About Us

The Red Lion, Turners Hill, is a proud Harvey’s Brewery house full of charm and character. With its inglenook fireplace, horse brasses, and parquet floors, the pub has evolved from three separate bars into a welcoming L-shaped space perfect for enjoying a real ale.

A long-time favourite of beer lovers, it hosted the first North Sussex CAMRA meeting in 1974. Today, we serve home-cooked lunches, host quiz nights and live music, and offer a spacious garden. We’re proudly family-friendly — and dogs are always welcome.

Now under the care of Damian and Carly (since May 2024), the pub continues its warm, inclusive tradition at the heart of the village.

Home-cooked Food

At The Red Lion, we believe good food is at the heart of every great pub experience. Whether you’re visiting for a long, leisurely lunch, a relaxed family meal, or just a quick bite with your pint, our kitchen offers something for everyone — all freshly prepared with quality, locally sourced ingredients.

Our Main Menu features classic pub favourites, comforting seasonal dishes, and hearty meals to satisfy any appetite. The Light Bites Menu is perfect for those looking for something smaller — think fresh sandwiches, warming soups and traditional snacks served with flair. And for our younger guests the Kids’ Menu offers tasty, child-friendly options that are both wholesome and fun.

We’re proud to serve honest, home-cooked food in a welcoming setting — whether you’re by the fire in winter or enjoying the sunshine in our garden. Explore our menus below and discover what’s cooking at The Red Lion.

Great Coffee & Proper Tea

The Red Lion isn’t just about great ales — we also serve delicious, barista-style coffee and proper brewed tea, perfect for parents on the school run, walkers, cyclists, or indeed anyone in need of a warm pick-me-up.

Our coffee is made using a medium-dark roast, carefully crafted and UK-roasted with environmentally certified beans for a smooth, full-bodied flavour that suits every taste.

Beer Garden & Events

Nestled behind our historic 16th-century pub, The Red Lion’s beer garden is a much-loved spot in the village—a perfect blend of Sussex countryside charm and lively pub tradition.

Spacious and welcoming, it’s ideal for relaxed drinks, family lunches, and summer afternoons in the sun. The garden features a raised bandstand where we host live music, creating a vibrant yet laid-back atmosphere.

When the weather’s good we fire up the outdoor BBQ, serving up freshly grilled favourites alongside our range of Harvey’s real ales, crisp lagers, and spirits. Keep an eye on our events and facebook pages.

Dog-friendly and family-welcoming, the Red Lion beer garden is the place to enjoy community, music, and a proper pint in the fresh Sussex air.
