About Red Lion

Old-school pub with wooden booth seating, outside tables, real ales on tap and a typical bar menu.

Known as Stage Six (Ealing Studios originally having five stages), the Red Lion was the watering hole of the good and the great of the British film industry during the Ealing Comedy era. The BBC followed with Z Cars, Porridge and Colditz along with many other classics. The pub’s interior is testament to this long association with photographs on several walls. The original pub which preceded the current Victorian building provided discreet refreshment for the vicar of St Mary’s whose church was just along the road. The walled garden is ideal for larger parties in the summer and heated with braziers during the winter. The pub is now operated by the same management as the Andover Arms in Hammersmith.

    Had lunch there today. New summer menu and we all ordered different things and shared. It’s all fantastic. Not a single bum note. Salt cod salad was sharp, Mediterranean and tasty. Giant couscous salad was fresh and light and the gazpacho was world class. Also has the steak sandwich with chimichurri which was exceptional. Lovely and reasonably priced bottle of rose and friendly and relaxed front of house team. We were inside but I could smell delicious barbecue smells Sadly we were too early for the barbecue and smoked meat, but the chef took us out to show what he was preparing…

    Reopened by new owner. Atmosphere hasn't been changed much with lots of old actors & actress pictures from BBC studio near by the pub. Sunday roast is tasty and just right size, but presentation is ordinary. Good service and friendly staff. Parking is free around there at weekend. Dog friendly and the owner has 2 cats in the rear garden.

    I visited here on Saturday 20/01/24 with my Husband for food and drinks. We had the tomahawk steak to share, with salad, chips and bone marrow to share, espresso martini, a glass of wine and a beer. The food service and pub was amazing. Levi, our server was 10/10, explained everything, provided great service and we will definitely return. Great Pub!!

    One of my favourite in Ealing. After the refurbishment everything inside works much better. The space is well organised and more cosy. Nice staff and an outstanding menu that gives a twist to the usual pub grub. The beer garden is, colourful and enjoyable leaving for a friendly chat or a big group of friends. I’d suggest to give the possibility to choose the cooking time for wagyu burger as it’s a very apwacial meat.

    I visited the pub last Friday with the friend. We tried their ox-cheek pithivier with creamy mash and the pasta. Both were extremely tasty and worth the money. The apple crumble to finish with what a good end to the day. The pub is got a cozy vibe and the cocktails are amazing. Food and service was a 10/10 . Will definitely visit again.
