Food scene

The Red Lion Inn is literally only 100 metres from The Apple Store, affectionately know as ISD (in stumbling distance!) Whether you are after a thirst quenching drink in the beer garden, or enjoying a pint of real ale in front of the roaring fire the Red Lion ticks all the boxes. Food wise the pub offers the full dining experience from a traditional bar menu, to a gastro dinner or dining alfresco enjoying pizza from the wood fired pizza oven in the garden.
