Bars in Whitstable

“Came here for dinner with my family and sister's family. Service was fantastic, the guy looking after us (and the whole pub it seemed!) Was brilliant. Super friendly, knew his stuff and was great with the kids. Food was really yummy. It was actually nice to have a menu that didn't have loads on! A good simple menu that had good classics on, and done well. Great value for money too. We will definitely be back!”

“Highly recommend. Excellent quality ingredients used. We had the sword fish, the burger and the chicken souvlaki. Very pleased with our meals and great service. Will be coming again.”

“What a lovely last minute find on our break in Whitstable. Beautiful breakfast- the £7 breakfast deal was fabulous value. And a shout out to Liam who was super friendly and attentive - great customer service!! Highly recommended ?”

“We visited on a Tuesday night and the pub and restaurant were quite busy. We had a warm welcome and friendly from the landlord and waitress. The food was lovely traditional pub food, local sausages and mash and a chicken and ham pie and mash. Served with fresh vegetables which were included in the price (as they should be imo!). We had a very nice evening and will return next time we’re in Whitstable. The owner of our Airbnb recommended two other places to eat and I’ll tell her to recommend The Monument too!”

“Fantastic welcome, six adults and three dogs were made very welcome. The service was great,very helpful staff.
Brilliant Sunday lunch, we would definitely return.”

“Beautiful place to sit and have a drink in the garden of an evening in the sun.
Great staff,with fantastic local knowledge.
And advised us on where to eat.
And the regulars are really friendly.
Prices for drinks very reasonable and fantastic pictures of the pub way back in the day.
This history of the pub is amazing.
Its off the main road into Whitstable High Street on the left.
Had a chat with Nick the Landlord and what a lovley fella.
Highly recommended 5*
Very much looking forward to a Sunday roast in the future on our return visit.
Thanks Nick.”

“Not on the front or high street it's in-between on a side street but worth finding..nice beer garden”

“It doesn't take long to feel comfortable at Old Neptune. Order a pint of smooth ale or a glass of wine, grab a table, and enjoy the pub atmosphere. Pub culture. Pub life!! The cheese plate (plus a few extra apple slices) is SUCH a treat! About five goers had dogs in the small space by the time we left. Mostly cute and comfy and fun. A little... crowded. LOVED their fish n chips. Ask for fresh tartar sauce!!”

“The pub is a converted Cinema, so is a wide open space. The area has been opened up to the sunlight with three large picture windows. If you want the toilets you have to climb three sets of stairs from the bar area.”

“The Royal is an absolute treasure, perfectly situated adjacent to the beautiful Tankerton Slopes, offering one of the most iconic and breathtaking views of Whitstable and Tankerton coastline.

If you’re looking for a tranquil spot to unwind with a chilled beer or a refreshing drink, The Royal is the place to be. It’s the perfect spot to experience the most astonishing sunset with sundowners in hand — a truly unforgettable and magical experience, made even better by the sound of the sea and the peaceful surroundings.

The food is delicious, with a great selection of dishes that pair wonderfully with their excellent choice of beers and spirits. The service is outstanding — always warm and welcoming. A special thank you to Tom, and Carly, who consistently go above and beyond to make every visit memorable.

Whether you’re stopping by for a quiet drink, a tasty meal, or simply to soak up the scenery, The Royal is an absolute treat. Highly recommended!”
