About the Pub

This is a rare opportunity and a gem of a pub in a cosmopolitan and fast-moving part of London. It is family and dog friendly, offering beers by draught, cocktails and a large selection of premium spirits and wine. The Red Lion boasts an innovative selection of handmade sourdough pizzas with roasts offered on Sundays. Along with regular weekly entertainment such as quiz nights, live music, and DJs, this one of the best reviewed pubs in the area. The first-floor function room offers a great space for private functions, such as weddings and birthdays. The main trading area really brings a quirky and welcoming atmosphere to the pub, with up to 45 covers dotted around the space. The star of the show, however, is the garden, with a stretch tent, heaters, and a fire pit, this is a perfect spot to escape the hustle and bustle and enjoy some quality with friends and family all year round.

Regional Manager's Thoughts

The Red Lion is a charming little pub off Barking Road very close to the wonderful Central Park and East Ham High Street. It features a rather snazzy interior filled with neat period dressings and furniture, stripped wood floors and exposed brickwork making it feel deliberately well-worn. There is a fabulous outdoor area at the back of the pub with covered benches, which is a hidden treasure in this part of London and a great place to enjoy those lazy summer evenings, rain or shine. The pubs pizza offer is known as being one of the best in London and they also offer a selection of roast options on Sundays. This would be a suitable business for an experienced publican who is able to immerse themselves in the local area and community and come up with innovative ideas to grow the business on the solid foundations and reputation created by the current operator.
