There has been a public house on this site since 1717 and was acquired by Fremlins in 1926 being rebuilt in the 1930s. A friendly local pub that is popular with locals and visitors being convenient for the East Cliff sands, fish market and harbour. The bar is divided into two large seating bays and is decorated in a traditional manner with fishing nets and pictures of sailing ships. Two sets of French doors open out to provide good views of the harbour in summer months.

Rooms with full en-suite facilities are available with views of Folkestone Harbour that can be enjoyed from every room!

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