The Red Lion offers a generous and versatile trading layout designed to support multiple styles of operation. Guests enter into a well‑positioned front area that naturally divides the venue into distinct yet connected spaces. To the right sits the lounge bar, previously home to karaoke and entertainment, providing a warm social atmosphere with room to reintroduce regular events. On the left is the public bar, which can also be accessed via a side entrance, creating a traditional, energetic space ideal for sport, live music and high‑footfall trading. Toward the rear is a cosy snug that lends itself perfectly to a pool table or intimate seating, adding another layer of customer experience. The courtyard beer garden offers valuable outdoor trading capacity and features its own cocktail bar, giving operators an opportunity to activate summer events, daytime trade and themed evenings. Upstairs, a separate function room with its own entrance, bar and toilets provides a self‑contained space suitable for private hire, community gatherings or ticketed entertainment, unlocking further revenue potential.
