Mill House Tea Gardens in North East Derbyshire

We went for a birthday celebration and the wonderful ladies who work there made it such a lovely visit for us all. They went above and beyond to spoil the birthday girl and the food and friendly atmosphere were excellent. Will definately return-thank you!

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.

Booked a table for lunch today (13/03) For myself and hubby who is wheelchair bound. I always ask for table one as this is more accessible for wheelchair users. Lovely and welcoming staff as always- the young man even remembered my choice of wine. I ordered the beef and Guinness stew with dumpling and chips. Husband had steak and kidney pie. Both were delicious with plenty of extremely tender steak, beautiful thick gravy and lots of kidney in hubby’s pie. Unfortunately I couldn’t do it the justice it deserved and didn’t finish it but I would definitely recommend the dish and hopefully it is kept on the menu and not just for St Patrick celebrations which I think it may be.

Great dinner. Extensive range of food choices and specials. Good range of ales and ciders on tap. The food was great quality and good value for money. Large portions. I had mussels which were fab 😋 and the chips are fantastic! We sat indoors, very dog friendly, but they also have a good outdoor seating area.

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.
