The Red Lion in Winfrith Newburgh is the quintessential country pub, exuding all the old-world charm one expects from such a beloved institution. Nestled in the heart of Thomas Hardy's cherished countryside, this pub serves as a romantic retreat for those seeking a true taste of English tradition. Lizzie and her partner David, an accomplished chef with a distinguished culinary background, have perfected an atmosphere where guests truly feel like friends.
