What a beautiful place!
I was very impressed, nice location, right on the front, seats outside if you want to venture out into the sunshine to eat. A pretty view of Herne Bay's new windfarm.. which on a clear day is stunning.
It was very busy (probably due to the fact we visited on the Satruday afternoon of the Oyster festival). and was difficult to find somewhere to sit down. The staff were friendly and helpful... being so small there was a queue to be served, but I never mind waiting if they are polite and apologise.
They serve local Whistable Brewery beers which is well worth a taste, we started off on their local stout then moved onto the famous "Rasberry Beer". Fantastic... myself and 3 men all sitting there drinking pink beer! They also stock other local ciders and what not.
The menu was of your average pub kind. Burgers, Baguettes etc... with a few extra specials such as Moules Marinere. The lovely twist though, was that fact most meals are made in house... no deep freeze here! This always gets a thumbs up in my books.
We sat down and ordered a gormet "homemade" cheeseburger, and a steak and onion baguette with a side of onion rings and skinny frites, and boy were we in for a treat!
The baguette was out of this world the steak lightly peppered; medium rare with lashings of butter and caramelised onions. This was served with Kettle chips (yum!) and a fair sized salad. The burger was like a small mountain, packed full of salad to the point Mr Purist didn't know weather to eat it or take pictures! The onion rings, fresh and hand battered. We were very happy.
A lovely start to an evening out in Whitstable and highly recommended, not the cheapest... but jolly good value when you see the quality of the food.
