A NEW company has won the right to use Red Lion Lawn in Henley to serve refreshments and offer pleasure boat trips.
The Henley Boating Company, which is based in Wargrave, has been awarded the contract by the town council, which owns the paved riverside terrace downstream from Henley Bridge.
The previous licence holder was Sam Gill, who owned the Red Lion Hotel, which was sold last year and is now being refurbished before re-opening in the summer as the Relais Henley.
There were several bidders for the licence but councillors felt the Henley Boating Company proposal offered the most benefit to the community.
