OUR WELCOME

Always a friendly face

There are two roaring log fires during the colder months, comfy sofas and armchairs to relax in and a lovely cosy dining room set away from the bar. 

The cosy flagstone bar is the hub of the pub where you never know who you will end up chatting to. You could be entertained by Simon behind the bar with his bad jokes, regaled with stories from local farmers, meet the King of Ilmington brimming with local knowledge...or you might simply find a quiet spot to enjoy a few drinks.  

The Landlord Andy and Landlady Dee love to see new faces always offering a warm welcome to everyone beyond their locals to walking parties, cyclists, families, parties and four legged friends. 

The Red Lion is your original quintessential English pub.Nestled in the picturesque Cotswold village of Ilmington it is the heart of the village.

Lovely beers on tap, a proper pub with simple food served well - and in the case of the burger at least, in enormous portions! Went for a double burger which was unnecessary but much enjoyed... Super friendly staff and a nice garden at the back

Have been to the Red Lion a couple of times for Sunday lunch..that has been excellent, nice big meals but also many times for drinks..always been happy there. We like the fire and always cosy, just this time I think the cost of a glass of wine and especially the instant coffee (coffee machine wasn't on) was excessive..I did check making the coffee £2.90!! Definitely going to try the Howard next time as we are always walking in the area. Think sometimes if you don't drink alcohol, you can get a poor deal? The White Bear in Shipston would charge £7.90 for the wine and a pint!

Absolutely monstrous burger! Being from a large town full of chain pubs and burger restaurants, the normality is a little burger with Absolutely zero toppings. Now this... this was maybe one of the best burgers I have had in a long while! Would recommend.
