The Red Lion Pub & Kitchen Description
Recently awarded the Trip Advisor Certificate of Excellence, The Red Lion Pub & Kitchen is a characterful, 17th century Inn with rooms, hidden away in a quiet corner of the ancient and beautifully preserved village of Blewbury which lies at the foot of the Berkshire Downs in south Oxfordshire.
While retaining many of its original features, The Red Lion Pub & Kitchen, has been sympathetically updated and decorated using vintage, country antique and quirky finds. We have three comfortable, individually furnished bedrooms, all en-suite, two dining rooms, serving Phil’s locally sourced, seasonally-changing menu of modern British dishes with French influences.
There’s also a cosy, oak-beamed bar with additional dining space, a working Inglenook fireplace and flagstone floors, offering craft beers, numerous lagers and ciders and old and new world wines. Outside, an orchard garden perfect for summer dining and drink with views over neighbouring fields.
Our location makes The Red Lion Pub & Kitchen a perfect base from which to explore the stunning countryside that surrounds us. The village of Blewbury is also well-known for its literary and artistic connections. Kenneth Grahame (Wind In The Willows) was a regular at The Red Lion. Barbara Euphan Todd writer of Worzel Gummidge, and the ex-jockey and thriller writer, Dick Francis also lived here, while Agatha Christie lived in the nearby village of Cholsey.
Reviews
What can I say. I've eaten in some fine restaurants. The food here is outstanding. Everything home cooked and outstanding. When I first looked at the menus, I thought there are so many choices it has to be a typical Frozen food supplier. Boy was I wrong. The food and presentation was fantastic. Can't wait to come again.
We stayed yesterday, the food was delicious over the three meals from lunch to dinner last night and this mornings exceptional breakfast, beautifully presented and served by lovely welcoming staff. The room was well appointed if a tad too warm overnight. One tiny observation/criticism could the chef give us vegetarians a bit more choice on the menu?
We stayed at the red lion for 1 night room was basic but clean the food was some of the best we have eaten the staff are really friendly
We stayed at The Red Lion last night. My husband was reliving his younger years in Blewbury. So glad we chose to stay here. All the staff were so friendly. We had dinner Friday night in the lovely restaurant which was one of the finest meals we have ever had, the presentation was amazing. Breakfast was delicious too, full English with everything you could think of on the plate, once again presentation was amazing. Our Bedroom was spacious and very clean, bed and pillows so comfy. Will definitely stay again if we are in the area. Thank you Phil.
