Hello All!, well back frommy hols, what a lovely place australia is,bloody long way though!. Though id visit everyone at the Golden Lion like I usually do!, what a change, the outside just hits you as you come round the corner! Good paintjob!. Had a wonderful pint of London Pride (or 10) and discovered that the winkle Club members did all of the decorating! Pat on the back for you! The place was as busy as usual and had a lovely visit....going to go there on New Years Eve this year, as they say it is the place to be in Dover on that day! bye all!!

Hello All!. Came through Dover again last weekend...what a crazy night Saturday was!!! Was told that the pub had been out on its yearly winkle walk, the state of some of them was funny.....The abbotts was beautiful, had a few of them. I think that this pub is one of the best in the town.I just wish that Exeter had a pub like it, good entertainment, although the DJ looked worse for wear,I think he must have gone out on this walk as well, lots of fun, laughter and complete craziness...perfect!

Hello All!...Sorry, Ive been abroad for a while and on my return to Dover, I once again visited "The Lion". It was Saturday 23 April, St George's Night. And just like it was last year, the boozer was festooned with flags, banners, uniforms, tiaras and medals. Good ol english music was being played and what a fantastic atmosphere. I fell out just after 12, was entertained with a lovely kept Abbott Ale, and a magnificent Bomberdier? ( or Charles Wells..as I call it!). had a good conversation with someone called Topsy! (a member of BITE..I must add!) Went back on the next day for more of the same and the theme was still going!..wish we had pubs like this in Exeter!!!!!, fancy moving guys????. Keep it going top rate pub!

Have returned to the pub since my last visit, excellent beer, excellent company...where is this Mogul?. If it was that good...why is it closed then? I thought good pubs such as the Lion, prosper and went on, what happened?

Well, I saw the write up on this pub and decided that I had to visit it!. I arrived on saturday evening at around 8.30. It was very quiet, so I hoped that I had not wasted a journey, as I live in Exeter, and was staying in the local travel inn on the seafront.
The Landlord, who is called Rab, but most of his customers call him "Donkey" ( I hate to think why!) was having a banter with his customers and his DJ, whom he called "Fandango", whom I must add was very funny and seemed to revel in what was going on!
When the Music/Karaoke started, I was amazed at the quality of the sound that filled the pub, but some of the singers left a lot to be desired!, The pub I must tell you was full by 9.30 and was banging by 10.....and so was my head! I was not going to stay long, as I wanted to visit some other pubs in Dover during my weekend stay in Dover... Im glad I did'nt..what a pub!, good ale, company and customers!!!! 10 out of 10 in my book...Ill be back!!!!

The Golden Lion, Dover
Hello all!,well it's been a while since I visited the Lion. It was St George's day again, and as usual the place was full to the rafters!, do surprise there. Lots of people in bow ties, dresses and lots of flag waving and patriotic stuff in progress!. Music was good, lots of stirring English stuff! The beer, excellent as always.I just wish we had a pub like this in Bristol, but never mind!...excellent!
