Overnight pub stop near Dover

[dazandandrea]

Looking for a recommendation for an overnight stop using a pub carpark near Dover for early December. Catching the ferry ( hopefully) early saturday morning.
Used one a couple of years back but its since closed.
We will be having drinks and an evening meal.
Thanks

We've seen mohos parked in their car park, worth a phone call to check. The pub has recently been decorated outside but we've never been in so can't comment on food etc.

Cheers scousebird, a bit more useful than Canterbury park and ride

Overnight Parking is about £8.00 I think. £4.00 per day which ends at midnight. Has black and grey waste and water. 20 minutes to ferry.

hi. before they stopped us parking we stayed here marine parade but i believe you can still stop at the other end which becomes esplanade free after 6pm . another we used was maison dieu car park at the back of the police station again free after 6pm plus lots of takeaways to fill you up (this place is safe) . photo is the old marine parade esplanade just up the road if in doubt i always email the council parking department here or anywhere in Europe. val

Canterbury P&R couldnt be more useful for the ferry, only hassle is you need to be in for 8pm a pub right next door and easy trundle down the A2 in the morning.

that would have been coming home in 2018 so far cheaper Uk than in France & I could more or less run to Jaca.

See my original post ,i asked for recommendation for a pub so we could have some drinks and a meal. You made no mention of a nearby pub whatsoever. So you didnt realy respond to what i asked for did you . But thanks for tip

[Dear Ducato]

All places -apart from Canterbury- are within 10 mins of the port. Sorry to upset you all, but I have to get out of bed, have breakfast, get in the MOHO, lock the front door and drive to Dover in 10 or pop around the corner into the Shuttle in 5! Revenge comes when I need to go to Wales, Cornwall or anywhere else in England! Due to health problems, I envy you all going wherever you are headed and will not be going anywhere until 2022, and then only once it becomes easier to get back in to the UK, as there are still problems with Covid passes etc.

Did he need to? You asked for a recommendation for a pub and the response was Canterbury P & R which was a correct answer!

The fuel in France is cheaper than the UK. When you become a fully fledged FLT like me you don't let a country stand in your way.

The Coastguard Pub in the bay is excellent for food/beer and their park is only yards from the shingle beach. They dont charge parking if you book a table. Its close enough to watch the ferries in and out of Dover. Interesting winding road down to the St Margaret's Bay 01304 853051

We have used valiant Sailor, food great and very welcoming

It is now it wasn't back then .It was far dearer.

The pub at canterbury P& R has mixed reviews.

Another for The Valiant Sailor. Stopped a couple months ago. Good food, big enough car park and a short walk to the Battle of Britain Memorial.

 

[dazandandrea]

Yep stayed here too for early tunnel crossing (28-9-21) Space for 4 MHs. Must phone ahead. Very welcoming. Monday night is half price burger night. Perfect.
