About the Lazy Lion (Formerly The Red Lion)

In July 2019, what had been The Red Lion for many years was renamed The Lazy Lion.

This historic listed village landmark was built as a Georgian inn. The pub was later extended into the former stables and hayloft and the front entrance has a porch with Doric pillars.

The large bar has a central open fireplace and the pub is renowned for serving hearty, home-cooked, refined and tasty breakfasts, lunches and diners.

The pub also has three en-suite B&B rooms that face the large lawned garden with a children's play area to the rear of the pub. 

The extracts below are from an article published by the Milford on Sea Historical Record Society, written by Ron Kirby in 2018. To read the full article, please click here.

The original Red Lion was opposite where the ‘Old House’ is today on the Lymington Road. It was demolished in 1787, and shortly afterwards re-opened in a cottage on its present site. By 1795 the appearance of the Red Lion was very similar to today. 

Alfred Cole tells the story during the Crimean war [1854 to 1856], when some Irish Militia who were based at Hurst Castle were enjoying a pint in the Red Lion and became a bit boisterous. George Barnes asked them to behave or else he would bring in his small army. When they continued, George went outside and threw his beehive into the bar and they all fled.

The old stables have now been absorbed into the pub itself, you can still see the hayloft door at first floor level. In the 1950s and 1960s, Spreadburys had that part of the stables which was beneath the hayloft door as a hardware shop.
