Micropub.

Folkestone's first micropub from November 2012, with up to four cask beers - often including one from a Kent micro-brewery - and up to six ciders all served on gravity from a temperature-controlled cellar room. Also available from the display fridge, are a selection of bottled/canned foreign and British beers, plus a limited wine selection is stocked.

Moved from premises at No. 18 to No. 20 in September 2017 and in December 2022, moved to No. 21 on the other side of the road.

Traditional bar snacks including pickled eggs, pickled onions and other basic fare are available. No music or pub games, only good company and conversation making the Firkin Alehouse a place to enjoy a good drink and relax in good company.

Seating at the front is on high stools and tables but the rear snug area has armchairs and sofas.

Please make and take phone calls outside.

Information for this venue is provided by the Ashford Folkestone & Romney Marsh Branch of CAMRA
