If anyone out there can offer any more info along these lines about any of the venues here, that'll really help with the map; accomodation, booze, real ale, children welcome, dartboard, dj, food, garden, jukebox, live music, pool table, vegetarian food, wifi access... some of those choices might seem a bit odd, but it's what I want to know about a place! If there are any new things that should be added, leave a message here or mailto:fg@folkestonegerald.com drop me a line. Think I'll have a go at a few new topical features - opening hours and whether or not smoking is allowed.
This is my site The Folkestone Gerald that I set up 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 Down From Londons you get now. This site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events and voting for favourite places and things, + I hear it was a useful reference for others who were moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) it doesn't get as much love as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. My name is not Gerald by the way, this comes from the name of a pretend paper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
