They give you a key at the New Inn so you can come and go as you please.
Red Lion is owned by a German bank who want to make their money back on the refurb as soon as possible.
od knows what sort of mess the refurb will make.
They came in with all these plans in May to put a new door here and change that wall to make the bar bigger before being told the building was listed! Duh!

We stayed at the New Inn Winterbourne Monkton on Saturday night.
I have stayed there quite a few times over the years, and it's a treat. Own key, nice breakfast, late bar, real ale, and friendly staff.
There are two more b&bs in Avebury itself, according to the cards left in the Post Office. It's nice to stay in the circle overnight, so I'm going to try one of those next time I want to stop in the circle.

When they told me at the Red Lion I had to be 'in' by 11.20, I thought I was on candid camera!!! it would have ruined our evening entirely if we had stopped there. Unbelievable!

I've been going t'same pub fer twenty year,
It were half a crown then fer buy me beer,
But they closed it down fer redecorate,
They said we'll knock a wall down,
Change bar round,
Paint door brown,
It's going to look great.
When I walked into it I couldn't believe me eyes,
Every cunt had a shirt and tie,
Mirrored walls and daft plastic trees,
It were a fun pub disco,
Wine bar bistro,
Gay club puff house,
Cocktail carvary.
So I walked to the bar fer to get me ale,
She said Tetly Bitter's not for sale,
They had fizzy lager with a German name,
I said you've got to be joking,
I started choking, me voice were croaking,
I turned round.
Then a penguin grabbed me fer to throw me out,
He said you've got to dress like a twat end to get in now,
But I've been served in here for twenty years,
Now it's a fun pub disco,
Wine bar bistro,
Gay club puff house,
Cocktail...
Oh what the fuck fuck fuck have they done to me pub,
What the fuck fuck fuck have they done to me pub,
What the fuck fuck fuck have they done to me pub,
Now it's a fun pub disco,
Wine bar bistro,
Gay club puff house,
Cocktail carvery.
