The old White Lion pub in Cheriton has opened with a new
name and a new look. It is now called Banjo`s and puts much more prominence on
food. There are regular bands and plenty of good beer.
Landlord Barry Chamberlain said “We have been closed for
six weeks. Basically there`s been a complete change at the pub. There is a
restaurant at the back of the pub now and one double-size bar”. He says he
hopes to push the food more as an attraction. “We serve traditional English
food and can boast a wide range on offer. It`s quality food at reasonable
prices. Sunday night will be band night, when we will be having the best bands
you can find in the area”, said Mr. Chamberlain.
The pub is open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. with the
restaurant cooking good food practically all the time. Barry and wife Lyn
always extend a warm welcome to their customers, and the White Lion has been a
popular place for many years. Now under it`s new name it is set to stay just as
successful – if not much better. So why not pop along to the end of Cheriton
high Street if you fancy some decent food and drink?

A charity concert, raffles and a special record raised £1,300 for the
Wishing Well appeal. Regulars at Banjos fun pub in Cheriton High Street, Folkestone, dug deep
into their pockets for the appeal which raises money for the Great Ormond
Street children`s hospital. Local bands made a record and put on a charity
show at the pub with all
proceeds going to the appeal, and more money was raised by the pub football
team's meat raffle. A cheque was handed over to Dianne Cairns of the South East
Kent Wishing Well Committee by landlord Barry Chamberlain.
