The Cat & Custard Pot, Paddlesworth
We are an original Battle of Britain Pub. Small, traditional and quirky!
The Cat and Custard Pot is situated in the Hamlet of Paddlesworth , near Hawkinge, nestled in the picturesque countryside of the North Downs. It is within 15 minutes drive from the seaside town of Folkestone and is hosted by Jeane and John. The Cat was the main public house used by pilots and other personnel who were stationed at the once nearby Hawkinge Battle of Britain airfield. The pub itself
