The Red Lion in Dodleston, an 18th-century country pub with a rich history dating back to 1737, invites you to experience its warm hospitality. Originally known as "The Red Lyon," this charming venue witnessed a historic battle between Irish and English farm labourers in 1845. In recent years, The Red Lion has gained recognition for its culinary excellence, winning Gold Awards at the Chester Food and Drink Festival in 2007 and 2008. The menu at The Red Lion offers a delightful selection of hearty favourites, country pub classics and seasonal dishes. Guests can indulge in their meals while enjoying the beautiful gardens or cosying up by the crackling log fires. With a well-stocked bar featuring cask ales, fine wines and British gin, this country pub is the perfect spot for after-work drinks or large group bookings. Additionally, every Tuesday, guests can test their knowledge with a live quiz. Whether you're planning a Christmas celebration or looking for a dog-friendly dining experience, The Red Lion near Chester is the ideal destination.
