The Red Lion - Carta

Great place for real ales , they have their own brewery. Didn,t eat there but food looked good. Welcoming bar staff and good atmosphere a very enjoyable vist.

We had a lovely evening meal, the food was good and the couple who own the pub were delightful, they obviously have a passion for food and it shows on the plate

Matt ran a bread baking workshop, it was amazing, I’ve been baking for about 45 years but still learned loads. We made sourdough and pizza dough that we loaded with toppings and cooked the the wood fired pizza oven. Ver carta

Fantastic roast dinner and even better deserts! Great location in the Peak District and lovely locally sourced produce used. Amazing beer brewed on site too. Matteo and the team made us and our 2.5 year old really welcome and we had a memorable time. Definitely recommend.

We enjoyed a lovely Sunday lunch at the cosy Red Lion after walking in the beautiful Peak District. We had a mixture of satisfying, well balanced dishes off their main menu and carvery. We found there was an impressive selection of vegan/ veggie options compared to other places, and really good quality meats cooked well. Lovely staff, friendly and relaxing atmosphere I especially liked the way they had space for dogs too. A great end to our day.

Excellent communication from Alyson and a great meeting place for all our family members who were visiting 9ladies We booked tables for 20 of us and organised meal requests via a menu emailed to me from Alyson. The welcome was warm and friendly and the selection of drinks were very good. The veggie meal was good and the selection of meats was good; piping hot food for all including chicken goujons for the children so all in all a great venue to enjoy each others company Ver carta

We went to the Red Lion in Birchover while visiting a friend who lives in the area. We thought we would give the Red Lion a try. I’m glad we did! We will definitely be back. The food was excellent. The chef is from Scilly he certainly knows about food. There was a main menu and specials board. The specials were more interesting than the sort of thing usually on offer. We started with bread (home made) with a hot blue cheese dip. We were mopping every last tiny bit out of the pot it came in. They make their own blue cheese. Then 2 of us had beef taglata. Tender delicious. The chips that came with it were light and fluffy. We all cleared our plates. The pub itself is very ‘olde worlde’, not a...

An old pub full of character, came here for the food as renting a holiday home 5 miles away, seemed like a different offering the red lion than the usual pub food on offer elsewhere. Wasn't disappointed on looking at the menu either, although it did seem a little small and brave. Thinking maybe a few not so restauranty dishes might go down better with the locals, but hey if I'm only visiting. It seemed strange that the designated restaurant area didn't have laid up tables and a wine list (considering the aspirations of the menu. Just cutlery in a holder on the table with ketchup and mayonnaise in bottles, seemed a little off kilter with the menus. Starters of peach burrata and octopus carpac...

The service was very slow upon arrival, we waited a while to get a drink and menus, with no acknowledgment from staff. We ordered the Sunday calvery expecting to help ourselves (Like you would generally expect to do at a calvery), however, we were served the food from the staff direct from the calvery. Which i have never experienced before. We felt that this was a despirate attempt to save money, by means of portion control! Myself and my husband left feeling hungry still and what was even more shocking was that even though my husband did not want to eat a lot of the vegetables on offer, they didnt give any extra portions of other foods on the calvety which he actually liked! As a result aft... Ver carta
