Countryside pub hotel in East Haddon with seasonal British cuisine and local ales
Dining Experience
The Red Lion's restaurant serves traditional and contemporary British pub food throughout the day, with lunch and dinner menus that change monthly to highlight seasonal local ingredients. Talented chefs create specials such as steak and ale pie, butter chicken curry, and Sunday roasts with fresh vegetables and homemade yorkies. Breakfast options include continental buffet on weekdays, full English, eggs benedict, and vegetarian selections with fresh pastries and warm dishes.
Accommodations
Guest rooms offer pocket sprung beds configurable as super king or twin setups, along with en-suite bathrooms featuring rain showers and complimentary toiletries. Accommodations include double rooms, small doubles, suites, and a three-bedroom cottage, each with a hospitality tray offering bottled water, tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and biscuits. Rooms are housed within a building dating back to 1745, with period features like oak beams and free-standing baths in select suites.
Bar & Lounge
The bar operates 6 hand pumps offering a rotating selection of local and national ales, alongside a menu of wines and premium beverages. The lounge area is furnished with a chesterfield sofa and stylish decor, providing a space to relax with a drink or read. The pub also has three outdoor seating areas including a large beer garden with views over manicured gardens and the surrounding countryside.
Gardens & Grounds
The property includes beautifully manicured gardens with three separate outdoor seating areas for dining, relaxation, or enjoying a drink. Guests can use the garden for summer dining or simply sit on the front patio overlooking the cricket green and farmland. Free private parking is available on site, and the grounds are well maintained with ample space for vehicles.
