Food & Drink
The Old Neptune
The cottage is 2 minutes walk from the famous Old Neptune pub, one of only a handful of pubs to be found on the beaches of Britain and regularly voted one of the best pubs in the UK.
Windy Corner Stores
Left onto Island Wall, we love this café and store for breakfast and other essentials, just 1 minute walk away.
The Forge
Beach front shack serving the best fish and chips, oysters and, not to missed, fresh donuts! Perfect spot for lunch
Grain & Hearth
Possibly our favourite bakery, ever. 5 minute walk to get your breakfast sourdough loaf or pastries, or stay in for the most delicious brunch. They also sell a small but great selection of wines, artisan products and do workshops too
The Whitstable Oyster Company
A favorite for a special occasion, we love the outdoor tables overlooking the sea during the day and its great for a date in the evening. Virtually all seafood
The Pearsons Arms
Book well in advance - this is a great gastro pub, best for an evening meal or wintery Sunday lunch
Farm & Harper
We had the most delicious, family friendly brunch here recently and cant wait to try it again for dinner. Locally sourced menu and fun interiors.
Harbour Street Tapas
Great atmosphere, great menu, great night out!
The Sportsman at Seasalter
This modest looking seaside gastropub has held a michelin star since 2008 and is on every foodies ‘must-do’ list. You have to book weeks in advance! It’s a very pleasant 1 hour walk west along the seafront
Birdies
A characterful family-run French Bistro in the center of town. Menus on chalk boards, excellent sea food and always a good atmosphere
Thai Orchid
A very short walk away on Middle Wall, this unassuming restaurant is a favourite with locals. Reasonably priced, generous portions and they do takeaways too.
Lotties
Our favourite for ice cream! It also now has a great sweet shop next door for when you need to bribe the kids.
