The Red Lion stands at the village crossroads in Barnes, close to the London Wetland Centre and the Thames. A real fire inside and a leafy garden outside give the Fuller’s pub a welcoming setting for a family meal, a drink with friends or a private gathering.
Fresh, seasonal ingredients shape a menu of refined pub classics designed for a broad range of diners. Midweek selections change with the season, with dishes such as hummus with spiced lamb and coq au vin blanc illustrating the kitchen’s mix of familiar comfort and contemporary detail.
Sunday dining is an important part of the week, while a children’s menu served earlier in the day helps families eat together. The pub can also cater for celebrations in its dining space or garden, giving larger parties a practical option away from the main bar.
Fuller’s cask ales are joined by craft beer from London and beyond, plus lager, cider, spirits and wines from around the world. The combination of carefully kept beer, seasonal food and a long established neighbourhood setting gives The Red Lion the character of a proper Barnes local.
