MAY BANK HOLIDAYS
Celebrate the bank holidays the way they’re meant to be enjoyed- with family and friends, great food and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay a little longer. With all your favourite tipples behind the bar too, we can’t wait to cheers to the long weekend with you (with a pint in hand).
Well the weather didn’t play fair yesterday but it didn’t dampen our spirits! Hell no! We simply moved our festivities inside! Thanks so much for supporting our lovely vintage vocalist , Rachel Mills. She was a superstar. Hope you all enjoyed your afternoon!
✨ Sundays are meant to be savoured not spent slaving over a hot stove! Join us for lunch at The Red Lion, tucked away in the heart of beautiful Bakewell, the kind of place Sundays were made for. Step into our warm, welcoming pub where the roasts are slow-cooked, the potatoes are perfectly crisp, and the gravy is rich enough to make you pause mid-conversation. Whether it’s tender beef, succulent chicken, or a veggie option, every plate comes piled high with all the trimmings you’d expect (and a few you’ll wish you had room for). Add a glass of your favourite something, be a devil, push the boat out and order a bottle, we have a great choice! Make sure your Sunday feels exactly as it should. Bring the family, gather your friends, or just treat yourself — we’ll take care of the rest! #SundayRoast #Bakewell #realale #PeakDistrict #CosyPub #FoodieFind
