About
the Red Lion
Situated in the rural, picturesque village of Milfield, The Red Lion Inn is a classic stone building dating back to the mid 1700’s.
Originally frequented by the Sheep Drovers of the northern counties and became a major resting point for the Mail Stage Coach carrying passengers and mail between Edinburgh and London.
We’re located on the edge of Northumberland National Park, with the Cheviot Hills in walking distance; making us the perfect place to visit before exploring the area.

Diners can be assured of wholesome home cooked food, freshly prepared using locally sourced seasonal ingredients. Come and visit us and try our menu.

What People Say
Fiona
FROM TRIPADVISOR
“We went here for drinks and supper in the sunshine on bank holiday Monday. Menu had lots of choices plus a light bite section too. Both our meals were served quickly and were very tasty and well presented. Menu is not over priced and we would certainly return if in the area again. A lovely old pub in a nice little village!”

FROM TRIPADVISOR
“We ate here last night as we were staying at the B&B over the road. We had garlic mushrooms and chicken goujons to start and fish and chips for mains and sticky toffee to share for pud. Was really tasty homemade pub grub and lovely attentive staff! Would recommend if you’re in the area.“

During the Spring Lockdown, we felt that the locals shouldn’t have to miss out on meals and we just couldn’t close the kitchen for good!
