The Red Lion is a pub in the heart of Bloxham, just a few minutes drive from Banbury on the A361 to Chipping Norton.

The pub is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We pride ourselves with promoting local small craft breweries. From well kept Cask Ales, to fine premium Lagars and Weisens, to Belgium trappists and Lambics.

Our wine list has been specially selected to compliment our menu created by the award winning Nicholas Maloney, our Head Chef.

The Village is situated at the convergence of several country walks. As well as being next to the A361. The Red Lion provides a relaxed spot to stop and have a bite to eat on your travels. With a large garden and stretch tent, we are perfect for families and dogs.

Keep and eye out for our Live Music, Comedy Nights and soon to come Hog Roasts..

    We went to the Red Lion as a couple. Although the pub is not very pretty on the outside it certainly didn’t disappoint. The service was excellent-efficient and friendly and the food exceeded our expectations. We have booked again for a larger group to go in the next couple of weeks.

    We had a lovely late Sunday lunch at The Red Lion yesterday. The food was very tasty and well presented. Roast potatoes were crispy and the meat and vegetables were also delicious. Lovely cosy pub with delightful staff. Food and alcohol prices were very reasonable. Would definitely recommend.
