| I agree with Mr Faber. The staff are not suited to the customer service environment. Beer poor also Sven - 31 Aug 2008 13:16 |
| The second pub visited on my Bank Holiday jaunt to sunny Whitstable (5 May) was here to The Duke Of Cumberland. Situated within the heart of the town, it’s a large, sprawling Shepherd Neame pub with a genuine feeling of grandeur about it. The usual ales were on offer and as expected, condition was good, though perhaps my Kent’s Best was a little fizzy. Walk through the main bar area and you find yourself in a spacious dining area with regulars and tourists tucking into plentiful portions of fish and chips. There is courtyard with a balcony and believe it or not, a stage for performing – we watched a guy tuning his guitar for 20 minutes and then deciding not to play. This is another pleasant pub worth visiting. HTM69 - 10 May 2008 11:21 |
| Visited at 3pm 27 March. My the Bar Staff here must really enjoy working here! On entry the Bar Lady looked and sounded as though she had been made to work here under protest!! Chose the Sheps "Early Bird" (the first oppotunity Ive had to taste this year) and was impressed at its quality, despite the general unwelcoming surroundings in the shape of staff and the rather rowdy crowd of people in the Bar. Oh well off to another Whitstable Pub then...... Andrew_Faber - 2 Apr 2007 15:21 |

| Probably the largest pub in Whitstable, there has been an inn on this site for 300 years but the current building was rebuilt in 1878 following a fire that destroyed the original. There have been several restorations and improvements over the years but it still retains the charachter of an old coaching inn. The ground floor is divided into a main bar and a large rear seated area although the dividing corridor has been partly removed giving easy access between the two rooms. The main bar is quite spacious and comfortable with partly tiled, partly carpeted flooring and arched windows. The rear room (possibly the original dining room / banqueting Hall) is very light and airy thanks to its bright colour scheme, pine floor and the natural light that floods through the skylight in the roof. There are a few prints and large mirrors but the centerpiece is a large model ship perched at one end of the room. There is also an attractive courtyard with additional seating outside in good weather and a separate function room. The beers are from the usual Shepherd Neame range. The Duke has a vast amount of character and appears to be very popular although it is probably best avoided during the Oyster Festival when it seems to be taken over by Brass Bands and Morris Dancers!
