Quick info
About Red Lion Soham
At 17 High St in Ely, Red Lion Soham serves a small menu of six dishes with a walk-in setup rather than a booked one. Starters include crevettes with homemade herb mayonnaise, Neal's Yard cheeses with homemade chutney, and house marinated Kalamata olives, giving a sense of the kitchen's approach before mains. The restaurant opens Wednesday through Sunday and stays closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. Guests take a seat and order without a reservation, keeping the format straightforward across the week it trades.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers praise the Red Lion most for its staff, described as kind, welcoming and quick to answer menu questions, with one wedding reception held in the coach house and garden. Food is called delicious, with big portions, and one reviewer liked a brilliantly made drink. One notes some mains were over salted and little suited vegetarians, though the chef would expand the menu if warned in advance.

“We had our wedding reception at the Red Lion and it honestly couldn’t have been more perfect! Lucy and the team are so kind and attentive and the venue is just beautiful. We used the coach house and had a small marquee attached, had drinks inside the restaurant area and the garden. The food was absolutely delicious and all our guests were so impressed. It’s a really beautiful place with a kind, welcoming and fun atmosphere. We couldn’t recommend it enough ! Go for lunch, a party or your wedding reception- you won’t regret it!”

“We love the Red Lion. We've been for food a few times and the staff are great. Atmosphere is cosy and friendly and the food is always amazing. We called in for a drink and sat in the bar area by the fire and were made to feel very welcome by the staff. 100% reccomend a visit.”
