Not necessarily of The 'Gerald itself. I went to The Drum the other lunchtime and had a very nice pint. You're right though, it is "a pub with a food outlet", not a restaurant.
This is part of my site The 'Gerald that I built in a frenzy of excitement when I first came here in approximately '04. I'd been a regular visitor for a few years previous to that so I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site was a lot more dynamic with a calendar of events and voting for favourite venues and things, and I know it was a handy resource for others 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 Folkestone itself is 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 paper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
