Came in after visiting the Smack and though it's obviously a decent pub I didn't feel at home, but this dosen't mean it's a bad pub because it isin't.

Had 2 pints of what was marked as winter warmer but it was more of a pale ale.

Pub has an excellent uneven bar where if your glass is not positioned correctly it slides down the bar, this is great fun!

Food looked good and the pub is excellently located right on the beach, worth a visit.

When entering the pub there was a smell of ammonia. Thought it was because someone just cleaned the toilets and it should have gone away.

So I ordered a Harveys bitter and my mates thought they would be smarter and ordered a Neptune Winter warmer.
My bitter was fine but theirs was hardly drinkable.

We wanted to get something to eat and as there seemed to a nice menu the smell of the ammonia was still present.
I couldn't understand that none of the staff reacted on the smell.

They could have washed it down or opened the frontdoor on that lovely Springday.

Excellent pub. Unfortunately every time I've visited whilst I've been at Whitstable, it's always been tipping it down with rain! So we come running in, dripping wet, to a buzzy, welcoming atmosphere. During the summer it's often difficult to get a table inside but the beer and wine are excellent, food is very good and it's all in all a lovely old pub.

A very lovely historic pub with good ale.
I would have given this place a good rating if it wasn't for a very rude landlady.
The 12 of us finished our drinks and moved on to somewhere where we felt more welcome.

Location the main plus for this place, what could be better than sitting outside a pub on a beach enjoying the sun and the sea breeze?!

Good pints of Doom Bar and Harveys Original, pity it's in plastic glasses for outside but that's just the H&S rules rather than the pub's choice I guess, and actually not having broken glass on the beach is probably a good move!

Food good, and plenty of it, if slightly overpriced, but that's to be expected when the location is like this.

I know what people mean about the staff being aloof in a way; they did seem freindly enough to me though.

All in all an excellent place, that I would visit again if I was ever visiting Whitstable again.
