Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Red Lion
Large McMullen's food-led pub with a rather austere brick façade that hides a much lighter interior which has been thoroughly refurbished in a semi-modern gastro-pub style. Partly opened-out inside to leave a variety of seating and dining areas around the bar. Also has a part-patio / part-grass beer garden to one side. Four of the five handpumps were in use, as on my last visit four years ago, with AK, Country, IPA and Eight Hop from Rivertown as a guest (£2.20) available this time.

This is a Large Mcmullen pub with their standard ale range available alongside a standard draught selection. Like many Mcmullen pubs I found this place to be a little too food orientated as the function room which doubles up as the Sunday Carvery room would suggest.
There is a decent beer garden which had a bouncy castle for the kids and there is plenty of parking, just remember to get the code to exit the car park.
I found it a little sterile in here, but my visit was mid week and I would imagine that it livens up on Friday and Saturday nights as a disco was advertised for both.
I'm not a great fan and I wouldn't make plans to return.
