| My wife and I needed to go for a walk to get some fresh air so parked the car along the road and popped into this bright and friendly pub. Pleasant pint of Doom Bar too. Nice to see the front door left open on a warm and sunny November day and the views from the garden of the sea really make this pub. A short walk took us down to the shingle beach which we followed into Whitstable. Paul_Rochdale - 18 Nov 2011 17:10 |
| Very popular with the locals but didn't seem so hot on catering for visitors which is a pity as there are many people (like us!) on holiday in the area. On entering the pub I asked at the bar if there was a children's menu and was told we could order kids portions of anything from the adult menu on the blackboard. We ordered accordingly only to have someone come out from the kitchen to tell us that actually we couldn't order kid's portions of the adult menu after all and that actually there was a children's menu, it just wasn't written down anywhere. Also the things we'd ordered from the blackboard weren't actually available, it just hadn't occured to anyone to rub them off. So we all had to order something different. Once we'd done so, the food arrived with such dizzying speed that there was obviously very little home-cooking going on. I'm sure the locals are used to all these eccentricities but we found it a bit bewildering. Having said that, the beer garden was very nice- how could it not be when it overlooks the sea?- and there were 2 decent ales on. edchambers - 13 Aug 2011 21:54 |

| Paid the Rose two visits last week during our stay in Seasalter, and I'm glad we did. Firstly it was within walking distance which meant I could have more than one pint, so a good start there. The pub is very nicely done out, fresh and modern without being clinical and still retains a proper pub feel. The beers on offer (Adnams and Masterbrew) were both excellent, but the food was even better. I can't say enough how nice our dinners were on both occasions, the home-made Thai fishcakes were a wonder on the palate, and the steak and ale pie was also top drawer. The cod and chips, however, was of a different class. One of the best fish suppers I've ever had, and I made sure the chef was informed. Very friendly and polite staff, although as a newcomer I did feel a little exposed by some of the regulars, although seemed harmless enough. Will definitely be returning on our next trip down to Whitstable. PMA - 21 Sep 2010 16:53 |
| I love this pub and over the years Maureen has become a very good and trusted friend. I intend to leave her my glass eye in my will. Ladhimself - 2 Jun 2010 15:35 |
