Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Red Lion
Splendid-looking old pub (claiming a date of 1364) on a picture-postcard village green. Very much food led (and doing very well in that respect on a Saturday lunchtime), but not precious about it. The various seating / dining areas in an overall L shape have been refurbished, but in very sympathetic way. I found Shepherd Neame Master Brew, Greene King's Yardbird, 'Hardy & Hanson' Olde Trip and Harvey's (£6.20 with a packet of peanuts) being poured from the four handpumps.

. Wittenden left this review about Red Lion
A classic fourteenth century timber framed pub in a pretty village in the North Kent fruit belt-apples, pears , plums and cherries as far as the eye could see. Outside, some benches and a sun dial on the plasterwork-not sure if it works:inside, bare boards, tables laid up for dining and a central bar in front of you as you enter the pub. It feels as if it has been opened up-exposed studwork instead of separate rooms…
My visit was necessarily fleeting, but the ambience seemed good on a September Sunday lunchtime:people sitting out on the benches looking across the green to the ancient village church,or gathering round tables in the bar. Of the four beers available-Doom Bar, Old Speckled Hen, Master Brew and Old Dairy Blue Top-I enjoyed a decent pint of the latter.
When time is not at such a premium, I’d like to come back for a meal and a pint.
