This Pub is Permanently Closed

The Red Lion is situated in Bottesford which is a large village just off the A52 near Grantham and was frequented by both locals and the many walkers who come to walk the Vale of Belvoir. A traditional, friendly village pub with an olde worldie feel and real fires. The pub reputedly dates back to the 1700's and is full of history. It was popular with locals and visitors all of whom enjoyed the traditional feel. Large car park.Fish and Chips were served Friday lunchtime. URGENT: Currently closed pending planning application for residential use. A local community group, the "Friends of the Red Lion" are seeking to save the Red Lion as a community pub. If you would like to help SAVE THE RED LION please contact the Friends, whose website is: http://www.friendsoftheredlion.co.uk/
