Glad we made the effort to visit this place, after reading about it in More Tales from the Tap Room, it's a great pub. Bit of a walk from Folkestone, being just past the Sandgate Hotel, but worth the effort. It's quite a small Shepherd Neame pub, but cosy and friendly. Had four ales on (Best, Spitfire, Porter and something else) for me, and a good range of chocolate behind the bar that pleased Clare. Didn't investigate the menu properly, though it seems there was at least one vege option.
No pool table or music even, but they did have dominoes, which we played and played. Dominoes is the new darts, you'll all be into it soon.
Definitely going to visit again, and looking forward to trying it in the summer, when it's location and outside tables will really come into their own.
This is part of my website The 'Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone in approximately 2004. I had been a frequent visitor for a while before that but I am technically one of those DFLs you get now. This site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar and voting for favourite venues and things, + I know it was a useful resource for those who were moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was about to become. I am not Gerald BTW, the name comes from a pretend newspaper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
