The Red Lion in Egham

6/3/14

A little blog about a local pub. After being closed for about 15 months I received an invite to the launch evening.

new pub sign


The pub is leased from Punch Taverns and has undergone a serious refurbishment over the last month or so.

Outside the 2 corner doors on the high street have been replaced by one in the centre. As the building is listed restrictions are in place as what could be done.

I like what has been done. The bar has been moved. Nice wooden floor in place. Comfortable seating.

So what about the real ales? Six will be offered;3 bought direct from Punch and 3 from anywhere.
Last nights choices:





There is also a well stocked fridge full of bottled beers as well. I had the Portobello Star, Windsor & Eton Parklife and Dark Star American Pale Ale. All in top condition, a great start. Samples of the food menu were also sampled including chicken samosas and spicy thai fishcakes, very tasty.

Some friends of mine also decided to visit and we all agreed we would be back there again.
