FG ≫ 2012 ≫ We went to some new pubs #3 The Black Robin

Final stop on our trying some new pubs adventure, the even further afield Black Robin. Their address is Kingston, I only know it from passing on the number 17 bus and being curious about it so it was nice to stop in. A very friendly crowd in this one, we had a couple of drinks and watched The Olympics with them. I say crowd, leaving aside the punters finishing their meals in the dining half there were eight of us in the bar, including landlord and landlady, the chef, and the barman, and us. I had Hobgoblin, Clare had a cup of tea.

A very enjoyable evening, a treat to try out three new pubs and them all be good.

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.
