Quick info
About The Bouverie Tap
The Bouverie Tap is a pub, bar and restaurant on Bouverie Road West in Folkestone, with a dog-friendly door that brings locals and their dogs in through the front. The bar serves Biddenden Cider alongside other options, and the kitchen runs a short food menu of pub-style plates on some days rather than every day, covering fish and chips among the offerings in generous portions. The setting is a traditional pub room built around the bar, with seating that fills up easily when food is on. Service at the counter keeps things straightforward. The Bouverie Tap is a walk-in pub with no booking posture to work around, and the food days tend to draw a crowd from the surrounding streets.
