The Black Lion a traditional English pub and restaurant set in the historic village of Appledore, which can trace its history back to the Viking times when it was a busy port and now a quiet village in the heart of Kent. The pub serves locally brewed Goacher's Fine Light Ale together with four ever changing beers and three ciders on draught. There is also a reasonably priced wine list. There is a large patio to the front and the bar is decorated with an interesting collection of pump clips above and around the bar and, also a collection of blow lamps behind the bar. Handy for ramblers on the Saxon Shore Way and the Royal Military Canal. Locally sourced food is available every day but reservations are not accepted on Sundays.
