Rated 4.5/5 from 829 reviews on Google
Posted on Google bronte watsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had to find an emergency place to stay for the night, and here was available. On arrival the bar looked good, nice beers, no chef on that night sadly. The room was basic, the bed was super flimsy and uncomfortable. The shower door was broken so we had to shower very carefully. Also super noisey outside with tonnes of traffic all night.Posted on Google Derek “watchman” JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Fabulous meal in the restaurant, very relaxing atmosphere. Lovely friendly attentive staff and at a great price.Posted on Google Tom PointerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Brilliant and lovely place very friendlyPosted on Google Ben StrongTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Was in here Friday for a meal for 8. Food was extremely lovely. The staff, especially our server was amazingly polite, friendly and it was service with a smile. The young lady definitely made the experience. Highly recommended and can not wait to come back. A***********Posted on Google Vanessa ForsterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had 3 evening meals at the Red Lion during a recent stay in Hythe. Fabulous home-cooked food = the (shortcrust pastry) steak and kidney pie even had a tiny pastry lion as its decoration on top!! Loved the unique affogata dessert, not to be missed - and the amazing lemon meringue tart! The staff were all friendly and engaging = quiz night on Tuesdays!Posted on Google Alan PhillipsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had Sunday lunch yesterday. Food was excellent and the staff were so friendly. Credit to all, great experience. We will definitely return.
