After a major refurbishment by owner Star Pubs, the Red Lion has been reinvented as the Lion sports bar; numerous screens show Sky Sports in the main bar, with a huge TV on the wall of the rear bar. There is a pool table and dart board in the rear bar, and there's now a courtyard to the rear with tables and chairs. Already established with locals, it can be very popular for any sporting event, from football to rugby to darts. Three handpulls, though on two recent visits no real ale was available.
