The Red Lion Hinxton in the Press

All the below have been printed on a merit only basis - because The Red Lion Hinxton was doing something that the journalists genuinely wanted to talk about and there was no quid-pro-quo commitment to take out advertising space.

Settle in for the summer
You can’t beat a good pub garden – and this lot are the finest, with plenty to keep you amused, from cricket pitches to petting farms

Vincent Crump

A good pub garden is hallowed ground — just add a spot of sunshine, tasty food, a quenching tipple and sparky company, and you’re all set for the afternoon. Here’s where to find the finest.

4 Red Lion
Hinxton, Cambridgeshire


“We’re now even prouder of our garden than of our pub and bedrooms,” says Alex Clarke, mine host at the Red Lion. And no wonder — it has been freshly primped by the designer Ian Shooter, a Chelsea Flower Show medallist last year, and now has a dapper new patio, all teak and trellises; contemplative corners under the church tower; a flutter of doves to the dovecote; and Alex’s pride and joy, his arbour. “Our wisteria has flowered in its first season,” he bubbles. “I’m tickled lilac!” The menu has a red rosette from the AA and includes wood pigeon with beetroot vinaigrette. Don’t tell the doves.

Daily Telegraph 2 May 2008
We were listed as one of 50 great pubs in England and Wales, selected from Alistair Sawday's latest publication:
"A lovely spot for peaceful summer sipping. Pop in for a beef and horseradish sandwich or linger over pot-roasted rabbit. Adnams and Woodforde's beers add to the appeal, as do eclectic menus that list a range of classic pub dishes, all at good prices. Puddings are wonderful: sticky toffee pudding with caramel sauce, passion fruit pavlova."
