The Garden

The Red Lion’s generous beer garden sprawls across the back of this characterful old pub, warmed by heaters when the evening chill sets in—perfect for lingering over a pint as the Chilterns rise behind you. Inside, low ceilings and period timber create that properly lived-in atmosphere, with a wood-burning stove casting warmth through the cooler months, whilst the outdoor space truly opens up when the weather turns kind, offering plenty of room to settle in with friends, dogs (very much welcome here), and a carefully curated selection of local ales. The pub sits at the heart of Chinnor, an ideal rest point for walkers and wanderers, and the regular arrival of quality local food vans means you can eat well without the pub needing its own kitchen—a refreshingly honest approach that keeps things genuine and focuses attention on what they do best: good beer, genuine hospitality, and the kind of countryside welcome that feels earned rather than performed.
