The Good Pub Guide says: “Tucked away in a little backstreet, this is an interestingly renovated Victorian pub that's proving a welcome addition to the town's pub scene.There are several interconnected bar and dining rooms with quirky décor, a friendly, bustling atmosphere and a fine choice of drinks (do note the copper stills used for serving ales) that includes local suppliers such as beers from Pig & Porter and Old Dairy, ciders from the Kent Cider Company and wines from Gusbourne Estate.”. It adds: “Tasty pubby food includes broad beans with mint salt, black pudding scotch egg with apple and apricot chutney, prawn cocktail, beef burger with ketchup, pickles and fries, smoked frankfurter with sauerkraut, crispy onions and fries, beer-battered cod and chips, wood-fired pizzas, and puddings such as cheesecake with strawberries and a selection of ice-creams and sorbets.

It’s spawned a number of siblings in the town, including The Smokehouse, The Radnor Arms, Little Rock and beach bar The Pilot. Other popular choices include Aspendos Turkish restaurant, Marleys, El Cortador tapas, Annapurna Nepalese restaurant, Steep Street Coffee House and Pickup Pintxos. Plant-based restaurant Dr Legumes, based in a converted shipping container in the harbour car park, is a Community Interest Company, serving great food in a stylish setting.

We gave the Radnor Arms, just round the corner a miss, as the plan was to call in on way back to station – spoiler alert, we didn’t!. Instead, we walked along cliff top, with its views out across the English Channel, to France, and ended up in Bayle area of town, where the parish church is situated. This quiet and peaceful area is the original centre, of Folkestone, when it was just a small town, perched up on the cliffs, overlooking a small haven.

The renovated Victoria pub is part of The Pickled Egg Company and Rocksalt Group. The guys behind my local The Woolpack in Warehorne, which I was sure I’d already reviewed on my blog, and I haven’t. But trust me, it is one of the best pubs, whether you want a roast dinner, a light lunch or a night out – the food is incredible, and I’m happy to report that The Radnor Arms is just as impressive.

The Radnor Arms, Christchurch Road is a beautiful hidden gem recently purchased by The Pickled Egg pub company with a secret garden, they have a good wine list and also do food. Just round the corner The Bouverie Tap on W Bouverie Place has it’s own Pilsner, decent beers and a small but perfectly formed menu. If you’re eating up this end of town that’s my suggestion for the best pub grub.

A stagger away is Nepalese restaurant Annapurna, where succulent momos, crisp pakoras and curries await, run by former Gurkha Tej Tamang and wife Sangita. With the Gurkha base located in Folkestone, the town is blessed with Gurkha Palace (first Nepalese in town), Himalayan Café (cousins of Annapurna), and Everest Cafe and Bar (great samosas and for watching the football).

This tucked away Victorian pub has enjoyed a recent renovation, and it's a welcome addition to the charming old Bouverie district of Folkestone. Inside the pub is a warren of bars and various dining rooms, each with a distinct and quirky decor. With its sumptuous dark blue walls and ceiling, and rich dark wood, the bar is the handsome heart of the pub.

There are also several restaurants that allow dogs inside, including Market Square and Django’s Cafe and Petit Bistro, while The Captain’s Table cafe in The Stade is a great spot for breakfast after your early dog walk. And Folkestone’s Harbour Arm has numerous places to eat and drink, with vendors frequently providing water bowls and snacks for pets.

The Radnor Arms has to be my favourite destination for my wife and I, as well as our family, for a delicious and relaxed lunch or dinner. The menu, created by the talented Head Chef Niel Talan, focuses on seasonal local produce. My personal favourite right now is his incredible overnight flatbreads, all handmade in-house.

Cuisine - Bar, British, Pub, Gastropub Our county is brimming with fantastic fisherman and farms, brewers, bakers and craft cider-makers. We scour the county for the finest produce that our talented chefs use in their dishes.

Indoors, I suggest the Radnor Arms (which does also have a good outside area). The Old Buoy on Tontine Street is also definitely worth a visit (excellent croque monsieur too) and often has live DJ sets at night (it gets very busy). Rosemont is relatively new and popular if you’re looking for a cocktail.

The Radnor Arms is no exception; set in the west end of town, in the Bouverie Village. The decor is beautiful, and this is part of the Pickled Egg Pub Company run by Josh De Haan. Manager Ryan has been part of the group for nearly 4 years and knows just how important a pub is to its local community.

Settled in the Old Bouverie district, The Radnir Arms is a popular pub with a Victorian legacy and a lively atmosphere. Recently renovated and achingly on-trend, this is a go-to spot for colourful modern European dishes, burgers, and flatbreads.

As my favourite pub in Folkestone, it's an ideal place for a cosy meal out in the winter months. They service many classic pub dishes of high quality. I especially love their Sunday roasts and going in there for a drink with friends.

Radnor Arms — Best halloumi burger and chips anywhere, and they make their own gin. I’ve also become obsessed with the Spanish olives they sell and buy a can a week because I’m made of money :/
