The Bouverie Tap Folkestone

Welcome to The Bouverie Tap

The Bouverie Tap is an independently run Bar/Restaurant in the Bouverie Village area of Folkestone. We are well established, having opened in 2017 and expanded in size in 2020. Our little venue has both indoor and outdoor seating, which is great for the summer months. You will also notice the walls of The Bouverie Tap are adorned with interesting vintage memorabilia, so there’s always something new to look at!

We serve a wide variety of beverages including local real ales, fine wines, continental beers, Kentish Gins and premium spirits. Our delicious food is all made freshly with locally sourced ingredients. Our seafood is locally caught, and our meat is from the butchers a few doors down. Our menu always includes seasonal specials and changes regularly, and we try to accommodate everyone’s dietary requirements too.

Everyone is welcome at The Bouverie Tap and we look forward to seeing you soon!
