Positioned in the village of Winfrith in the midst of rolling countryside, The Red Lion is a charming country inn that provides welcome respite to locals and travellers. Inside, the pub’s traditional decor provides a cosy atmosphere that’s enhanced by the welcoming staff. It’s truly a pub for all seasons, with warming log fires creating warmth during the winter, and an inviting pub garden for sunny days. The pub also boasts five delightful en-suite bedrooms as well as camping and caravanning facilities, which, combined with its prime location near top Dorset attractions, makes this the perfect spot for those seeking a West Country getaway.
The menu is packed with home-cooked favourites and changes regularly, so you’ll always find something to pique your interest. You might start with flavoursome mussels cooked in tomato, chorizo and smoked paprika, or perhaps the black pudding stack with potato rosti, bacon and a fried egg. Follow with wholetail scampi served with chunky chips, tartare sauce and peas, or a succulent locally sourced steak from the grill. For a lighter bite to eat there’s a selection of baked jacket potatoes, baguettes, sandwiches and salads. As well as satisfying food, you’ll find a great range of award-winning ale, lager and cider. Book yourself a spot – you won’t be disappointed.
