Attractive 17th century country pub in the centre of the village. Steps up to the front door. The brick-faced main bar faces you when you enter. It sits on a red & cream tiled floor. Exposed ceiling and wall beams. To the left is a spacious dining area, to the right a cosy public bar with open fire and TV. The village's two churches in one churchyard can been seen from high-level enclosed rear garden.

Four handpumps offer Batemans beers and others from their guest list with Timothy Taylor's Boltmaker a frequent visitor. Home cooked, simple but tasty food is available at most sessions. Fish & chips or fish pie to eat in or take away on Friday evenings. Booking is often wise. Occasional live music.

The Red Lion reopened under new tenants in mid October 2023.
