Ye Olde Red Lion has stood on this site for at least 400 years, changing very little externally. It has a popular beer garden, and a 'priest's hole' in the fireplace. The building is a quaint 'country-style' pub with an attractive low-beamed ceiling, so mind your head if you are tall. The outside seating area at the front has an old well. Up to three ales are usually available, including London Pride or Hobgoblin Gold. Sunday roasts are a specialty and events include weekly quizzes.
