Property details
Folkestone has enjoyed significant regeneration in recent years and is now widely recognised as a vibrant food, drink and events destination on the Kent coast. Purpose-built to serve the surrounding community in 1985, the Master Brewer is located just on the outskirts of the main town centre and less than ten minutes’ drive from the main harbour arm and beach front. It occupies a strong trading position directly opposite the village shop, next to the local school and backing onto the village green, which is a natural hub for local gatherings and seasonal events.
Internally, the pub offers generous and flexible trading space, including a large L-shaped drinking and dining area with a feature bar servery and a mix of table seating and built-in booths for around 80 covers, together with a dedicated pool and darts area and a separate private dining room that can double as an event space for around 20 guests. The galley-style trade kitchen opens onto a private patio area and provides additional flexibility to support the existing food offer or special event trading.
Friday evenings are a hit with the local families that pop by for a drink and catch up, and a busy calendar including quiz and bingo nights, occasional live music and resident pool and darts teams, keeps the customers returning. The pub has recently introduced a traditional-style food offer, which has grown from strength to strength, receiving positive feedback from the locals. The menu focuses on traditional, home-cooked pub fare, supported by a popular Sunday roast and a well-attended steak night.
To the rear of the property, a fenced patio garden with bench seating for around 30 guests backs directly onto the village green, strengthening the pub’s connection to the local community, and a large private customer car park to the front of the site adds valuable convenience for both regulars and visitors.
The private accommodation is of a good size and includes a private entrance, three double bedrooms, a kitchen, a lounge, a bathroom and a large, private paved garden.

Trading style
The Master Brewer is a well-positioned, community and wet-led pub, set at the heart of Broadmead village estate in Folkestone, Kent.
The pub will appeal to energetic, hands-on tenants with a strong wet-led mindset and a genuine passion for community engagement. This is a great opportunity for an operator who will immerse themselves in local life, build strong relationships with the Broadmead residents, and drive trade through a well-planned calendar of events, entertainment, and social occasions. This site presents clear potential to re-establish the pub as the beating heart of the community and to unlock further growth at the site.
