Company info

The Red Lion was bought by Gavin and Catherine Mills in 2015, at this time they went under a major internal refurbishment so they could offer the people of Wellingore and the surrounding area a modern country pub with traditional environment. We continually strive to change, adapt and improve all areas of the business and we are lucky to have a great team of staff that will help make your visit a pleasure!

Property info

The Little Lion Inn is situated above the family-run Red Lion pub. Renowned for serving fine ales and a family friendly atmosphere, the Little Lion Inn is perfectly situated for all those looking for a home away from home. Wild Cat Pizza & Kitchen is located in the The Red Lion beer garden, just down the stairs from your room. Serving traditional stone-baked Italian thin crust pizzas, stretched by hand and prepared with a variety of delicious toppings. Also serving burgers, a wide variety of side dishes, deserts and drinks. With the accessibility, we are also happy to deliver food straight to your room.
