We arived at half past eight at night, was a little apprehensive about asking for a table due to the time. Was told it would be no issue, the pub was very busy. The food was served in decent time and had an properly homecook taste, feel and smell about it. Over all an amazing place looking forward to a Sunday roast soon!!! Two main meals, two pints and a soft drink forty-two quid cant complain. Absolute gem.

Went for Sunday roast with two of our friends. Lovely meal in a real traditional pub surrounding. Although they were busy the wait to place our order was acceptable. My wife and I have been to the pub several times but for our friends it was the first time and they were very impressed. The atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff make the British Lion well worth a visit. Thanks to all.

Great little pub, roaring log fire that was enjoyed on a cold day. How pubs used to be ?

This pub is very traditional and very unique. If you like an old fashioned pub with a personal service this could be for you. Plus it's in the best part of central Folkestone.

We enjoyed a couple of pints in one of two tiny terraces out back. It looks to be very popular with diners too so we'll be trying it for dinner or Sunday lunch sometime soon. The bar lady was very friendly too. Only thing that threw was that it opened at 7pm - who does that? I don't think it's open every day either which seems to be a Folkstone peculiarity.

Booked a table for 8 people for Sunday lunch. Our roast dinners were excellent, accomplished by lots of perfectly cooked vegetables. Those of us who had puddings were not disappointed either - all brilliant. The staff were superb and nothing was too much trouble. The ale consumed was also excellent. Fantastic, proper pub with a great atmosphere. We will be back!

Really lovely pub with great food and drinks. Dog friendly plus catered for a vegan in our party.
The whole experience was fantastic. The pub is a nice old fashioned building but the food is to sublime. Plenty of food, good value and great service. Plus there's a lot of good drinks on too. No negatives from

Absolutely delicious. An amazing pub/restaurant. The food is freshly cooked and absolutely loads of it. Delicious but not expensive. Been several times now and will keep going. The Sunday roasts are wonderful.

Stumbled across this little gem of a pub whilst going to a gig at the leas cliff hall, great beer and although I was too late to order food what I saw coming from the kitchen looked inviting.i will definitely return and recommend.
