About

With a rich history that dates to the 17th Century, The Red Lion is a picture-perfect pub, nestled within the pretty village of Bradley. Owned by the UK’s oldest brewery, Davenports’, the pub sits within their Boutique Collection which means it boasts a unique character that is combined with a strong focus on seasonal, delicious food, and a premium drink offering.

Original features, bold wall dressings, and quirky accessories add to the welcoming bar and stylish dining areas ensuring guests can relax and savour the generous and thoughtful dishes in a memorable setting.

A foodie paradise, The Red Lion serves up all the great classics that one would expect from a quintessential British Pub, which sit alongside elevated dishes boasting fresh, locally sourced, seasonal ingredients to create exciting, innovative and generous dishes…that’s in addition to the wickedly good burgers and ‘big’ sharing flatbreads!  The talented kitchen team pour in the handmade, so you taste and enjoy the difference with special’s always thrown into the mix to make your choice even harder!

Curated wines, great ales, premium spirits, and handcrafted cocktails are served up to compliment your dining experience, and if you are simply visiting for drinks, you may well still be tempted by the bar bite menu!

Whether enjoying Champagne on the terrace or a perfectly poured pint of Guinness in the manicured garden, you will find a space from which to enjoy all The Red Lion has to offer.

Adding more value into your weekend visit, free live music on Saturday evenings sets a cheerful tone once food service is complete, and if Sunday Roast is your thing, you won’t want to miss the Sharing Roast Board, booking is strongly advised.

Follow the pub on Instagram and Facebook, download the Loyalty App and more importantly book a table to savour delicious food! Jade and the team at The Red Lion cannot wait to take care of you…
