    It used to be 'The Bouverie Arms', a very 'Londonesque' Pub, then renamed 'The Frenchman'..Complete with a 2CV inside...Popular with staff from local insurance companies in the '80s/90s... I visited out of nostalgia 4 years ago..Nearly collapsed at the prices..!!! If you go on cruises, it'll be loose change.....

    There are far superior places in Folkestone than those included in this list! I couldn’t help but laugh at some of the recommendations. The selections feel outdated and lack the space needed to comfortably enjoy a coffee. It almost seems as though certain venues paid to be featured. A stroll around Folkestone would reveal countless more authentic, impeccably hygienic, and stylish spots to dine and relax. This list is far from an accurate reflection of the true quality the area has to offer.

    I am German and have been very often in England the only negative experience I've had was in pub in Folkstone.... when visited a pub... someone shouted to me :"go back to France good day". I didn't know if this chap had a dislike against all Europeans and I already know he was not representative for the english.... but this caused a negative feeling for Folkstone... Otherwise I had very positive contacts to the locals..in England.. very positive to be honest..... In every conversation the people emphasized that we have a lot in common mutch more than with any other nation in Europe..... we are both Anglo-Saxons (what your appearences is like) and we need strong ties with Germany after Brexit... So I am deeply anglophile and love England very much.. ❤❤🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🇩🇪🤗

      Hi thanks for your message and sorry you had negative experience in Folkestone pubs. In previous years there were some very rough pubs in folkestone (so maybe you ended up in one of these, if you didnt know the area?), but in recent years there have been lots of new and renovated pubs which, in my experience, have all been very pleasant - so hopefully next time you come to Folkestone you will get a chance to visit one of these and have a more pleasant experience. And yes I agree, we have lots in common and should support and be nice to each other. You are always welcome in my opinion :-)

      'Sustainability' as Liu mentions here refers to the manufacture, packing, supply and energy used to produce these drinks. The producers make the effort to source ingredients and manufacture being as natural as possible and with limited negative environmental impact. Also B Corp approved companies monitor and minimise their carbon footprint and any harmful emissions. The resultant product therefore is environmentally-friendly, ethically/responsibly produced - and tastes good. Hope that helps! 💚😊
