Welcome
Situated in the centre of Newborough, a beautiful, rural village in East Staffordshire, The Red Lion is a popular village pub where you’ll find great food and a warm welcome.
So whether you pop in for a quick drink and a snack in our bar or lunch or an evening meal in our restaurant, our managers, Gail and Ryan, will be on hand to ensure you feel right at home.
Our menus feature fresh, local seasonal produce plus only Red Tractor assured meat from Russell’s butchers of Shenstone and we offer a wide selection of ales, wines, cocktails and speciality gins that we’re sure you’ll love.
We look forward to seeing you soon!

*** A Message From Our Owners***
After a lot of consideration the owners of The Red Lion have decided to lease the business.
The lease was first offered to Gail & Ryan who have been our managers since September 2019 and have done a wonderful job. They have declined the offer of a lease and are moving to pastures new. Gail & Ryan would like to thank all of our customers and the village for their support during their time here, especially through the lockdowns.
As of Friday 7th October 2022 Peter Farrington will be taking over the lease and we wish him every success.
The Red Lion will be closed after dinner service on Thursday 6th October and will reopen under Peter on Wednesday 12th October.

Just been for a quick lunch with my wife and was so impressed with red lion, the barman who served us was superb, he was polite, friendly and above all human. Excellent. The food was first class and prompt, we will definitely be going back, a massive well done to the Red lion, 100% excellent.
Very rare Dave Dee Discos get's to work in a pub But I'm glad I Did I think I made lots of new friends ,There was Mick & Kev & Kev 2 the younger and Sue & Charlotte to mention a few, great pub, great atmosphere, good prices & brilliant beer/ food I just loved working there, Keep up the good work!
Really lovely pub lunch, quiet Saturday (but day before father's Day!) but the staff suggested eating outside, which was perfect. Staff really welcoming - couldn't fault it at all, food all delish -will be back 👍🏼
Popped in here on the way home from work for a pint in the sweltering weather. I had heard about this place, had seen pictures from reviews that showed Bass on tap. So I was eager to have the opportunity to pop in. They have little on tap in terms of ales and no Bass. However, everything else is absolutely fine, a very fine village pub, staff are as friendly as you’d expect for a Staffordshire pub (which is usually pretty friendly), decent price on the pint of Pedi and some nice historical photos on the walls of the village. I reckon the food’s pretty good too looking at the menu. All you need really, just a shame about the lack of Bass. Just my opinion, but I wish there were more pubs in Staffordshire with Bass on tap, it’s all Pedi/Marston’s stuff and ales you’d see in any other pub in the country. Again, want to stress that’s just a personal nitpick, it’s really a very good village pub! 😊
I've often driven past the Red Lion in Newborough and thought "What a nice pub, we must visit." With Saturday night being date night, this was our destination of choice. As we had not booked in advance (highly recommended) and being busy, the welcoming bar room was our dining area. Drinks were ordered and the friendly and efficient service offered was exceptional. Before we could choose our food, a table in the restaurant had been made available. Being vegetarian/pescararian, there was a large selection on the menu (decisions, decisions!), including a vegan option. My choice of spiced halloumi was wonderful and my wife was happy to be able to choose a lighter version of fish and chips - with many meals on the menu offered as a smaller portion. Desert? Of course! Great drinks? Definitely? A warm welcome, attentive staff and a friendly atmosphere? Absolutely! Will we visit again? Guaranteed!
