We had a great lunch at the Red Lion, with excellent service. We will definitely be returning at every opportunity. The location is second to none, and the beer is great. Try and sit at the well table for some added atmosphere.

We arrived when there was little custom and no one in the restaurant, we ordered our food which was steak, 45 minutes late our meal arrived with out our side which took another 10 minutes. Over priced and poorly staffed.

.............as myself & husband stayed overnight here a few years ago(Oct 2003).

Having had a long bracing walk with three dogs round the standing stones The Red Lion seemed the obvious choice for lunch. It wasn't our best pub experience! The sign above the door said guide dogs only so we presumed that we would have to eat outside. Not so. After freezing for half and hour (and still no food) we... More

Thought this pub was well worth a stop, even without the totally awesome scenery of the place then this pub is still worth a stop and look. Had a great value meal and sat outside and chatted to a few other visitors. Well worth a visit that is not too hurried

I visited this pub with my adult son, we were visiting the area to explore the standing stones having driven through here on business a few weeks before. From my drive through Avebury the Red lion looked like a promising old coaching inn and we were looking forward to roaring log fires and a cosy lunch...nothing could have been further... More

The staff were cortious and helpful and were polite too and although now... More
