Closed for renovation according to the sign, I wonder if it will reopen? It's been up for sale for a while according to CAMRA. It's right on the high street, so not ripe for turning into houses I wouldn't have thought like most threatened pubs.
If it's really just closed for renovation then January - aka dryanuary - is a clever time to do it. I'm feeling a bit bad for not drinking this month, seems the micropubs and the small brewers really need my help. I try and do my best during Febrewery.

This is my website The 'Gerald that I set up in a fury of excitement when we first moved here in approximately 2004. I'd been a frequent visitor for a few years before that but I am technically one of those DFLs you get nowadays. The site was a lot more dynamic with a calendar of events + voting for favourite venues and things, and I hear it was a useful reference for those who were thinking of moving to the area. Now Iʼve moved out of Folkestone again (though just a couple of miles) it doesnʼt get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as The town is becoming the exciting place we always thought it was just about to. I am not Gerald by the way, the name comes from a fake newspaper in an episode of The Day Today or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, + how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great arenʼt they? Do get in touch if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
