About this space

Back Bar, Event Space in The Red Lion: a compact private back room notable for its surviving Victorian etched‑glass panels.

Design: The space shows dark timber panelling, a curved wooden bar counter and a low decorative pressed‑tin ceiling. The layout is narrow and intimate, with tall windows, high stools and ledge seating rather than an open floor.

Features: The area includes a fixed wooden bar counter and built‑in ledge seating with high stools. The room has Wi‑Fi, natural daylight from the windows and an installed PA system/speakers for music or announcements. Bar service and food‑at‑bar options are available from the venue.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking an informal, drinks‑led social gathering in an intimate, relaxed setting.

What guests say: The Back Bar is small and characterful and retains original period fixtures. The Back Bar has brisk, efficient bar service even when the pub is busy.
