I didn't know where to eat as my previous choice didn't look very appealing, so I was wandering aimlessly, I came across this treasure. Immediate warm welcome from the delightful waitress, sat outside. Struggled with the menu because it all looked so good. I was going for a Chilean wine, but then saw they had local Kent wine, I had a glass of Bacchus, my goodness me it was gorgeous. Squid rings to start, oh my goodness, how delightful were they. Needed another glass of wine, first glass barely touched the sides. Monkfish for my main course, WOW, it was orgasmic. Such friendly staff, such excellent food, shame it is 4 hours away from where I live. Tempted to return next day for lunch, but I would have had to rush as I had a train to catch and that would have spoiled the experience.

Loved the creative area and the harbour with its free big outdoor screen. so you could watch a movie while sampling the excellent street food. the beach and the Lees wer great fro a stroll after dinner or an early morning run. The stations difficult to find though! take a trip and see for your self!

General overview of Folkestone was fantastic, local amenities, plenty of places for food and drink. Local convenience via Uber eats. Very clean, and overall looks amazing. Would highly recommend Folkestone to family and friends. However I wouldn’t recommend The Carlton Hotel. That was awful!

Folkestone is a really beautiful place with friendly people. The sea view can be mistaken for overseas and the grass area is lush. The choice of pebble or sand beach is a bonus and Folkestone Harbour is a lovely area to relax and enjoy the vibes. It's not to far from London and has many lovely hotels a stone throw from the beach. On each occasion I have visited, I have enjoyed immensely. The last occasion I was able to enjoy the Folkestone festival, with live, great performances held at the bandstand and a variety of stalls offering different products. There are a variety of good restaurants to chose from including the hotels. The View Hotel where we stayed provided a tasty flavoursome meal one evening. Folkestone is easy to navigate and a lovely place just to walk and explore.

Folkstone is a very friendly place to visit, loads of places to eat and drink. The only downside was the food stall on the harbour closed too early it would have been nice if they stayed open longer.

Thge usual nasty little Englanders prevail in this most Brexit-voting of districts. However there are some nice harbourside pubs which were well-run and friendly (I would particularly recommend The Harbour Inn which despite it's rather busy location is an excellent pub, welcoming and well-run. Folkestone is a town in two halves. I stayed in the harbour area when I would have enjoyed staying nearer the venue I was attending, and would have enjoyed better facilities in the mid town area, I would conclude.
