| I love everything about this pub - the atmosphere, the prices, the food. HOWEVER - there is one thing that really lets it down. The toilets. I dont know if it is just me but I find it really off putting going somewhere that doesnt even have sanitary bins for their female customers to use. And the hand dryer is probably older than me! In saying that the loos are generally quite clean (apart from on a Saturday night but you cant help that when there is only 2 WCs!) I would have given this place a 10 as it is always a friendly atmosphere and the only place in Sittingbourne for the grown ups to go and dress up (ulike The Vineyard!) but the loos really are a mass let down.

| Go into the Red Lion about once a month, went in last night (29/6/10) and the football was on. As usual the man behind the bar served us quickly and was friendly. Beer was nice, glasses clean etc. The bar and toilets are clean and tidy. I have never eaten in here but the menu looks good pub food. Well worth a visit if you are in Sittingbourne. nualabs - 30 Jun 2010 19:44 |

| A good pub is only good if the punters are. Well i drank in this pub for nearly a year, with me and my companions. I never ounce felt alone, the people in Sittingbourne, are welcoming, with gret wit, can have a good laugh at them selves, and overall, will make you feel the centre of attention. Then theres the staff, lots of them, you never wait on a pint, and they the all have that lovley banter about them. The drink, well the place iz imaculate, theres no funny taste from dirty pipes or glasses, and itz cold real cold. The best thing about this pub is the owners. Richard, his wife and family, give more warmth, time and respect to all who enter the door, than i have ever felt in any pub i have been in, and i travle all over the place with work. Problems dont occur, only soloutions. Ask, and they will help in any way. I will be back with my friends for the best pint, company, and that lovely fire, even though its 370miles away. That iz how good this pub and Sittingbourne people are. See you soon Richard, from me, big Stevy and the Electrical Alliance boyz. ped - 23 Dec 2008 08:49 |
| Visited this pub on 25th November 2006. Although I thought the Bull over the road was pretty nice, I think the Red Lion is Sittingbourne's best boozer. It's a fine 15th Century public house, with excellent facilities, a good choice of drink, and very good service. I could have sat in this pub for most of the day, but with match to take in, and several other pubs to sample, alas, I couldn't. Well done the Red Lion, although the competition in Sittingbourne is pretty poor, you knock the socks off most other pubs in the town. Also a nice beer garden to the side, but beware, there is a food area at the back, which on this day, was packed with kids! DAFCpubreviewer - 14 Dec 2006 01:29 |
