The Red Lion

Localisation

The Red Lion is positioned in a rural village a short distance off the A52 which serves Grantham, Sleaford and Boston locally. It is located in the heart of the village which offers stunning views across farmers fields and the site has a stream running adjacent to it. The area is littered with a wealth of things to do and see including; Grimsthorpe castle park, local museum’s, farm park’s and the coast is only under an hour away. It is a popular passing point for walkers and cyclists too.

Rez-de-Chaussée

The Red Lion is unassuming from the initial approach, and we would recommend internal inspection to appreciate its true size and characterful nature. The restaurant and bar area has approximately 85 covers with a flexible layout to cater for larger and smaller groups. With many of the building’s original features still very prominent it is a very comfortable space to enjoy a Sunday lunch or local beer. The good-sized commercial kitchen is well equipped, nicely proportioned and has lots of storage which would make a large number of covers easily managed.

Autres étages

To the first floor of the original building there is a characterful and well-maintained managers accommodation. It includes two/three good sized bedrooms, a lounge, kitchen and bathroom.

Function Room

The function room has been created from two former squash courts and boasts double height ceilings, windows and double doors to the gardens, creating a bright, spacious and relaxed venue for events. Weddings, parties, meetings and conferences have all been held in this space.

Chambres

There are three highly finished letting rooms as part of this venue; one to the ground floor, ideal for those needing disabled access and 2 further generously sized rooms to the first floor. All the rooms are ensuite, one with a free standing bath. All rooms have been recently decorated and have a good standard of fixture and fittings and would be a treat to stay in.

Les extérieurs

The outside space is pretty, has lots of spots for enjoying the food and drink and gives lots of opportunities for photos on any attended special occasions. There is also a large car parking area and more discreet access for deliveries.

Le bien

The Red Lion is a picturesque village pub conveniently positioned less than half a mile off the busy A52 running between Grantham, Sleaford and Boston. Offering several opportunities and potential income streams it also benefits from having Managers accommodation with two/three bedrooms. Dating back to the 1800’s, the venue has been recently updated and caters for local residents, passing walkers, cyclists and event attendees alike. This opportunity would ideally suit an experienced and entrepreneurial operator who wishes to benefit from the venues size and potential broad offering as it includes a generously sized bar/restaurant area backed by a well equipped commercial kitchen and appropriately proportioned ‘rear of house’, a sizeable modern function room and three letting rooms which have been used by the former tenant as a destination wedding and event space.

Performances de l'actif

The venue has more recently been leased and therefore there is no financial information available to share. The tenant vacated the pub in October 2024 and the pub has been closed since
