Red Lion

You'll find the Red Lion sitting on St Mary's Road, the kind of no-nonsense pub that doesn't need to shout about itself. It's Greene King through and through—which means dependable ales, decent pub food, and the sort of atmosphere where regulars actually know the bar staff's names. The place pulls a decent mix of locals and passing trade, especially on weekends when things liven up a bit. Nothing fancy, nothing forced; just a proper pub that does what it's meant to do. At these prices (under a tenner for most mains), you're getting value that matches the honest approach to everything here.
