The Brickfield Cookhouse + Pub

You're looking at a place that gets the fundamentals right—decent food, reliable service, and the kind of relaxed atmosphere where you can actually hear your mates. The Brickfield sits comfortably between proper gastropub and local boozer, which means you'll find families on Sunday afternoons and groups of regulars propping up the bar on Friday nights. It's the sort of place Folkestone folk keep coming back to because it does honest cooking without the pretension, and the bar operation knows what it's doing too.
