Littonfields Barn –Dining Guide
If you wish to eat out at one of the local pubs or restaurants we recommend
that you book in advance of your stay to be sure of getting a table
as the best ones are usually fully booked by the weekend
Local Pubs & Restaurants:
The Red Lion, Litton - 01298 871458 theredlionlitton.co.uk
Just a short stroll away, in the centre of Litton on the village green, next to the stocks!
A traditional village pub with real ales, lots of locals (always a good sign) and log fires. It has a good reputation for its food and therefore gets booked up. Unfortunately, they do not allow children under 7.
In good weather it is great to sit outside on the village green where they have plenty of tables and benches.
