A mile or two back from the coast at Dymchurch in West Hythe, this is a great little find.
Ideal for cyclists touring the Marsh, (cycle rack are provided next to a lovely little beer garden overlooking fields full of sheep.) or for those seeking something different from the tat of the pubs in nearby Dymchurch.
Food is the reason to come here. Locally caught fish, fantastic lamb, piping hot seasonal vegetables.... a great extensive menu. This is not mass-produced rubbish, so don't expect to be served within minutes. In six months of return visits, we have never been disappointed with the fare.
And a friendly personable welcome from the owners and staff.
A great find in the area.

This is my website The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when I first moved to Folkestone sometime in 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get now. This site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events and voting for favourite places and things, + I know it was a useful resource for others who were moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only 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 knew it was about to become. My name is not Gerald by the way, this comes from the name of a pretend paper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do get in touch if you have something to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
