Ossies Best Fish and Chips - (Near Kent, london)

Giles Polglase I recently had the pleasure of visiting The Pearsons Arms in Whitstable, and honestly, it’s exactly what you want from a seaside pub. While the exterior might look unassuming, stepping inside is like getting a warm hug. It instantly feels welcoming, especially on a chilly day, thanks to that lovely open fire crackling away in the hearth. When I visited it was very busy, and there was nowhere to sit which was a pity. What I particularly appreciate is that The Pearson’s Arms operates as a genuine free house. This means they aren’t tied to one single brewery, and it shows in their selection. The range of real ales, local Kentish brews, and fine wines on offer is genuinely impressive and clearly curated with care. Its fantastic to have such freedom of choice when youre looking for the perfect accompaniment to the sea air. I went for lunch, opting for a seasonal seafood dish, which was clearly made with locally-sourced ingredients and expertly cooked. The upstairs dining area, with its fantastic views over the bay, gives it a gastro-pub feel, while the bar downstairs retains that proper, cozy English pub charm. Now, a crucial tip: if you plan on visiting for their renowned Sunday roast or just a weekend meal, booking a table is absolutely advisable. I saw just how busy it gets—the place was absolutely packed! Dont risk turning up without a reservation, or youll likely face a long wait. Its a highly popular spot for a very good reason. I’m already planning my next trip back; it’s a perfect slice of Kentish coastal hospitality.

Kate Black Bought a smashing sausage roll from Whitstable shed and nice chap said his daughter was up at 5 baking so well done her

Carly Sked A regular sandwich pickup spot for me and a number of my friends. The fillings are always great and very generous portions. Lovely bread, spreads. Just totally yummy! Never been disappointed. The staff are really friendly too and they now have a really good Loyalty Card where you can get free drinks and crisps, money off etc with each visit. Great little local business which I would recommend to any Whitstable locals, or those visiting the town. A million times tastier than supermarket bought sandwiches and perfect for beach picnics. We will see you again soon for my fave prawn sandwich!

Stephen Holmes What a wonderful restaurant setting and great atmosphere. The food was outstanding, the staff were extremely friendly and very good prices. Iwould highly recommend this venue to anyone and look forward to going back to eat there again.

Daniel Peters WOWSA.... what a place. I have been wanted to go here for ages, and finally managed to arrange it, and WHY have I not been here before! The food is just stunning, so so yummy. There was 4 of us, and we ordered 10 dishes, which was just perfect, and every bit of the plate was eaten and thoroughly enjoyed. Service was amazing, such lovely ladies. We will be now regulars to this place, it was a real MUST VISIT!
