After being buffeted about on the 20-minute walk down to the shore, we arrived at Shoreline Folkestone, an ultra-modern apartment complex perched right on the beach. The two-bedroom apartment was impeccably dressed, with enormous windows and the plushest sofa you could hope to sink into while watching the waves go wild.
A brisk stroll along the storm-lashed promenade led us to Little Rock, a restaurant in a shipping container serving up fresh, local seafood. Inside was a cocoon of warmth and hospitality.
Our starter of seared local scallops, sitting on whipped sweet potato and sprinkled with bacon and lemon crumbs, was sweet, salty perfection. Meanwhile, shell-on chilli and garlic prawns proved messy but marvellous, requiring unapologetic finger-licking.
The fish pie "en croute," stuffed with local white fish, prawns, mussels, and smoked salmon, was rich, indulgent, and delivered a big comforting hug in seafood form.
