What guests say
What a shame we were only staying one night in Kilsby because the The Red Lion in fab! Very friendly locals, lovely staff, the food was excellent (the simple things done really well), and the pint (or two...) of Churchend Gravedigger Mild was mind alteringly good. Great pub, cracking atmosphere - we're already plotting how we can make a return visit.

We enjoyed a delicious Sunday roast at The Red Lion. £18 for two courses was excellent value from the Sunday set menu with children being able to order what they wanted from the child's menu and the other Sunday menu. So there was something for everyone. Good hospitality and atmosphere too. Will definitely recommend to others.

We had a surprise birthday party here on a Thursday night and it was lovely. The team behind the bar was friendly and sufficient.
