As of October 2024, the Old Red Lion is now under the stewardship of tenant Jacob Ward. It's pleasing to report that he plans to breathe new life into this classic old English village pub. He has already increased the opening hours and will hopefully extend them even further once trade starts to build up. The bar area has flagstone flooring and a large inglenook with seats inside. A small passage leads to two further cosy rooms (currently undergoing refurbishment). Draught Bass (on gravity as well as handpull) will be a permanent fixture and it is hoped one or two locally brewed beers (possibly a regular Mild) will be added to the range. The original pub bar remains relatively unchanged over the years and with its lovely original features and inviting inglenook fireplace, gives it a cosy inviting atmosphere. The former restaurant no longer forms part of the pub and will now be run as a cafe/tearoom.
A listed old local sandstone building which is little altered in 40 years when the bar counter was replaced (the carved bar back was added in 1988) and the toilet block added to the rear of the building. The bar was actually two rooms in the past with a partition creating a snug around the inglenook fireplace with a door in the right hand side of the partition but all this was removed, possibly in the early 50s. The fireplace and the flagstone floor are ancient and the fixed seating (wall bench and window) very old. There are two other small rooms, one with an inglenook fireplace but few other old fittings. Since the above, The Layout of three small rooms remains but a brand new oak bar and bar back have been installed by the new owners. The tiled fireplace in the second room remains and along with the inglenook fireplace and odd bits of fixed seating in the public bar are the only remaining old fittings. There are massive plans to bring the stables at the rear into use for toilets, new kitchen and even a farm shop.
