Went there many,many times when I lived with a certain Dorset artist (shall we say ?) in Christchurch.It was one of my favourite places , and I enjoyed playing in sessions in various pubs there ; one year, one of the venues fed one from a noodle-bar (if you performed) and I performed a lot and ate LOTS of noodles! And playing in the Red Lion with melodeon-player Derek Tarrant was always great fun .
