This pub is a MUST visit place when visiting the Peak District!!
Situated in the heart of the village, the Red Lion Inn, Birchover, is a traditional pub serving real ales and home-cooked food. The pub has been featured in the ‘Good Beer guide 2010’, AA ‘Good food guide’ and recently won Matlock and district CAMRA pub of the season.
Having been recently refurbished, The Red Lion has been bought up to date although many of the original features such as the 30ft well and 300yr old oak beams remain.
Owners Matteo and Alyson Frau’s aim is to provide rustic, honest food with some Sardinian dishes in a comfortable setting in one of the prettiest villages in the Peak.
The Red Lion Inn provides an ideal rest break for walkers wanting a light meal or anyone wanting something a little more substantial on a relaxed night out.
They allow muddy boots and well-behaved dogs in their tap room where they can warm up around our log burners throughout winter. They are family friendly and provide smaller versions of some of the home-cooked meals on our menu for younger diners. They source their ingredients locally where possible and even produce their own award-winning ricotta (Bakewell show ’09) and mozzarella.
They usually have four real ales on tap which change from week to week although Peak ales (brewed at Chatsworth) and Peakstones Rock brewery are regulars. They also stock traditional Perry and Scrumpy on tap.
Special evenings are held throughout winter such as Sardinian night, pie supper night and set menus. Regular menu ranges from £3.95 for a starter to £13 main course. To tempt your taste buds – wild rabbit and mirto terrine (starter), and slow cooked Chatsworth lamb shank with root vegetables and bilberry reduction (main).

Every year thousand of walkers and tourists seeking history and atmospheric scenery marvel at the nearby Nine Ladies stone circle on Stanton Moor, thought to date from the Bronze Age. It was probably erected around 1500 B.C. The Pub was built in 1680 as a farm and alehouse it was granted its first licence in 1722 - when licensing became law. Today it retains much of its original character. In the bar is the 30ft deep well covered by glass flush with the floor. In the 17th century beer was brewed on the premises, a long time before the major breweries were established.
A free house, 'The Red Lion' has a reputation for traditional ales and fine food. All of us at the Red Lion are here to provide our customers with outstanding service and product quality.
