Quinno _ left this review about Ye Olde Red Lion
Traditional corner pub with a 70s refit kept well; wonky beams, woodchip wallpaper, red fabric banquettes, heraldic coats of arms on the lower servery. Proper fire on the go. Nine pumps (!) with three cask on - Marstons Pedigree, Wainwright Gold (NBSS 1.5, farty) and Amber (3). I liked the fabric of the pub, shame about the inconsistent ale quality (perhaps less is more…). I’d give it another go should I find myself back in town again. 6.5

Old school old beams type of place as discussed below, little has changed, including the prices, which while steep then are fair enough now. Only a few people in on a Sunday afternoon after the roast dinner brigade had finished, and seemed a safe enough spot to try Marstons "61 Deep", which was OK and served to our table with a smile.
Market Bosworth is a handsome town, and this pub a makes an pleasant break while nosing around.

The reviews below nail the descriptive points fully and accurately.
I'll confine my comments to saying that this is a pleasant, historical boozer which offers a warm welcome, real fire and a range of Marston's ales.
Mr F addresses the elephant in the room as regards prices below - £3.80 for a 4.2% standard pint - and the pub doesn't live up to the hotel standards suggested by the prices but then again the loyalty scheme is available for locals.
Beers on when we visited were: Jennings Knight Porter and The World's Biggest Liar, Marstons Burton Bitter, Pedigree and Salute and Banks Bitter. I stuck to the very well kept Knight Porter.
Probably the best of the three town centre boozers and I'd happily return for a reliable pint.
