Finally got to experience this absolute gem of a place. We went with friends and had to book in advance and put a deposit down. This place is popular and I now understand why.
The inside is basic with a few tables no frills, but the staff are lovely and there is a lovely atmosphere. I now understand why this place is so busy, people from all over flock to this place for the amazing food.
We started with oysters, I wasn't keen but tried them and now a convert they were incredible. I wish I could remember the toppings but can't. The flavours exploded in your mouth and lasted for a long time after they were incredible.
The starters were faultless I had the pork belly and scallops and again the flavours were incredible. For my main I had the Moroccan spiced monkfish omg wow and souffle for desert. All the dishes we had were breathtaking and we can't wait to return.
If you want amazing food, coupled with excellent service then you have to come here. This food is made with passion and that shines through. You will not regret booking this excellent value for money.
This is a winner. Fresh fish . Tasting menu of 8 courses including the bread but not the cheese- so no agonising over choice. Great inventive and delicious cooking. From a spectacular start of light potato buns with crispy chicken skin butter to finishing with plums via scallops - a stand out and lobster and Dover Sole this was a culinary triumph. It is BYOB so no wine list angst either.
BYOB was a nice option, great wine at a decent price (no heavy markup). All our starters were delicious and the pan fried crab was superb. My food (hake) was great but as always the wife's order of lobster lasagna looked and tasted better.
Fresh oysters 🦪🦪🦪Top notch and great food quality. There was a queue for take away but the staff was very efficient! Excellent experience! You may park in the car park nearby. Very convenient.
Enjoyed the tasting menu - was amazing! Best meal in ages. Thoroughly recommend!!

Oysters were good. Other menu items were okay. The price is decent but the seafood in general was not spectacular by any means.
Tried the tempura crab and mussels. Was hoping for more flavour from the crab.
The food is 10/10, really really good. The service is not the friendliest, and the place is really small. But probably the best food for the best price in all of Whitstable

The rock oysters are tasty, it’s a really good one. I’ll try the wild oysters next time, and already planned the next trip 😂
The other dishes are great as well. Before this, I doubt that beans can be good. I try the sides here with roasted cod, found out that beans are really good, as good as the cod. The platter ordered by friends looks nice, yet I didn’t try , can’t tell how delicious it is. I like the crab cake, it always is the one I would try even if I’m full. If the crab cake can be more solid, it would be the one I like very much. The preference of mine doesn’t make me love the crab cake here less, I think I should point this out.
For the dessert, I was amazed by blue cheese ice cream. Haven’t try any cheese ice cream before, yet this one really expands my imagination of ice cream. It’s more cheesy, it also is an ice cream. It is an ice cream, somehow there might have people like my friend argue that is cheese frozen. No matter what it is, I recommend everyone visiting should try to gain new experience of ice cream. The great dessert always make the dining experience up to the higher level, and this is it.
Amazing food, the best we've had in a very long time!!
Feels like you've been invited into your friend's grandma's house. 🦪 Oysters, chowder, crab cakes are all fab. Do not skip dessert here!!!
Also, BYOB if you would like libations with your meal.
