Folkestone Social Visit

Saturday 17 October 2026 12:30

Train to Folkestone Central from Westgate-on-Sea, via Ramsgate. Leave Westgate at 10:18. Change at Ramsgate for the 11:08 arriving at 11:55.

It’s a bit of a walk from the station, so no complaining!! One option is the 104 bus from Folkestone Central Railway Station (Stop A) at 12.16, arriving London Street at 12.29. Then a 3 minute walk to East Cliff Tavern.

  • 12:30 – 13:15 at the East Cliff Tavern.
  • 13:30 – 14;30 Firkin Ale House
  • 14:45 – 15:45 Bouverie Tap
  • 16:00 – 17:00 Samuel Peto (Spoons - Recently refurbished.)

Trains home 18:03, 19:02.

These are four interesting and generally very good pubs well worth a visit.

Folkestone has plenty of opportunities to go off piste. Particularly The Old High Street and the Harbour Arm are buzzing arty and trendy. There is also the Potting Shed Micro in Hythe but it is a bit of a bus hop. Loads to do; plenty of food stops.

What is not to like?

Normal rules – come and go as you like but please enjoy.
