About The Red Lion

The Red Lion is a country inn and restaurant in the historic village of Llanasa, North Wales — a place where locals feel like regulars on their first visit, and travellers discover more than just a pint and a pie. As a true Free House, we’re free to serve what we believe in. With elevated food, smart rooms, and a killer location in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, we’re building a place people come for the experience and where stories begin.
Step inside and you’ll find roaring fires, a warm welcome, and spaces designed for every occasion. From our lively public bar and elegant restaurant to the cosy lounge and courtyard, The Red Lion is the perfect setting to relax, celebrate, and connect.
Just steps from the medieval church of Saints Asaph and Cyndeyrn, and at the gateway to the proposed Glyndŵr National Park, we are ideally placed for weddings, walking, and Welsh adventure. For those wishing to stay a little longer, we offer five comfortable ensuite rooms — perfect for visitors, pilgrims, and hikers.
Nestled in the heart of Llanasa – The Red Lion is where Wales comes alive.

Food

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet

At The Red Lion, food is at the heart of everything we do. Our menus celebrate the very best of Flintshire, Denbighshire and Conwy. North Welsh lamb and freshly landed seafood to artisan cheeses and breads, every dish reflects a sense of place and quality.

Our kitchen is led by Executive Chef Doug Evans, whose global experience adds a special twist to traditional pub dining. Alongside local favourites, guests can enjoy American-style smoked and barbecued meats, creative vegan and vegetarian dishes, and even seasonal sushi inspired by Doug’s training under Maui chef Kojima — a rare and memorable experience in North Wales.

Whether you’re joining us for a relaxed bar snack, a family afternoon tea, or a celebratory dinner, you’ll find hearty flavours and warm hospitality at the centre of it all. For those exploring the countryside, we also prepare fresh packed lunches to take on the trail.

News & Blog

Latest news from our blogs

Llanasa is one of those rare Welsh villages where history, landscape, and community blend into something quietly remarkable. Nestled in rolling green hills just a few miles from the coast, it has been a place of settlement, worship, and gathering for more than a thousand years. Its medieval church, dedicated to Saints Asaph and Cyndeyrn, watches over the village, and within its grounds lies the grave of Gruffydd Fychan II — father of the legendary Owain Glyndŵr, the last native Prince of Wales. Pilgrims, poets, and walkers have passed through Llanasa for generations, drawn by sacred routes, ancient woodlands, and the sense of peace that settles over the village. It is beautiful, yes—but more than that, it feels lived-in and loved, a place where time moves a little slower and life feels closer to the land.
