Red Lion, Hooe

Hooe Common, Hooe, TN33 9EW (View on Google Map)
No website available

Built in 1495 as a farmhouse with a large estate, in 1635 it became the Red Lion. Smugglers and customs officers clashed here often until 1805 when it became a post house. In the nineteenth century the large stables enabled the inn to offer a livery service. The pub has two main beamed bars, a public with wooden floor, also a snug and a restaurant / function room upstairs including two inglenook fireplaces. Home cooked food, locally sourced where possible, is offered.

Brick built, part tile hung village pub which originally was three small rooms and possibly an off-sales? The small spartan public bar on the right has a bare wood floor, a small curved bar counter which looks to be from the 1950/60s with a brown Formica top, a small 1950s brick fireplace, old dado panelling painted red, some panelling above painted cream and the odd wall bench.

The main saloon bar looks like it was two rooms in the distant past but possibly changed into one room in the late 1950s as the bar counter is of ply panels with a fine set of four short porcelain handpumps on a Formica top, but, sadly, the bar back fittings are modern although there is a small till drawer that could date from c.1960. There is a large inglenook fireplace on the left of the room, a 1950s brick fireplace on the right and the fixed seating could be from a similar period.

There is a splendid small uneven brick floored snug on the rear left that was probably brought into use in recent times as there are some wall cupboards. The date of the brick fireplace in an inglenook is unknown, service is via a split door to the side of the servery and on the wall is a fine model of the pub. Still retains an outside gents on the right / public bar side and a shop on the far right is leased out.
