The Board Room
In our ongoing mission to Reinvent the English Seaside Experience, we’re proud to introduce The Board Room; Kent’s most beautiful competitive socialising venue and Folkestone Harbour’s largest ever venue. Developed in collaboration with Iron Pier Brewery, this is a taproom with something a bit special; breathtaking views and fun, innovative ways to come together.
A staple at competitive socialising venues across London and Scandinavia, we’re incredibly proud to be the only location in the Southeast to host Fly By Darts. A classic pub past time taken to the next level with state-of-the-art tech, this is darts revolutionised. Have your skills tracked and tabulated across a number of thrilling, interactive games; from the quintessential 501 to high stakes Killer, with easy-to-follow rules. Beautifully designed and held within a solid wood cabinet, these classic cork boards combine an authentic style with innovative technology.
The Board Room is home to two handcrafted, 18ft shuffleboard tables from innovative industry leaders SHUFL. These beautifully designed boards, made from Canadian Maple, feature a unique curved playing surface, adding an entirely new dimension to the game and ensuring a fun experience for players of all ability. Play the curve and have more fun as a beginner or perfect your skills performing some beautifully arched shots across our 18ft tables.
Iron Pier are bringing their love of brewing to The Boardroom to create a stunning experience. Responsible for a number of already much-loved brews, The Boardroom sees them bring in a impressive array of local spirts and wines to suit all tipple tastes.
The Boardroom, developed in collaboration with Gravesend based brewery Iron Pier, is home to two 18ft, Canadian Maple Shuffleboard from industry leaders SHUFL as well as four state-of-the-dart, classically designed digital dartboards from Flyby darts.
