If anyone out there can offer any more info along these lines about any of the venues here, that'll really help with the map; accomodation, booze, real ale, children welcome, dartboard, dj, food, garden, jukebox, live music, pool table, vegetarian food, wifi access... some of those choices might seem a bit odd, but it's what I want to know about a place! If there are any new things that should be added, leave a message here or mailto:fg@folkestonegerald.com drop me a line. Think I'll have a go at a few new topical features - opening hours and whether or not smoking is allowed.
This is part of my website The Folkestone Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when we first moved to Folkestone in approximately 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a few years before that but I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. The site was a lot more dynamic with a calendar of events and voting for favourite places and things, and I know it was a handy resource for those who were moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though only to Hythe) it doesn't get as much love 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, the name comes from a pretend newspaper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, and how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are GRATE aren't they? Do get in touch if you have something to contribute, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on the twitter.
