Antonietta BoschTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’re a traveling family and stopped in for quick lunch. Everything was awesome. Well done 👍🏽 Meli “Meli” AustinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just had the best steak and ale pie I've ever eaten here, in fact it was the best pie I've ever had, the pastry was amazing and the filling literally melted in my mouth. It was savory and absolutely delicious with a generous serving of buttery mashed potatoes and perfectly cooked carrots, tender stem broccoli and very generous jug of gorgeous gravy! Definitely a meal to remember! Thank you ☺️ GARY HOLLOWAYTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Good for a drink. John SproxtonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Called in on the off-chance while on holiday in the area. Great friendly service, good menu, clean & tidy environment. Good specials board and very tasty, well seasoned food. Highly recommended 👍 Georgina HallettTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 3 night stay in June, rooms are more than adequate, "dined in" the first night, food was tasty and well presented. Full English Breakfasts filled the plate and the belly😋..I would recommend the Red Lion, and stay again if I revisit Hythe. Suzanne BealeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We caught the steam train to Hythe today, as a family of five, to celebrate my birthday and discovered this little gem. Perfect service, nothing too much trouble. To begin with, we thought slightly pricey, but very rapidly changed our minds- gorgeous home cooked food and very generous portions. Definitely highly recommend and when we visit Hythe again- we will be back. Well worth every penny. Perfect 🥰
