Welcome

Welcome to Even More Tales From The Tap Room.

Core dates and information on licensees tenure are taken from Martin Easdown and Eamonn Rooney`s two fine books on the pubs of Folkestone, Tales From The Tap Room and More Tales From The Tap Room - unfortunately now out of print. Dates for the tenure of licensees are taken from the very limited editions called Bastions Of The Bar and More Bastions Of The Bar, which were given free to very early purchasers of the books.

Easiest navigation of the site is by clicking on the PAGE of the pub you are looking for and following the links to the different sub-pages. Using the LABELS is, I`m afraid, not at all user-friendly.

Contrast Note

Whilst the above-mentioned books and supplements represent an enormous amount of research over many years, it is almost inevitable that further research will throw up some differences to the published works. Where these have been found, I have noted them. This is not intended to detract in any way from previous research, but merely to indicate that (possible) new information is available.

Advertising Feature

A new nightclub is opening in Folkestone tonight to bring a feel of the fifties and sounds of the sixties to town. Heroes night club is taking over from Toffs in Grace Hill. But it`s not a disco. The club, theme bar and steak house offer a nostalgic night out to anyone who wants to hear rock `n` roll, swing and hip hop from 1950 to 1985. A tribute to music heroes of the golden-oldie age, Heroes will re-live the days of Elvis, Eddie Cochran, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bill Haley and Billy Fury. Walls are covered with photos, rare album covers, original newspaper and magazine stories, and two Elvis gold discs. The club is open four night a week for chart hits from 1955 – 85 and live shows by cabaret bands from all over Britain. The theme bar in the tavern is open every day during normal pub hours and until 2 a.m. from Wednesday to Saturday, while the steak-house is open lunchtime and evenings. The club will be enlarged in February to attract bigger bands. Heroes offers Haley to Hendrix, Barry Manilow to Bobby Darin, Sinatra to The Shadows, and is open to over-21s, with smart dress essential.
