The Red Lion

About

The Red Lion is a charming, family‑run pub that has been welcoming the local community and travelers alike since the 16th century. Located on Carwinion Road in the picturesque village of Mawnan Smith, Cornwall, the thatched‑roofed establishment offers a relaxed, dog‑friendly atmosphere with spacious outdoor seating and a cozy log‑fire for winter evenings. The pub’s menu reflects its heritage and local produce, featuring hearty traditional pub classics such as steamed fish & chips, steak of the day, and a range of modern light bites and burgers. Seasonal specials are highlighted on the board each day, and patrons can enjoy affordable meal prices starting at just £3.50. Daily menus are served from 12:00 pm to 2:30 pm and again from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm, with a full range of real ales, lagers, ciders, wines and spirits available. Beyond dining, The Red Lion serves as a vibrant community hub. It hosts monthly pub quizzes (entry £2 pp with portion of the pot donated to charity) and offers a booking service for larger parties via an online reservation form. A small car park and ample seating outdoors make it an ideal stop for walkers on the nearby coastal paths, while the friendly staff and central 360° bar provide entertainment for locals and visitors alike.
