Pearl of China Chinese Restaurant - (Near , 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.

Andra Pereș Amazing food, very friendly and helpful staff, perfect service! We enjoyed it!!!

Susan Ruiz Such a lovely surprise to stumble across this lovely coffee shop that also serves Roman pizza. The pizza was delicious, and their coffee frappuccino was perfect for me, no sugar, no artificial syrups. The place is warm and cosy, and it’s right in the heart of Woolwich. I’ll definitely be coming back!

james nutton The food was excellent. I ordered the chicken curry with naan, and my friend ordered the biryani, both dishes were delicious. The owner was also very kind and welcoming.

S Shah Fantastic menu with lots to choose from. Delicious food. Food was super fresh. Can have Starters, mains and desserts Beautiful environment and fast service. Really helpful staff.
