The Guildhall in Shepway

Nice game of pool ,friendly pub x

Was here last year and shall be back over the late May bank holiday weekend. Cannot wait; proper pub and lovely staff!! Edit; been back again and such a disappointment to have to leave. Comfortably in my top 3 pubs everywhere and definitely the best in Folkestone. Thank you to Nikki, Nally and everyone else for such a warm welcome. Cannot wait to return 😄

Lovely pub with a warm welcome. Loved all the RAF and aircraft items adorning the walls

During Summer great Burgers - in Winter an exceptional Roast Dinner Friendly Service, always prepared for a bit of banter

Great pub with an astonishing collection of model aircraft. Lovely pub, really interesting model aircraft display on the walls. Good beer, stack of local newspapers (thank you - that means so much to casual visitors like us) and basically just a bloody nice pub. To be honest the hour or so that we spent there was probably the high-point of a flying tourist visit to Folkestone. Well done!

Great friendly little independent pub, thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Were kind enough to put footy scores on for us when we asked them. Will be back.

From the Warm and inviting atmosphere to the friendly staff. It’s a hidden gem .

A lovely quiet pub in Folkstone with an aeronautical theme. While you have a good pint, you can see the collection of airplanes, models, and photographs inside. On Sundays they have a barbecue on the outside terrace and make delicious hot dogs and hamburgers, as the sign says, as long as the weather permits. If you pass by folkstone, you can't miss it ☺️

Although no particular feature of this pub stood out it was clean, tidy and well kept. A really good example of a English pub . There is a largish outside area to the front with tables and seating which was a bit exposed on a breezy day but pleasant enough in the sunshine

A good old workers man pub. Home to the locals and a great place to sit for the last of the afternoon sun! We didn't have food here but the service was good and the place had friendly atmosphere.

Friendly staff and customers. Good selection of beers and ales. Reasonably priced.

Friendly and competent barmaid.

Great pub. Great selection of drinks. In summer great Nally BBQ. In winter great Sunday Nikki roast. Always excellent service, banter included. Was made welcome from the first time I set foot into it

Friendly local pub that treats everyone as a valued customer, no matter what! Our autistic son has made it his local and when we pop in with him, it's lovely to see the reaction he has. This is the blueprint of what British pubs should be like. Oh by the way, it has a decent array of beers!

Nice outside space to have a drink in the sun

Fantastic Sunday dinners in the winters months, a fabulous bbq during the summer and a warm, dog friendly atmosphere, had a great time met interesting people

Ever since our 24 year old autistic son moved down to Folkestone, we have been out with him every weekend and having found The Guildhall, it has become his 'local' (even though it's not the nearest pub to his home). It's a proper old school pub, in a quiet street, just off from the hub bub of the town. The bar staff are excellent and keep an eye on our son, when he pops in for a coke and peanuts with his friends, so we know that he will always be safe there! He frequents it a few times a week and is known by the regulars and enjoys himself. When we pop along with him on the weekends, we can feel the lovely atmosphere and enjoy relaxing with him, as he can be himself there, which is lovely to see. There's a pool table there and he has played on that with his friends on a few of his visits. All in all, a proper pub to relax in.

What an amazing pub, first ever visit today just popped in then stayed for hours, warm when it was cold (very warm v very cold) open when others were not (they've lost more than a days custom now, many years') staff ace (thank you Rachael) beer ...well I only had the Guinness but 10/10 , dog welcome but the best part - WOW the other customers...Colin Craig, Lynn, Natalie, Norman and a few other people, a long time since I've felt so instantly at home - an ace place much loved by many and just up or down the steps from one of the lost interesting little streets the whole country

Wow what a lovely place The roast dinners are to die for with all the trimmings, The service was amazing The old man Waiter Nelly was so polite and warming.LOVELY.

Just had Sunday lunch. service was great. Atmosphere was good. Nice and clean. Will definitely be back

A friendly and bubbley venue but seems to be a bit clicky.

Not just a pub a community, a smile , a warm welcome, lovely pints and selection of drinks , a lovely beer garden , so clean and nice , love it there , highly recommend, just feel like I m visiting family

Nice pub and beer. Still remember it as the Globe though.

Love this typical English pub. I visit whenever possible.

Very nice friendly pub. Went in there one day, 2 days later went back and they remembered what we had been drinking

Top stuff. Don't be too late or you might miss the BBQ! - Complimentary salad for all!

Proper traditional pub.lovely atmosphere.

Lovely pub nice people locals great

Good British pub, good choice of ales, with the sunniest warmest front garden in Kent. Oh, and bbq at the weekends I believe.

Love this traditional little pub, always friendly service, really dog friendly too

Good old fashioned pub. Reasonable service. Quiet location.

Poor customer service, bad tasting beer and we tried all 3 on tap, all equally bad, think the pipes need a good clean.

Fantastic pub! This is set up in a great location of folkestone. The staff here are fantastic and super friendly. The best part about this for me was the fact there was a pool table, a great way to spend an hour chilling inside with a lovely pint. It's well worth a visit. The food smelt fantastic and I shall return to taste and review that too! I don't go giving 5* reviews for nothing, so this pub really does deserve it!

Fantastic service great to see a traditional looking pub with a great atmosphere in a great location. Pool table included. Worth a visit if your in the area

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere. Our dog Casper was pampered by the landlady with gravy bones and water. I was really impressed with the selection of beer truly incredible. We always walked past this pub but this time I decided to go in 'lol'. I wasn't disappointed and much better than your trendy wine bars nearby. Will visit again.

Nice pub good atmosphere friendly staff

One of my husbands favourite pubs in Folkestone. He always ends up here. The staff are always friendly and welcoming and the place has a great selection of booze and is always clean and tidy.

Lovely local Pub. With a great atmosphere, very friendly staff, reasonable prices, pool table and overall a very well kept pub.

Nice pub. Friendly bar staff who make you feel welcome

A great place, friendly and helpful staff. Allows dogs in too - I brought my two dogs and the owner and staff gave them lots of fuss and provided a dog bowl for water

Friendly pub. Beer selection, when we were there, on adequate.

Very friendly people staff and customers

A very nice sociable pub where you can meet interesting people and have good discussions with and find out new things

Enjoyed my visit great pub will definitely recommend and will be going again when I'm back in Folkestone.

Welcomed beautifully by Rachel,we had only come for drinks.Atmosphere very genial and felt extremely comfortable.Garden beautiful and drinks reasonably priced.

Nice little pub, plenty to see on walls inside

Great local to visit when staying with friends close by. If I move to Folkestone the this would be by new local. Friendly staff and service.

Friendly place with good service and good wine!

Traditional english pub, well looked after inside. Friendly landlady and lots of beer. What more do you need !

Nice place to chill and great staff

Love them 💕 nicest people reasonable priced lovely pub and great couple

Real pub, very friendly, hard working bar staff given the new Covid regs, very acceptable pint

Hands down, the best roast in Folkestone and great, friendly service. Parsnips cooked to perfection, generous, attentive, accommodating staff and owners. Perfect!

Old school pub had some good beers and nice people behind the bar and people drinking were friendly as well. Watched the rugby international so atmosphere was added to which was good

Big plate of food staff very pleasant. But the place needs a good clean including the loos and not just the floors

Nice little local pub, lots of regulars.

Enjoyable evening. Last orders were called half an hour earlier than we expecting

Family-run friendly pub, serving excellent Sunday lunch at a competitive price.

Amazing staff and a real pub great landlady

Nice clean pub. Would definitely return.

Pleasant pub. Been to it several times over the years and never had a bad pint.

Amazing pub, lovely staff. Stella for me and Stella with lime for the misses.

The photo says it all, plus lovely friendly staff and such good value. Nothing more needed. We WILL be back 😊

Un enseigne familiale anglaise où le rôti du dimanche est un délice! Service parfait et décoration typique

After an 8 mile walk, we were ready for a large lunch. And The Guildhall didn’t disappoint. Delicious Roast Lamb with all the trimmings, served by very friendly staff.

Just happened to be passing by but go back everytime we visit. It's a lovely traditional pub. Older barstaff are really lovely & the younger girls that work are always really nice! Will definitely go back. Can't wait to try a roast dinner, they look amazing!

Disappointed used to use it years ago but the charm has gone

Nice pub tucked away from the main road. So polite and welcoming and a real ale pub. Worth a visit. Locals were very friendly.

Wonderful pub with lots of character

The young girl behind the bar is the rudest I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. Let's you're pub down . I've never had any problems with the elder ladies but on more than one occasion the young girl has been flippant and appalling.

Book Sunday lunch in advance by calling them or go early afternoon. Caters more for local folkstone people rather than tourists

Geiler Laden mit vielen Flugzeugmodellen

fijne barkeeper, porc crisps not eatable

Great place to have a sunday lunch

Great local pub, good choice of ales and the best Sunday roasts in town 👍

Excellent pub in the bayle area of folkestone

Sunday lunch for two people, prior booking recommended. Choice of three meets, beef, lamb or chicken for £9, or all three meats for £10. Comes with Yorkshire puddings, roast potatoes, roast parsnips, peas, carrots, cauliflower cheese, green beans and stuffing, gravy. Condiments and an extra jug of gravy. We choose the three meat option, OMG, WOW, Portion size was massive, I could not eat all of mine and did not do it justice. (Photos show how massive the portions are) The Guildhall is a free house and serves a selection of ales. Owner and staff very friendly. Very welcoming. Will defo be going back.

Popped in today to catch up with friends. Very welcoming and friendly with terrific beer on tap. Will be returning

Good friendly pub serving top notch ales.

Wow wow wow talk about a hidden gem, Just yards from the beach and harbour sits this gem. Nestled behind the hustle and bustle of the shops. We had mixed Sunday roasts oh my word were they exceptional incredibly value and superb flavour our jack russel helped us polish the rest of we couldn’t eat as they were so filling great meat to vegetables ratio everything from home made Yorkshire puddings to stuffing to parsnips and the meat well 3-5 slices of beef chicken and lamb so about 9-12 slices of good fresher that fresh delicious roasted meats with a extra jug of home made gravy on the side. The service was phenomenal a true Governor behind the bar warm and friendly very polite and knowledgeable. We had some local cask ales delicious. Can’t recommend highly enough stunning location and surroundings and just a true gem to find

Very busy serving lots of food good 🍺 friendly staff

Great Place Positive People Great Food

Great beers and friendly bar staff

One of the best Sunday lunches ever.go hungry to enjoy.thanks peter &co see you again jackie&steve from yorkshire

Althentic pub enjoyed our time together there

The best pint of bitter I've had in a long time camra get your butts round there and dish out some compliments

Poor service rude bar staff who shouted at me because I tried to park my car in there car park and a lot of rowdy guys at the bar horrible pub

A nice pub with a really nice bartender. The theme is "battle of Britain". Small outside seating area available in front. The pub is brewery independent.

Pleasant place to while away a sunny afternoon. The weather was sultry but the garden/terrace was breezy and cool. A good choice of beers, no food but you don't expect that from a proper pub. No pretensions just a good old fashioned boozer

This is a comfortable old fashioned pub that caters for the more "mature" customer. Only does food on Sundays, in the week just Scotch eggs or sausage rolls. It has excellent real beer and a selection of newspapers. It's a very peaceful and comfortable place for a pint at lunchtime, to relax and browse a newspaper. It has a nice seating area outside at the front.

Nice pub and nice staff. Food was nice and was reasonably priced. Outdoor area was good.

Do not have any breakfast, were the words my friend used.

Friendly. Good location. Well run.

Its ok. Service is friendly and the food isn't bad. They allow dogs but not children and that made me chuckle.

Proper pub. Owners and natives friendly, cask beer excellent.

Great place. Landlord and landlady absolute gems. Definitely visit.

I only had drinks here, very friendly bar staff

Very friendly pub. Sunday roasts to die for. Good selection of ales. Bar snacks available all week.

Superb proper pub. Landlord is so very friendly....great to see a Victorian building keep it's original features.

Great little pub . Friendly atmosphere and staff
