About

The Lost Pug is on Bottom Street in Northend, in Warwickshire, in the country below Burton Dassett Hills Country Park. The building was the Red Lion, and it stood closed for a couple of years before Pug Pubs took it over in 2024.

It opens at 9am every day, and the kitchen runs from noon to 9pm, or 6pm on Sunday. The garden faces west for the sunset. In February 2026 the weekly list ran to pizza deals on Monday, a quiz on Tuesday at 8pm, burgers on Wednesday and half-price fizz on Friday, so check what is on now. A festive menu for 2026 is on sale.
