The Red Lion

Located near the heart of Handcross Village, this expansive pub offers a unique blend of history and modern dining. The establishment places a strong emphasis on its culinary offerings, while also providing a selection of two guest beers. The building itself has a rich history, with the original structure dating back to 1280, before being reconstructed in 1540. In its early days, the pub was renowned as one of the most prominent coaching inns on the famous Brighton road. It also gained a reputation for mysteriously acquiring foreign liquors, which were rumored to appear overnight without the payment of duties. Adding to its historical charm, the pub features a small, panelled room which was once the secret meeting place of Lord Nelson and Lady Hamilton. This well-known establishment seamlessly combines its storied past with a focus on quality food and drink, making it a must-visit destination in Handcross Village.
