When we visited Avebury to see the stones and we had lunch in a pub called Red Lion Inn. It is located on the A361 between Swindon and Devizes and just few minutes walk from the Avebury Stone Circle which is known as one of the Worlds Heritage Site and just half a mile away from the National Trust Museum. Very convenient location if you’re on the place looking for something to eat, unwind relax and wait for friends and family while looking round the old stones and museum.
It was nearly dinner time and the pub starts to get full packed by locals and tourists. We luckily found a table inside the pub next to an 86 feet well that is around 400 years old. They are the only inn in the whole world positioned with inn a stone circle. You need to go to the bar/till to order the food and of course pay after ordering so my boyfriend done that and brought back some beer with him for the two of us. I ordered Cheese and Bacon Burger for £8.59 and he had platter of veggies, an apple, brown bread, ham, some dips and a pie.
The service was quite slow but understandable as it was around dinner time and lots of orders are ahead of us so we just enjoyed our drink, waited for our food and of course had a little chat. Not that long, the food arrived and as always, we munched it because we are really starving and finished it all with no crumbs of bread or leftovers in the dish.
It was a nice experience for me to try to dine in a traditional Old English inns/pub. It was a memorable day not just I had a tour around one of the worlds heritage sites but also a privilege to try an English food in a very old well-known pub chain in England.





Tnx for the likes guys! Much appreciated!
I’m glad you liked Avebury!
I do like Avebury apart from a very long walk. Hehehehehe
that inn looks like ones in some old movies…
Looks like a great place to visit. And don’t worry, walking a healthy practice to support campaign on global warming – you don’t burn gas with your car.
i love the last photo. ganda ng restaurant nila, ay english pub ba dapat. =)
The cheese and bacon burger looks so tasty! And I love that last photo of the Red Lion Pub..
Wish I can visit England in the future.
Gorgeous place, great food. It looked so good with you eating it. Sigh.
wow that 86 ft well is really cool!
That platter is big!
the burger looks chunky and juicy!
My attention was caught up with that well. I was just amazed that they put some lighting into it. =)
yes. there are loads of pubs like that in the UK. Very old yet going still. Tnx for dropping by!
You got point there and if you go in these types of places you got no choice but to walk if you want to see those hundred year old stones. Tnx for dropping by!
heheheheh. old tingnan pero ganda2x parin. galing2x kasi nila mag maintain. tnx sa visit.
It was lovely Sumi and I am pretty sure that you will visit England one of these days. Have faith!
Tnx Ms Kathy for the visit. Its is a very gorgeous place, indeed. Masarap na ang food, relaxing pa masyado.
Yes, an 86ft well turned into a dining table. Very unique diba? tnx for the drop by.
It is big yes but my bf manage to eat it all. He was hungry after a tour around
Stonehenge, Woodhenge and done the half part of Avebury stone circle. hehehehe.
Yes! That was the highlight of the pub. Each tourist that dine or visits the pub always ended up in this well taking pictures and reading its history. Was my first time to see a pub with a well as we always visit pubs in England every time we go on a holiday.
England…aaaah, I long to be in this place!!! <3
But anyway, this pub looks really interesting–with that 86feet well alone! Ha! XD And the servings look really generous. Now I'm even more jealous. haha! Kidding.
Dont get jelly! haahahha. Im sure one day you will visit England and experience what i have experienced.
I personally prefer pubs over fine restaurants. I like being comfortable and loose while eating eh. And the prices are more friendly
Love your travel posts!!! <3
I like what they did to the 86 feet well ,a table to relax and eat. And the place is so awesome.
creepy…86 ft well
but dying to see that one ..more pics please!
)
that’s one cool table!
Yes! I agree, pubs for me is very traditional and very good place to hang out. They do serve good food and worth the rpice I can say. Tnx for the visit Ayzee!
Yes, very unique. They are the only pub/resto in England that has a well indoors. Its a bit scary for me to sit and eat there cos its looks very deep! hehehehehe
Creepy indeed! I will check if I got more picture of this pub and will share it with you.
really cool! cheers! xxx
wow what if I accidentally dropped my keys there? Oh well ha ha ha that will be the day that a rope and a flashlight will be a very valuable tools. Can you bring me there please? =)) I want to try the food there.
would love to experience that too. nothing beats eating local food in that setting…
