The Red Lion is a traditional half-timbered thatched inn dating from the 16th century situated in a quiet village a short distance south from the A4130 between Didcot and Wallingford. The comfortable bar features wood beams, oak flooring and exposed brick inglenook fireplace with log-burner, and leads to the restaurant area off to one side, the latter was refurbished in early 2021.
The south-facing courtyard garden is a sun-trap in the summer months and the well-lit and heated marquee installed during the pandemic provides all-year-round comfortable drinking and dining outside.
In 2023 a thatched lion was added to the eastern end of the roof ridge.
The beers are usually from local breweries, including Amwell Springs, Loddon and Loose Cannon, and a good-quality seasonal menu is served. Takeaway meals continue to be offered at least 1 day a week.
