Gather your favourite people and raise a glass to the year ahead at The Red Lion, Histon. Whether you’re settling in for a celebratory meal, enjoying a few festive drinks by the fire, or toasting to new beginnings, there’s no better place to welcome 2027.
We’ll be serving great food, perfectly poured pints and seasonal tipples throughout the celebrations, making The Red Lion the perfect spot to eat, drink and ring in the New Year.
