"This had been a review that I have been wanting to write for a while, but never got around to it, but after yesterday’s Sunday lunch I couldn’t forget anymore!! We have been attending the black lion since July when we moved to the village and found out that the local pub had been taken over by new landlords, and what a cracking job they have done so far! I’m a professional chef and been working in top restaurants and gastro pubs for the last 22 years and understand all the aspects of hospitality…and I have to say they made one of the best roast dinners I’ve had in a very long time! All the meats were cooked to perfection, alongside amazing array of veggies and fluffy crispy potatoes! Yorkshire puddings bigger than your fist, perfectly seasoned throughout and a tasty gravy to bring it all together! The landlords should be proud of what themselves and their team for what they have produced. This wasn’t a one time affair either….we have visited 3 times in the last couple months and has equally been as good each time and think we are becoming hooked I can’t speak for the rest of the menu as I haven’t seen it or tasted it, but if it’s as good as the roast, then you will be in for a treat! Brad and Natasha and the team are always very inviting and the atmosphere feels very relaxed, especially when the fires are roaring away! We will definitely be recommending this pub in the future to all our friends and local colleagues, and look forward to seeing this public house grow in the future as it deserves to."

Well what more can I say apart from what a wonderful mother’s day lunch. The pub was so, so busy and the service and food continued to be amazing. Thank you the Black Lion, Appledore
Patrick
Nice food but a little pricey for what it was. Service is a real disappointment though having to ask where to order and how to be served is very odd. It could be so much better with a little more customer care.

Has been renovated since my last visit. Traditional, and stylish. The new menu has good vegetarian options, and the food was well presented and tasted great. The staff were helpful and friendly. Perfect place for a meal, or a cosy evening drink. View menu

Sunday lunch. The pub was lively which was great to see. Service was excellent once it got going. The moules mariniere were the best I have had. Even better than in France. The fish was really excellent too. The gammon was a little dry the cauliflower cheese needed a stronger cheddar or maybe some mustard. Although not quite perfect it was a really excellent lunch

Outstanding character village pub that oozes charm and set in the heart of lovely Appledore village. Bradley our host is a genuinely warm , who instant made us welcome. Our Sunday roast lunch was beautifully cooked and comes with the usual trimmings. If like me you choose the mega roast choice of three from four roast meats) , do make sure you arrive for lunch starving! My choice of chicken lamb beef was hugely generous so be prepared to leave with a doggy bag! Excellent value for money Sunday roast lunch, lovely old pub in a charming Kent village, friendly staff, nice choice of ales wines, this free house pub has everything to wish for and more. We shall be back for sure!
