The Red Lion At Stodmarsh
About
The Red Lion at Stodmarsh is a 200‑year‑old traditional country pub perched on the edge of the Stodmarsh National Nature Reserve, just 10 minutes walk from the village and a short drive from Canterbury. Open Tuesday to Sunday, it offers a cosy indoor setting and a lovely garden patio where families, dogs and locals can enjoy hearty home‑cooked meals, a celebrated Sunday roast, and a rotating menu of seasonal dishes. The pub’s live music, quiz nights, and seasonal events like the Farmers Hoedown and Christmas quiz make it a vibrant community hub, while its two B&B rooms give guests a chance to stay the night and soak up the countryside. Whether you’re planning a relaxed afternoon tea, a lively evening with friends, or a family getaway, The Red Lion delivers authentic rural hospitality, friendly service, and a welcoming atmosphere that feels like a home away from home.
