Welcome to The Golden Arrow
Party in the Pub - August Bank Holiday
Join us for the ultimate Bank Holiday send-off as we celebrate the last long weekend of the summer in style.
Whether you’re catching up with friends, rounding up the family, or just making the most of the extra day off, there’s no better place to be. Sip on 2 for £12 Aperol Spritz, explore our great selection of beers and wines, and soak up the atmosphere all weekend long.
If the sun’s shining, even better – it’s the perfect excuse to grab a drink and settle in. Good vibes, great drinks, and plenty of reasons to stay for one more…
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.
