East Cliff Tavern, Folkestone

One of Kent's hidden gems, the East Cliff Tavern is a time warp of a pub a few minutes' walk away from the town centre in a terrace just off the main coast road. Two bars which haven't been decorated in many decades, hung with pictures of old Folkestone, house comfortably shabby furniture. The pub has a very homely feel to it and visitors (you feel like that rather than like a customer) are welcomed, talked to and made to feel very much at home. Home-cooked food is sometimes available, especially Sunday lunchtimes. Otherwise there is a glass counter with chocolate and pain-killers - quaint. Two ales on, I had a pint of Hopdaemon which was excellent. Well worth seeking out for its beer quality alone or for the experience of a traditional Kentish greeting, but don't expect any frills.

Quality old school boozer a right little gem. Lovely ale on tap and of course the lovely biddendens. 10/10

absolutely crakin little pub full of freindly faces a warm welcome and the best ales on this side of the east coast well worth goin down for the beer and the atmosphere i recomend it big time =0

Absolutely wonderful place. From the outside you'd be forgiven for thinking it's someone's house, and inside the decor is a bit "rough and ready", but there is a selection of ales and really friendly staff and locals. You *won't* find it by accident - it is very out of the way. So if you're in Folkestone, make a point of finding the place. You won't be disappointed
