Welcome to The Red Lion Inn
The Red Lion Inn in Milfield Village, Northumberland is a classic Wind Stone building dating back to the mid 1700's. Originally the Inn was frequented by the Sheep Drovers of the northern counties. Between 1785 and 1835 the Red Lion Inn became a major resting point for the Mail Stage Coach which carried passengers and mail between Edinburgh and London via Oldster and Newcastle.
The success of the Inn attracted other people to the area and soon the village of Milfield was born, building up around the Red Lion Inn to become the beautiful rural area it is today.
Iain Burn and Claire,his wife, know the value of tradition and welcome all travellers to the area offering them outstanding Cuisine, Great Beer and a Relaxing Atmosphere.
All the food served at the Red Lion Inn is prepared on the premises using ingredients produced locally. Fish from Newcastle and Eyemouth, Northumberland Cheese and the seasonal vegetables grown locally by the farmers in the surrounding area. Even the dreamy ice cream comes from just up the road.
When eating at the Red Lion Inn you can be sure of getting good wholesome home cooked food with no pre-packaged products at all. From your starter to your sweet, everything is prepared in the Red Lion's Kitchens.
Along side the finest Scottish and Newcastle Ales, over the last 3 years the Red Lion Inn has played host to over 130 guest beers. You can be sure of a decent pint without any loud juke box or large screen TV to disturb you, just gentle background music and great conversation.
The Red Lion Inn was founded on a very simple principle of offering all visitors a wholesome meal, good well kept beer and warm relaxing friendly surrounding in which to unwind. These very same principles are still in place today and will, as long as the Burns family are in residence, never be compromised.
