I needed a single room for one night without it costing a fortune. The Red Lion ticked all the boxes and additionally provided off street parking at the top of the large beer garden. The Red Lion is a typical popular local historic pub serving good beer and pub grub. Breakfast was not included so I enjoyed a pleasant early morning short stroll to a lovely cafe opposite the harbour, where I received a 10% discount, as they have an arrangement with the Red Lion.

Needed somewhere to eat in Swanage after 8pm on a Sunday and decided to try the Red Lion. The food was delicious and Turk (hope I spelled that right!) was excellent. He was helpful, friendly and professional (as were all the staff to be fair!) and made sure we were well looked after all night. Highly recommend.

Bo oked a table which was actually not necesssary. Table beside us not cleared for the whole time we were there although the restaurant was very quiet. Had to find our own cutlery etc. Food very poor 1 meal out of 4 acceptable. Will not go again .

Ordered fish and chips... just ok. On tap beers varied and cold! Asked bartender to choose a lager and ale. Super choices!! Local and fresh. The service was so pleasant and attentive. Great to have pleasant and effective staff. We left very happy.... would recommend Red Lion for lunch!!
