Here at The Red Lion we are loving the fact that spring has sprung and we have been really busy.
We are pleased to announce that late last year we won CAMRA Pub of the Season for our real ale offerings and we have also been shortlisted for Pub of the Year so fingers crossed. If we don’t win, just to be nominated again is such great news for recognition of what a great village pub we have here.
We have some fabulous live music coming up so please add the dates to your diary as we would love for you to join us. Remember, we never charge for live music but we do pay the bands so your support on these nights is greatly appreciated. The bookings we have are all given below (and on page 24) so please check them out. They are all Sundays and they will all follow our 6pm meat draw, so be sure to arrive earlier to get your tickets.
We are also super excited to announce we have secured the date for this year’s ‘Party in the Pub’ - Saturday 12 July. We have four great live acts. Opening up the show will be the amazing Tubthumpers from the village, so please pop this date in your diary, get yourself a sitter if needed, and free up your afternoon and evening to spend the later part of the day with us. I will post more details of the day very soon. Please look out for our socials and email postings.
If you are new to the village and would like to be added to our email list, please send an email request to join to info@theredlionbrightwell.co.uk and we will add you and promise no spam from us! That’s all for now, thank you to all those that continue to support the pub and we are looking forward to a very busy summer.

We hope to see you over the BH weekend, the pub will be open all day on Friday, Saturday & Sunday and we would love to see you.
On the Friday we will be open from 10.30am serving a wide selection of our homemade cakes and savoury goods until they sell out. Lunch will be from 12-2pm and then tables for supper will be from 5.30-8pm with last orders into the kitchen by 8.15pm. On Saturday we are open 12-10pm with lunch and dinner being served and then Easter Sunday, we open 12-9pm with lunch from 12-3pm. Please book your table now if you plan on joining us on Easter Sunday as we will get booked up and we would to have to disappoint you by being full.
Once lunch is over, we will then get ready for our bumper meat draw at 6pm and on top of this, we have our Easter draw where we have Easter Hampers and other sweet treats up for grabs. The sheet is up in the pub and numbers are selling fast so be sure to pop in and buy tickets. They cost just £1 each and we will have some great prizes for you.
When we have finished giving away all the prizes we have the fabulous Jamie Felton coming to entertain you so please come on down with your friends and join us for some excellent live music. As always there is no charge for entrance but we cannot put these live acts on without getting the support from you guys coming to listen so pop the date in your diary, grab a sitter and have a great night with us!
As always, we will be closed all day on the Monday for ours and the staffs day off and for time for us all to enjoy a little bit of the long weekend :)
