Want to run a historic pub in the picturesque village of Cassington?
Pub and Location
The Red Lion dates back to the 18th Century and sits in the village of Cassington, opposite the village green. It operates as a friendly traditional local pub loved by villagers and visitors alike.
The pub boasts a family- and dog-friendly garden, a catering kitchen, and an old-world feel. The pub is home to 12 sports teams and motorbike rallies throughout the year. You’ll love supporting local sports teams, though there is further scope to introduce a more regular offer.
The Red Lion features a long room spanning the width of the front, divided into three sections, with a traditional bar counter situated in the middle. Guests love the warm, rustic atmosphere, with a conventional snug featuring bar billiards to the left and an open fire on the right-hand side of the room. To the rear is a pool and darts area, a commercial kitchen, and then outside to a large garden complete with a children’s play area, an Aunt Sally throw, and two cabins, ideal for social gatherings in the warmer months.
Cassington is a small, picturesque West Oxfordshire parish of around 750 people, located approximately 8km northwest of Oxford. The local area is known as Ancient Vale, characterised by gentle rolling farmland, hedgerows, and historic woodland, which gives the area a peaceful, unspoilt feel. Much of the parish falls within the Oxford greenbelt to protect its countryside character. Access to Blenheim, Burford and other places to visit is within 30 30-minute drive.
Planned Investment
Now is an excellent time to take over the Red Lion as, subject to full approval, we are looking to create an outdoor covered area, complete with pergola and stretch tent to accommodate al fresco eating and drinking.
Private accommodation
