The Red Lion Inn is situated just off the Thames path as it passes through historic Cricklade. The pub dates back to the early 1600s and there are still many historic features playing a part in creating the perfect British pub atmosphere. The Red Lion combines contemporary features in its stand alone restaurant with all the things that make pubs so much of an institution.
Roaring log fires, historic bric-a-brac, 9 real ales and ciders, unique guest lagers and beers from around the world, a fabulous pub garden and a warm welcome. These are all parts of what makes the pub so special. With the steady decline of the classic British pub the Red Lion stands out as one of a few true free houses, you only need to look at our daily changing list of beers to see this.

A very enjoyable family lunch with good menu, excellent food and service to match. The atmosphere of the Red Lion is so nice - a real pub with food rather than a food driven pub. An added attraction is the range of beers - especially the choice from their own micro brewery. Food portions were generous and excellent value for money. Be back soon!.
