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..","diningStyle":"Casual Dining","publicTransit":"","executiveChef":null,"entertainment":null,"cateringDetails":null,"website":"https://www.the-red-lion-at-bloxham.co.uk/","hoursOfOperation":"Mon–Thu 10:00–23:00\n Fri, Sat 09:00–23:00\n Sun 09:00–20:00","parkingDetails":null,"parkingInfo":"Private Lot","dressCode":"Business Casual","crossStreet":null,"additionalDetails":[],"paymentOptions":[],"type":"GuestCenter","stateId":1,"maxAdvanceDays":90,"rooms":null,"editorialLists":{"correlationId":"c18c4dc2-dbf4-41dd-a7ac-449f6f871936","lists":[],"__typename":"EditorialLists"},"mostRecentReview":{"reviews":[{"text":"Superb food, very good service from the young staff and a warm and welcoming ambiance.

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.

We chose this pub as they are dog friendly and close to Banbury but were found the food was also very good with a great choice for Sunday lunch which was not restricted to roasts. At one point it was a little bit noisy but we had a great round table in the window (there were 5 of us) which was perfect for the dog. Definitely would recommend and likely to use again if we needed somewhere in that area.

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.
