A beer house since 1836, the Red Lion continues to embrace its grain led origins, recently winning Cambridge CAMRA’s pub of the year award. Throw in a freshly cooked pub menu, four modern en-suite bedrooms, a cracking annual beer festival, pub teams galore (petanque, darts, crib) and a huge helping of community spirit and you’ll begin to see a little of what we’re about!

 

Tucked away on the outskirts of Cambridge and proudly located in the ever-growing town of Histon, we offer a great spot to drink, eat or stay regardless of the time of day or year!

HISTON BEER FESTIVAL

5th-9th September

 

We are delighted that, after a break of two years, the Histon Beer Festival is back! This year will be our 22nd festival, having raised a staggering £78,000 for charity since 1997… and drinking more than a pint or two of good local ales in the process…

 

Alongside the many, many beers, perries and ciders in The Red Lion’s back garden, we’ll be serving-up authentic Thai cuisine from Sam’s Thai Kitchen, cold delicacies from Histon Chop Shop, pizza from our pub’s own kitchen, a sizzling BBQ, and changing daily specials.

 

With a gang of hearty and generous volunteers behind the bar, we ensure that all proceeds from the Festival are donated to local good causes. Thanks also goes to the committee who work tirelessly to make the Festival happen. Come and join in the fun!
