Red Lion Inn, Hawksheadback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Less than a minutes walk behind the Kings and you reach the Red Lion, the 2nd pub to appear in the current GBG.
A completely different pub to the Kings, even though it sells food all day and has a separate lower level dining room its definitely more of a pub.
An L shaped bar with 5 hand pumps, one empty, one coming soon with the other 3 having Cumbrian ales on, I had a couple of very well kept pints of Cumbrian Legendary Ales Ryedale Red Ale @ 4.3%.
The bar is wooden panelled with a solid wooden top.
We ordered a late lunch and the food was excellent , very fresh and good value for money.
The Red Lion is a nice pub, this is just from a 2 hour visit on a very wet and miserable Friday afternoon, better than the Kings for me as its more of a pub.

Excellent pub, one of four in the village of Hawkshead. Found the ales in great condition, fair price and the staff and locals alike very friendly. If its a nice day, sit in the beer garden and watch the world go by.

Food was expensive when we went, but very, very good. Service was spot on as well Can't wait to go back.

Very friendly old pub a bit off the beaten track so fewer tourists. 6 Ales in good order. Only had a sandwich for lunch and thought �5 for 2 slices of bread with tuna mayo filling, a bit of salad and 6 chips not very good value for money, though. Rather spoilt the occasion. Pity!

The Red Lion is a welcoming pub in the picturesque Hawkshead village. It serves three Jennings beers and a guest beer � which was Coniston Bluebird on my recent visit. The beers are well kept, and the pub seemed to be popular with locals and tourists alike. The pub itself is very comfortable and there is a beer garden as well. The Red Lion is well recommended and a nice alternative to the nearby Kings Arms.

Good atmosphere and seemed to be used by real working lake folk. Beer was good as well.
