| I revisited this pub recently where I doubt my parole officer lunch. I'm glda I did and I think it's only a matter of time before the pub is awarded at least one Michelin star. To start I had the broiled shin of horse with free range wood shavings while Lord Thunnock of Fife, my probabtion officer, had the cold soup, which just happened to be corned beef and meths. For my main course I had the diced quail gizzard serve on a bed of steamed post-it notes, while his Lordship opted for the begetarian option: deep friend swede in lard with a dipping sauce of Malibu and rapeseed oil. To drink we had tea. i will certainly be coming again...geddit? Ladhimself - 21 Sep 2011 16:11 |
| A shocking excuse for a pub. As soon as we walked in, the atmosphere was wierd and unwelcoming. The landlord was sitting at the bar in his vest top and was extremely rude. If you're reading this because you're looking for a great pub in Whitstable, then please, go to the Neptune! youngpubfan - 10 Aug 2011 11:40 |
| I'm glad to report that we popped into The Smack recently on a wet Saturday and found the place to be exceptionally clean and tidy. This place is a hidden gem full of character and characters! We always go to The Smack when visiting Whitstable and will continue to do so. BiffoBeer - 19 Jul 2011 12:44 |
| I fear I may have fallen out of love with The Smack. Where once I saw eccentricity, quirkiness and electicism; I now see untidiness, disrepair and a lack of cleaniness. As if basic values of presentation and hygiene can be dodged with the excuse of whimsy. The garden is a shambles; and a stinky pet one at that. Shame that its tipped over from charm to this as I used to really like it. Ale was OK mind. grovetown - 7 Jun 2011 17:56 |
| The Smack has a charm about it for sure. Friendly, ramschackle and individual. Friendly people and nice beer and a good jukebox. However the pub does smell of dogs. In such a way as to make it a bit unpleasant to be in for any period of time which is a shame. Maybe splash some brut on the dogs. KNow what I mean. terenced - 14 Apr 2011 09:23 |
