Whitstable Restaurant Guide

Crab & Winkle

There are few things more exciting to the true lover of proper food than to sit in some agreeable maritime setting looking out over the waters that may have hosted what is on their plate, glass to hand, and preferably with company in whose evident enjoyment you can also take pleasure.

JOJO's

Visitors to this website will have noted that we go to some pains to define the nature of each entry - thus Modern English, Middle Eastern etc. Just occasionally this gives rise to problems. For JoJo's a classification of 'Eccentric' springs to mind, but it would fail to do anything like justice to this whacky and informal extension of Whitstable's mission to present seafood at its best and freshest.

Prezzo - Whitstable

Prezzo has been delighting diners for over seven years, and this Italian restaurant chain has since been able to expand throughout large parts of England with well over a hundred outlets. Interestingly, the company seeks to restore either impressive buildings or ones of local interest.

Sportsman, The

Here is the complete answer to those who think that for an eating-place to survive it has to have a support structure of not less than 10,000 possible customers within two miles radius. The Sportsman stands bleakly between sea and marsh, like a slightly shabby elder relative.

Wheelers Oyster Bar

Well, it would be rather strange if somebody had not done it and here it is - founded in the 19th century by Richard Wheeler ("Leggy" to his friends) this is the genuine article. Small and perfectly formed the cooking is renowned and the cold seafood, simply prepared, has special appeal.

Whitstable Oyster Fishery Co

A highly popular venue, parties from London, seafood as fresh as it comes, everything going for it. But there are some who think that WOFCo is at risk of being a victim of its own success. Whether or not that is true may depend upon the day but there is no denying the continuing popularity of this attractive place located in the Royal Native Oyster Stores, a singularly appealing weather-worn building down on the seafront.

Williams & Brown Tapas

In many ways Whitstable, home to the blessed oyster, is a natural for offering a haven to the spread of the tapas movement, with its love of all things from the sea. However the quality and range of what is on offer, combined with the elegance of the surroundings is more than sufficient justification in itself for this welcome addition to the scene.
