The Radnor Arms, Folkestone radnorarmsfolkestone. co. uk
A recently renovated Victorian pub located in Folkestone’ s historic Bouverie district, The Radnor Arms is bringing a host of locally sourced festive flavours to the table this Christmas. Offering not only the classic roasts but also something a little lighter, the festive canapé menu offers six per person including marinated prawns with whipped avocado on grilled sourdough from Dockers Bakery only a few miles away and spiced fried chicken drizzled with hot honey and a sprinkling of jalapeño chillies. If you’ re still hungry, finish with a seasonal pudding; the coal-kissed meringue is perfectly sweet- ideal for those who are happily on the naughty list this year.
The Wishful Thinker, Lenham elitepubs. com
Extending beyond the classic dishes this festive season, Elite Pubs are bringing the celebrations to locations across the county including The Wishful Thinker in Lenham, who, across November and December, are bringing the nut roast back in style with the Nutcracker’ s roast, packed with cranberry, sage, polenta and chestnuts- not forgetting the crispy roast potatoes and seasonal vegetables, of course. For meat lovers, confit duck leg comes paired with bubble and squeak, a sweet cranberry jus and all the expected festive trimmings.
