MAKE IT A CHRISTMAS TO REMEMBER AT THE RED LION
Whether you’re celebrating with friends for the festive season, arranging a works party with colleagues, or planning your annual get together with your nearest & dearest, we’re the perfect venue for your event. We’ll have our real fires lit, mulled wine and Plum Pudding cask ale pouring, and delicious winter dishes being served. There’ll be plenty going on from Christmas quiz nights and party nights with live music, to carol services and breakfasts with Santa.
If you’re looking to bring the family together and enjoy a fantastic Christmas Day with us, our Christmas Day menu is filled with traditional favourites; British roasted meats and all the veggie trimmings you’d expect with roasties and gravy, and a choice of puddings to finish.
