lovely traditional old pub, the oldest in Folkestone apparantly, Abbott and GK ipa always on with an interesting guest always on and always well kept, the food is tops and one of the best fish and chips anywhere in the land

on a snowy cold thursday night. what better is there than a real coal fire and a pint of real ale?. well at the british lion you get both. intresting choice of beer though.living in guiseley i was suprised to see a wharfebank and a saltaire brewerys beer both brewed 3 miles from where i live yet 260 miles from home. any way the abbotts was on top form, i noticed the menu sourced all it food locally,and there was fresh folkestone crab {not frozen}although it would have been that nite ...lol. oh and thanks to the folk who roasted the chestnuts on the fire, they were superb
