This Pub is Closed Long Term

"Regretfully, we have to announce that the Red Lion will be closing with immediate effect today, Thursday 21st March. This is unlikely to be a surprise to our customers who will have been aware that the pub has had a difficult trading period for some months, compounded by electricity and gas outages and high running costs. Consequently, the pub is unable to continue trading. Thank you for your custom and support over the last 18 months.

Please contact Stonegate for any enquiries regarding the pub."

A 17th century ex-Simonds pub - the last of at least three in the village - which welcomes locals, diners and drinkers with a selection of real ales from three handpumps invariably in use and other beers from keg fonts. The historic 'L'-shaped bar and dining area - with pizzas a recent innovation - has been extended to provide a restaurant area that can be used for club and society meetings etc. (bands normally play from within the dining section). In winter, there is a welcoming wood-burning stove whilst, in summer, a large garden, although backing onto some low-rise housing, is otherwise surrounded by sylvan Berkshire countryside.

Information for this venue is provided by the Reading & Mid-Berks Branch of CAMRA
