The Red Lion, situated in the High Street, below the Bargate and within the old walled town of Southampton, is one of the oldest inns in the city.
The cellar is of Norman vintage dating back to the 12th century, but parts of the upper structure of the inn, which has been considerably altered, are of Tudor origin.

We decided to come here after seeing the photos and tour on this guide as it looked like it was steeped in history. It certainly is and the whole place is extremely atmospheric. The menu offers a large choice of food including pub favorites, steaks, pasta etc. however they also offer Indian cuisine as the pub is owned by the same owners as the Bayleaf Kitchen Indian restaurant which is next door. So the quality of the Indian food served here is far superior than any other pub we have visited.
