About this business

Nestled in the charming village heart of Mawnan Smith near Falmouth, the Red Lion is a proper family-run pub thats been pulling pints and dishing up grub since 1500. Picture a cosy thatched-roof gem born from three old cottages, now the beating pulse of the community with its crackling log fire, real ales on tap, and a menu packed with light bites, hearty mains, and tempting desserts. Food times are 12pm to 2:30pm and 5:30pm to 8pm daily, with gluten-free options to boot, and its famed for top-notch steaks that keep locals and passers-by coming back.

Tucked near the Helford River and coastal paths, its a walkers paradise in summer, warming up winters with that inviting glow. Family-friendly vibes make it spot-on for groups, pub quizzes, or just soaking up the friendly buzz, though no rooms here, plenty nearby. Swing by Carwinion Road for unpretentious Cornish hospitality that feels like a hug from an old mate.
