About
The Red Lion is on The Green in Adderbury, an old inn with exposed brick, stone chimney stacks and oak beams that Greene King describes as Grade II listed and serving the village since the 17th century. St Mary's Church is the sight to walk to from here.
It keeps long hours. Breakfast starts at 7am on weekdays and 8am at weekends, and the kitchen runs through until 9pm every day. The food is a Greene King pub menu with a Sunday roast from £14.45, a children's menu, and deals that change through the year, and the bar pours Greene King beers such as IPA and Flint Eye with craft ales and wines. Walk-ins are welcome, but the pub recommends booking, and parties over six should call. Festive bookings take a deposit.
There is a beer garden and space for private functions. Dogs are welcome on a lead and kept off the furniture, at the manager's discretion.
Rooms are sold through Greene King Inns, and the pub's pages give no count or times. Booking sites (Expedia and Hotels.com) show them with free Wi-Fi, free parking, a check-in from 2pm and no pets, and say there is no front desk, so confirm arrival times and dogs with the inn if those matter. For a Hook Norton pint and a garden, the Bell Inn is on the High Street.
