Our Story

A Freehouse, forever
in the family.

"A bucolic spot on the banks of the Avon — where big, natural flavours meet classic cooking technique."

The Red Lion at East Chisenbury is an idyllic 18th-century country pub and restaurant with riverside accommodation, set in the gentle folds of the Vale of Pewsey. We are conveniently situated for those looking to visit Stonehenge or travelling down the A303 — yet a world away from the rush of the road.

Family-owned and run since 2008, our reputation as a gastronomic destination is built on a love of ingredient-led cooking, classic technique, and the kind of warm welcome that turns first-time visitors into regulars. Recognised in 2013 with a Michelin Star, we remain Wiltshire's only pub to hold 3 AA Rosettes.

The Dining Room
The Cellar & Bar

Hand-pumped ales,
home infusions,
& bottles worth the journey.

The bar at the Red Lion is the heart of the house. Local, hand-pumped beer and cider sit alongside a wine list shaped over years of careful cellaring — every glass chosen to sit with the food that leaves our pass.

Beyond the cellar, expect delicious cocktails, home-made drinks and a quietly excellent by-the-glass list that rewards the curious.

Hand-Pumped
Local Wiltshire ales & ciders, drawn straight from the cask.
Fine Wines
A deep cellar of European classics & New World discoveries.
House Cocktails
Seasonal infusions and revivals, mixed with restraint.
Home-Made
Cordials, ferments & soft drinks crafted in our kitchen.
