Overview of The Red Lion Inn Hinxton

The Grade II listed BAR at The Red Lion Inn oozes charm and character with its low ceilings, two chesterfield sofas, open fire, wooden floor and four local real ales on the pumps. The bar tables, with their high-backed upholstered settles, are often the preferred option for more informal dining.

The RESTAURANT, by contrast, while still rustic and traditional in construction (dry-pegged oak rafters throughout), has lofty ceilings and a wonderful feeling of space. The L-shaped layout with a flexible array of high-backed settles allows parties of all sizes to enjoy their own intimate space, while benefiting from the atmosphere of the whole.

The eight GUEST ROOMS were added in 2008, set apart from the rest of the pub with their own private garden area. They are a flint and brick construction, in keeping with many of the house in the conservation village, and they have been sunk discretely into the grounds of the pub for minimum impact on the Grade II listed pub.

Our Cambridgeshire walled GARDEN sits serenely with a dovecote, lawns, arbour rail, terraces, parasols, teak tables & chairs or informal pub picnic tables – there is a corner for everyone. Thanks to local garden designer, Ian Shooter (Chelsea Flower Show award winner), we are now almost even more proud of our garden than our pub or bedrooms.

We are not always able to offer full waited service in the garden but are happy to take food orders from the bar in exchange for a numbered wooden spoon and we will come and find you with your food when it is ready.

There is plenty of PARKING for our guests.
