* We have just retained our title, held since 2008,
"Best Restaurant in the South of Cambridge", as well as being voted
"Top 10 Restaurants in Cambridgshire and West Suffolk"
(Local Secrets Awards 2010)
It is tough getting to the top but tougher staying there - so well done Peter, Mike and their team.
* We have also been listed in the "Top 10 Pub Gardens in the Country" by The Sunday Times (13th June 2010) - congratulations to Ian Shooter, our Cambridgeshire garden designer.
* We made the last six from thousands of pubs in the UK for the prestigious Freehouse of the Year Award 2010 held by The Publican.
* Peter and Mike have just pulled off an amazing fourth Chef Taster Menu Dinner on Saturday 3rd July. These evenings are an extraordinary experience and incredible value. They will now be available once a month - see next dates here and the last menu here: see menu
* Our eight new-build B&B guest rooms have just passed their first anniversary and have exceeded all expectations - delivering on their awarded 4 AA stars (and a Rosette for the restaurant) and Alastair Sawday listing - see Bedrooms page for detail
Welcome to The Red Lion Inn, a privately owned free house pub restaurant with bed & breakfast accommodation that has resided at the heart of the pretty conservation village of Hinxton, Cambridgeshire since the 16th Century, and is run by landlord Alex Clarke.
A Grade II listed building provides the setting for the original bar with green chesterfield leather sofas and well-stoked fire.
An impressive new oak, dry peg, extension offers a more airy and spacious dining room in a classic and sympathetic style.
The walled garden has a quintessentially English setting with tables laid our on mown lawns, a wysteria-clad arbour rail and a patio with parasols, all overlooked by the dovecote and village church clock tower.
The eight guest rooms have just been sympathetically built within the grounds to exacting standards. All are double en suite with direct dial telephone and internet access (modem and wireless).
Our pub restaurant menu is a mix of contemporary and traditional dishes. All our dishes are cooked to order using primarily fresh local produce.
We are proud that we continue to retain our listing in The Good Food Guide, The Good Pub Guide and The Good Beer Guide. We are pleased to now be included in the exclusive Alastair Sawday publications, as well as having been awarded 4 AA Stars for our accommodation and an AA Rosette for our food. All these publications are based purely on merit. This is a great credit to our team.
We are reliant on feedback from our customers to ensure that future visits are even more enjoyable. You can do this by filling out the form on our contact page – we’d be delighted to hear from you (and we will enter you into the monthly draw).
You can be sure of a warm welcome and a friendly atmosphere at The Red Lion Inn, whether you are looking for a traditional pub restaurant meal, a quiet drink or bed & breakfast accommodation and we look forward to seeing you soon.
