The pub is found in Capel-le-Ferne, Kent, CT18 7JJ.

Large roadside house in New Dover Road on the Folkestone to Dover road. Plenty of history here. According to the excellent Kent Pub History website http://www.dover-kent.com/Valiant-Sailor-Capel.html “Originally called the "Jolly Sailor" this pub changed name some time after 1819.” Done out in a corporate style. Spacious U shape layout around the bar with a pool table on one side and a restaurant layout in the rest.

We have visited this pub once, seen 1 beer and tried it.
