What Molly Taylor doesn't like about Old Neptune:
Really nice pub atmosphere but terrible fish and chips and service took 1 hour. Fish and chips were 16 pounds—the chips were half frozen and the fish was tiny. Would not recommend. View all feedback. What Jackie Sacan likes about Old Neptune:
Although we didn't actually dine at this restaurant, the enticing aroma and appealing appearance of the food suggests that it must be delicious. The pub has a welcoming atmosphere and offers fantastic outdoor seating right on the beach. It's hard not to be charmed by this place. View all feedback.

The Old Neptune in Whitstable, Kent, offers stunning views and a lively atmosphere. Despite some reviews criticizing slow service, lack of attention, and poor food quality, many still praise the location, friendly staff, reasonable prices, and delicious fish and chips. The beachfront pub is beloved for its quirky charm and outdoor seating options.
