The Red Lion - Menu

1. Excellent service soon as you walked through the door, all staff are proactive and go the extra mile. 2. We ate the braised beef, to say it wasn’t the best meal we ate would be a lie. The meat was beautifully tender and the...

An inspirational experience, easily our favourite place to eat in Derbyshire! My wife and I stayed in Birchover for two nights and had dinner at the Red Lion on the second night. Oh how we wish we’d gone here on the first night because we...

Absolutely superb in every aspect. Had dinner here last night with my wife, 11 year old daughter and family friend whilst visiting the area for the weekend. Warm welcome when we arrived. Dog friendly. We had 2 course dinners, starter and main course. Range of...

During our last visit to the area, we only had time for a quick drink at the Red Lion. This time, we made sure to book a table for lunch after a refreshing walk from the nearby village. The weather was lovely so we were able to sit outside with our dog, although the restaurant does offer indoor seating as well.

We made a reservation and after a nice walk with our guide dog puppy, we had a delicious carvery Sunday lunch at the Red Lion. The restaurant is truly dog-friendly, with up to 8 dogs in the bar area. The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxed. The service was attentive and the food was tasty - especially the salted beef. It was a great experience.

We had a fantastic meal with friends at the top pub in Derbyshire. This hidden gem is worth seeking out. We started with delicious Bircher cheese dip and homemade sourdough bread - both made by the chef. The pan-fried calves liver was cooked to perfection. Don't miss the Nine Ladies beer, brewed by the chef. Thank you, Matt and Ally, for a great dining experience.

we booked for the first time for the Sardinian evening. what a fantastic experience! we sat on a long table of 17 and served a huge selection of Sardinian dishes, as prepared by the chef matteo and his most powerful assistant alyson. the waiting staff was friendly and attentive and worked very hard to keep us supplied with all kinds of tasty dressed. the evening ended with a glass amaretto and a melody of matteo on his Sardinian flee!. absolutely fantastic evening all around.

A real hidden Gem as the food was very special ,a interesting and unique balance of flavours, put together with lots of thought and attention. So many fresh flavours, including home made bread, cheese and sausage made on site. Definitely far from your average pub grub and well worth the visit. Chef and front of house manager were attentive welcoming and we had a really nice experience, in a lovely part of Derbyshire. Definitely going to return as the menu is seasonal and changes will be much looked forward to .

we have visited a few times now, and every time there was nothing wrong. this is a beautiful, historical pub, in the center of the village, with a quirky fountain in the bottom of the bar. the bardame and the waiter are beautiful and friendly. the owners, alyson and matteo, are super, come and chat us at our first visit, take the time, we really welcome. eating is great, much better than they would expect in a pub. everything cooked to order and perfection. what makes the red lion apart for me, is the great selection of beer, cheese and brot, which is made directly there on the spatial areas, enjoy a pint and a melted cheese with acidic teigbrot, knowing that everything was born in the pub,...
