Lovely pub with great atmosphere, good selection of drinks with amazing bar nibbles/snacks available. Very good food and service.

After the visit of Churnet valley railway, we wanted to have a lunch. We didnt book for a table on sunday roast and realised no proper table for 3 of us. We've been led to 1st floor with high chair and big projector screen for football. We ordered at the bar and foods came pretty quick and in a generous portion at this cost c.£12 for a portion of beef sunday roast was absolutely rare in this current era. The main point is that those foods were heartily made and so yummy. Plus ales and drinks we were well fed and absolutely glad we picked this pubs among a lot of them in the area.

Beautiful, cosy pub with a welcoming, friendly atmosphere. Delicious, home cooked food and amazing staff
We had a lovely catch up with friends on Saturday including lunch & a couple of bottles of wine - the pub is perfect for this as it’s relaxed & a great atmosphere. A negative review has been posted about a family being put with ‘very drunk people’ meaning us and i think that is really unfair. We might have been a little bit loud as we were celebrating & having fun but we would never have wanted to cause offence to anyone & if they had said anything we would have apologised immediately. We spoke to the family & the little boy. It is certainly not the pubs fault. We all have young children so would not intentionally swear in front of a child but we were adults in a pub having a good time & not in a restaurant. The staff are all really friendly & can’t do enough to make sure you’re looked after, the food is home cooked & all spot on - if only the family had spoke up it could have been nicer for all! We had a really lovely time.

What a lovely pub. Busy on a wet Wednesday in November - deservedly so. Great beer, tasty food, friendly staff, a pleasing hum of chat. Bloomin' wonderful.

The black lion is someone where I’ve always wanted to visit but never had the chance to go for different reasons.. How ever when a few friends suggested going here I jumped at the chance.Wednesday night at 7 and the place was buzzing. Every table was filled, the atmosphere was lively, but not in a loud way. It was great.If you are going to go, then I recommend booking a table, We did and it’s a good job else we wouldn’t have got in.Food was excellent and the staff were next level.Thanks again
