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.
