A Gem in Folkestone

“Excellent pub. The best in town by far. We stayed overnight, and the rooms, owners, and everything were lovely. A gem.”


Friendly Faces & Fantastic Food

“Great fish and chip lunch, the chips were amazing, the staff were friendly and helpful and a great location.”


Welcoming Atmosphere

“Didn't order food, but the place is amazing, inviting, friendly and a great location. The staff were really friendly. We don't live far, so we'll be visiting again soon :)”


Classic Seaside Pub Vibes

“Nice seaside boozer, friendly staff, good selection of ales and a decent standard of pub grub. When we went, they had a decent band on too. A little bit isolated, as on the eastern side of the pier, but well worth a visit.”
