A Palmers pub

Palmers ales are brewed in nearby Bridport using water from their own naturally rising spring. We of course also serve lagers, wines and spirits as well as cider made from apples grown in an orchard less than a mile away and Black Cow Vodka, made two streets away!
We serve wonderful food made from fresh, locally sourced ingredients including the famous Beaminster banger from Nick Tett, the butcher just over the road from us! With the emphasis on quality and sustainability we serve lunch, including light bites, and dinner, teas, coffee and cake either in the bars or the WALLED GARDEN .

I
BEAMINSTER is a beautiful Dorset town. The Red Lion is in a conservation area and just walking the streets is a fascinating experience, seeing the gorgeous architecture (especially St Mary's church) and thriving independent shops. The peace of the open countryside is a minute away and there are endless walks and bridleways, the views are stunning. Ask us for maps and a picnic.
Beaches at Burton Bradstock and West Bay are a fifteen minute drive and that of course gives access to the rest of the spectacular Jurassic Coast .
THINGS TO DO
There are some stunning traffic free WALKS from here: we have maps!

A stunning piece of architecture
The art gallery opened in November 2022 and has proved to be a popular addition to the pub. It exhibits a wide range of works from local artists in many media. The wonderful wood carvings of Dave Budden reflect his love of the Jurassic coast and Trai Hiscock's vibrant local scenes featuring The Seniors will always make you smile. There is other work in many media from watercolour to collage and even biro and the work of landlord Bryan Greenwood.
It is open during pub hours so feel free to come and browse with a cup of tea or coffee.
The aim of the gallery is to encourage and help local artists so we don't charge a hanging fee just a small commission. If you would like to exhibit please get in touch with Bryan 01308 862364 info@theredlionbeaminster.co.uk
