Fui a visitar a mi familia y yo fuimos al otro lado de la Red Lion, diría que es uno de los mejores pubs de St Margarets el personal es muy amable y acogedor. El precio es muy asequible y el ambiente era increíble. No podía pedir más. Sin duda volveremos de nuevo.

Wish I could find something positive to say about this place, but apart from the attractive, traditional, flint-stone exterior, there is little to commend it. The barman was friendly enough, but sitting in there on my own one evening was positively depressing. I was there for a couple of hours without seeing another punter apart from a friend-of-the-house local who was propping up the bar and droning on at length. The place is far too bright inside, has no real ambience and is full of kiddies' toys and books, so maybe it would be a good choice for families? Why pay London prices for a pint in a place like this when there are other hostelries in town? The place has also stopped serving food altogether, but whether or not that was just for the season, I don't know. No music as such, just the telly blaring away in one corner to keep the landlord's kid amused. That just about says it all really.

I have drunk in very many licensed premises, (proud to be a Life Member of CAMRA), and The Red Lion in St. Margaret's-at-Cliffe is one of the best I have ever visited. My wife, our two Westies and I are down in East Kent for me to visit the area I grew up in. My wife is from Yorkshire, (I was born in Deal), and she said to me, only yesterday, that Southern people are rude, but, since being here since Friday last, she has found that to be totally incorrect... John & his other half - Jeanie, are salt of the earth, and cannot do enough to make us feel welcome, and we will definitely return next year for our holiday. Thank you The Red Lion

Nos encantó visitar este lugar. John era realmente amable y no podría haber sido mejor para nuestros dos niños pequeños. Él se disculpó por no hacer comida en la actualidad tan sólo puede criticar como un pub en vez de un restaurante. No obstante, nos hacen sentir bienvenidos y hasta nos llevó a una habitación de la parte trasera donde ha esta Stash increíble de objetos de Bond. Esta habitación está destinada a convertirse en una zona de comedor así que quizás la comida regresaremos cuando volvamos, que volveremos. Si estás buscando un buen lugar para descansar un rato, donde los lugareños y el personal es amable y acogedor, os encantará.

Ive revisited this fantastic establishment on numerous occasions over the last few months.And i can honestly say, with hand on hip, it just keeps getting better and better.Now along with a fine array of ales, bitters, ciders and strategically placed Corgi car models, the Red Lion now boasts its very own pool table.Which i have been informed is proving very popular with both locals and randoms alike.Unfortunately due to my age, all types of pub sports are strictly forbidden.But this does leave me with ample time to idle away many hours standing at the bar supping a delicious cold beverage whilst waxing lyrical to whoever will listen.My only slight niggle is as i am no going slightly deaf, the music could do with a tad more volume, as this can sometimes be a strain to hear.Do not even get me started on the crisps and nuts selection available.My they look good.I am getting married shortly for the eighth time (fingers crossed)And may wee enquire if the service and reception can be held there with a James Bond theme.A touch of class.I love this pub and wish i could move closer, as the twenty five hour round trip does wear me out some.I will return.

The Red Lion St Margaret’s at Cliff offers honest to goodness pub food. We had dinner there on Sat 22nd March 2014. We both chose the steak pie which was delicious, reasonably priced with very generous portions. This is not a ‘food by computer’ chain type pub or indeed a gastro pub. It is what has become a rarity, a friendly local pub serving good food.

Recently stayed at the holiday park and saw this pub a few times while driving past so we decided to pop in for some food, when we entered everyone seemed friendly and was asked if we wanted to sit i the restaurant or the bar, we chose the restaurant. We sat down and the chef came out straight away, he seemed a tad short and a bit like we were taking our time choosing what we wanted although he did make small talk. The lady at the bar was friendly and the food was nice and good value for money.

Not having been to the Lion for some time (changed job and area) I was intrigued to go back. Seeing the brown road signs suggested that I would not be disappointed.Wow! Three real ales to choose from, up from two the last time I was there, and the beef & Doombar pie was out of this world. Loads of meat and a pastry that is nothing short of superb.No wonder the pub has secured so many awards from industry experts and is so popular with local people.

I recently had occasion to visit the Red Lion whilst visiting relatives in the area, on the suggestion of several other customers I decided to have one of the hand made pies on offer and can say that it was one of the best pies I have ever tasted, it was full of well cooked meat and vegetables along with a delicious gravy, the pastry was one of the best short crusts I have ever had very light and crumbled to the touch. I will certainly be visiting there for the food again.

My wife and I were taken to the Red Lion for Sunday lunch last weekend, by friends of ours who live in Deal. They said that a new chef had started there and he was supposed to be quite good.I think my localnear Maidenhead serves the best Sunday lunch and I still think that. However, the Red Lion comes a close second in my humble opinion. Value wise, it cannot be beaten, even by my local.My wife and I loved it. A shame we can't be regular visitors to this part of the country - a beautiful place it must be said.

having driven through the village we stopped for sunday lunch as the 'lunch board' looked very good. we were shown to a back room and seated, main bar was very noisy with lots of swearing, within minutes there were our lunches and we hadn't even ordered ! no choice of meats, no choice of anything, we were given Pork, shop pots and yorkshire pud, a side plate with a few carrots and cabbage, and gravy already added ! no salt & Pepper, no apple sauce, not even an offer ! worse sunday lunch i have ever had, the lady next to us was told there is only one choice of pudding, so we half finished what we had been given, paid and left, a far cry from how they advertise on their website....

I was welcomed with genuine warmth and friendliness.Back on business in the area, this place sorts out the loneliness factor in travelling.Gregor, the landlord, made me feel right at home and introduced me to some of his regular customers, who made me feel like I was a regular. Some really nice people.Staying in a local hotel, I tried the real ale, Gadd's No 5. Very nice. A loca brewery I was told.Gregor went in to the kitchen and made me ham, egg and (the most amazing) chips, even though the chef had gone home. Awesome in all respects.And to cap it off, they have Skyfall stuff in the Bond Room. How did they get hold of that?Very nice, very very nice - a proper village pub.

Went to the red lion for my birthday having read all the good reviews on a Saturday evening. There was no menu only what was wrote on the board there wasn't much choice the James bond room was a tiny little room that needed updating and could only fit 3. Tables in our pies looked and tasted like they had been reheated a few times my mum nearly broke her tooth eating it. My daughters burger was burnt my sons ham was tasteless. And the eggs were very small. Nobody came to ask us if we were happy with our meal we are not usually people to complain but I don't know if the chef has changed because the food was terrible

How often do you visit a pub or restaurant where you have had a good meal the first time and the second time you come away disappointed ?. WELL this is not the case here as it just gets better and better!!!!. The first visit was great but the second visit was even better !!. Having visited earlier in the year we left ourselves a lot more time to enjoy our food and drinks and it was a real pleasure to have a lazy Saturday pub lunch followed by a stroll to work off the extra pounds. I went for the Beef and ale pie (and went with the Doombar to accompany it) and my wife had the turkey and stuffing pie with a soft drink. As well as great ales the pub should be known as the centre of the Pie World and will be pushing Wigan for the title in the future !!. Great beer, fantastic food and 007 James Bond as well, what more can you ask ??

My husband and I stumbled across this pub on our bicycle ride back to Dover. The chef put together an incredible meal for us (though choices are limited, pork and beef roasts were the only things on the menu on Sunday!). Everything was delicious, particularly the well seasoned vegetables and crunchy cracklin. The chef came out to chat and we learned he is remarkably well trained, rather friendly too! The meal (two roasts, two desserts, two beers, and tea) came out to just over 20 quid. It was a delicious meal and we would have paid double the price for it.

We stopped in at the Red Lion after a morning at the beach - having never been to this pub before I asked at the bar whether they would do some food for the kids. Les, the chef, immediately came out from the kitchen, asked what the kids would like and made the most beautiful fresh dishes which kept the kids happy and me too as the food was impressive quality. Adult meals were equally delicious, again excellent quality fresh produce, and the prices really competitive! A friend eating with us wanted a starter as a main course size and this was no problem. The service was excellent and we will certainly be back - the food and the atmosphere was great, the kids enjoyed playing skittles in the garden and we had an enjoyable and relaxing lunch - I can really recommend the sesame baked Brie!

Being in the area for a long weekend, my wife and I called in to the Red Lion to have a drink and possibly something to eat. Firstly the drinks, Sharps Doom Bar bitter was served and it was in first class condition, extremely drinkable (shame I could only have one as I was driving), my wife had a soft drink which was served just as she asked, lemon but no ice. Having read the menu we were convinced when we saw the food being delivered to the couple on the next table. We both went for the burgers which came so well presented that "burger" does not seem to do it justice.If you are in St Margarets at Cliffe this is well worth a visit as you will not be disappointed, well worth a 5* rating !!.

Stopped into 'The Red Lion' on our way home and found ourselves having a wonderful Sunday lunch and a few relaxing drinks whilst enjoying the sunshine this weekend.It's a good traditional pub with that 'feel good' vibe that most modern places have lost. Although it's a local pub in a small village we were made to feel welcome and were treated very warmly and well by the owners and patrons.The food was delicious and we'll definately go back next time we're in Kent. It's always a treat to enjoy excellent food in a great environment and at a price that is reasonable and real value for money. What made the visit most memorable for me was the dedicated 'James Bond' room which is a very discreet and subtle feature of the pub. Legend has it that Ian Flemming was a regular of the pub and that references to the Red Lion are made in some of his James Bond books and films. Great pub, good food and an enjoyable place to eat, drink and relax.

The food itself was very good quality, the chorizo scotch egg starter was very good but the pork belly main was even better. All five of us were very pleased with our choices. The Whitstable bay beer was also very good. Well done to the team there .

I phoned happy fryer up, asked about a breakfast to be paid over the phone and delivery. Was swiftly told “Can you call back in 10 minutes because he had customers waiting.” even though I would consider myself to be a customer. Just about to pay however gone elsewhere due to bad customer service.

Just popped in for guinness and black and what a warm welcome we had. Ended up staying for Sunday lunch which was very well cooked and they certainly did not scrimp on the portions and very reasonably priced at £14.95. Keep up the good service and thank you we really enjoyed our dinner.
