Thanks And Acknowledgements

My thanks go to Kent Libraries and Archives - Folkestone Library and also to the archive of the Folkestone Herald. For articles from the Folkestone Observer, my thanks go to the Kent Messenger Group. Southeastern Gazette articles are from UKPress Online, and Kentish Gazette articles are from the British Newspaper Archive. See links below.

Paul Skelton`s great site for research on pubs in Kent is also linked

Other sites which may be of interest are the Folkestone and District Local History Society, the Kent History Forum, Christine Warren`s fascinating site, Folkestone Then And Now, and Step Short, where I originally found the photo of the bomb-damaged former Langton`s Brewery, links also below.


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.

Folkestone Herald 16-7-1998

Toby Jugs

There are two new faces behind the bar in Folkestone. Peter Crompton and Tara Doyle have jointly taken over The Jester, Golden Valley. The new owners ran a pub in Dover before coming to Folkestone when the last landlord resigned. They are welcoming young and old to The Jester, with everything from karaoke to meals. Tara said “We have had a lot of people coming in and saying how nice the place is, but we will be brightening it up a bit”.

Toby Jugs

Jugs reported last week that landlords of the Jester, Tara and Peter, had taken over as landlords after the resignations of the previous management. Three separate phone calls from friends of the previous landlords asked me to point out they didn`t resign. And that`s about all I can say, I`m afraid.
