The Hotel Continental - (Near Kent, london)

Tania Its a really lovely spot with excellent service and a great atmosphere. It’s not the only place on the seafront, but good ones are hard to find here, and this one definitely stands out. Prices are very reasonable. I truly recommend it. There’s a summer terrace, and inside it’s cosy and beautiful. The staff are top-notch.

Glyn Pettit Love this Spoons the decor is fantastic and no expense spared on the interior design of this former picture house. Named after Peter Cushing the film actor who for a time lived close by in Whitstable.

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!

Larry Annis Quite simply the best fish we have had in a very long time! From the moment we arrived, everything was spot on. The staff were warm, attentive and genuinely welcoming without being intrusive. Service was efficient and relaxed in equal measure. The food was outstanding. Incredibly fresh, beautifully cooked and full of flavour. The atmosphere captures exactly what you want from Whitstable: informal, coastal, authentic and full of character. We will absolutely be back!

jon new Had the 5 course taster menu today with some treats in between. It was delicious every single item was perfectly cooked with wonderful flavours and good portions for a taster menu. They definitely deserve their Michelin star. All the staff were a joy and service could not have been better. We live a good distance away but it was well worth the trek. I cant recommend it enough.

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.
