The Lion Pub with Rooms in Amber Valley

The food was very good and this is the second time we have been recently. The last time the food was also very good and I would certainly recommend the quality of the meals. The service was prompt. But a little bit haphazard. On our first occasion, we sat in the dining area where they cooked fresh pizzas. It looked like they’ve had a function on that evening and the used tables looked very bare and not tidied up properly. I felt like I was eating in a school dining room on our second occasion we ate in what was a kind of conservatory which on the surface was much better but they see to us at a table that had a leaky tap behind on the wall and in fact had dripped and wet all the floor around the table, and yet nobody noticed or was bothered about seating as here. We got up and just moved without asking there was no apology. In terms of the service it was mixed. Some staff was really efficient though whoever dealt with us was very friendly. Other stuff we had to ask for the drinks menu three times and it finally came the place looks a bit uncut and neglected and they clearly need someone organising the dining area much better. We had people coming in for drinks in the dining area and as a result it changed the atmosphere which made it feel just like sitting in any bar area . I would go again for the Quality of the food but I’m not sure for any other reason I would go back. As I look for the added value of nice clean inviting surroundings, which this did not really have.

They really do produce the best pizzas!!!

My wife and I attended a funeral tea at The Lion. The hotel provided separate vegan food which I appreciated. The food was good however the tea ran out and it took a while for the staff to fill the urns up again. The function room was an ideal location and the staff looked after us well, other than the aforementioned issue with the tea.

Our Daughter and son in law celebrated their wedding at The Lion Hotel in Sept 2024. The day was absolutely beautiful, made extra special by Adam and the team. Nothing too much trouble! Can't fault the service and food great , tasty and portions ample. Would definitely recommend! Sam Dalton

Had mid week lunch. Been before. Always a high standard

Clean rooms and good food. Friendly staff.

been here twice recently 1st time 2 dire meals.... staff management just as DIRE 2nd time , persuaded to try it again.... rocky table to start, played MR SHIFTER ourselves .... wife wiped tables with a WET WIPE ... was white to start finished dark brown on a better note... food a lot better than previously....... the place has a despondent feel about it, as nobody cares Overcharged on bill.... rectified on challenge its a nice place to go.... but somebody is letting it be run in a terrible way

Stayed for Sunday lunch as we did book in advance as was a busy pub. We sat down and ordered drinks, a pint of San Miguel was £5.90. Then we ordered food, the service was a little slow but I guess it was full. We had the roast beef with Yorkshire pudding and a good assortment of fresh vegetables at £16, for an extra £6 you could have dessert so I had the sticky toffee ginger pudding which delicious and an enormous portion.

Really happy about this place. Food was good and reasonably priced. Service was very quick and attentive. Parking on site was free and gated. Inside was lovely and not noisy. Really couldn't fault it.

Delicious food in a lovely environment. The only issue we had was with the service, very quick but once our food was served the staff weren’t very attentive, never asked if we wanted any condiments and never once came over to ask if everything was ok or if we’d like more drinks.

Fantastic food...very generous portions. Highly recommended.

Clean and friendly,tea and coffee facilities, comfortable bed, spacious room,all you need.

Second time visiting for Sunday lunch and still really nice ,we had the roast beef which was cooked beautifully, very plentiful with lots of vegetables which were also very nice ,unfortunately no room for pudding ,very nice garden and friendly helpful staff, we will definitely return

I booked a cheap single room, but that does not excuse the quality of it. The carpet, furnishings and bathroom fittings are dated and just nasty. The cap was missing from one of the taps and you just looked at dirty corroded metal. As one of the first things that you see it sets a very poor tone, and it would be no money at all to put a new cap on it. It is on a very busy road with lorries trundling through into the night and from about 5.30 a.m. The single glazed sash windows do nothing to stop the noise. The view is a petrol station and either the lighting from here or the external lighting from the hotel is 24 hour, so the room is never dark. The single bed had a very cheap and uncomfortable mattress, and poor quality pillows. It was more like a child's bed. I did have a very tasty korean chicken burger for dinner. It was cooked by someone who made a real effort with the blending of flavours. It is a very young team, but I found them efficient and just communicative enough. The female team leader was a bit aggressive when I wanted to sit in a quiet corner; 'The public bar is over there!' The continental breakfast included in the price did the job. The waitress in charge was not very welcoming, her only words were to ask me my room number. 'Good morning' is just two words but it goes a long way, particularly if a smile comes with it. A bit of training in hospitality and just a few quid spent on the room would really benefit this hotel.

The food and service at The Lion is consistently good. Nice staff, excellent tasty food, varied menus, value for money.

Loverly ambiance with a good selection of beers

Quality food at a reasonable price and the staff are always helpful and pleasant.

Lovely place just pricey that's hotel for you

Went to the restaurant and chose a gluten free pizza. Having had to endure gluten free offerings for many years, I know how awful gluten free pizza can be. But what a revelation. The pizza base was so good, I had to double check that it was actually gluten free. OH shared a number of slices, ( in addition to his own delicious meal) and concurred. Will be back for more. Be warned the pizza was the same huge size as the gluten containing option, but you can get a box to take the rest home.

Definitely recommend trying the grazing board (meat),well worth the price and the chips, well, delicious

Went for Sunday lunch yesterday afternoon and enjoyed one of the best Roasts we’d had in a while ! The Broccoli and Stilton Soup was gorgeous , I then had the Pork , which was SO juicy and tasty, my husband had the Beef and he absolutely demolished it ! Declaring the meat and roast potatoes “ Amazing ! “ Highly recommend !

Stayed for 2 nights in room 2 and I got to say I might as well tried sleeping beside the road there is nothing to deture road noise sleeping is near on impossible in that room it's a loverly pub and service from staff was polite and to the point staying in that room has given me a new perspective on why homeless people are so grumpy sleeping outside.

I have been using the Lion for 12 years now. Its just what I want for a business trip. I know some of the staff and I know my way around. It's a friendly homely and still stylish place. Food is always good and the beer is very good. No Bass this time but the Wainwright's and the Pedigree were a good alternative. I would recommend this place.

Excellent service and the staff are very friendly and helpful. Would recommend 100%. The food is first class and very generous portions all fresh products

Had a lovely lunch. Good menu selection. Please could the staff smile though.

Only been to The Lion for lunch as I live locally. Good choice on the menu and Sunday roasts are lovely.

We have always loved The Lion. Always loved the food and the service has always been great but sadly we won't be rushing back after last night. We booked for eight of us. Six of us arrived first were seated and drinks ordered. When the remaining two arrived they ordered drinks. Food order taken. Starters arrived and were lovely. Although one had soup and one of us had to go to the bit where the staff stood sorting orders to ask for a spoon as after a few minutes we realised they weren't bringing one. Had to ask twice to get more drinks and then each time the server walked off without checking if anyone else required a drink. One of our party had to get up again and go over to ask for the drinks. A pint of coke with no ice and a coke were two of the drinks. The person who ordered the pint of coke got half a glass and ice. When we said why is it half a glass we were told you asked for a bottle - no we didn't. She took it away with a bit of an attitude and brought a full glass back! I do wonder if the servers wearing those headsets is an issue as we had to repeat ourselves a few times through the night. A steak was brought out and the same server didn't know if it was the medium one when asked so walked off with it to ask then when she put it down she said it was rare! It wasn't. Another mixed grill was brought out but we already had the one ordered. We had to ask for more cutlery as it had been used on the starters. It was plonked in the middle of the table as though we were making a fuss. I always had their burger previously as it was delicious. Tonight's was dry and not half as tasty as previous occasions. They did come over and ask if everything OK- one person in our party said yes thanks. I honestly thought it was pointless saying anything to the servers we had cos they weren't listening or bothered up to this point. We sat there surrounded by empty glasses and pots for ages. One of our party put some of the glasses on the empty table behind to make some room in the end. I get it's a Saturday night- I've worked in the food industry but a little effort and acting like they were listening would have helped tonight! We left feeling very disappointed and won't be rushing back sadly.

Great atmosphere, really busy, great service

Excellent food, especially the pizzas.

Just nipped in for a quick bite, staff were friendly and allowed us to take any seat as long as we were gone 15 minutes before the reservation on the table. The pizzas are lovely! Perfect place for a few drinks and some food!

Lion burger presentation excellent chef made burger homemade onion rings 100% first class . The staff polite and attentive nothing too much trouble. Would seriously recommend.

Very bad. i dont know where to start. A family of five , with two young granddaughters. Three of us didnt have big appetites but they refused to serve any small plates for the sunday lunch because they were not under 12 years of age, so we ordered 2 large plates, and shared it, still loads of food was left. what a waste. Food was cold, so asked for extra gravy which may have warmed it up a little, when that eventually arrived, which was about half a cupful, guess what, that was cold too. I didnt have the energy to find anyone to complain. After eating, we sat there for over 30 minutes with our leftovers before eventually having to go to the bar to ask for the dessert menu and ask for our table to be cleaned. I complained when i paid the bill, but I dont even think the guy behind the bar would have mentioned it to the manager. One of the worse Sunday lunches Ive had the displeasure in years.

As regulars of this place I have to say what a massive disappointment tonight.. if it wasn’t for Kat doing her upmost we would have moved on.. The Sunday dinner is usually one of the best in Belper (hence y we return)however not tonight.. Our food was stone cold and the veg well so bland is an understatement, We complained And received our food for a second time well a lot hotter than previously ordered. But still bland and tasteless with no greens whatsoever or gravy as ordered .. what also surprised me was the table at the side of us asked if we had any spare gravy as there’s had not been delivered. We did make the waiter/manager know how disappointed we were but to be honest there was no care in the world or any apology to us bringing us a bill for £51… o and no professionalism taken with there chitter chatter behind the bar..I’m going to say as a local to this area we will not be returning and not now recommending this to others I’m very disappointed tonight

Overnight stay for a nearby family gathering. Easy, free on site parking. Reception, bar, breakfast and house keeping staff were all polite, helpful and friendly. Continental breakfast was good with obliging and friendly staff who quickly cleared and set tables. Bedroom spacious, warm and clean. All the hotel areas we accessed were clean, tidy and well decorated.

A group of school friends and myself chose the Lion to meet after not seeing each other for many years ! Although I’ve walked by this place many many times I’ve never been in ! The bar was busy and my only criticism was there wasn’t enough staff on the bar on what was a busy evening ! However that was the only negative, we were quickly shown to our table and served drinks as required and then ordered our food ! All of us ate something different but everything looked beautiful ! I had the fish grazer a selection of fish, whitebait, Gougons, Prawn, smoked salmon with a salad and sour dough ! It was amazing and at only £20 well worth the money ! A friend had the chicken pie which again looked beautiful ! Staff were attentive, friendly and organised ! I shall definitely make and effort to go back next time I go home x

We've been here a couple of times over the last few months for family celebrations. It's not a restaurant that I would personally pick as it's very expensive for what you get. The mains are around £15-£17 and the desserts are around £7.50. The food is nothing that I would hurry back for. It feels like it's trying to be a notch or two above the standard pub grub offerings, but for me the food doesn't match the prices. The pizzas are around £12-£14 with a large variety to choose from. I had the veggie one, but it was extremely salty. On another visit I had the fish and chips. The fish looked more like a battered sausage. I've definitely had better fish, but the chips are really good. One of our party is gluten-free and there was a good choice for her and my partner enjoyed his fish tacos starter. My parents live locally and come here regularly. A plus point for them being it is a dog friendly restaurant. Good points and bad points, but for me it's nothing to shout about.

Awful food, rude staff this place used to be nice but recently it has been horrible I had the salon and it was vile it just lacked flavour .

You're standard pub grub advertised as gourmet and priced as such. That said, service was excellent and the variety of dining areas makes the venue ideal for a variety of customers.

Very poor service, had to ask staff to clean table before we sat down as it was sticky/dirty.Pieces of plastic in 2 starters 1 inch long . Polythene sticking out of another starter. Never going back and would not recommend it.Apology received and starters not paid for. Even so very poor service

Stayed for a weekend. This place is clean. Some of the food is great some a little lacking in temperature at the point of service, it is also along treck from the kitchen. It’s in need of a refurb. It is also lacking in spare PowerPoints for charging phones etc. some guests moaned about the noise not a problem fir us in the hot room staying cool was our issue but hey ho we weren’t cold which is the main thing. Would stay again bargain prices.

My food was of a very poor standard. The fish was burnt and rubbery. I did let the waitress know this, but there seemed to be little in the way of an apology from the chef. The waitress service was of a good standard.

We chose this Hotel for a birthday and wedding anniversary function for forty people. We were very impressed with the events organiser, Megan, who was friendly and helpful especially as nearer the date changes were made and accommodated due to illness. The room was lovely and the food excellent plus the DJ kept things going well without excessive volume. There are always a few gripes, in this case the long wait for the people who ordered the fish so that the vegetables were cold, communication about the delay would have saved us looking round wondering where it had got to and fresh vegetables should have been brought with the fish. Insufficient gravy for the beef eaters was the other one, particularly annoying due to extra gravy being requested when the menu choices were submitted. But overall a very pleasant and well organised event.

Sorry but over rated. My daughters bought me for mothers day. I had fish and chips. Ended up with really bad stomach all night. Fish was awful.

Pizzas were great and extra toppings or changes to the menu list wasn't a problem.....also we had the best chips ever!

I can only speak of the rooms we had but it was terribly noisy. Both overlooking the smoking courtyard, no chance of peace. Currently I'm laying awake with children who can't sleep at 10 to midnight and there are people shouting out there. I'm not sure what to expect as it is a bar, and people have to have a place to smoke, but this is terrible. Wouldn't stay here again. Shame as the rooms are nice, as was the room service.

Fantastic Christmas Fayre meal, very friendly attentive staff, nothing too much trouble, would definitely recommend. We will certainly be back.

We didn't stay thank god...... But had an xmas meal 03/12/2022. The food was just about okay but the service was absolutely diabolical. We would have had better service in a drive through restaurant. The young people that served us (especially the female) should probably think about a career change as they made it obvious that we were a burden. NOT GOOD LION HOTEL

We went with friends for Sunday lunch after a long walk and really looking forward to Sunday lunch. Staff initially very pleasant, starters good. My husband and friend had liver which turned up tepid. It was returned and obviously microwaved. The roast was ok When the plates were collected and asked how meal was , not good considering Liver not touched. After that no one came to see if we were ok or if we wanted anything else. We even had to go to the bar and ask for the bill. All the time I had to see loads of dirty glasses on the bar not washed up. You need to review your customer service

Booked a table in the court yard. Very nice staff, attentive, polite. Sunday lunch Devine BUT, pizza really dry, no tomato filling, really dry, I will not be having a pizza again at the lion. I’ll try nanos in belper.

Good, attentive service, pleasant staff, clean bar and restaurant area. Good choice of food on the menu too. Reasonable prices.

I visited the Lion Hotel with a couple of work colleagues for lunch and we decided to have pizza. They were made and baked in front of us and were delicious as well as being huge. Very good service too.

This is a nice looking contemporary pub, with a “gastro pub” type menu. The pizza was decent and the peri peri chicken burger was good. Fish cakes were mostly bread and the bouillabaisse was awful. Chicken breast stuffed with mushrooms was dry and the soup...

Decent food. Sketchy service. Head waiter pretentious and inattentive. Sunday roast disappointing. Meat slices too thin Hazelnut brownie was very good. Fish platter is a good deal. Recommend for food but service needs improving.

We went midweek as a Birthday treat. We had pre booked , shown to our table after leaving our details and temperature checked , drinks order taken quickly along with our food order a short time later , my partner had a fresh cooked pizza which she said was delicious, i had a beautifully cooked steak and we shared a salad , good service and food with great hygine measures in place . Very enjoyable , one of our favourite places to eat in Belper .

Visited for breakfast on our last morning in Belper and we weren’t disappointed! Plated breakfast, fresh and appealing are well priced. Thoroughly well-looked after too!

Ordered a Capricciosa about 2 weeks ago and was charged £11 50p. I said it should be £10 as per the takeaway menu. Felt a bit 'done' that the lady on the phone was adamant I had to pay-up. I asked her to get the website changed. But, it's still on Facebook and website today [2 June] at £10. Which is the correct price?We are both Lion 'regulars', eating there frequently and really enjoy our meals. The bar staff are always friendly and helpful, so, I'm sure this is a 'blip' in the Lion's usually good service. We will therefore be returning as soon as possible.

What a great idea to offer a takeaway/delivery services during these worrying times. Food was just as good as it’s always been when visited previously. Great to be able to support a local business suffering during theses hard times. Keep up the great work guys it is much appreciated and stay safe

I stayed here for just one night on my way through from Worcester to Sheffield, Lovely room very helpful staff, cracking Pizza (made in front of you by the chef and then slid into a proper pizza oven).. a couple of pints of real ale and a very good nights sleep... The breakfast the next morning was excellent.. If I get married again I will have the wedding here.. (don’t tell the wife ) .. I would definitely stay here again

Had a very pleasant lunch last Sunday.Order for drinks taken and promptly delivered on arrival at our table, everyone enjoyed their choices from a wide choice menu served by attentive staff.All in all an enjoyable experience and will visit again.

We had booked for a pizza. After a wait in the room where the pizzas were cooked we were a little unclear how or where to place our order as no staff were present. I went firstly to reception and was sent to the main bar. A very nice young lady came to take our order. our starter of bread, oil and balsamic dip were promptly brought to the table. The main course of freshly baked pizza was ordered and quickly cooked. The friendly young Italian chef advised us well and we ordered the Margherita with sun dried tomatoes and king prawns. This was cooked to perfection and really enjoyable. Many thanks to the chef and the waitress who were both attentive and friendly.

Christmas lunch with family,service was very good,starters came out quickly and all very good,mains was served soon after,giving us a chance to chat in between,disappointed with amount off vegetables for six people,only ten Brussels between us and all vegetables were hard,rest off mains was nice.Pudding caused alot off confusion with the staff not knowing if it was brandy sauce or custard,although custard not a option on the menu,on closer inspection it was custard but head waiter (I think) tried to convince me it was indeed brandy sauce,but later offered a French coffee to make up for lack off brandy sauce. Enjoyed the ambience and staff on a whole were pleasant.

There was a group of us that attended the Christmas party which was located in the marque. The tables were dressed lovely but the chairs were way too low and I practically had my chin on the table. The whole evening was very average. It took a while for the starters to arrive and mine was cold, and lacking flavour. The main course took over an hour to come out too, and again was not great. The veg was undercooked and I needed a chainsaw to cut the sprouts. Dessert was lovely though. I can’t comment on the pub grub served in the main bar, and I will give it a try before I out rule returning. I hear the pizzas are nice!

Visited on a sunday night and was surprised how busy it was in fact it seemed to surprise the staff as they had to sort out the back room, scraping chairs and tables whilst we waiting on our food. Food was really nice. I had pizza - spicy beef not that spicy so good and my wife had a vegetarian salmon carbonara which you dont see very often. Service only ok

Having visited here before and always being left frustrated by the time the food takes to come out we thought we would give it one more try. We weren’t disappointed this time! It seems they have finally managed to get the food to leave the kitchen a bit quicker! We had a mixture of Sunday roasts and main menu meals. Very disappointing that there was no vegetarian option on the Sunday menu :( however the veggie option chosen off the main menu was very good! The beef and lamb were beautiful, the roasts and mash potatoes we one of the best I’ve tasted on a Sunday lunch out! Will 100% be back again for it. £11 for a roast beef dinner of a great quality is more than worth it! And the desserts were fab too. £6.50 for a big chunk of chocolate orange bread and butter pudding! Couldn’t fault any of it, great friendly staff too :)

Great Sunday lunch Great choice on the menu, good quality food at a very reasonable price & friendly/ efficient service. Would definitely recommend & we will return.

Struggled to find a table to eat but once we did service fab chicken tikka pizza yummy, burgers looked fab my husband said best burger ever!! Good choice of gins but a bit pricey. Didn't have pudding too full.

The meal we had was excellent - however they let themselves down by excluding some of our group because there was no vegetarian options on the Sunday lunch menu. Frankly it's quite backward not to offer a nut roast these days.

First time visit for my sons 18th birthday. When we arrived we were shown to The Vault. This is a cold, dull room devoid of any atmosphere. The tables looked like a local cafe and we were completely on our own. I did complain, and we were moved to a table in the dining room which was slightly better. Despite this bad start, the food was excellent and the pizzas were especially good. However, first impressions count and I don’t think I’ll be going back.

First visit and will not be the last. Staff, service and food excellent. Staff could not do enough for us.

Stayed a night at the hotel (which was poor). The restaurant was better (at average).

Great food, great drink, great staff. A really good range of different foods on the menu and a specials menu. Good atmosphere, relaxing.

Considerando la cucina inglese si mangia abbastanza bene Buona la pizza (pizzaiolo italiano) Birra ottima prezzo contenuto

We booked a family meal here and would definitely recommend. We live locally and this is not our first visit - as the food is great and we are never disappointed. Wide variety of food on the menu, every plate delicious.

We came here for a meal on a week night.i had fillet steak and a spinach saag to share for starters. I had mine medium, it was Cooked to absolute perfection and the peppercorn sauce was stunning, think tasty and creamy. It came with none greasy onion rings ( a rare find ) Hand cut chips and all was absolutely awesome. My partner had steak medallions rare on sourdough bread with liver pate, she said it was amazing and really well cooked. The service by a Lithuanian gentleman was second to none he looked after us throughout making us feel special and being attentive, kind and thoughtful even refilling our glasses as we ordered Prosecco.

We ate here early on a weekend day evening. We'd reserved a table that was cleared for us when we arrived at the pub. We chose food from the standard menu but many in the dining room were eating from the pizza menu (which looked very appetising!). We choose roast dinners, fish & chips and gammon & chips. The food was ok: the portion sizes were quite filling. Prices were reasonable. The service was 'fit for purpose' but not necessarily engaging.
