Welcome to The Golden Arrow

A traditional family-friendly pub

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.

RAISING THE BAR

Our bar is fully stocked with the best selection of your favourite drinks! From world lagers to spirits, wines to cocktails and every tipple in-between.
