The Season of Fresh Flavours Has Arrived: Discover Our Spring Menu 

April 23, 2026

As the days become brighter and the Kent countryside begins to bloom, there is no better time to enjoy the flavours of the new season at The Red Lion. Our newly launched Spring menu Hythe has been carefully created to celebrate the lighter, fresher ingredients that make spring one of the most exciting times of the year for food lovers.

At The Red Lion, we believe every season should be reflected on the plate. That is why our kitchen team has designed a menu filled with locally sourced produce, vibrant herbs, tender meats, and refreshing flavours that capture the spirit of spring. For guests looking for memorable seasonal dining Hythe, our latest menu offers the perfect reason to visit.

Our​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ spring menu offerings have been designed to unite people over a beautiful meal in the heart of Hythe, whether you are coming for a laid-back lunch, a family meal, or simply having a drink in our comfortable pub garden with good ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌company.

Explore Our Spring Menu at The Red Lion

Our Spring menu Hythe combines comforting British favourites with a modern touch, offering something for every appetite.

1. To Get You Started

Kick things off with a few plates for the table. Start​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌ your meal with something light and delicious like warm sourdough and garlic flatbread or our popular sticky chicken strips and classic prawn cocktail that are here to remind you that even starters can be fun, light, and ​‍​‌‍​‍‌​‍​‌‍​‍‌fresh.

2. The Main Event

Our spring mains are all about that balance of “comforting” and “fresh.” If you want something vibrant, the maple-roasted salmon is a must-try. If you’re in the mood for a classic with a twist, our beef brisket Wellington or the roasted vegetable tart are both incredibly satisfying. And for those who love a bit of spice, our butter chicken curry is a consistent winner.

3. Straight from the Grill

If you’ve worked up a real hunger, head straight for the grill section. We’re serving up high-quality sirloin and rib-eye steaks, alongside our signature house burgers and a really great spicy bean burger. Every grill dish comes with generous sides, so you definitely won’t leave hungry.

4. Sandwiches & Little Extras

Lunch doesn’t have to be a heavy affair. Our sandwich lineup, featuring everything from chicken and avocado to melty Croque Monsieurs and grilled halloumi, is perfect for a lighter midday break. And because we know sometimes you just want a little something more, you can round out your plate with loaded chips, onion rings, or a fresh dressed salad.

5. Handcrafted Sourdough Pizza

Our pizzas have a bit of a local following. We keep the sourdough bases thin and crispy, offering classics like the Margherita alongside bolder choices like BBQ pulled pork or the fully loaded meat feast. They’re great for sharing or keeping all to yourself.

6. The Sweetest Finish

You can’t really call it a meal without a proper dessert. Whether you’re a die-hard chocolate brownie fan, a lover of the tangy lemon meringue tart, or someone who can’t say no to sticky toffee pudding, we’ve got you covered. If you want something a bit lighter to cleanse the palate, our refreshing sorbets are the way to go.
