i find it really hard to understand why certain people here cannot support local people who are trying to improve folkestone.i have visited the three mackeral on numerous occasions and have always found it to have a warm friendly atmosphere with pleasant,helpful staff.The landlady,Julie is an extremely hardworking young lady who puts in long hours and deserves the support of the good people of Folkestone.i have never witnessed any trouble or badly behaved customers in this bar and i feel that it is one of the few pubs in folkestone where you can feel at ease and genuinely welcome.I,for one,hope Julie stays on as landlady and feel that you should all do yourselves a favour and visit the three mackeral for a pint and a plate of the fantastic,locally caught fish and chips that they sell.
This is my website The 'Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when I first came to Folkestone in approximately '04. I'd been a regular visitor for a few years before that so I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site used to be a lot more dynamic with a gig calendar and voting for best venues and things, and I hear it was a handy reference for those who were thinking of moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is now becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. My name is not Gerald BTW, this comes from a fake newspaper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
