    Sadly disappointing, given its central position

    Wish I could find something positive to say about this place, but apart from the attractive, traditional, flint-stone exterior, there is little to commend it. The barman was friendly enough, but sitting in there on my own one evening was positively depressing. I was there...More

    Wonderful Pub in a quaint seaside village

    The Publican, John, was warm and welcoming. We went in for a pint, and ended up going back every evening at the end of the day. It's a wonderful place to have a pint, talk to the locals, and relax. They were always interested in...More

    Proper 'Local' public house

    Description: Built in 1825, The Red Lion is located at the entrance to St Margaret's at Cliffe. Recently refurbished, the pub has the atmosphere and welcome of a typical English village pub. The beer garden, situated at the rear of the pub, is open all...More

    AWESOME village hostelry!

    I have drunk in very many licensed premises, (proud to be a Life Member of CAMRA), and The Red Lion in St. Margaret's-at-Cliffe is one of the best I have ever visited. My wife, our two Westies and I are down in East Kent for...More

    We were in St Margarets for a weeks holiday in June, and spent most of our evenings in the Red Lion. We had a great time and must praise John on his lovely welcoming personality. He has a very clean pub and outstanding toilets. We...More

    Great little pub! The barman made it a fantastic atmosphere

    Best pub in st Margrets, even the locals where fun and made us feel welcome! Can't believe he has not seen a KFC drive through... The James Bond room was amazing!
