The views were stunning, the fireworks were exhilarating, and the live music, though a bit loud for the small bar area, was truly enjoyable. The set menu was excellent, featuring dishes that were both beautifully presented and perfectly cooked. The staff, as always, made us feel welcome. They worked incredibly hard throughout the night, staying attentive, cheerful, and professional. In our opinion, this place cannot be surpassed, with its cozy open fires, delicious food, charming atmosphere, and unique character. Jake, the manager, always welcomes guests with a smile and runs a fantastic, vibrant bar and restaurant. His well-trained team adds significant value to Whitstable. I highly recommend this wonderful little pub/restaurant by the sea. Don't just take my word for it—give it a try yourself. You won't be disappointed!

We shared a selection of small plates: monkfish scampi, king prawns, whitebait, and oyster squid—each dish was superb. I had the calf livers, which were cooked to perfection, while my partner enjoyed the sea bream, which our daughter loved as well. Every dish was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this place, and we will be back the next time we visit Whitstable.

The restaurant on the upper floor offers a stunning view, and the tables are well-spaced for comfort. The menu was diverse, and I highly recommend the scallops and whitebait as appetizers. The smoked haddock kedgeree was absolutely fantastic. We will definitely be returning!

We had a delightful Sunday roast today! Jake and his team truly made our visit extra special as we celebrated our wedding anniversary.
