How time flies!

Well it’s been six months since we took over the Red Lion and as predicted
it’s been a steep learning curve. Although I’m sure we still have a lot to learn, I think we are getting the hang of this pub malarkey! 

Thank you to everyone who came for a meal in the early days and came back!   The kitchen is a lot more settled now, the cooking being shared between Sally, who cooks great traditional English food and Youmna, who is from the Lebanon and is particularly talented at North African and Mediterranean dishes (as anyone who came to our Moroccan evenings will testify!) 

I am really grateful to Alison who had worked here with Bill for some time and was invaluable in helping us get started and is staying on the team as ‘reserve chef’.
