What Krzysztof Drutel doesn't like about Whitstable Oyster Company:
Have both today a large tray of fish pie. Presented really nice but after taking it out of the oven felt really disappointed. Fish pie cost £11 . It was hard to find a piece of fish! Few pieces of garden peas That’s all! Would not go for it again. As I said very disappointing experience!!!

Came here Saturday afternoon. Didn't book but were able to eat at the counter. We had 6 rock oysters and seafood from the counter. The food was delicious and full of flavour. Staff were friendly and nothing was too much trouble even though they were very busy. Ordered a selection on items, went and got bottles from The Offy so we could have 2x bottle of processco with our food. Lovely place View all feedback.

Poor service having said that the starter was not to our taste, scallops overpowered by balsamic and peppery salad, following the first course.

Delicious oystersThat's all I ate - the native oysters - so that's all I can say for sure, but they were genuinely fantastic oysters.
