The Sandgate Hotel

Treat your Mum on Mothers Day

The ice has thawed out and spring is in the air. A time to look forward but also a time to look back to where we come from. Make sure you tell your mother and the mother of your children how special they are to you. Start from the very moment she wakes up with a breakfast you and the kids have prepared and continue throughout the day not forgetting a goodnight kiss from every child.

If you’re in the Folkestone area you can take the family along to The Sandgate Hotel for a lovely Mother’s Day lunch or dinner (she shouldn’t have to cook herself on her special day) where we have a menu specially for the day.

If Mum likes a bit of light entertainment we also have a musician playing live between 4pm to 6pm.

Come and support this up and coming local artiste and enjoy his musical talent.

A few words from Matt:

“Im Matt Appleby, im a singer song writer from Kent. The way i started out was being in a couple of different bands when i was young just as a singer, then i found myself annoyed by the music that was being given to me to sing. so i soon took up playing guitar and this gave me the freedom to create and sing whatever i wanted. since then i have never put my guitar down. i soon started playing gig around the area and met a production company called Mandem Productions these guys produce there own music and i have been involved in some of there tracks which you will find on my sound cloud. Really my heart lays on a acoustic guitar! i hope you like the music and would be good to hear your feedback cheers and enjoy Matt Appleby x”
