Red Lion

Stayed for new years eve and a meal. We thought the meal was excellent, nothing was too much trouble for the staff who looked after us. We stayed in a small double, room very warm but cosy! Only bit that was annoying which had got nothing to do with the hotel was bin lorry at ten to 7 on new years day morning waking us up😡

Very good service,and great food,we had a lovely beef Sunday dinner with a apple and raspberry crumble,lovely atmosphere,clean and tidy, lovely Xmas decor,nice and warm,catering for shoppers and walkers alike,children and dogs welcome,

We wanted to have lunch here. It was a sunny autumn day and I felt the dining room just up the stairs was unbearably hot. There were no windows open at all, so I suggested we eat outside in the back patio garden. When asked the table number, we said out side in the back garden, we got a brusque “No, we don’t serve food in the garden” from the woman behind the bar. So we left. She came out with us to wedge open the back door and I asked her what was the reason. We were ignored.

Myself and my husband visited for one night, we came our motorbike, there was unfortunately no parking but plenty of parking nearby. I messaged ahead of our arrival to see if there was a possibility or checking in early due to being sweaty and wanting to freshen up after the journey, we did manage to get into the room early which was great. Fantastic room, they had thought everything, there wasn’t just tea and coffee in the room, but hot chocolate, cordial, apple and orange juice, porridge and biscuits, excellent selection. Lovely beer garden in the sun, we didn’t eat but from what we saw it all looked lovely. The staff where lovely and friendly, and they love a banter. we would definitely recommend and would stop here again if we come back.

This is a proper pub and found it to be friendly. Watched the England game so the bar was busy and not easy to watch the tv. However, if visiting Bakewell, I would recommend that you visit it for a pint or two. Located within the town near the bus stops so easy peasy if going elsewhere.

Lovely chap that took our drinks and food order, nothing was too much trouble when asking to change a couple of things for our order. Lovely warm pub & atmosphere. The darker haired lady wasn’t quite as friendly which was a bit upsetting, sort of made you feel like she didn’t want you there and was a strain on her to communicate with you but the lovely man was so welcoming with a lovely smile and the waiter young lad dark hair was really lovely too, makes such a difference when you visit somewhere for a treat. Steak and ale pie, chips, mash and sausages were all really tasty. Sticky toffee pudding was good but unfortunately only just luke warm, crumble was good too if a little sour, could’ve done with being slightly sweeter. Would definitely return though and try some more meals from the menu.
