The Mariner, Folkestone

The less-obvious of the two pubs in a prime position on The Stade, so a bit more of a 'local' than The Ship. The reversed L-shaped interior has a traditional look, although the overall appearance is quite gloomy due to the dark-red upholstery, carpet and paintwork. I found four of the six handpumps in use, offering Doom Bar, Landlord, Harvey's (£4.60) and Old Rosie cider. NB - You'll need to get a plastic 'glass' if you want to sit outside on one of the front benches overlooking the harbour.
