The Red Lion

Head down Bramford Road and you'll find yourself in the kind of pub that hasn't tried to be anything other than what it is. The Red Lion does that thing really well—it's the sort of place where you can nurse a pint without anyone expecting you to order small plates or admire the Instagram potential of your drink. The crowd here is properly mixed, from the lads catching the match to folks popping in after work, and there's a genuine warmth to it all. You're getting straightforward pub hospitality at prices that won't make you wince, which is increasingly rare these days.
