“Such a fantastic find, food and service were excellent. The wine pairing with the meal was well explained throughout and nothing was too much trouble for the waitress. Would definitely visit again and exceptional value for money.”

What a fantastic dining experience. We went for the 8 course tasting menu with wine pairing. We thought it was excellent value at £75pp & £45 for the wine. It had a different wine for all 8 courses. A nice touch was a menu for the complementary canapés. The stand out dishes for me was the halloumi canapé and salmon tartar 😍. Hubby’s star dishes were the ham hock terrine & strawberry parfait. He also loved both canapé’s & homemade sourdough and butters. Waiting staff were great, loved it & will be back!

What a beautiful riverside location! I've never experienced dining at a restaurant like Stones before and I wasn't disappointed. Everything about our evening was amazing. The food was absolutely delicious and the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. We were made to feel very special by everyone there.

Lovely! Went for our annual Birthday taster menu and it was great as always. Got to try a few things we'd never had before. A few items were quite salty which was such a shame but the puddings as always were th best part!

“We finally decided to give Aroma Lounge a go. Ordered for collection on a Sunday evening and it said it was ready in 20 minutes. In 10 minutes we got a text saying it's ready. Seemed very nice inside, pleasing aesthetic, and the gent who greeted me was pleasant. He went off to collect my food, came back and opened the door for me and said he hopes I take care of myself. Nice experience. NOW for the food. Honestly, the chicken was very tender and just fell apart, nice flavours, and you can clearly tell the food was actually marinated as described on the menu. Just for reference, we had 2x mains, 2x breads, 1 rice, and 1 portion of chips at just under £31. As expected really, and couldn't be happier with the quality of the food. So that's a bonus as you can pay that amount or more and it be terrible food. What was nice was this morning (2 days later). I received a text asking how my food was from the restaurant, not had that before! But it was a nice enough gesture to get me to review. Nice touch. We will most definitely be returning.”

“Nice place to enjoy a drink, atmosphere was very relaxed and easy going, drinks were a little on the pricier side compared to other bars in the area (£17 for a large wine & a pint) but I'd visit again. Didn't have food so can't comment on quality but what I saw coming out to other patrons looked really nice and really well presented”

“Wasn’t serving food when we visited but we had a really warm welcome from a young man the first time, very friendly and engaged us in conversation. The second night we were greeted by a lovely young lady who again was so friendly and welcoming. The beers were in good order and the windows gave great views over Matlock. Water and treats were provided for our two dogs. Great place to visit.”

“It's not very big, quite small actually but with the log fire it makes for a great atmosphere. On Sundays there's no menu as we found out, it's roast beef or chicken with all the trimmings and lovely food it was. Recommended.”

“Thank you for a wonderful meal. The customer service was amazing. We arrived without a booking but were served very promptly and all of our food and drink arrived very quickly. They were even prepared to cook dishes that weren’t on the menu and consulted with us on preferred style. Very good with small children/toddlers. Cannot thank them enough”

“The Red Lion, Matlock - A Roaring Success A Perfect Sunday Roast Getaway! Our recent stay at The Red Lion in Matlock exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we arrived, the staff was warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. We enjoyed co-owner Lee’s dry scene of humour. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a relaxing escape on our anniversary. Our room was clean and comfortable. The Sunday roast carvery, wow! The restaurant was fully booked so an advance booking is recommended. The selection of meats was cooked to perfection, tender and succulent, with a fantastic selection of roasted vegetables and light, fluffy Yorkshire puddings. It was, without a doubt, one of the best carvery lunches we’ve had for a long time. The location of The Red Lion is also a huge plus. Matlock itself is a beautiful town with plenty to explore, and the pub's central location makes it an ideal base for discovering the surrounding area. We had a day out at nearby Bakewell, and another day we enjoyed a walk to Lumsdale Falls. Overall, our stay at The Red Lion was exceptional. The combination of friendly staff, comfortable accommodation, and a truly outstanding Sunday roast carvery, the on-site micro brewery (my favourite was the Giddy Edge IPA), makes this a must-visit. I wholeheartedly recommend The Red Lion to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway in Matlock. We can't wait to return!”

“Had a thoroughly good evening here , some very good service and food was impressive. Had the dirty onion burger, and it was gorgeous, really high quality meat cooked with the slightest blush of pink, sauces and onions all complemented and enhanced the burger. Chips were proper chips one of the best burgers I've had in a long time.”
