They have a huge array of fish dishes, all freshly caught and served simply. I'm not sure you would be quite so happy if you don't eat fish but for a restaurant above a pub called the Mariner, in the Fish Market area of Folkstone you get exactly what you should.

The Harbour Inn was one of our first dining experiences in the UK. It was a very pleasing…read moreexperience. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance of the place felt right. It felt old-styled and very English. We loved it. We were seated at a large table in the rear, as we had a large party. The whole vibe was great: dark, moody, exactly what you would expect a pub to feel like. Now, seeing as this was our first time in the UK, we had to get the staples. Fish and chips for the wife, and I had steak and ale pie. Both were great. I don't have the experience to compare them to others, but we were very happy with our choices. We also had the Scotch eggs. They weren't really my thing, but I'm glad we tried them. The food was hot, fresh, and overall really tasty. Everyone we met who worked there was very kind and welcoming, and they even offered guidance on local places to see during our trip. We are from the southern US, so I did catch a few locals staring as we talked, but I get it. I am interested in accents as well.

They do food at lunchtimes and some evenings, with a roast on Sunday. I tend to eat in The British Lion more, but the food here is also good and inexpensive.

They have a smoking area at the back with a heater and also tables and chairs at the front, which get full when the weather's nice. Worth a visit!

Folkestone is a seaside town which is trying to rebuild, and they're is lots of new businesses…read moretrying to make their mark on the town, one of which is Kipps Ale House, a old cafe that he been converted into a real ale bar, it's not really a pub but it's a decent place to get a good pint or real ale, most of the ales are local, but it's always a revolving door where the beers are concerned. Permanent fixtures are the Belgium beers in bottle and the bar snacks, which included homemade scotch eggs and a little cheeseboard. This place is well worth a look if you find yourself thirsty in Folkestone.
