Eat & Drink

Guests can quench their thirst in the lounge bar with their favourite drink. Serving British dishes, The Palm Court at The Grand lies within reach of the smoke-free Wards Hotel & Restaurant.

“This is a boutique hotel that seems easy enough to find, with parking, and it strives to deliver a family-run experience. The cuisine is traditional British fare at the Earls Restaurant, but be aware that service may not be the fastest. In my opinion, its location near Folkestone's beaches makes it a reasonable choice.”
