I knew I recognised the picture of the landlord on one of the websites promoting the opening of Potting Shed in Hythe, it's him and her from The Britannia on Horn Street. So I guess that means they are no longer there?
The Potting Shed was previously a cafe / bistro and now it's a nice micropub, half a dozen barrels behind the bar and some seating. I met some local CAMRA members in there which was nice, I will try and get along to the next of their gatherings.
I look forward to my next visit!

This is part of my website The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when we first moved here in approximately 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a few years 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 and voting for favourite venues + things, + I hear it was a useful reference for others who were thinking of moving to the area. Now Iʼve moved out of Folkestone again (though just to Hythe) it doesnʼt get as much attention 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 BTW, the name comes from a fake 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 arenʼt they? Do get in touch if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
