The Red Lion in Amber Valley

Great pub, went on a Saturday, disco and karaoke. Drinks are very reasonably priced and everyone is friendly.

I like it, it's not every ones cup of tea, geniune boozer.

Thursday night is quiz night, which is a bit of fun and not serious.

Nice place great prices but just a little bit quiet on a Sunday afternoon

Nice place to pop in for a drink and a game of pool. Karaoke on a Friday night at 9pm if that's your thing. There isn't much parking unless you can get on the road outside though

The landlady literally threw me out instead of letting me passively keep watch over a family member who had already vomited on herself. I don't think anything else needs saying.

Outstandingly clean and pleasant. Great staff

No longer a wetherspoons!!!!! So no decent ciders

Best it's looked in years nice drink good atmosphere

Not a bad pub at all. Didn't look much from the outside but pleasantly surprised by the interior. Decent pint of Abbot Ale, friendly barmaid and a nice pool table... Just what we were looking for

Live place now there is a change of management!

The red lion was lovely nice buffet lovely staff and over all brilliant service

Not very clean and not professionally run don't go in anymore.

A good honest, friendly place. Clean and welcoming. Unfortunately it was very quiet and not what it used to be but that's not a reflection on the place or staff! It just needs people to go back in! Live entertainment. Dogs allowed.

Nice and clean, staff we're extremely friendly and efficient.

Not the best, quiet on a Saturday night about 15 people. Staff putting chairs on tables around 10:30. Can't comment on the drink as I had a bottle.

Having great drinks, love the pub to meet family

This was a very poorly managed pub the landlord was rude and disrespectful, hence why my visit lasted all of 3 minutes. No wonder there were no customers in the pub.

The new decor is lovely, friendly staff very welcoming, thank you 😊

lovely town pub.clean airy and great landlady.dog friendly and drinks at right prices👍

The new management has really done a good job of sprucing the place up. Unfortunately I can't recommend it for families, pussay, but the atmosphere has gotten a lot better. Drinks are reasonably priced and they have started doing cocktails which you can buy separately or in a pitcher. They've also started to get decent entertainment on. Worth going to to the red lion again.

Haven't been able to get over here since October due to covid and us living in stafford. Such a warm welcome to us visiting agin. Lovely bar staff and excellent management, would highly recommend a visit.

Lovely pub great beer and very friendly land lord and land lady

Landlady and staff 1st class.....well recommended.....proper beer at proper prices .....always welcome......especially if you behave ....

We went for a family birthday, recently taken over by new landlords lovely people, accodamating all staying to covid rules. Would like to praise and recommend this pub, great place to visit

Good beer at a very reasonable price 👍

Only when they sold food so Not now

No longer weatherspoons always busy good atmosphere and good food and service. If you don't mind mic ng with the locals x

Used to be a good place, called Friday afternoon. Wont be in a rush to return. Sad times for Heanor

My first time in the Red Lion pub for 10 year being as l live at Chapel St-Leonards. What a change. Not what I remember the pub to look like.

Allways. My pub lol really nice people. Live music .disco and TV. Nice family pub

Very friendly and welcoming, had a great time with karaoke. Really Enjoyable

iThe music was to loud and it was dead

Gone right down hill since it was wetherspoons nd it wasn't much better then . Not my kind of place .tatty dirty and rough

Top landlord and cracking pint what more can ya ask for

Very clean and friendly, met with a warm welcome

Fantastic landlord brilliant an friendly staff.good clean pint an very warm friendly pub. Bestbpub in heanor.

Well kept beer ever changing , no food.

Lovley pub with a outdoor area to sit in the sun lovely staff x

Great ale at reasonable prices you can take dogs in too.

Not bad a bit dated but has pool table which is always good

Friendly place ,they don't serve food anymore ,and the beers are good The staff are sociable and friendly

Friendly staff lovely pub. Jst a shame they dont serve food.

Nice friendly people, Matt is brilliant behind the bar

Because it's cheap and the food is great value for money.

Always good breakfasts, friendly staff and lovely locals.

Visita temprano para cenar con amigos. He estado aquí antes para desayunar y ha sido muy impresionado. La cena también era muy sabroso con generosas porciones. Yo tenía queso, patata y cebolla tarta. Me dijeron las comidas carne también estaban bien. Y los pudines eran preciosas, el cheesecake horneado era delicioso! Selección limitada para los vegetarianos. La comida llegó en buen tiempo y era muy buena relación calidad-precio. La mayoría del personal era muy amable, aunque nunca he tenido comida en algún sitio cuando la persona toma las placas de distancia nunca incluso nos reconoció, hablaba o sonreía - dos veces! No dar una buena impresión, pero no arruinó la visita. Una cosa que no me gusta es los fumadores parados en el Puerta, había alguien allí cuando entramos y cuando nos fuimos, y para no fumadores de no es agradable. En general una visita agradable, ciertamente no con hambre!

Popped in on quiet monday afternoon and first time I have visited since it has been an ex Wetherspoons.Camera cards accepted which made the ale £2.15 and it was a nice pint of ipa.Friendly people serving and still had a spoons feel about which is ok.Toilets could be better but overall not bad.

Cheap fast food. Good low priced beer

Exactly what you would expect. Low cost food. Low cost drink. Friendly but rough around the edges. An ex wetherspoons with ex spoons clientele. I always enjoy my food and my drink here. Bar staff are very friendly and the chef also. Worth each penny I spend there.

Not witherspoon anymore gone right down hill

10 of our family met here we travelled from leeds , definatly come again the food was piping hot and the beer was on point, great selection of ales friendly and happy staff 100% reccomend

Beer is king in this place. Such enthusiasm for the stuff. Well kept, fresh tasting and really well looked after. Used to be a Weatherspoons and the beer standards are fab. We had steak and it was very good, beautifully cooked and presented. Friendly staff and plenty of room too.

Gone down hill since it changed hands. Still a decent beer selection at good prices but the food portion was insulting. Felt sorry for the waitress who had to serve it. Their portion sized are pre determined, so the upshot of complaining is like it or lump it. Won't be eating there again, and suggest you don't bother either.

A little rough but its an ok wetherspoons.

I like this pub, it has a comfortable eating area with friendly staff. Good varied menu. Were there for breakfast this time but dinner options looked tempting. The vegetarian breakfast I ordered arrived quickly and was generous, tasted really good and was well cooked and presented. Would certainly recommend.

Used to be part of Weatherspoons but has recently been sold on. Cheap drinking pub popular with its regulars. Food is good value.

Went for a late lunch with family.Main meal was ok .But our sweet course waited for 40 minutes .Only to find out we had paid for sweet and order had not even gone through to kitchen.Waited another 10 minutes and sweet finally arrived.

Finally got round to paying a visit. This pub is no longer part of the Wetherspoon`s chain but is just as good. Vegetarian breakfast, at £2.99, was generous and delicious and included 3 hash browns, 2 fried eggs, Quorn sausage, beans, toast and butter and tomato. This was the smaller version, there is also a bigger one at £4.75, I believe. Friendly service as well. Am told the main meals are rather nice as well so may well have to pop back soon..... My only gripe is that I could do without smokers standing right outside the door but I`d rather them be there than inside! To sum up give it a go.

I was hungry while my car was getting a MOT Next door, i went in without any knowledge of the place and was very impressed, the food was fresh and well cooked, they had a clean place, lots of condiments and the bar lady even came to check on me during my food, i cant say how good this place was on visit in words, you have to visit to really see the value,

Visited Heanor and headed for the Wetherspoons as we wanted to stop somewhere for lunch. We sat down and had ordered a coffee while we looked at the menu. Once we had sat down we realised the seating area looked dated and in real need of a refurbishment. Not like other Wetherspoons we have been to. There were several men drinking near the bar and seemed very noisy We really didn't feel like eating there so left without ordering. Did not seem very like a Wetherspoons at all.

Always made to feel welcome, staff is always pleasant and helpful. Our meals have always been as we were expecting them to be. Had steak tonight and asked for it blue and got it. ....Blue....which is very rarely done! !It is great value for money, and is always our port of call wherever we are.The only thing would be that it needs a bit of an update. ...chairs often creaky if not broken!

Called in on sat morning for a "full English"Good service , nice food ,great value. It's a Whetherspoons outlet so its a "marmite " thing.

The whole place is dark and unclean looking. The food is mediocre and many of the staff are unprofessional and scruffy. Was served a drink in a dirty glass. The pipes needed cleaning. This place seems to be in deep decline over the past few months.

Dreadful going to the bar and having to put up with the local 'potty mouths' . I had my 8 year old with me and they do not bother! Shame the staff do not want to save their jobs. Hope the staff are happy to go out and with lot when they have lost their jobs! #Thoughtnotgetreal

We go as a family of 4 most weeks and usually go on a Tuesday which is steak night, food is so quick to come and very tasty AMAZING value.It's a pub and not a restaurant but waitresses are great, bar staff friendly and menu is extremely varied.

Reliable good beer at amazing prices.Great staff.Good to see the Weatherspoon's menu is getting updated a little as was getting tired.But food is always consistent even though prices have gone up recently.Don't miss visiting when we are in the area.

Cheap beer and cheap food which hits the spot ....... say no more. Frequent The Red Lion because of its the cheapest in town

Just been for lunch and yet again couldn't have the food that we wanted as they had run out . We come here every month and it's not the first time this has happened. This is our local pub,the staff are always friendly but its a shame that this happens quite regularly. Never mind we will see what happens next time.

Its a Wetherspoons, if you like microwaved food and over cooked steaks then this place is great.But it is dirt cheaps and most drinks have a pint thrown in, you can really go wrong.

This wether spoons was the worst that I have ever been in its tired decor and generally cleanliness seemed well below a normal wether spoons the food was ok but the clientele were not the type you would like to eat around staff were friendly also all the sauce bottles were virtually empty and filthy round the tops will not be goin in again

Every time I have visited the Red Lion I have been so impressed with the excellent friendly smiling staff. Food , service and hygiene are 100%.

We found the staff to be very curtious and efficient. We had a fish and chips value meal, which included a drink. The meal was hot and tasty, arrived really quick. All the tables were tidy and clean will certainly go again. Bargin at the price.

the food is often not all there , and not allays cooked to its best , but its cheap and out the rain i have been in worse places , just watch out for the language of the locals if you have children

the food here is reasonable within its bounds. it's value is good and is alongside other similar eating places in price. it does have the odd hiccup, but the staff soon rectifies with sincere apologies. staff are very friendly and helpful. on the down side....1. there is no parking to this pub, (or if there is, i did not see any) and the road is flanked with double yellow lines and restrictions. 2. the regulars seem to dislike a strange face gracing their territory and it shows. the staff made me feel very welcome but the regular customers for drinks, shown animosity and bully tactics regarding who's turn it is to be served even when an orderly queue has been formed. a good job that the bar staff keeps an eye open. i will eat here again when passing through if i can find somewhere safe to park. worth a visit for substantial food.

Went there recently with some of the "footie" parents from Shipley Park Rangers FC (under 11's) was a great evening, good drinks and great happy friendly staff, prices are good and atmosphere was nice, no loud music or juke boxes where we sat - i loved it

Food here is always tasty and the service, even at busy times seems swift. It's a standard Wetherspoons menu and I've always found the staff efficient.

the food is good even better for the price and has a great bear garden
