Sandbanks Restaurant, The Pavilion, Wear Bay Road - Sat 23rd Aug

I haven't written one of these reviews for a while and, to be honest, I wondered whether I ever would again. There are only so many times you can be bothered to write something about crap food served by people who don't give a damn about good food o...

Canterbury, but not house hunting

Not a bad weekend. Started on a bum note, with a death, my sister's ma-in-law passed away unexpectedly on Friday, so thoughts with all the families involved obviously. Saturday we stayed local, didn't go to Canterbury as Clare was having lunch with h...

Nearest Wagamama to Folkestone

Just got this from www.wagamama.com, a list of the nearest restaurants to my house, in Folkestone (so most likely the nearest to your house too if you live anywhere near Folkestone. Obviously the Canterbury one is closest, but here are links to the o...

It had to happen sooner or later

Not a great meal from Escondido! Slight repost from the blog, just so it goes on the all new (slightly worse than before) page about Escondido, part of my guide to Sandgate bars and restaurants:Actually it wasn't 100%, Escondido had a bit of an off d...

Reporting from the Lake District (being the fourth part of my two week holiday write up)

More photos up now, but here's a bit of video we did.We were originally going to go for a proper cottage for our stay in the Lake District, but I'm so glad we settled on the apartment in Keswick we originally went for. It was nice, all the mod cons, ...

How am I letting this slip now I have more time on my hands..?

Is that another week with nothing to say? Been a bit busy with all the eating and drinking and partying surrounding the wedding. Never mind the happy couple, let's have a picture of Clare and I looking all scrubbed up:Can I remember precisely what I'...

Nice long weekend in Sandgate, Folkestone, Hythe and Portchester

FINE weekend, thank you far asking, good long weekend too, but a bit tiring. Thursday was birthday day (my birthday and also the wife's birthday), and while we were working in the day we'd booked the Friday off so we could have a night out with no fe...

James Herbertesque sort of weather today, very foggy at home, and all the way into London... makes things seem a bit quieter, I wonder if the fog is really absorbing sound...Great weekend, tiring though, I could do with being asleep right now. After ...

Yeah as I say it was before I lived there

Oh no, I sounded like one of those "Folkestone Arts" types... I loved Fresh and Wild, most people do, but I'm just saying that some people (the early adopter bohemian meeja types who lived in Stokey in the early '90s) see all chains as bad, but then ...

Where starbucks lead, yo below will follow

Hmm, that's another chain, and lots of people don't like them, but I'd rather have a few quality chains like Nandos, Fresh and Wild, Pizza Express and so on, than street after street of independent pound shops.Is there such a thing as English Sushi? ...

Off to Twickenham today

It's going to take a while to get there (gotta get a bus to Ashford), but not this long I don't think - half hour to walk from Waterloo East to Waterloo?Sure to be that sort of pace on the way home though... Look out for us on the TV!...

George Sassoon obit, hmm...

George Sassoon, who has died aged 69, was the son, and only child, of the poet Siegfried Sassoon, and attained distinction in a number of interesting fields, read all about him in the Telegraph. He's mentioned here for a comment he once made about ou...

Folkestone Gerald update

Got some more Folkestone gig history stuff for 1969 and 1970, posted from Germany of all places. Also what's this rumour about Gordon Ramsay buying The Sandgate Hotel..? I heard a rumour that Ramsay was actually going to BUY the Sandgate Hotel (or at...

Looks like we got the olympics then! I thought threatening the French with Folkestone restaurants was a bit strong, but it seems to have won it for us......

Howard what are you thinking of???

In this report from the BBC, Michael Howard has challenged Monsieur Chirac to EAT IN FOLKESTONE!!!"I'd like him to come to my constituency, over to Folkestone and Hythe, and I'll take him to some restaurants that will match anything he can see in Fra...

Sandgate

Sandgate's a nice suburb of Folkestone, my experience of it is just one road, running along the sea front, with some nice bars and lots of antique shops on it. Here's a map, and here's a list of Sandgate bars and restaurants... ...

Who was talking about Bloglines the other day?

Seems they've been bought by Ask Jeeves... I should read slashdot.org every day, I think I will.On the subject of search engines, some of my results that are getting number one placings on search.msn.com aren't even in the top 500 on google, what's g...

No I was not looking for "paula"

Checked out MSN's new search after hearing people slating it, and I have to say I'm giving it a lot of love. Only because I'm coming up top result for everything I've tried to provide any content about.Try: Pauly, Folkestone, Folkestone gigs, Folkest...

Christmas roundup

Had a GREAT Christmas break in Folkestone, quite a lot of sitting in and relaxing, playing dominoes, watching DVDs (lots of series one, why did Doyle leave? He's WHAT???) and remarkably not eating out once. Normally a trip there means restaurants fo...

Good to see there's some civilisation in Folkestone

Here I was thinking that everyone between the ages of 16 and 60 had left town in a hurry... I moved down here last December (in fact, today is my year's anniversary), trading a tiny 2-up-2-down in Streatham for a monster Victorian place close to Folk...

New Restaurant

Nice to see some refreshing reviews of Folkestone restaurants. Can I please point you the way of the Hermitage. It's where the Monks Kitchen used to be and I can honestly say that it's food it without par. I can recomend the duck. It was delish!
