The Bouverie Tap

Our first visit despite having been going to Folkestone every week and we will definitely be going back as the beers are excellent and the food (which is traditional pub food) was also excellent and very good value. We both had pie of the day which was pulled pork and it was great. The Mrs couldn't eat all hers as she doesn't eat that much and the pie was large so I had 1.25 meals and was full to bursting which would not have been a pleasant sight if I had actually burst.

First stop after a full day of traveling from Detroit MI/USA and checking into our AirBnB … a perfect intro to the friendly Folkstone community. Jim was warm & welcoming and his recommendations of the gorgeous handmade meat pie (steak & mushroom) with mash & savory gravy for me and a pot of steaming, tender mussels in white wine sauce + frites for my husband hit the spot. Fellow patrons were friendly and offered suggestions on things to see and do in the region during our month-long stay. Jim invited us back for their Sunday lunch … we have our place reserved but may not wait that long for our next visit. Hoping to snag a sit & sip at their 4-stool bar on our return. Don’t miss this place!

Came across this gem on an overnight stop in Folkestone. What every local pub serving food should be. Excellent local beers, delicious, unpretentious, homemade, food, great service. My husband was a fan of the homemade veggie pie. The old signs and adverts from classic British brands and war effort public info posters help make the atmosphere. The staff were lovely with my 7 year old lad. A lesson in how to do good beer and good food at reasonable prices for locals and visitors. Thanks again guys!

A lovely bank holiday Monday drink. The pub has many vintage war signs and lots of places to sit, within the pub there are two different spaces. A smaller one with the bar and a large space which accommodates large and small tables. There is also a couple of good tables to watch the world go by. One particular barmaid was super friendly, ive forgotten her name?! She made us feel very welcome! She talked me through the different types of gins of which they have many! I settled on a new one to the pub called Hastings raspberry, yummy! My freind had a Savingon and she was really happy with it. They have lots of differeht choices including an abundance of on tap ales. We are both really hard to please, but were very happy with our drinks and the happy bar maid, really made ut a great place to go! You could pop in either with freinds of by yourself.
