About Us
A quintessential New Forest Pub, the Red Lion, Boldre sits on the
crossroads at the centre of the ancient village of Boldre. Dating back to around the 15th Century and mentioned in the Domesday
Book the Red Lion is an amalgamation of an old style forest public house, two old cottages and a stables.
Log fires, cosy beamed rooms, gardens for the summer, heated patios,
well kept cask ales and, most importantly, a genuinely warm welcome, this is a classic Forest pub not to be missed.
Look out for our monthly 'Pie and Pudding' evening. A choice of
6 or 7 home made pies and a homemade pudding from our board for £10. Next date Friday 3rd July - booking early is
very advisable.
New for Summer '09. Eat on our Patio at a 'hot table'. Book a hot
table and cook on the central hotplate at your own pace. The meat, fish, seafood and game is accompanied by
salad or chips, and dips, perhaps a bottle of wine or a jug of Pimms and lemonade? the perfect way to enjoy a sociable
outside meal with friends or family.
Dog and Horse friendly.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Red Lion.
Amanda and Alan.

I have no photos of the Hunt Room at present- please forgive me, I am new to editing a website and it all takes me so long
to do- I will update as soon as possible. Amanda)
