Book a Table


To make a booking email us on bookings@theredlionkniveton.co.uk and let us know the date and preferred time, the number of people in your group, a name and contact number. It helps us if we know how many in the group are children, if any high chairs are required, if you have dogs etc. Also, tell us if any of your group has allergies or intolerances so we can check our dishes for these before you arrive.

We do not always have chance to monitor emails - especially during service - so if you need a quick response then it is best to give us a ring on 01335 345554 during opening hours. If the phone goes to answerphone during service then we are really busy! Leave a message and we'll get back to you.
