Go grab yourself some local fresh lobster, mackerel or prawns from one of the fish stalls down in Folkestone harbour. Popular with everyone, try the Valiant Sailor about 3 miles away (01303 252401). Fancy lunch in France? Then pop across the Channel for the day. The Eurotunnel (08705 353535) terminal is the exit before Folkestone, about 15–20 minutes away.
It’s a 45-minute walk into Folkestone, and the pubs there aren’t much cop. Ask at the site for directions to The Lighthouse (01303 223300) in Capel-le-Ferne where you can enjoy a pint of Ramsgate No 5 and views out across the sea.
