Next stop on our trying some new pubs night out, The Duke Of Cumberland in Barham. Again a bit further afield than we would normally travel, but we'll definitely be going back to this one in the daytime, as they have a GREAT kids play area. The pub itself was nice, though seemed warmer and friendlier in the dining area than in the bar where we sat. Looking forward to taking the boy back here for an afternoon of him climbing crazy on the play area while I try one of the real ales.
There is a connection with The Jackdaw in Denton, for more info see dukeofcumberland.co.uk.
This is part of my site The Folkestone Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when we first came to Folkestone in approximately 2004. I had been a frequent visitor for a while before that so I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get nowadays. The site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar + voting for favourite places + things, + I know it was a handy 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 The town is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was about to become. I am not Gerald BTW, the name comes from a pretend paper 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 great aren't they? Do get in touch if you have something to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
