to welcoming you for a drink and a bite to eat.

Thank you for your continued support,

❤️ The Red Lion Team

🍔 BIG DADDY BURGER ALERT 🍔

One of yesterday’s Father’s Day specials was this absolute beast - the Big Daddy Burger! 😍

Stacked high with a juicy beef burger, crispy chicken fillet, smoky bacon, golden onion rings, and served with salad, chips, and a dipping sauce, this was definitely not for the faint-hearted! 🔥🍔

A huge thank you to everyone who came through The Red Lion yesterday to celebrate Father’s Day with us. It was fantastic to see so many families, friends, and familiar faces enjoying the day. We hope all the dads and father figures had a wonderful day and felt thoroughly spoiled! ❤️

Keep an eye on our page for more specials coming soon… 👀

Happy Father’s Day from all of us at The Red Lion ❤️

Today we’re thinking of all the dads out there - those proudly present with their families, those watching over us from heaven, dads who are missing their children, and the amazing mums who take on both roles every single day. Whatever Father’s Day means to you, we’re sending our love and best wishes.

A quick note for today: we are fully booked for Father’s Day service, with only one or two table/time slots remaining. Please, please call ahead before travelling if you haven’t already booked, as we may unfortunately have to turn people away.

🍻 If you’re just joining us for drinks, there’s no need to book - all drinkers are very welcome.

Wishing everyone a wonderful Father’s Day from The Red Lion.

❤️ A little note from us at The Red Lion ❤️

What a phenomenal start to the week we’ve had already! Thank you so much for your continued support. With some lovely weather hopefully arriving later in the week, we’d like to gently encourage anyone planning to join us for food to book ahead where possible.

As many of you know, while we have plenty of space across our dining areas and garden, our kitchen is actually very small in comparison. During busy periods, especially at this time of year, we can reach our capacity much sooner than it may appear.

If you pop in and the bar doesn’t seem particularly busy, please remember that we often have a full garden, as well as diners upstairs, all being served from the same kitchen.
This is why we always recommend booking where possible. It helps us manage service and ensures we can look after everyone as well as we can.

Please know that we never want to turn anyone away.
If we’re unable to take food orders, or if there is a wait for food, it’s because our kitchen team is genuinely working at full capacity to maintain the quality and service you deserve.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who chooses to wait, books ahead, and shows patience and understanding when we’re busy.
Your support means the world to us. ❤️

Thank you for continuing to choose The Red Lion - we can’t wait to welcome you.

☎️ To avoid disappointment, please give us call and book your table.

🍹 Spritz season is here.

Whether you’re craving the bittersweet classic of an Aperol Spritz, the zesty freshness of a Limoncello Spritz, or the floral sparkle of a Hugo Spritz, we’ve got your perfect pour waiting.

Which one are you choosing? 🍊🍋🌿

Sorry we’ve been a little quieter on social media lately! 😊

The reason for the lapse in updates is simple - we’ve been so busy welcoming all of you through our doors! 🍻☀️

We thought we’d share a few photos of our beautiful garden, which so many of you love to visit and enjoy. 🌿🌸

Thank you for keeping us so busy and for all your continued support. We really do appreciate every visit, whether you’re joining us for a drink, a meal, or simply a relaxing afternoon in the garden.

We look forward to seeing you again soon! ❤️

☀️ We hope you’re enjoying the sunshine while it’s here!

Just a quick update - we’re fully booked for dining this evening from 5pm onwards and unfortunately have no tables remaining.

However, our sunny garden is open and we’d love to welcome you for drinks and soak up the sunshine with us! 🍻🌞

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing you at The Red Lion.

We’re open today from 12pm–11pm, with food being served from 12pm–8.45pm. 🍽️
