I am originally from Birchover so spent most of my youth in the Red Lion. It was a great place for the locals, great atmosphere, great people, great beer and amazing food. In my recent visit back to the Village, I thought it might nice to pay a visit, however I wish I'd never bothered. The place is completely different,... More

Came here for a romantic meal, expecting high standards from what I had read on here. Unfortunatley what we got was a hostile feeling atmosphere, staff who didn't even smile. A long wait for our food and when it did arrive wasnt particularly hot. I don't think we will be going back.

Delicious Sardinian food and great beer. Very welcoming. really work hard for the village and have also opened a deli and village shop.

We ate here over the Easter weekend, on the Saturday night. The poached salmon was lovely (if ever so slightly over-cooked) and the burger was amazing!! Very attentive service and excellent and very cheap wine. The owner is very friendly and we loved the group of people who turned up with their fiddles, guitars etc and started playing.

Avery warm and friendly welcome. Spacious and well appointed dining room. Good service and good food. Reasonably priced

After visiting this pub on a quiet - save for the darts match - Tuesday evening, I must say I have nothing but praise for the place. As soon as we entered the woman serving behind the bar made us feel very welcome and the Nine Ladies (?) beer, which is brewed specially for the pub is an excellent example... More

Two friends and I went to visit this pub, because of a recommendation from our university lecturer and when we pulled up to this little pub although quite confused when we walked up to what we thought was the entrance but was a door from the previous pub layout but just sealed shut; when we did eventually make way in...
