Cramptons, Broadstairs

What a dump ! Where do you start - perhaps when you go to the bar and try to get served. The young staff are either talking to each other - or on their phones - or huddled round a laptop ! deadful. Thorley style standards and service mt a**e ! In the garden - supposedly the best around - nearly every table covered with used plates and glasses - No thanks

Red Lion, St Peters

Used The Red Lion many times. Very well kept and well managed local Pub. 2 real ales always on, Ruddles or Doom Bar only �2.40 pint ! Don't know how they do it when you compare to other local pubs (Thorley) .
Always free bar snacks available - they even bring out garlic bread or pork pie & quiche etc., when there is a crowd in. Regular entertainment. Brilliant smoking area with real fireplace working in cold weather.
They do lunches in bar area and have Restaurant on first floor where they do a brill Sunday Lunch.
Worth a visit - we should support our independent local Pubs while they are still there - no good whingeing when they are all gone because of the Supermarkets and Government policies !
