Steve C left this review about The Red Lion
The central bar area of the Red Lion is bookended by seating areas to the left and right. There is an inglenook around an old gas fire on the right wall in the tile floored bar area. Low beamed doorways lead to the seating either side and a short bar counter runs along the rear wall. Standard keg was available alongside Madri and one of the three hand pumps was drawing a nice drop of Bank’s at £3.10 a pint. I found the governor to be friendly, although he was getting ready to shut up shop not long after 20:00 on my Sunday visit. I found this pub to be welcoming, and liked the quirkiness, so I would return if in the area.

If your business model is shutting before 9 pm on a Sunday then i think you need to rethink your approach to running a pub. Landlord was a complete xxxx I'd rather give q tramp my cash than this knob head owner. Pub down tbe road £1.99a point bet his wasn't Enjoy these lack out custom.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Red Lion
Venerable pub with a relatively unaltered multi-room interior meriting its place on Camra's national inventory of historic pubs. All parts pleasingly traditional, but especially the small side room. No frills at all, and only one of the three handpumps in use, but at least I got a decent pint of Banks's Amber (just £2.90).
