Louie Montellano

Fantastic "old school" pub. The family went here for a Sunday roast and it was really nice. I remember coming here three years ago and nothing has changed. You get a proper family run pub feeling here. There's history and nostalgia everywhere. There's books, games, old photographs and menus highlighting the specials. Inside the pub is quite tight as the pub drinkers sit on stools near the restaurant seating. There isn't much parking around but it is worth the walk. Staff are very friendly and welcoming and the food is very good value for money. Will be back.

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.

Nathan Thorley

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 us

Ist time eating here and it was as good as it gets ,nice atmosphere when entering staff are very friendly and welcoming food came out hot ,you need to phone after 10 am to book a table a few days before I would recommend a try ,it's a really nice pub to go to for a meal and a pint

I never felt so welcomed as I did in this place. Dog friendly pub, lovely staff, atmosphere, and the food is just delicious, please try the lamb! 😋 I wish to go back soon.

It was many years since I last visited this pub and even longer since I first visited and what was a rather rowdy unprepossessing pub is now a good tradition pub and it is easy to believe it is the oldest pub in Folkestone. There are 3 ales and a good selection of other drinks. Food is served but I didn't eat here. The outdoor area was quite small but well kept and very pleasant on the sunshine

Great little pub. Was here celebrating the King's Coronation. Oldest pub in Kent. Cosy, great atmosphere food looks lovely too

David Simkins

The oldest pub in Folkestone and a very traditional gem. Located above the coast on The Bayle, in a lovely quiet spot next to a church. Received a very friendly welcome. Great choice of ciders & ales, and good, traditional pub grub. Easy to see how it would become a local’s favourite.
