good selection of ales, of which I've never had a bad one, lovely old building, staff always seem helpful enough, I've never had any trouble getting served, I've not had a main meal in here for a couple of years but that was always a bit hit and miss, but I've had a couple of really good breakfasts in here recently, it's not The British Lion, but well worth a visit especially if your on a budget

There's two ways of looking at this pub. One can take the traditional method of dismissing it entirely out of hand simply because it's a Wetherspoons, and everyone knows that Wetherspoons are totally crap.

Or one might actually go into the place and try the food and beer and find that one might be mistaken in one's preconceptions.
I won't say it's the best pub in Folkestone, because it isn't. But it is far from being the worst.

After reading some of the dreadful reviews posted previously I thought I would try the pub out of curiosity just because I was visiting Folkestone. We visited in late afternoon in October.

The building is fantastic and worth visiting for itself. The pub wasn't very busy with about half of the booths downstairs being occupied by someone or other and the same upstairs, the clientel was perhaps a little better than many other JDWs we have visited. Neither my wife nor I felt threatened or uncomfortable. As for the beer the Ruddles and Dog Boulter were both well kept and in good condition.

So for a daytime drink I reckon it's worth a six and I'd be happy to return
