About The Red Lion

Set in the small but perfectly formed village of Ashington on the South Downs, The Red Lion is a smasher of a pub & restaurant known for serving good, honest food, a great range of real ales and quaffable wines.

Sunny days, cosy nights

Our characterful pub is stylishly yet comfortably kitted out, providing plenty of cosy corners under the beams of the original 16th century building. Outside we have a smart little eating and drinking area, ideal for a bit of alfresco enjoyment during the summer.
