The British Lion, Folkestone

One of Folkestone's oldest pubs (records show a pub here since arond 1640), the British Lion is a welcoming, cosy establishment currently owned by Pubmaster having previously been a Whitbread pub. A thriving local community has card and darts teams. Normally 2 GK and two guest beers, and localy procured food is served, simple but good-value fare. A good old fashioned town pub which deserves its GBG entry. I had a pint of GK IPA which was well kept, served at the right temperature and was exactly what was needed. Well worth a visit when in town, and should form part of any town crawl.
