Royal George

You'll find yourself on Beach Street, that proper stretch where Folkestone's seafront grit still shows, pushing through the Royal George's door into honest pub territory. It's the kind of place where regulars nod at the bar staff like they've known them for decades—because they probably have. The crowd's mixed: shift workers nursing pints, couples who've been coming here since the '90s, blokes chatting about the football. Nothing's been fussed over or overthought. You get decent enough food, cold pints, and the sort of atmosphere that doesn't need styling.
