Enjoy Delicious Seasonal Dishes At The Red Lion

There are many reasons to come and see us here at The Red Lion, but if you’re looking for the best pub lunch in Bedford then you really are in the right place! We pride ourselves on producing delicious dishes using seasonal locally sourced produce… and you can certainly tell from looking at our menus that we are very passionate when it comes to food.

Devising our menus based on the seasons is something we’ve always done and there are all sorts of benefits to eating in this way. One of the biggest benefits of eating seasonally is that it’s a brilliant way of reducing your carbon footprint and creating a more sustainable food economy - while helping to support local businesses at the same time.

The next time you’re in the supermarket, take a look at where some of your favourite ingredients are from. You might be surprised at just how far they’ve travelled - and importing produce can really take its toll on the environment. Eating seasonal food grown right here in the UK means the carbon footprint of your diet is significantly reduced.

It’s also better for you health-wise to eat seasonally, since produce harvested at the right time means it keeps all of its nutrients and vitamin content.

And you can enjoy a really varied diet because produce changes with the season… since it’s spring, you can now fill your plates with the likes of artichokes, asparagus, celeriac, peas - you’ll have a great time trying out different dishes season by season.

Once lockdown is over, come and stay with us here at The Red Lion to find out just how delicious our food is.
