Nestled away in the peace and tranquillity of the charmingly quipped Bun Lane, The Red Lion in Great Chatwell offers everything that is expected of a traditional British country pub. The 17th century public house has been delighting patrons for decades through its fine ales and even finer food offering, whilst more recently the venue has taken on hosting the good old British pastime that is the afternoon tea.
The three-tiered stands that are brought forth by the attentive bar staff are filled with a host of elegant and delectable treats that provide a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach. Diners are invited to sample an array of delicate finger sandwiches of various fillings before digging into one of a mouth-watering selection of homemade cakes. This is of course accompanied by the usual scone, jam and cream combo that really does round the experience off quite nicely This is all, of course, to be washed down with copious amounts of your choice of tea or coffee.
The pub is set in the middle of scenic countryside on the border of Staffordshire and Shropshire – within a small farming community – meaning The Red Lion at Great Chatwell have wonderful access to some of the best in locally grown produce. This in turn means that the picturesque village is ripe for exploration and makes the pub and restaurant the ideal stop off point for a spot of afternoon tea.
