As previously reported, Mustang's is up for sale. 70,000 for a ten year lease, and for that you get a 50% share of the fruit machine profits.
It's been many things in just the brief time I've been visiting Folkestone, I hope someone can turn it into something cool... I'd like to see it become a fancy chain pub I think, an All Bar One or something, town could do with one of those. While most towns are keen to have less chain bars, Folkestone's not at that stage yet, we want to get them in so we can start complaining about getting them out!
Anyway, I guess just ask at the bar if you have 70k burning a hole in your pocket, though I wouldn't advise carrying it round that bit of town in cash... If you buy it, please install some real ales.
This is my site The FG that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone in approximately 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while before that so I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site was a lot more dynamic with a calendar of events + voting for favourite venues and things, and I hear it was a useful reference for those who were moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just to Hythe) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was about to become. I am not Gerald by the way, the name comes from a pretend newspaper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do get in touch if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
