The Red Lion: Thatched 1745 pub hotel in East Haddon with 6 hand pumps, seasonal British dining, and pocket sprung beds
Dining
The Red Lion's restaurant serves traditional and contemporary British pub food all day, with seasonal and monthly specials crafted from local ingredients. Lunch and dinner menus include vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, plus kids' meals. Weekday breakfasts are a continental buffet, with cooked options such as full English/Irish, à la carte, vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free breakfasts available as well.
Bar & Lounge
The bar operates 6 hand pumps serving local and national ales, with a focus on local ales and beverages. A snack bar and a cozy lounge area with a chesterfield sofa provide space for casual drinks or a light bite. Outdoor seating in the manicured gardens extends the bar and dining space into the open air.
Rooms & Suites
The 8 en-suite rooms include Double Rooms, Small Double Rooms, a Suite, and a Three-Bedroom House. All rooms have pocket sprung beds available as super king or twin setups, carpeted floors, free toiletries, electric kettles, and TVs. The Three-Bedroom House offers a kitchenette, a work desk, and a seating area, while the 1745 thatched main building has narrow, steep stairs and sloping floors that may not suit guests with limited mobility.
Grounds & Outdoor Spaces
Manicured gardens surround the hotel and provide outdoor seating for dining and relaxation, with views across surrounding farmland. A terrace and front patio give additional spots for reading or drinks, and the cricket grounds sit opposite the hotel. Free private parking is available on site, and the gardens are open to all guests staying at the hotel.
