Mill House Tea Gardens in North East Derbyshire

First time trying a mini fish chips and peas meal, was very good and reasonably priced, I'd be buying again

Visited for my wife’s birthday as this restaurant is quite expensive but very nice. Theres a big car park, there’s loads of places to sit in the bar and the restaurant is tidy and clean. Staff were friendly and helpful and they had put a birthday card on the table. Good low alcohol beer selection The food was delicious and attractively presented. My wife had the pigeon and I had the octopus which was a bit over cooked and tasters more like a bratwurst but surprisingly, with the other parts of the dish, tasted really good . We both had venison which was well cooked and good portion of new potatoes and courgette. My wife had the strawberry cheesecake and I had the peach Melba which was an interesting twist on the old favourite with warm peach slices, both dishes were tasty. My wife was given a plate with happy birthday on it with some brownie pieces and fruit and cream which was almost a sweet in itself. Not unique to Red Lion but why do restaurants take so long to bring the card machine? Will go again for another special occasion.

Bland/flavourless noodles and egg fried rice. Only good thing was the beef and chicken. Prawn still had vein on the back. UPDATE 2024 Tried this location again as my local Chinese is temporarily closed, food was bland and tasteless. Prawns were rubbery. Had to add sauce to this which I have never had to do before with Chinese. Would not recommend. The best and tastiest thing was the fortune cookie.

Had beautiful cream tea .. amazing sandwiches and cakes. Very friendly staff. We eventually got there 3rd time lucky after illness and then snow! Well worth the wait. Trying the meals next cant wait. Thank you to all.

Such a lovely place inside. We had take away , they are always polite and the food is always really nice and not greasey. Been vegan I asked them whay I could have and they more than helpful and said they could add veg to any of the dishes thay are suitable for vegans.
