The Red Lion, Snargate

A national treasure. In keeping with the wonderful Romney Marsh, this pub is similarly untroubled by modernity and all the better for it.

The Red Lion is like a time machine. Step in and step back to the 1950s.

A time where mild ales flows on tap, when Kentish ale is served straight from the barrel and when local cider gets you legless before you know what's hit you.

A time when strangers actually spoke to each other. A time before lager. A time before chargrilled chicken with chargrilled vegetables for �14.95.

A great pub. The drawback is that the Red Lion makes almost every other pub in the world a disappointment in comparison.
