This former George Beer and Co, Fremlins pub-hotel until bought by Whitbread, who already owned the former Mackeson True Britain pub next door was combined to form the Old Harbour Crab and Oyster Harbour Inn, a fish version of the Beefeater chain in 1987. Both pubs having a long history associated with the sea and continental travellers prior to the closing of Folkestone harbour to passenger traffic.

Renamed Harbour Inn when sold by Whitbread to a local restaurant owner before changing hands again in 2018, is now part of the L&B Resteraunt Co group and forms part of the 'Creative Quarter' near the bottom of the old High Street.

With a separate restaurant upstairs with views over the harbour it is popular with locals and visitors alike.

During winter months the pub may close early if there are no customers.
