| Visited the Red Lion very recently (May 2011). We only had a half a Stella to drink, needing food more than water, so cannot comment on the beer (though they had 3 hand-pumpe ales on). The food was very good 'pub food,' but the prices were steep. I had bangers and mash at �9.95 and my partner had scampi and chips at the same price. Marks out of 10 for mine, 9. Good sausages, nice onion gravy (though a touch short of onion) and very good side dish of 4 non-mushy vegetables. 8 for the scampi plate says my p., "6 when you include the price." Both desserts were excellent. a Bakewell Tart and cream and a Bailey's cheesecake (with cream on the side), the latter was exceptional. "You can tell the lady who made it, she's stood at the bar in the pink top," said the waitress. Great to see the idea of harnessing the talents of a local villager in action. Just as it should be. I'm not sure we'll re-visit because of the prices: 17.95 for sirloin steak is way out of order, no matter how good. 15 something for duck, same for chicken breast, a quid more (I think) for filet steak w/ stroganov sauce. 9.95 for a plate of salad, 4.95 your soup. Other starters were over 6 quid. This is a cosy pub room we're talking about, not a top-class restaurant with fine linen tablecloths, etc. This said, there were plenty of takers for dinner. This is a pretty handy country Derbyshire pub with a pleasant atmosphere. If you're a little better heeled than we are, you may well have yourself an even better time than we did. alicecribbins - 21 May 2011 14:27 |
| Free House, well kept bitters - Speckled Hen; Pedigree; Bass; plus guest beers. Open fires in cold weather, candles on the tables in the evenings, flagstones, oak beams, and terrific food. Dave T - 27 Jul 2004 17:06 |
