About the Business
Public House - The Red Lion | Nestled in the heart of Leytonstone, we are a Tardis of a pub – so much bigger on the inside! The Red Lion is the perfect pub for any occasion, from birthday parties in our spacious pub area to summer drinks in our amazing beer garden (arguably the best in East London!), to weddings and large private parties in our grand top floor ballroom.Our kitchen serves an ever-changing menu in keeping with seasonal produce and tastes. Our chefs use nothing but fresh seasonal ingredients. Don’t miss our Sunday roasts with a delicious selection of roast meats and equally delicious vegetarian fare, all dished up with Bloody Marys and board games. We have a selection of cask beers, botanical gins, and a range of draught and craft beer products to suit every occasion. Cider lovers never fear; we have a great range of keg, box and bottled ciders. With the more formal dining area combined with casual bar seating and our rather impressive beer garden (apologies for the humility!) you’re spoilt for choice. We offer table service inside and have a separate lunch and dinner menu. Keep an eye out for our artisan bar snacks perfect to accompany a pint with.We’re also going to be showing live music upstairs every week very soon so watch this space!!

I had a good Sunday roast with my family here today. It is a family friendly pub and spacious enough that you don't hear what the other people are talking about. The waiters and waitresses are also friendly and accommodating. We will definitely come back here again.

Very nice hotel, with a pub attached to it. There is live music in the evening from time to time. The location is a little bit far from the center, but is located close to a metro station, so one could get along easily.The service was very kind, we informed them that we are arriving in the middle of the night and they waited especially for us.

Decent pub with a range of beers and plenty of seating. I wish I had this kind of pub near me.

The place looks very old and dull from outside but the moment you enter you can feel a country side pub vibe and the staff are very friendly. Also there are games at late hours to engage the public and above all lovely live music.

We booked here as we have family living nearby and they highly recommended this hotel. Unfortunately the day before we are were due to arrive, my partner fell ill with covid. As it was so late, I fully expected the best case scenario to be offered a date change and worst case, having to pay the full room rate for the missed night. I phoned the hotel and the gentleman who answered could not have been more helpful or polite. He immediately cancelled the booking, said he would waive the fee and wished my partner a speedy recovery. We will definitely be staying and using the restaurant here in the future. Top notch customer. Service and given by a small company that could easily have been justified in not refunding given the short notice. Thank you!

One of the better pubs the Leyton/Leytonstone area. Only been for Sunday Lunch but atmosphere was comfortable and relaxed. Could have spent all day there.Had Beef roast, good meat (and generous) also the red cabbage was great. Spuds could have been more crisp and gravy could of had more power. Also had double cheese burger, cauliflower harrissa hummus, leek/cauliflower bake, pardon peppers, sausage roll. Sausage roll was the highlight. Everything else was good pub food but to take it to the next level could have done with everything being amped up a bit on the flavour.Very good prices on wine and local ales.

We had been to the 'Luna Lounge'' but not enjoyed it, as we needed to catch up and it was too loud. We moved on to the 'Red Lion'. I loved the comfy sofas and the atmosphere was chilled but with a good vibe. It was a Saturday and sport was happening on a TV screen somewhere.

Nice pub. Live music when we visited Sunday afternoon. Very good roast dinner. Great selection of vegetables. Generous adults and kids portions. Friendly staff.

1. Early afternoons at weekends: a swarm of lower middle class, ‘well behaved’, but staid individuals with baby buggies (sadly, including occupants) descend.By the end of their ‘sessions’, one can almost imagine the kids being decanted from the pushchair only to be replaced by one of the quaffing parents, the other one being tasked with pushing them home.2. The remainder of the time: a well-ordered, no-nonsense place. The staff are quite welcoming and efficient. I have never attended a live music event, but I hear that they are good.Food prices seem a bit pricey to me. Drinks are, of course, much more expensive than Wetherspoon’s, but then again, I suppose it’s a choice between a nice, calm, pleasant venue (i.e., here) or one that resembles, at times, a night shelter.There are no mirrors in the Gents- just as well considering the state of the men I’ve seen here.
