The Red Lion is a nice-looking pub in the village of Redbourne. It has a pretty setting next to the village car park and a duck pond. It is also adjacent to the old village fire station, complete with vintage fire truck. The interior is much more plain. There is seating at the front of the bar itself, with further seating areas at the rear of the bar, making the pub much larger than it initially appears. It was fairly quiet on our early afternoon visit, with one other family just having finished meals. It was slightly busier outside, with people enjoying the sunshine on picnic tables to the front. Service is pleasant. But the only real ale on our visit was Black Sheep Best Bitter.
