Welcome to The Red Lion, a pub & restaurant in Stratford-upon-Avon.

Pub | Dining | Garden

Situated in an enviable canalside location, The Red Lion is a beautifully restored, dog-friendly pub nestled in the heart of Stratford-upon-Avon, just moments from the Royal Shakespeare Company.

Set within a Grade II listed building, our pub is the perfect blend of historic charm and thoughtful design.

Inside, you’ll find a warm and spacious bar, an elegantly styled dining room, and a large garden with tranquil views of the canal – perfect for a relaxing afternoon drink or atmospheric al fresco dining.

Whether you’re enjoying a quiet pint, a delicious Sunday roast, or a celebratory dinner with friends, our passionate team is here to make your visit memorable.

We take pride in serving seasonal menus, perfectly poured pints and a carefully curated selection of wines and spirits. We’re not just a pub, we’re a home from home.

We look forward to welcoming you soon!

Best wishes from all at The Red Lion x

Parking at The Red Lion

We want your visit to The Red Lion to feel relaxed from the moment you arrive and that includes making parking your car as clear and easy for our guests as possible.

If you are visiting us by car, please remember to register your vehicle on arrival. It only takes a moment and helps make sure parking is reserved for those joining us. 

If a car is not registered, a Parking Charge Notice may be issued, so it’s worth checking this is done before you get comfortable. 

If you are unsure where to register or need a hand, just ask a member of the team. We are always happy to help and would hate parking to distract from a relaxed visit with us.
