The Red Lion
The Red Lion occupies a prominent position on Retford's market square, and has done so for over two centuries. Beneath its historic exterior lies a dining room that punches well above its weight — precise cooking, generous portions, and a staff who understand the difference between service and hospitality.
The steak menu is the undisputed centrepiece, with dry-aged cuts served with the kind of quiet confidence that comes from doing one thing exceptionally well. The rest of the menu holds its own admirably.
