Winkle's Kitchen

3.6 / 5 (5976 reviews)

Menu

The place from Whitstable offers 84 different menus and drinks on the menu at an average price of £13.

Whitstable’s dining scene offers a variety of experiences, particularly for seafood enthusiasts. Although some lament the loss of The Crab and Winkle due to a fire, newcomers like The Luke strive to fill the gap. While the harbor views are picturesque, customer service often disappoints, with reports of slow service and less-than-friendly staff. Diners have noted the inconsistency in food quality, with some dishes lacking flavor and appearing hastily prepared. Yet, amid criticism, there are gems: breakfast dumplings have reignited fond memories for many. Overall, it’s an adventure that varies widely from one visit to the next.

Was Molly Harrison at Winkle's Kitchen a mag?
This is an amazing restaurant with beautiful harbor views. However, they specialize in fish and seafood dishes, so if you're in the mood for steak, this may not be the place for you. View all feedback.

What Bethany Reid dislikes about Winkle's Kitchen:
The Crab and Winkle Resturant were no longer there as they burned down a month before. Very sad for them, but we had to phone around to find a booking somewhere else, as we were not reported. View all feedback.

We came across the Crab and Winkle by chance while exploring Whitstable. This place is really cool!

The food here is really good. I prefer hot seafood platter, other than that i gave two thumbs up. I will order the whole brawn crab again!
