| An excellent, little country pub. Four decent ales, usually with good options on offer from Bradfield and Abbeydale breweries. Honest hearty grub and a place that attracts a broad range of nice people. Always leave with a smile on my face and wish I could stop a bit longer. Highly recommended superowl - 12 Sep 2008 15:45 |
| stayed for a week in litton and ate a lot in the red lion what a wonderful place, just found out that Terry and Michele have left as landlord and landlady would just like to say hope everything is well with them as at the time Terry was not well but still full of spirit and making the all who drank and ate there welcome, if anyone knows where they have moved to wish them every happiness and good luck to them both from two customers who stayed for b&b in the past with a wondeful couple who will I believe will be sorely missed in Litton. ronbev - 9 Sep 2008 12:23 |
| Having read about this pub on this website, we called in for Sunday Lunch and a few pints. What a fantastic pub. Good beer that was superbly kept, terrific food and friendly staff (and customers). This is a great little pub with several small rooms with lots of character. When we arrived, we were very lucky to get the only unreserved table available. Next time we go on a Sunday, we'll book. I was sorry to have to leave. Highly recommended. paul_fisher - 17 Aug 2008 15:07 |
| We live a couple of villages away from Litton and the Red Lion is our favourite eating out pub. We’ve never had a meal there we didn’t enjoy. There’s usually some specials on as well as the standard menu and some of these can be quite interesting. As has been said, even a chip butty is a delight. It’s not cheap food, but we feel you get what you pay for – it’s quality food and enough of it to fill you. Very small and cramped for space – if you’re going at a busy time, I’d advise booking to reserve a table. Beer is always good, usually a choice of at least 3 real ales. It’s well kept and changes often, though you usually find one from Barnsley Brewery(?) and one from Abbeydale on. After walking there, there’s nothing to beat downing a pint of real ale that’s been well made and well kept. bluebootycat - 4 Aug 2008 18:15 |
| A stroll down the main street of the picturesque little village of Litton in the derbyshire dales brings you to the village green. The Red Lion pub sits next to the green and forms part of a short row of terraced stone houses. It gives the impression it had originally been two of the houses, now converted. The pub's outdoor seating spreads over on to the village green, which is shaded by mature trees, and also accommodates the village stocks! You enter the pub through a small passageway which leads into numerous rooms with low, beamed ceilings. One of which houses a small bar and open fireplace. This is quaintness at its quaintest, but genuine all the same!. The usual drinks were on offer, plus 4 cask ales. adnams broadside, farmers blonde [bradfield], and two others I didn't recognize. I was served quickly and efficiently by a young gent. A range of meals were available at something like £5 upward. Plus some snacks [chip butty, £2]. We had a butty and the chips turned out to be home made and very tasty, delivered speedily by a very nice lady from the kitchen. Anyone will know [or should] that its the cook that makes or breaks the food's reputation, and I can imagine the quality of the other meals would also be quite good. The adnams broadside was also spot on. This pub, as we found, is on a circular walk taken around tideswell dale, millers dale, and cressbrook dale. what a pleasant end to the day? If I have one regret, its that I don't live a little closer! reynard - 26 Jul 2008 23:38 |
