This Christmas we are your home for festive cheer. We’re bringing all the sparkle, all the fun and all the feels. Whether it’s a work’s do, a catch-up with mates or a place to come and watch the football, our pub is where Christmas truly feels like home!
The Golden Arrow is a fantastic community pub located in the port town of Folkestone, Kent. Here we welcome locals and visitors alike, providing all with a great range of drinks and regular entertainment.
The pub has stood proudly on the Golden Valley estate in Folkestone since the late 1960’s, just a 10-minute walk from the increasingly popular Folkestone coastal area! Named after the infamous British Rail boat train; the pub saw its first pint pulled in 1968. The pub underwent a name change to the Jester in 1994 but reverted to the Golden Arrow in 2009.
