Compasses Inn, Crundale

Compasses Inn, Crundale

My old next door neighbour now runs a pub, it sounds great, we must visit. Here's what they have to say on their site:

The Compasses Inn is a welcoming and inviting historic old pub, traditionally and typically English, in the heart of the Kent countryside. Here in the garden of England Phil and Angela extend a warm welcome to everyone. The pub is ideal for families with its extensive, mature gardens and fun play area, plus child-friendly menu. Inside a cosy and nostalgic atmosphere prevails with local hops which embellish the bar, fine beers and wines along with oak beams, low ceilings, open fires and everything you would expect from a 15th century inn, including a resident ghost of a hooded monk, who you might meet by the fire on a winters evening! Excellent high quality home-made food is served along with comforting traditional pub dishes; all created using as much local and organic produce as possible and why not finish with a sumptuous, indulgent dessert? A lighter lunch menu is available for those of you who perhaps need a quality business lunch or just to catch up with a friend for a coffee and a sandwich or an afternoon tea. BBQs will be arranged as long as the great British weather permits. Well behaved dogs on leads are welcome in the front bar area and outside there are places to tether your horse or pony under the shade of one of our trees. The Compasses Inn is not short on entertainment either, with clay pigeons shoots being organised on some weekends, quiz nights on the 1st Sunday of each month; open to all, bat and trap matches are held in the delightful garden during the summer months, and occasional live music performances.

This is my site The Folkestone Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when we first moved here sometime in 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that so I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. The site was updated more frequently with a gig calendar and voting for favourite venues and things, and I know it was a useful reference for others who were thinking of moving here. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just to Hythe) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was about to become. My name is not Gerald BTW, this comes from the name of a pretend paper 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 great aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
