I've only been to Tim's twice, the first time was just to have a quick glass of wine and see what the place was like - I left about 4 hours later, as relaxed as a newt, vowing that the next time I was in Folkestone I'd actually book a table! About 3 months later (Mar 07) I did as I promised. My friend and I turned up at 7.30 and the place was fairly quiet - bonus for us as we ordered before the rush, and what a rush! By 8.30 the place was packed, the atmosphere was superb, the wine free-flowing (and very nice) but the food surpassed it all! We had a sea food paella and it was totally delicious!

This is part of my site The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when we first moved here sometime in 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while before that but I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. The site was a lot more dynamic with a calendar of events + voting for favourite places + things, + I know it was a handy resource for those who were thinking of moving here. 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 The town is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was just about to. My name is not Gerald by the way, the name comes from a pretend newspaper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, + how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do get in touch if you have something to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
