Gobble til' ya Wobble !


Please forgive us, we couldn't resist it.
So, silly season is looming, this means our annual spiritual trip to the USA is around the corner, in the form of our, now well renowned, Thanksgiving Dinner. Now into it's ninth year here at The Red Lion, Barnes, although we personally, have been laying this on in our various establishments for nearer fifteen years, Oh how time flies when you have fun !
We like to look at Thanksgiving as the perfect prelude to Christmas, we decorate the pub for this day to give it the best possible feel for everybody & is definitely the most successful event of the year, infact as I write this on this date find ourselves half full on bookings already. The majority of these are regular faces that we see every year. Ninety five percent of our customer base is made up of American expats & locals to the Red Lion, living in & around Barnes.

Our menu is a mish mash of North & Southern food, the Cider glazed Turkey is accompanied by cornbread stuffing made from scratch, candied yams with marshmallows,mashed rutabagas & potatoes to name a few of the sides, rounded off with a generous slice of moreish, cinamony, traditional pumpkin pie.

By the way you don't have to be an American to appreciate this event, (but it does help if you can speak the lingo !)

The price per head is £20.00, with two sittings, the first at 17:30 is designed for the younger families with children & the second sitting at 20:30 is for adults only. We do serve half portions for the little ones.

If you want to Gobble till you Wobble, call us now.

Thanksgiving in Barnes

Brits !! Please don't be shocked.....

Regulars, & those in the know, are aware of one of biggest success stories in the form of our now famous Thanksgiving Dinner, not a gimmick, but a bona fide night for our friends from "across the pond" to celebrate their holiday away from home in our beautiful pub in wonderful Barnes. Always a sellout night with bookings rolling over from year to year & a true family occasion. Whether your an expat, tourist, or somebody just caught temporarily here in London you are more than welcome to spend an evening in the company of your fellow Americans (of which there are quite a few)
 We are now taking bookings. The menu is as authentic as it can be with a British cook in charge, but with eleven years of hosting this event under our belts I can truly say we do not do a bad job. If you fancy it, BOOK NOW or you will be disappointed.....really, do not hesitate.
