| Not so much a pub, more a restaurant with a small bar area. Nonetheless there were three real ales on. Greene King (which I never touch!), Growler's Growler Bitter (3.9%), and Crouch Vale Brewers Gold (4.0%) The three of us who were drinking all opted for the Crouch Vale, a pale golden ale very reminiscent of Summer Lightning. and it was superb. A pint just slipped down before the starter arrived! We were having Sunday lunch and the place was very busy and the staff were obviously stretched but extremely friendly and patient. My roast beef was possibly the best pub roast dinner I've had for a long, long time. Beautifully cooked and so succulent. fellwalker - 1 Oct 2013 15:51 |

| Until recently one of my locals. Very nice place to go for a family meal or a quiet drink late evening after the diners have departed. There is usually a guest ale but the Adnams was always very drinkable until a weird new dispensing system was installed which gave one of my favourite beers a ridiculous northern style head, completely spoiling it. Being primarily a food pub the manager although very clubbable wasn't really into beer. scoobslabrador - 14 Apr 2008 16:24 |
| There must be two Red Lion pubs in Leavenheath.. the one I went to a couple of years ago was a timewarped 1950's, gloomy, unwelcoming dump. Swirly carpets false beams and full of loud golf club bores. anglia1 - 20 Nov 2006 15:08 |
