The Red Lion at Kniveton - East Midlands CAMRA Cider Pub of the Year 2023 & 2024

The Red Lion at Kniveton is the tap-house for the Kniveton Cider Company. We pressed our first apples, collected around the village in 2012 resulting in 200 gallons of "Never Mind The Hillocks" - a dry, sharp Eastern Counties cider.

As well as our own cider we have an extensive range of bottled ciders and perries from some of the very best small ciders in the UK.

We a;lso stock beer.
