A beer house since 1836, the Red Lion continues to embrace its grain led origins, recently winning Cambridge CAMRA’s coveted Pub of the Year Award. Throw in a freshly cooked pub menu, four modern en-suite bedrooms, a cracking annual beer festival, pub teams galore (petanque, darts, crib) and a huge helping of community spirit and you’ll begin to see a little of what we’re about.
