The Red Lion

Lovely room and pleasant staff. Although it is room only, there were a lot of nice treats in the room, including fresh fruit and porridge for breakfast

Brilliant lunch menu! Friendly atmosphere, good prices and fantastic food. Sausages & mash for £8 on the lunch menu is brilliant, and the quality was miles above the price. Would absolutely come back!

friendly pub with good beer

London prices in Bakewell??? Disgusting, dirty room.. avoid!!!! This is an accurate review based on my experience here and photos don't lie!!!! Rooms: Room no 1 was absolutely filthy upon our arrival... management asked us whether we wanted the room cleaned??????

Prices are very expensive considering portion sizes are very small, food was mediocre and I have left hungry. After paying, I realised the bill was more then what we had ordered, when I went up to the bar as I wanted to double check what I had been charged for, was met by a very rude woman who from the beginning of the interaction had a poor attitude, she explained that I had been charged for an extra portion of onion rings that I had eaten as I didn’t realised they were an extra portion and thought they came with my meal, this would have been okay as I work in the restaurant/bar industry and know mistakes happen, however, the way she spoke to me and dealt with the whole interaction was shocking and rude, she spoke to me with zero respect and hostility, didn’t even apologise. Would avoid going here and would look elsewhere for food and drink. I have never left a complaint before and she has negatively impacted my day.

Great boozer good ale and lager smashing food t fill thee up at reet price Food & drinks: Smahing food

Stayed in bakewell for 3 days popped in for drinks Friday and Saturday beer and service fine, it changed on the Sunday we booked for Sunday lunch it was awful hard veg 3 tiny hard potatoes and two tiny pieces of tough meat it made school dinners , nursing home dinners look good, as a couple who have worked in hospitality all our lives I believe it was of a poor standard, we were given a refund and went to manners pub and had a rather decent roast dinner

We went to the Red lion to have Sunday roast and it was lovely. We thought the prices were nice compared to the amount of food and quality of food we got. It was a little unusual for us to have to go to the bar to order, without a wait staff primarily but as we spent more time in the UK we learned this is pretty typical for a pub or smaller places so we have no issues with it. Overall the environment was nice, food was great and there wasn't a lot of attention from the staff but that was completely fine for us. If you are someone who needs to constantly be checked on and fussed about, England may not be the Country for you. We found everything to be very go with the flow and just get about your day nicely kind of vibe and we adore it there.

Dropped in on a Sunday on the offchance... we'd been on a Bakewell treasure trail, it was cold & inside this lovely traditional pub had welcoming fires burning & food being served. The prices werent bad, think it was £13ish for our meals. Staff were friendly. Even though the place was busy they found us a table. I had steak & ale pie. It was seriously very very good. Completely handmade. The roasties had herbs & were so tasty. My date had a chicken sunday dinner, that looked & smelt good too. Was chatting to the lady behind the bar... apparently they are fairly new into the pub tenancy. I'll definitely be back if walking locally... might bring my best mate... it was that good it is worth making an effort to visit.
