Muddy Stiletto Award - Best Destination Pub 2021!

The Red Lion is a thatched stone building that sits in the picturesque village of Yardley Hastings, southeast of Northampton and close to the border with both Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire. It’s an affluent area with several estates nearby, including Caste Ashby.

Now under new ownership, this upmarket pub has a classic country feel about it with a modern twist. It’s also a destination food venue offering higher-end cuisine at an affordable price.

The Red Lion is open for lunch and dinner every day and you can eat in the restaurant or bar area – or al fresco in spring and summer.

Here at the Red Lion, our aim is to source quality and fresh local ingredients for our dishes, producing food that not only looks amazing but really does speak for itself once tasted. We operate a fresh produce kitchen, which means our food is cooked to order and all made in our kitchens. We hope our menus appeal not only to classic pub food lovers but also to those who get excited about a twist on traditional favourites. Our Head Chef Emma has a huge amount of experience in menu development and taste profiling as well as creating stunningly delicious dishes. We understand the importance o

This is my third visit to The Red Lion, all at lunchtime. The pub was busy with a large group but the layout was configured so that they were slightly separated from us. The ambience is lovely, the staff friendly and the service good. The menu, using locally sourced produce where possible, is changed every month and is interesting but not too ambitious.

Excellent meal. We chose 2 of the boards. They were massive, we could have easily shared one. Lots of sea food and prawns. Excellent value. Will definitely return

Myself and a friend attended afternoon tea at the Red Lion . The staff were lovely and friendly and very welcoming . We sat on a table in the restaurant, the afternoon tea was presented in a lovely way and tasted as good as it looked . We was able to take home the food we couldn’t manage to eat , which was a great touch . Very good value for money in a very cosy setting Will definitely be visiting again

Arrived for a late booking for Sunday Lunch. Please wait we need to clear a table so we sat in the bar surrounded by uncleared tables. Clearly understaffed. Menu only had two choices of roast- beef and chicken. Beef was sold out. So two chicken then! when order was taken 20 mins later. Taken to table. Not asked throughout meal if we wanted further drinks. Envious of the earlier customers who were being given beef with a large individual Yorkshire. Meals served, No Yorkshire. When asked the server said he'd fetch some. A long time later a dish arrived with 4 overcooked individual Yorkshires. Are these Aunt Bessie's? Embarrassed smile. The roast chicken was really dry ( overcooked). Declined a dessert, paid and left. Not once did the server ask if all was OK. I think he knew.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We're sorry your visit didn't meet your expectations. You'll see from previous 4/5 star reviews on OpenTable and Google Reviews this is very uncommon. We'd like to rectify this, so if you'd like to re-book with us, we can offer 10% off your food bill (excluding drinks). Thank you. The Red Lion Team.
