Marco Pierre White Steakhouse Bar & Grill Folkestone

You're walking into the voco Clifton Hotel on one of Folkestone's grandest streets, and this steakhouse isn't trying to be anything other than what it is: a proper, old-school carnivore's place. High ceilings, formal service, the kind of room where people still dress up a bit on Friday nights. The kitchen takes its beef seriously—expect dry-aged cuts, properly seared, the sort of thing that justifies the price tag without needing any messing about. It's the sort of place locals bring visiting relatives to prove Folkestone's got substance beyond the seafront.
