Undoubtedly one of the oldest buildings in Mawnan Smith, this thatched, cob walled public house, converted from three cottages, is documented to date back as far as the 15th century. The first recorded landlord was Walter Lowry in 1695, when it had a small holding alongside and a brew house. The Red Lion is reputed to have one or several ghosts, and although mishievous it doesn't detract from the pub's traditional warm welcome, offering you excellent food, ale and international wine. The pub, which has three open log fires and car park facilites, is open daily all year from 11am - 3pm and 6pm - 11pm, with food served from 12pm - 2:30pm and 6:30pm - 10pm. There is smoking and non-smoking dining areas and a separate restaurant where we offer a full a la carte menu, daily specials menu and bar snacks for all the family. We aim to use local, organic produce with fish one of our main specialities. On a Sunday we have a traditional roast, with a two course meal costing £6.95, and in summer we offer an all you can eat buffet for just £4.95. We offer an international wine menu, as well as a good selection of national and Cornish guest ales, such as Skinners' Cornish Knocker and Sharps' Doom Bar. The pub, which is featured in the Good Food Pub Guide and Good Beer Guide, runs theme nights, has pub games and holds a quiz evening every Tuesday when a gallon of beer is up for grabs! Set in the village of Mawnan we are ideally situated for visitors to Trebah Garden, Glendurgen Garden and Carwinnion Garden, as well as Argal Reservoir and Budock Vean golf course. There is also the three nearby beaches of Durgen, Maenporth and Barr to explore. For more details and reservations please call.
