Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Just lovely!
    My partner and I ambled in (on the off chance) and we were not only greeted by the warmest of welcomes but equally a couple of the most refreshing pints we’ve had! Especially after tackling the White Cliffs!
    The food was Hot and Hearty and absolutely hit the spot!
    If you’re in town, pop in, you won’t be disappointed and if you’re not make the trip! We will when back again.

    This pub has a great selection of beer. The venue is quaint and had a warm friendly feeling. The bar staff are super helpful in assisting you to choose the right beer for your liking. I'd recommend this place to all beer enthusiasts in the area.

    The last time I was here I was with a guy with a bittersweet face. His name was Ebeneezer.
    He was the main geezer and he could vibe up the place like no man other could.
    He is the type of geezer who should never be abused.

    What an amazing venue !. The decoration is incredible so much to look at , very quirky.
    it was only 6.30 when we arrived and there was already a live DJ playing up in the roof area.
    Staff were very friendly and the drinks very competitively priced unlike other venues nearby.
    We had a great evening and thoroughly recommend a visit.

    Vinoteq is a fabulous bar stocking some fantastic wines including your local Chapel Down, one of my favourites! Great atmosphere and artists playing on a regular basis in the basement.

    My friend and I went to The Boar’s Head last night to see The Dial perform. They were absolutely brilliant. They played different songs to other pub / wedding bands I’ve seen. The atmosphere in the pub was great. The staff were friendly and the drinks are very reasonably priced. It was mainly local people and it was lovely for me to see some old friends and have a dance and a giggle. I can highly recommend the Boar’s Head for a great night out whether you live locally not. Thank you Karen and staff for lifting my spirits (and a glass or two of cider) I’ll see you again soon x

    We were staying over night in Dover having driven down the country. We called into The Golden Lion by chance. We had our dogs with us. We were given a very warm welcome and had a lovely evening chatting to the landlady and locals. Will visit again.

    A really Great little Public House/Pub with all the bits you remembered in those Pubs you used to frequent.
    Great selection of Beers, particularly Guiness (don't understand why) Wines and Spirits.
    The Landlord, Chris, is really welcoming and might tell you the odd/old joke or two.
    Out of the Town Centre and in an area where 'proper' people live.
    Well worth a visit.

    Cute and quirky place to eat.
    Dog friendly.
    Great for an evening drink.
    Only downfall was the tables weren’t cleared quick enough but it was busy.

    We visited this place as a trip down memory lane for my partner. There are two bars to choose from . Great character in this place , nice and clean decent clean loos. Real ale for those that do, plenty of other stuff for those that don't. Sport on tv. Garden area with smoking hut. Good friendly service. They do food if you need refuelling !
