Micropub- Folkestone-Kipps

It's official, Kipps' Alehouse is now Folkestone's second Micropub.

Delighted to have received the news that Kipps' has been accepted by the Micropub Association and listed on their website as a  member of this small but growing community of establishments, bucking the national trend, and making a success of selling quality products to discerning and responsible drinkers.

Based around a clearer definition, the Micropub movement seems to be revolutionary in the way that drinkers are flooding back to these traditional style venues which are not overwhelmed with, TVs, gimmicks, 'happy hours' and chicken nuggets, but instead, provide a limited but high quality stock at a reasonable price.

The definition as it is today, is as follows:

'A Micropub is a small freehouse which listens to its customers, mainly serves cask ales, promotes conversation, shuns all forms of electronic entertainment and dabbles in traditional pub snacks'


At Kipps' it is, 'the listening' to customers that is so important to us. We like to feel that everybody that comes in to our bar is made to feel welcome and important. We want you to be sure that we are trying our best to make sure that the drinks and foods you are spending your money on, are of the best quality we can afford, and that you feel we are grateful you are in our pub. That should be what it is all about.

We are really pleased that this acknowledgement has come now, as it marks our sixth month of trading, and with that, our wish to push forward into the summer and all the challenges that holds for us.

We hope that you will keep coming in, and soon we will earn the right to be your 'local'.
