Our traditional pub with its welcoming atmosphere, deftly juggles drinking and dining with real local ales, premium lagers, speciality spirits and home cooked food.
Sat overlooking the famous Gun Hill in Southwold, The Red Lion has been the shelter for those seeking a friendly atmosphere, food in their belly and an alcoholic beverage in their hand for over 500 years.
The Grade 2 listed building still retains many of its traditional characteristics and so does the pub itself - anyone is welcome and good times are a must!.

Pleasant service. Good selection of food on offer, with an ever-changing specials board. The waiting staff were very pleasant.
The food was absolutely lovely. Ordered ham, egg & chips, smoked haddick and mozzarella fish cakes & chips, southern fried chicken & chips and a side of onion rings which were huge. The portions are very large. The waitresses were very friendly. The service was excellent. Would definitely recommend it.
Great evening meal tonight during our holiday in Southwold. Actually eaten here before (3rd time!) Staff really friendly and attentive, food lovely, good choice and generous portion size. Had pudding as well this time, very nice. Keep up the good work all at The Red Lion. I'm sure we'll be back
Really pleased to be able to get a table for 3. The pub was busy with some large bookings but the staff still had plenty of time to look after everyone. No problem bringing our dog in. We ordered 2 thai green curries and 1 fish and chips, we wanted to swop the peas for coleslaw and this wasn't a problem. The food arrived quickly, really hot and was delicious. The pub was comfy, clean and cosy. Staff were polite and helpful. Toilets were very clean. A great evening.
We hadn't booked but the young red head lady found us a table for the 4 of us. This was a friday evening so it was quite busy. The service was perfect and so was the food. I would definitely recommend this pub for a nice evening meal.
