The Pub is good, but what makes it exceptional is the location. Service is OK, food is generally pretty good and the location is absolutely perfect for some sunset drinks if you manage to grab a sit outside. If not, just take your bites and drinks away and enjoy by the beach.
I loved!
The crab snack was divine!
The wonderfully delicious portion!
and cold and very good beer!
if I can give you some advice! If you have the chance. Try it all!

First time in this pub, and I had an amazing experience. I have been with my daughter and my 2 doggies, on this day was so hot, when we sat down straight away a young boy bring us a big bowl with cold water for my dogs, was nice because I have been in many places when they said is dog friendly and normally people they don't care so I'm pleased with the service. With respect to food was OUSTANDING, probably people going to think I'm overreacting but not, I said food was outstanding because I'm very delicate of my stomach so I can't eat fried fish but in those occasions I ate fish and chips and the fish taste fresh, so I give 10/10
The portion of the fish is perfect, the chips taste nice, and the salad is delicious. Everything was perfect, the view, the food, the atmosphere, I'm looking forward to return.

A fixture of Whitstable, a quirky old pub right on the beach. If you're in the area, this is the pub that you should visit. Yes, Whitstable has become pricey in recent years (£15 for fish n chips) but this place is still cheaper than others nearby. Watch out for the sloping floorboards - they add to the character of the place. I found that the service was friendly and the food delivered quickly to the table (in the UK, you generally order food and drink at the bar). When you've finished, wander along the beach, past the various beach huts and up onto Tankerton Heights - from there, wander along "the street" (a sand bank that vanishes at high tide).
We sat outside as such a beautiful sunny day. Customer service good and very welcoming. Fish and chips was faultless and the two different beers were lovely. All reasonably priced.
On a hot day the pub is a great place to have a beer and something to eat. Right on the seafront.
Great location right on the beach, very quick service and good food. Lovely atmosphere, and dog friendly
Location, location, location. Old Neptune is a suitably old and traditional boozer but its position practically on the beach is what elevates it to iconic status. Get yourself a real ale and a seat outside, watch the sun go down over the sea. Kent’s answer to Cafe Del Mar.
Such a lovely place!
Cosy vibes with so many lovely dogs! Friendly patrons and bar staff. The range of beers is great, particularly the local stout.
Shall be returning for many more years to come :)
Great atmosphere and sensational location as per historic photo. Lovely beers. Food disappointing - fish box was 70% batter meaning I could not taste the fish, whitebait, prawns etc
