    We have been to this restaurant many times and have always had a great experience. The staff are friendly, and efficient but not intrusive. The food is always wonderful. We had no hesitation on booking here for Valentines dinner as we knew we could trust that it would be a great night out and it was. Thank you to all the staff who make this place what it is. x

    A great addition to the Whitstable food scene. Predominantly seafood sharing plates, all of those we tried we would gladly have again. I particularly enjoyed the chargrilled prawns served with a masala sauce which needs to be bottled and sold everywhere. Didn’t have room for the lobster bisque this time but will return as soon as we can to try it.

    Loved the food, our American family member thought all the BBQ tasted very authentic! We particularly liked the pork belly starter, and the King Sharer with a taste of everything really was amazing.
