Red Lion

If the chef put as much effort and attention into the food, as the young lady behind the bar did her phone, then perhaps they could have achieved even the very basics; Onion rings were undercooked, and mashed-potato suspiciously similar in texture and taste, to ‘packet mix’ - Not good!

Called in to the Red Lion tonight for our Tea to celebrate our son becoming a registered Royal charter surveyor. We had 4 different meals and all agreed the food was delicious. The pub is clean and cosy with cheerful staff ready to serve with a smile. After we had eaten we had a quick chat with the Landlady who was very welcoming . To top it off the beer garden at the rear has had a makeover since we last went and it’s a fantastic spot to soak up the afternoon sunshine with a tipple of your choice. If you’re going to Bakewell make sure you pop in you won’t regret it.

Would stay here again. We were made very welcome! The room was clean and comfortable - brilliant shower! Basic breakfast provided but it was all we needed. Bar times and fire escapes explained. Staff were very helpful when I realised we`d left something behind after checking out. Very cosy bar.

This is my second time coming to the Red lion, the staff are always happy to answer any questions you have and it always service with a smile. Menu has plenty to choose from, presentation is brilliant and every dish I saw come out the kitchen look appetising. Will be back again very soon

Nice people Nice people

Came here on a Sunday afternoon, after a three hour hike that had done a number on my feet. Needed a boost. Overall, it delivered. We came in here wanting a roast dinner but unfortunately we were slightly too late and they had stopped serving (it was around 4pm). Got fish and chips instead which was very tasty and good sizes. Slightly disappointed with the choice of lagers on tap and lack of table service but still recommend.
