The pub on the corner.

The Cat & Fiddle is a proper pub on the corner. People pop in for a pint after work, a bite to eat and a bit of music.

Everyone’s welcome.

You’ll see friendly faces at the bar and plenty of new ones too. It’s an easy place to walk into on your own or with a group of friends.

A good night out.

Fancy a fun night at the pub? Check what’s on, come for the music and bring your friends.

Live music

Every week, something’s on.

Folkestone’s local music venue: jam nights, quartets and local bands, in a pub where the walls are almost as loud as the amps. Come and see what’s playing.

The Cat & Fiddle: good to know

Do all of your locations have the same menu?

No. Same family, different rooms. Pizza at Luben. Roast and pub plates at Pullman, Harbour and Ship. Cat & Fiddle is the drink.

Do you take walk-ins?

Yes when there is a table. No when there is not. Friday and Saturday evening and Sunday lunch are the ones to book.

Are dogs allowed?

Yes, in Panataria, the bar at The Pullman, The Harbour Inn, The Ship Inn and The Cat & Fiddle. Luben has no bar, so dogs are not allowed inside. Keep them on a lead, off seats and away from the kitchen pass. If the room is packed we may ask you to wait outside or come back.

What are your opening hours?

They differ by venue and by day, and each venue page lists its times. The Pullman, The Ship Inn and The Harbour Inn are open from 10AM every day, until 11PM Monday to Thursday, midnight on Friday and Saturday, and 10PM on Sunday. Food is served Monday to Friday from 10AM (breakfast until 12, lunch 12–3, dinner 5–9, or 9:30 on Fridays), all day on Saturday and until 8PM on Sunday. Luben opens from 12 each day, and Panataria from 9:30AM to 4PM daily.

Is there parking?

Street and public car parks near each venue.
