Local restaurants

Now called Harbour Street Tapas. Great food every time; menu changes depending on local ingredients. Dont miss the olives and the squid which are particularly excellent! Booking is advised as it is small. Closed Mon and Tues

Very relaxed eatery selling fresh fish and local beer along with lots of other food/drink. Great place to sit out and eat if sunny. The fish and chips are worth a try!

Whitstable Harbour

A great place to wander around the 'huts' - run by local artists, foodies and shop owners. Have a great lunch and eat it outside on the harbour wall. Buy fish direct from the fishermen/fishing businesses.
