About us

The Red Lion is a pub in the heart of Bloxham, just a few minutes drive from Banbury on the A361 to Chipping Norton.

Now completely renovated, the pub offers great food with a range of well kept ales and lagers, a specially selected wine list and an exceptional range of coffees and artisan teas.

With a huge sun-trap of a garden, easy access for wheelchairs and off road parking, The Red Lion is the ideal destination, whatever the occasion.

Paul has already gained two Rosette’s for his cuisine but he puts those down to his father, “My father was a great chef, I simply aspire to be as good as him”.

Prior to The Red Lion, Paul says the best restaurant he’s worked in is Thackeray’s in Tunbridge Wells where he worked with Richard Phillips (who opened the Restaurant and is now a regular TV chef too)

Recent awards have included Aylesbury Vale Food Pub of the Year 2015 and runner-up in Flavour of the South restaurant of the Year 2014

His favourite food is a Pear, Brie & Honey sandwich and he says he never cries because he doesnt have an emotional bond with onions. His favourite tipple is a glass or two of Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

What a fabulous find! This was our first visit and we celebrated a family birthday and had the loveliest of evenings. The food was first class, we had starters and mains but couldn’t manage desserts we were so full. Beautifully cooked and presented, it was one of the nicest dinners out we have had in a long time. The service was exceptional, professional, friendly and attentive we couldn’t have been better looked after. Thank you to the whole team at the Red Lion you smashed it! We look forward to coming back soon!

We met up with friends who we hadn't seen for several years. The interior looked very smart but as it was a lovely day we sat outside. The food & service were excellent. Would recommend The Red Lion to anyone.
