Whitstable Oyster Company

A true Whitstable institution! This beautiful Victorian building with views of the sea has been serving fresh seafood for 45 years, and it’s easy to see why it’s a local favorite. The atmosphere is bustling and cozy—it gets packed incredibly fast, but we were lucky enough to snag a table as walk-ins. The service was attentive and genuinely friendly from start to finish. As for the food: exceptionally fresh and executed to a very high standard. Everything seem to be homemade including the mayonnaise and tartare sauce! Every dish was delicious. While it is on the pricier side, the quality justifies the cost. A wonderful lunch and we will definitely be back!
