Built in 1602 and a pub since 1719, this white-washed old pub stands on the old A50 Northampton to Leicester road consisting of several rooms. It exudes rustic charm and offers a welcoming escape. Inside the crackling fireplace casts a warm glow, complemented by low wooden beams. In late July, the pub comes alive with its annual beer, a vibrant celebration of local breweries. the food offering proudly showcases fresh, seasonal dishes, like their signature steak and Stilton pie, complemented perfectly by a Cask Marque approved ale. Under the care of Simon and Louise Cottle who have run the pub since 2011, the Red Lion promises an authentic taste of rural life.
