"Cool Kent — not words you would hear too often ten years ago. But all that has changed, thanks to the arrival of nationally acclaimed restaurants, world-class vineyards, disruptive businesses and trainloads of hipsters setting up home in the county’s coastal towns."
"The bar was praised for its relaxed atmosphere and is perfect for takeaway tinnies…"
A stunning Kent beach bar with views across the English Channel has received national acclaim after it was again featured in a list of the county’s best places. The Pilot Beach Bar in Folkestone was recently named by The Times as the newspaper compared Kent to Suffolk and outlined how the county has “become cool”.
"ALL the Finalists were a hugely talented bunch and the battle to reach the finals was insane. So to then win is an incredible achievement, with hundreds and hundreds of businesses nominated from all corners of the county, from teeny-tiny villages, to our bigger towns."
"Josh De Haan’s team from Rocksalt have done it again. They’ve picked a fantastic spot on the beach for a bar. The Pilot Beach Bar is located on the western side of the Harbour Arm, and looks out over the sea to France."
"With breathtaking sea views and the roar of the ocean, feel transported to the Mediterranean when you visit the ultra-trendy Pilot Beach Bar"
