### The Red Lion, Barnes

The Red Lion in Barnes was made for long family meals and Sunday lunches. While adults settle in and order drinks from the bar, little ones can play in the playground out back, which has a small slide and ping pong table. There’s also a great children’s menu featuring dishes like sausages and mash, spaghetti Bolognese, chicken burgers with chips and mini roast dinners on Sundays. Make a beeline for the huge outdoor garden when the weather’s good.
