The Red Lion

Really good backstreet local. Good atmosphere. The food has changed to pizza only. I can't comment on how the pizzas are as I haven't had one.

Back in the very early 1970s, I used to live in nearby Palace Road. We called the area The Golden Square, simply because we had The White Horse, The Anglesea Arms, The Freelands Tavern, The Crown and Anchor and The Red Lion...all within a 5 minute walk of each other. It was a truly wonderful time to live in, what was basically a village within a town. A Friday night could be spent visiting all 5 pubs and you knew that each would offer something unique to your evening. It's been many a year since I left the area, but I returned to The Red Lion on Saturday and it was like stepping back to those heady days of the early 1970s. Quite amazingly the present owners have been there for 30 years...which is testament to their business and the pull of this wonderful 'village' pub. Great beers and ales, friendly and welcoming owners and staff... and even the locals no longer bite!!! Highly recommended.
