"What a difference a day makes" to quote the old Esther Phillips record. What a difference seven years makes - since my last visit, hence the previous posting. I popped in here after my visit to The King's Arms in Elham. Don't be put off by the cardbord cutout Reindeers ( last year's Christmas decorations ) on the car park fencing, or the tacky fibreglass pirates and parrot! It's reverted back to what it was fifteen years ago, but with the addition of a restaurant built on to the back. If you want to eat, you would be well advised to phone to find out if the restaurant is open. The pub and the restaurant is full of an eclectic mix of memorabilia, bric-a-brac and muck and tat. And it works! There is a large field at the rear that can be used for camping. There is an hourly ( No 17 ) bus service from Folkestone to Canterbury, and the bus stops outside The Palm Tree. The service was good, and the locals were friendly. Fuller's London Pride was on, as was Harvey's Best. I cannot speak for the Fuller's, but the Harvey's was served in tip-top condition. I enjoyed my visit. The pub has greatly improved since my last visit, and I will not leave it so long to my next. I'm more than happy to double my previous score and give it a respectable 6/10 5thearlofwimbourne - 18 Aug 2006 12:56 |
