  “We hadden plaatsjes bezocht op Sheppey en kwamen bij deze pub uit voor eten. Ik denk dat het wel rustiger was dan normaal. Het eten was perfect! Het personeel was bekwaam en zeer vriendelijk. Een aanrader om hier wat te drinken en/of te eten.”

  “I visit the Red Lion often for catch up meal with friends or a cheeky lunch with my husband while kids are at school! However, yesterday I booked for a surprise meal for my mum's 60th, we pre ordered all the meals except my mums. Jeanette was welcoming from the moment we arrived, checking in about the food saying she won't start cooking until everyone was here and seated. The food came out quickly and we were all pleased with the size of our meals. The food was delicious, as always, my fussy 9 year old cleared her plate which is very rare when out! I had purchased a cake and cupcakes from tesco which we'd handed over to Jeanette on arrival, when we said to bring the cake out I was amazed at the presentation Jeanette had done to these shop brought cakes they looked amazing on a wooden board with strawberries. My mum has lived on the island 60 years and had never visited the Red Lion before but she's already said she will be back. Thank you Jeanette and the team so making yesterday's meal perfect 👌”

  “Not a bad pub, cosy and good music but knocking a star off for a very basic beer lineup.”

  “On a visit from the states, spent the day at Minster Beach. Took a chance on the Red Lion and am so glad we did. The friendly server explained the special- the Sunday Roast. The food was plentiful and delicious! And the price was very reasonable. I would definitely recommend!”

  “Full disclosure upfront: The Red Lion was my grandparents’ pub back in the 1960s, and my Dad suggested we pop in for lunch with some friends while we were in the area. I’ll admit I had my doubts — it’s a little out of the way, and on previous visits it’s been quiet (albeit very cosy). I need not have worried. The place was packed, full of energy, warmth and proper Friday‑lunchtime buzz. The service was superb — thoughtful, speedy, and genuinely welcoming. Drinks arrived quickly, the food was excellent, and the whole atmosphere felt like a proper community pub firing on all cylinders. A special shout‑out to the owners, who have hospitality running through their veins. They were friendly, attentive, and clearly take huge pride in what they’ve built here. I asked whether this level of business was a one‑off, and the landlady smiled and said it’s like this every day of the week. That honestly warmed my heart — it’s wonderful to see the pub thriving all these years later. For me, this was more than just a lunch; it was a lovely return to where I was born, and it exceeded every expectation. A brilliant find, highly recommended :-)”
