Donnington Brewery

Thomas Arkell bought a 13th-century water mill in idyllic countryside in 1827 and Richard Arkell began brewing on the site in 1865. Today, the mill wheel is still used to drive pumps and machinery to brew our beer the same way nearly 160 years on.

Donnington Brewery has 20 beautiful Cotswold pubs and The Red Lion is one for them. Try their amazing range of brews on your next visit.
