We stopped off at The Ship Inn, Dymchurch on our way home from a lovely dayout and we had our two children aged 3 and 5 with us, we were told that the good would be about 30 minute wait, so we ordered our food and went into the garden for the children to play, 55 minutes later we were still waiting for our food, so I went into the bar, she retook down what I had ordered and came back saying that it would be another 10 to 20 minutes, so went back outside, with the children asking where there food was, the time being 8.25pm.
At 8.45pm the barmaid came out to say they had no ham for the childrens ham and chips, so showing they had made no effort to make our food, At 9 o'ckock our food finally came, minus my husbands dinner, so they checked and bought that out, his rice was tastless and stodgy and the childrens chips tasted like they had been fried with fish, so we were not happy with our meal, what we having to eat in the dark, and unfortunately we had no offer of a refund, so regardless to say if we are ever in that area again we shall not be going anywhere near that pub or recommending it to any friends.
This is part of my website The 'Gerald that I built in a frenzy of excitement when I first came to Folkestone in approximately '04. I'd been a frequent visitor for a few years before that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get now. The site used to be updated more frequently with a calendar of events and voting for favourite venues and things, and I know it was a handy reference for others who were moving to the area. 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 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 Twitter.
