We finally bit the bullet, and returned to the venue of our very worst Folkestone dining experience this weekend. And it was a success! I am very happy to report that Tim's Vinos and Tapas (the new (ish) name for Timothy's Wine Bar is great.
We picked about 7 tapas dishes between the two of us, including one meat, one salad, and one tomato and garlic toasted bread type thing.
One particular highlight was padron peppers, which looks like jalapeno peppers in salt, but without much heat. Interestingly the odd one here and there tasted quite hot, it made the dish quite lively. Beans in garlic and onion, and battered courgettes were also good.
It's a small but friendly restaurant, you might end up chatting with neighbouring tables, and you might also be graced with a table visit from the host. I would not always be in the mood for this, so will bear it in mind for a return visit.
With a twenty quid bottle of wine the lot came to about forty five pounds, so it does not feel the cheapest place to eat, but it was pretty tasty.

This property hotspot list from The Independent is a bit harsh I feel. Not just that there's no room for Folkestone in their top ten, fair enough, but:
At the bottom of the pile, in dismal 1,833rd place, is Fareham - the small town on the north-west tip of Portsmouth harbour, plagued with high crime and unemployment.
Ah but Sarah Beeny says it's too late for you to get a bargain in the places at the top of their list:
"Where people get most value for money is in places that aren't fashionable at the moment," said Ms Beeny.
So maybe good Folkestone news after all...
Weekend, good, went out for dinner at a restaurant we'd been afeared to go back to, and it was really really good, I'm very pleased it has improved so. Also went to a NUNNERY, to visit Clare's gran, she's there on a short holiday. Also, erk, my own Nan has to have a hip replaced, that doesn't sound fun.
Ooh, also from The Indie,'70s aftershaves are making a comeback, time to ebay my carefully preserved \"Hai Karate\" box set? I also have some Brut too. Will trade for Harry Clarke original sketches...

I've only been to Tim's twice, the first time was just to have a quick glass of wine and see what the place was like - I left about 4 hours later, as relaxed as a newt, vowing that the next time I was in Folkestone I'd actually book a table! About 3 months later (Mar 07) I did as I promised. My friend and I turned up at 7.30 and the place was fairly quiet - bonus for us as we ordered before the rush, and what a rush! By 8.30 the place was packed, the atmosphere was superb, the wine free-flowing (and very nice) but the food surpassed it all! We had a sea food paella and it was totally delicious!
