"My Wife and I were stopping overnight in Folkestone before catching an early Chunnel crossing. We’d lived in Kent 21 years previous and I really fancied a proper pint of Shepherd Neame Spitfire,other beers are available but this one is very good We did the usual and looked on Trip advisor and there are lots of three lettuce leaf and a smattering of gorilla glue on the side type of places if that’s your thing, no, I wanted pub grub. It came as a surprise that literally 0.6 of a mile I don’t do kilometres, google it or whatever is used for working such nonsense out)there was an oasis of pub normality, the Britannia, we were suited and booted in the blink of an eye and off down the road. It’s in a great location, there’s a car park and on street parking too. As we entered into the bar there was a crowd of people in there laughing and having a good time and then the big red sign hit me like a failed cricket ball catch, “ look, Hooligans lager”, I couldn’t believe it, after telling the northerners about this miracle elixir, anti ageing liquid,there it was, proud as punch. This brought on a rare moment of contemplation, Hooligans or a couple of Shepherd Neames best. I’m sorry to say I went for the Spitfire,this pub knows how to keep its beers and how to serve them, fanbloodytastic We asked to see the menu and as expected there was a great choice of proper pub grub, my wife had the Steak and Kidney pie, it was great, no searching around in a tasteless liquid for the filling, oh no, this was brimming with meat, I’m not sure how many cows went into it, but my Wife thanks you for your sacrifice. I opted for the Britannia burger, fantastic. Nice thick burger, onion rings, cheese and barbecue sauce, I may have missed some ingredients, but it was great. Mine came with a mountain of chips and a nice salad selection so if I wanted to I could pretend I was being health conscious , my wife’s dinner came with a mountain of chips too, and a very generous portion of garden peas that were very tasty too. After my very tasty mains, I decided to go all out and order a pudding,I chose the syrup sponge and of course, custard, loved it. Served piping hot, as in global thermo nuclear hot syrup as it should be), let’s face it, we’ve all scooped a spoon of syrup/sticky toffee/jam up to our lips and then had the mental discussion as to how painful it was going to be, now I know the adults amongst you would be saying,”blow on it, leave it for a few minutes, why didn’t you have ice cream?” But, where’s the fun in that? Did I mention the beer?. The publican was a very sociable host and his staff are excellent. Have a look at the menu, give it a go,we loved it. Check the food serving times and if you want fish and chips we were asked to pre order it, ie it wasn’t available at the time of our visit The Britannia 26 Horn Street, Hythe, Kent CT21 5SR"

I really enjoyed the cozy atmosphere of this small pub. The Spitfire Lager was delicious and the landlord and other customers were very welcoming. I will definitely be coming back.

Nice venue, clean and tidy. Staff very pleasant. Typical Shepherd Neame premise very expensive. As the nominated driver so not drinking to be changed £3.10 for a Coke spoilt the night.

The lamb shank night at Britannia was a delightful experience. The meal was excellent, the service was friendly, and the prices were reasonable. The pub had a warm and inviting atmosphere, making us feel very welcome.

Walked downhill from the nearby Holiday Inn Express with a colleague for a few drinks. Very hospitable host and the hand pulled beer was excellent. Intended to eat, but never got round to it! Wasn't busy, but the locals were friendly. The landlord kindly booked us a taxi back to the hotel. Recommended- both the Britannia the Landlord

We stopped here for a beer after visiting St. Martin’s church. Plenty of seating inside and out. Very hood service at the bar.Decent pint of Spitfire to quench the thirst. Reasonable bar prices. The pub has a bus stop on either side of the road where the number 10 bus stops . This route runs from Ashford and Folkestone, so no need to drive.

Last Thursday, my friends and I went out for our monthly ladies' lunch and chose this inn. The food was delicious - we ordered two beef mushroom pies with chips and peas, as well as chicken fillets in breadcrumbs with a salad and chips. The portions were generous and the flavors of the food were superb. The service was excellent, even though we had to sit outside because the restaurant was busy with a party of church ladies.

Enjoyed a really delicious English pub lunch here meeting friends who had travelled over on the Eurotunnel from France while we drove down from London. Plenty of parking in a nice countryfied environment just 7 minutes drive from the tunnel and 5 minutes drive out of Hythe. Food was great, beers went down well and the welcoming fire was lit to keep us warm. Landlord put himself out to welcome us even though we arrived before opening time.
