Red Lion

We popped into the Red Lion for a quick lunch and were very pleasantly surprise. The food was lovely and the menu offered a good choice of real food.
There is something unwelcoming about the outside of the pub which is a real shame as the actually building and inside are lovely, we almost left as it looked closed.
Well worth a visit and we will be going back as I did not have time for dessert.

The Red lion is a beautiful looking pub on the Ingatestone side of Margaretting, where the main street dips. It has good parking to the right and a few spaces out front. This is just as well since it is a popular venue.
It has under gone recent renovations and is quite stylish inside providing a far sized eating area, possibly situable for smallish groups. The menu is quite traditional and at competitive prices. The last time I was in there for Sunday Lunch it was packed.
The pub is child friendly and provides attractive outside spaces for the whole family to enjoy, including a fun area.
The Red Lion is known for holding special evenings regarding food and entertainment, including Elvis Evenings.
