The Red Lion in Shepway

Had 1 drink expensive dark and dingy

A charming local pub, largely unchanged for decades. Long may it remain that way!

old original pub no food served only bar snacks very quirky certainly worth a visit

A wonderful piece of England that still exists.Lovely place with lovely owner&staff and equally lovely customers.Makes me feel properly alive when I travel the 71 miles just for a shandy 👍😉

Four star for caricature going back 60 years in time worth a visit and drink prices good . no food drink only crisps and peanuts.

An incredible pub, part of our national heritage, like stepping back in time 70+ years. Great ales, no food, but atmosphere and a warm welcome by the spoonful. A must visit.

A very traditional pub. Real ale, still cider, real fire, outside toilets, no TVs or 'music'.

Wonderful pub, full of atmosphere with incredible wartime memorabilia and vintage pub games.

A step back to a better time is what you get at the Red Lion. A wonderful place serving great Ales and Ciders, with great atmosphere and very convivial!

Best pub grub in Medway. Quaint old pub, lovely staff.

Time capsule from 1920s. Old codgers' pub serving real ale. Limited opening times. No food served. I have no idea how they manage to stay in business, but I'm glad they do!

Excellent pint in a lovely pub. Will be back soon

Unique pub. A museum that serves beer!

This pub is unique and is also so much more. You are walking into living history it's like stepping back in time. Superb real ales at excellent prices to. 👏 can't wait to return, it's an amazing place with a wonderful atmosphere and very friendly customers and land lady.

Proper traditional pub, nice & cosy.

Great old fashioned country pub, well worth a visit

Absolute stunner of a traditional olde worlde pub. The customers are all very friendly. If you haven't been, you are in for a treat. If you have visited before, you will know the joy it brings.

Such a great pub. Good beer in an awesome setting.

Like going back in time. Such a treasure, please go you won't be disappointed it's a classic pub no food but great ales.

The greatest pub in Sussex. It is unchanged since the 1940s love it

Great service, atmosphere, company and beer.

Good craic in there dinner time .Real nice pint.

A step back in time. A real gem in this modern world!

Probably the best pub in Kent.

Wonderful traditional old pub just like they used to be A real time warp everything as it should be, beer straight out the barrel , and a lovely rural location, what more could you want.

This place is like stepping back in time. My dad loves this place so took him there for a father's day beer.

A real life time capsule- I hope it never changes.

Stopped here on a VMCC motorcycle outing. Fabulous, genuine unimproved country pub with good beer, a real rarity now and should be seen while it still exists.

A lovely little independent country pub with a selection of ales and ciders. The atmosphere is really friendly and Kate and Bob are really welcoming. They have a choice of plants to buy out the front if you would like any. I have it on good authority from other satisfied customers that they look beautiful in full bloom. Definitely will be going back again

Excellent yesteryear pub, wish there were more pubs like this one. Cask ales served, no modern tec, people talk to one another instead

Lovely little pub, been there a couple of times now, took my grandson with me today (24) he absolutely loved it, it takes you back at least 40 to 50 years, maybe more as Imn only a youngster (68) ha ha

A quirky little pub which transports you back in time. A real ale drinkers dream on this visit Easter Ale by Rother Valley Brewery and a The Pardoners The canterbury Ales. Tenterden Cider. A large beer garden. And most import £3.30 a pint. The pub also has Toad in The Hole a traditional Sussex pub game. Give it a visit you wont be dissapointed.

Hidden gem! Very quirky...Nice friendly atmosphere. Interesting memobilia. Just wished they served sauvignon blanc....

Great cosy local pub filled with history! It’s like stepping back in time, the posters on the wall are from the Second World War. Been in the same family for many years. Friendly staff and locals. A little fire was blazing as you walk in, games available to play, beer (local ales and cider) and wine available. Drinks only pub. A must visit!

Wonderful olde world pub where time has stood still. Wonderful local real ales served straight from the barrel. It is like a museum unchanged for many years complete with an old style cash register. Very, very friendly locals and staff. Much wartime memorabilia and old furniture. It has been in the same family for many many years. A must visit.

This is a perfect Pub. Highly recommend

Never been but just read some stunning reviews on Facebook after Landlord kicked arrogant fox hunters off his car park . Rated as a top bloke, if the pub is half as good, make sure you visit.

Best Inn in this country but I think they are still a bit worried about this covid (and they sell real Beer)

Good ale at good prices in a nice old pub

Lovely pub and a very friendly welcome from the landlord.

Unique pub, I hope it never changes. Open the door and go back 100 years. Real ale, friendly pub. I had a pint of Mild , delicious.

this is one of the best pub's I've been to for many years, it's like stepping back in time, the pub hasn't changed much since the second world war with original posters warning of possible coming invasion, great beer but NO larger, no music and no slot machine, just the way it was in the 1940s also if you want food, forget it, just chrips, having said that I can highly recommend as staff are extremely welcoming and you can sit there taking in the atmosphere of this 100% authentic pub

This is an authentic country pub. Real ales. Genuine landarmy memorabilia. This pub has been in the same family for over 80yrs. No food and such but, you really have got to visit. Try to check in advance, the pub is limited open days & hours. But do, I mean DO, make the effort. You will not be disappointed

Lovely menu, pleasing staff, clean, tasty food.

The most wonderful pub you will find! Like going back in time. A great place to pass the time with a pint or two.

Pork belly was way too fatty, even for pork belly, but at least the dog ate well. Aside from that, this is a lovely pub. The other dishes looked much better and maybe my portion was a one-off. I'd be prepared to give it another go.

You have to go. It's how pubs used to be.

Great beer, friendly staff, unique interior and atmosphere.

I have known this pub for over 50 years and in that time it has not changed. It is still a basic pub that serves some of the best craft Ales available. Do not miss visiting if you have the chance.

Lovely cosy place, everyone very friendly , been in same family for over 100 yrs

Doesn't look much from the outside but stepp inside and WOW ! Like going back in time. 😀😀 Run by Kate the daughter of late WWll land army girl Dorris. The regular local clientele add even more character (if that's even possible). Old style games in the lounge; even show you how to play them, eg. toad-in-the hole. Don't expect any food. Barr snacks only. Keep up the good work Kate.👍👍👍

Cracking little quaint pub in Snargate. No cards, little lighting, massively friendly.

An old favourite. Great ales and history

Just the most amazing pub - I would highly recommend a visit. An extraordinary piece of history.

Awesome place, a living working museum.

Love this place full of character

lovely quaint pub, like stepping back in time

Proper pub takes you back when pubs were pubs

Lovely old world cosy pub. Friendly atmosphere. Recommended

Love it. Been going there for over30 years. Only a few time's a year, but it is my favourite pub of all time, and I've been in a few pubs.

Absolutely great pub to find in Kent. Cosy atmosphere, lovely pub with so much history. Large beer garden to enjoy. Went when the beer festival was on, good selection of beers and ciders. Only downer, no food. But maybe that's a good thing!

I really like the atmosphere of this pub. It's so historic and I don't mind that they don't take card payments as they do nice drinks! We went to the beer and cider festival recently and it was great!

One of the finest pubs in Kent, perfect hosts and great beer

Great pub, excellent food and beers, excellent service, friendly and polite staff

A time warp pub that must be visited if you have a chance, I don't believe that the lefty liberal elite (Kent division), will leave this four generation family run pub alone for much longer.

A cracking little pub where a group I was with while studying the battle of Britain were able to relax and discuss a few of the key themes of this critical time in British history. The pub has its own mini museum fostering discussion about the key protagonists of the conflict. I'm planning to run a similar study in future and I will be adding this place to the itnerary. The staff and locals were all very friendly. Thank you all.

Very good old style pub. Good atmosphere.

Called in again yesterday. Excellent egg and chips (pickled and crisps). Well worth a visit. Excellent beers and cders

Amazing pub just like it was in 1942 with many old pub games beer served from the wood great pint of mild, marble and pewter bar over 100 years old, been in the same family for 107 year. No food served here apart from crisps , pickled eggs and onions Not many pubs like this left anymore worth a trip for sure

A unique step back in time. Has to be seen to be believed!

Legendary pub! Superb range of beers and excellent ambiance. Remember they don't do food- this a pub as it used to be!

Je tam pohoda s dobrým pivem, lidmi i prostředím.

Traditional English pub, with character and a lovely outlying garden.

Quaint old pub.. Drinks don't seem to be chilled. Ok for a quick stop. No food

It's like stepping back in time don't think this has changed much in over 50yrs. Well worth a visit.

Nice quiet old fashioned English pub

A time warp pub which hasn't changed much since WW2, still posters featuring Churchill on the wall. Good range of beers. Well worth a visit

Cannot believe how friendly the people were, lovely real ale and a lovely welcome to both humans and dogs!! olde worlde at it's best.

A truly amazing pub. Welcoming staff, lovely beer, wonderful decor, old fashioned lighting and seats, fascinating memorabilia, games and history. No machines or recorded music, just rich conversation. The landlady, Doris, told me she was from London, came down here as a land girl in WW2, married a local and stayed. Surely it's the best pub in England, so therefore the world as no other country has pubs quite like ours.

awesome time warp pub with loads of history.

Great pub. So cool. Being that old.
