The King’s Arms , Sandwich 78 If you’re looking for one of the best selections of craft and specialty beers, wine and cider in Kent, look no further than Kipps’ Alehouse. Situated in a prime position within Folkestone’s Creative Quarter, Kipps’ offers an excellent variety of gravity poured cask ale. They also serve whole world vegetarian food lovingly prepared using seasonal ingredients. We recommend the Moroccan couscous, and any of the Tiny Rebel IPAs. The King’s Arms is quintessentially English, and has been serving quality food and drink since 1580. The privately owned inn has retained the original building’s charm and character, making it a perfect place to relax and unwind while you’re in the historic Cinque Port of Sandwich.
