Peak Edge Hotel is marking a major anniversary in October, with Santiago Garcia Perez – the father of current owner Steve Perez – taking on the Red Lion 60 years ago and giving the inn a new lease of life.
As the celebrations approach, Peak Edge have shared a number of retro photos – which are sure to bring memories flooding back for anyone who has visited the Red Lion in the past.

3. History and heritage
The Red Lion’s history stretches back to 1788, and the inn has long been a place where local people have gathered, celebrated and made memories. In 1965, Steve’s father, Santiago Garcia Perez, purchased and restored the pub, helping establish its reputation for food and hospitality. Photo: Peak Edge Hotel
4. New chapter of family ownership
