Lovely little oyster shack/kitchen where you sit over looking the beachfront. There was only one bloke working who was doing the orders/cooking/pouring drinks but he was great nonetheless, probably could’ve done with a helping hand. Deliciously fresh oysters served with shallot vinegar, Tabasco and lemon. Would 100% recommend

There is a happy hour between 5 pm to o 6 pm for oysters everyday. The oysters is fresh and delicious 😋 Their chicken dishes are great, too. I highly recommend this place when you visit Whitstable. …

Lovely rustic experience right by the seashore and yacht club. Delicious breakfast barms and good coffee. Perfect spot for a midway stop on a walk along the beachfront. Very very handy for our stay at the Whitstable beach house. Shame missed the happy hour oysters - fantastic value

Great, fresh oysters, turnover so fast you know they've never been lying around for long. Big portion of cod and chips and locally brewed beer, including the famous oyster stout. Would go back, without a doubt.

Great spot for some fresh oysters. The native oysters are meaty, but they also have rock oysters as an option. …

This is our go to fish and chips in Whitstable. We always return as it’s so fresh and you can sit and look out to sea while you eat. The portions are really big so we like to share a large cod and chips between two and grab a set of oysters …
