The Red Lion - Salisbury
 
HISTORY: The Red Lion is possibly the longest running purpose-built hotel in England. It was built over 750 years ago to house the many draughtsmen working on the nearby cathedral. During recent times, many modern facilities have been added to the hotel without spoiling its unique character and atmosphere. There is a fine collection of antiques throughout the hotel -- especially the many clocks -- including 'Parliament Clocks' and, in particular, the 'Skeleton and Organ Clock' in the reception hall. In fine weather, you can dine al fresco in the magnificent vine-covered courtyard.

BAR: In the comfortable bar, there is a large selection of sandwiches and baguettes, as well as an extensive menu of interesting hot and cold dishes.

RESTAURANT: The restaurant has a delightful ambience with its fine china collection and "wattle and daub" walls dating back to the 13th century. There is an extensive choice on the menu of both English and Continental cuisine, with starters such as baked tomatoes and melted mozzarella or quenelles of prawn and chive mousse, followed by braised lamb shank, grilled duck breast, poached salmon and seabass, plus pasta dishes. Choux swan chantilly, lemon mousse or crème brúlée, are some of the tempting desserts available. Food is also served on Sundays, which includes a choice of roasts, and there is a comprehensive wine list to savour. .
