Komakino . left this review about The Red Lion

A cavernous, stone-cladded, multi-levelled GK Hungry Horse pub-cum-eatery with attached 'Wacky Warehouse'. Decor-wise, a riot of colours, along with various meal deals, several large screens showing a rerun of the 2012 Carling Cup Final and an ale range limited to just GK IPA and Abbot Ale. A stone inscription out front states 'Red Lion Hotel Rebuilt 1905' and architecturally the corner part of the building looks attractive (some newish frosted glass adding to the attraction), but inside, it's just another homogenised eating den.
