A Palmers pub

The Lion's Den

Beaminster and surrounds

Other stuff

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 and coffee as well as sandwiches and Dorset cream teas in the afternoon.

Located upstairs, The Lion's Den is an entirely separate sports bar. There is SKY SPORTS, showing football, rugby and other sports, a dart board and a pool table. There will be comedy nights, open mic nights and live music - rock, R&B, folk and jazz. 

OUR FIRST OPEN MIC NIGHT WAS A GREAT SUCCESS SO WILL NOW BE FIRST THURSDAY OF EVERY MONTH. NEXT ONE 8PM  7 OCTOBER . 

Reserve a slot by emailing tweedjacketmusic@gmail.com or phone the pub on 01308 862364

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 and thriving 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 . 

There is a WALLED GARDEN  and SKITTLE ALLEY; the FUNCTION SUITE can be used for friends and family celebrations and PARTIES or business meetings and classes such as yoga, arts and crafts etc.  We can talk about OUTSIDE CATERING, do fabulous celebration CAKES, PICNICS as well as TAKEAWAYS (during normal kitchen hours)
