In Feb 2022 the Feather Star relocated from 15 St Johns St to the Red Lion Hotel
There are five beers on hand pump, and it is expected that these beers will vary. There are also thirteen taps for Craft beers, and a keg cider. There is no hot food but a large variety of crisps and nuts are always available and "Smith Hall" Pork Pies and cheese platters are usually an option. Also, customers may take their own food to eat in the pub.
For those that do not know - a Feather Star is the name for a Crinoid fossil found locally in the limestone around Wirksworth.
Due to retirement the Red Lion was sold in 2021 and in Feb 2022 the premises were split into three separate businesses. As well as hotel accommodation, and the new Umami Restaurant, the pub side is now the new location of the Feather Star.
Historic Interest
Dating from the 1770s, this is a traditional town hotel with Georgian frontage and a large coaching archway entrance. The public bar is in "baronial" style with impressive timber ceiling structure and a fine bar-back with central clock. There is also a carved fireplace with large mirror over. Up a steep slope at the back is a boules court and small elevated garden.
