Red Lion

Ideal location for seeing Bakewell. Nice atmosphere, shame they stop serving food at 6pm.

The wife and I met up with some friends here and we had a great afternoon. The pub is fantastic, the staff were great. It really is a good pub. It has a lovely size beer garden in a fantastic location too. We never tried the food but the menu looked great.

Not been here for years but wow it's changed so much, ordered two full English breakfasts and waffle Benedict which was really tasty, had coffee and coke and could not find fault with anything. Service was extremely good, Lisa being our server made sure we had everything we needed, came to collect our plates once finished and asked was everything okay. We was made to feel comfortable from start to finish, definitely recommend coming for food and drinks.

Food was a rip off, tiny portions of chips and overcooked burger. Chicken pie was the blandest pie I've ever tried. Pastry was like white playdoh. Reminded me of hospital food zero flavour. The accompanying mash tasted like Smash. Such a shame pubs these days can't be bothered to make their own pie and mash.. young waitress scowled at me upon entering,seemed like they just want your money then to leave especially the woman on the bar. Maybe because it's school holidays and a Friday I saw it at it's worst. Wouldn't return even for a drink due to the moody atmosphere.

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.

We ate after a 5 mile walk, in the garden it was lovely, very busy so we did have to wait for food but it was worth the wait. We all had different meals and every one was very happy with their choices. I went for the Salmon Salad and it was so tasty and worth the price.
