Ihave just moved to Arundel and I visited the Red Lion as part of my Dog Friendly Pub research. Totally laid back for canine visitors, and our families can have a meal in the bar while we sit with them (and wait for treats). Full marks for dog friendliness

I popped into the Red Lion for the first time (in ages) a week ago, prior to a local folk club gig. It had certainly changed from the two-rooms-bar-down-the-middle layout of years ago. The beer front was disappointing - only 2 ales on pumps. One was not yet on, and the other was just on an a bit cloudy. However, the food was absolutely first class, beautiful local produce excellently cooked, at reasonable prices. The owner chatted to me for quite a while and seemed an enthusiastic and dedicated landlord; bar staff were friendly and attentive. Decor was a mix of comfy sofa seating and tables and chairs for eating. One to watch out for and keep an eye on.

Hmm... seems this site is way out of date now. There is NO dartboard, and NO jukebox. I didn't ask about the roasts though.
Came down to Arundel from London to go to a wedding two weeks ago on a Friday, so three of us girlies went out for a couple of drinks. The Red Lion was the first pub we visited, and was deffo the highlight of the pubs we 'trawled'.
Inside the pub is air and high-ceilinged - with plenty of seating... it was 7 on a friday when we arrived and wasn't too busy. The staff were helpful and really friendly, and there was no 'LOCALS ONLY' kind of atmosphere.. which was good. We had one round of drinks and a chat to the landlord who was really nice with out being over the top, and we decided to have a quick meal before we carried on.
The food was great and really fresh, my sirloin steak (rare) came with red cabbage, fried onions, homemade chips and green beans - and my friends were pleased to. Compared to London, exceptional value!

After one more drink we had a walk around the town. Every other pub was really cliquey and dirty, so we had a nightcap at the red lion...
There were loads of french people in the bar from a local restaurant and they said they refused to drink anywhere else 'cos all the other pubs were rude, and the landlord and his wife were at the bar being all 'hostie'...it was a great family atmosphere, and really girl-friendly. It was all good.

The new owner has really pulled this place around. Good food and clean. Excellent espresso. Watch the Leffe.

This once was a good pub !
Visited Sunday 15th October for the roast.....Oh how this pub has changed. The heart of the pub (the bar) has been ripped out along with the atmosphere and most of the locals. It now pretends to be a trendy bar. The price of beer has gone up, I paid £3.85 for a small glass of wine. Ordered 2 roast pork, sat down and waited and waited and waited. Others were sitting at tables with arms folded and fuming. Speaking to them they had been waiting an hour. We asked for our money back and after the barman spoke to the kitchen this was returned. No explanation or apology was forthcoming. We left vowing not to return. A town like Arundel does not need sudo trendy bars like this. This pub only exists to flease the tourists.
