COVID Safety
& The Red Lion takeaways
We are thrilled to be able to offer our customers takeaway versions of their menu favourites, however it is important that we all stay safe. To help us achieve this, please pay close attention to the advice put in place by the government, and keep in mind the following:
- Please do not visit us if you feel unwell or exhibit any symptoms associated with COVID-19.
- Please pay close attention to any signage or instructions given by our team.
- Please note we will be accepting card only, and only accepting payment and orders via phone.
- Our takeaway service is available Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday 5-9pm & Sunday 12-5pm.
- Sundays are pre orders only: All orders for Sunday collections must be fully pre ordered by 9pm on the Friday before.
- All orders can be placed at any time from 3pm-9pm Wednesday to Saturday. You will be given or can request a time slot for collection.
We will try to accommodate your preferred collection time, but to ensure social distancing we are trying to reduce the numbers at peak times.
Thank you for your understanding in these difficult times.
Gav, Nix & the Team.
About us
A few words
about our friendly village pub
The Red Lion is a warm and welcoming friendly pub run by Gavin, Nicky and their team. Nestling at the foot of the South Downs in the beautiful village surroundings of Willingdon, you can enjoy delicious freshly prepared food and well-kept beers. The Red Lion is famously mentioned in George Orwell’s novel “Animal Farm”. We also welcome accompanying children and well behaved dogs.
We do offer a children’s menu with a variety of healthy options. For all our younger guests that clear their plate, we will offer them a complimentary ice cream for dessert. So why not come and visit us? Soak up the atmosphere over a drink and some food, whilst relaxing in the bar and restaurant.
When the sun is shining, there is nowhere nicer to wish away your afternoon other than in our south western facing beer garden.
Cold outside? We offer a cosy village pub atmosphere with log burner which rarely ceases to burn through the winter months. The Red Lion is located off the A22 into Eastbourne. The nearest train stations are Hampden Park (1.3 miles), Polegate (1.8 miles) & Eastbourne (2.5 miles).
Opening times for drinks:
Monday – Thursday 12pm – 3pm, 5pm – 11pm.
Friday – Saturday 12pm – 11pm
Sundays 11am – 10pm
