This former George Beer and Co, Fremlins pub-hotel until bought by Whitbread, who already owned the former Mackeson True Britain pub next door was combined to form the Old Harbour Crab and Oyster Harbour Inn, a fish version of the Beefeater chain in 1987. Both pubs having a long history associated with the sea and continental travellers prior to the closing of Folkestone harbour to passenger traffic.

Renamed Harbour Inn when sold by Whitbread to a local restaurant owner before changing hands again in 2018, is now part of the L&B Restaurant Group and forms part of the 'Creative Quarter' near the bottom of the old High Street.

With a separate restaurant upstairs with views over the Harbour it is popular with locals and visitors alike.

During winter months the pub may close early if there are no customers.

Open for Breakfast from 10 am everyday with a children's menu available.
