TGWG's Verdict
The Good Wine Guide“The Red Lion wine list offers an impressive balance of old-world heritage and vibrant new-world selections. From iconic Pomerol châteaux and prestigious Châteauneuf-du-Pape to crisp English sparkling offerings, the curation emphasizes expressive terroir. By-the-glass formats deliver remarkable flexibility alongside focused half-bottles from Burgundy and Beaujolais.”
Same value as the bottle — the 500ml glass (£22.00) has zero extra markup for ordering a single glass.
Priced close to shop price (est. £46 retail) — just a +6% markup compared to the usual 200%+ restaurant markup.
