Red Lion, Willingdon

Improve This Listing

Situated at the foot of the South Downs, this friendly village community pub, tied to Hall and Woodhouse, is popular with locals, walkers and other visitors. The separate dining room which can be used for functions, located at the rear, leads to a well-used split-level garden with good, solid covered wooden furniture. Excellent varied home-cooked food, using many locally-sourced ingredients, is available. Adjacent is a covered smoking area. The pub is a setting in George Orwell's novel 'Animal Farm', an interesting feature in the bar is an old local pub map showing original pub names.
