Picnic Box Whitstable - (Near Kent, South East)

Feliz Pete Amazing and tasty food, great value for money, portions were more than enough, we ordered lamb passanda, vegetable masala, rice and chana saag- all was very good, we will definitely be back.

Tia Fattal I will start with wow! Sometimes you stumble across a little diamond in the rough. Drift is that! I have been blessed with having the chance of eating in some amazing restaurants from the Le Manoir aux Quat’Saisons to the Burj Khalifa. But these places are diamonds that the world can see. The drift is still hidden tucked away in a little sea side town. A little secret where its food does all the shining. A visit is a must, tuck yourself into this family run restaurant, and be prepared for the dishes to wow you. From the oysters to the backed cheesecake everything fresh and handled by the chef with grace and care. You will love it!

Anna Sharp I recently organised an event for 45 people. Lisa & the team were brilliant nothing was too much trouble. The lunch buffet was really tasty and enjoyed by all. Some of us stayed overnight, the rooms were spotlessly clean coupled with very comfy beds. Breakfast the next day was equally as good as the buffet. Thank you so much Lisa, the two Lukes, Tabitha & her colleague.

Summer Brown I visited the Seaview Café in Whitstable and had a tuna mayo toastie with chips — absolutely delicious! The toastie was perfectly made, the chips were crisp and tasty, and everything was served piping hot. The staff were so welcoming and friendly, which made the visit even better. And of course, the name says it all — the view over the sea was truly impeccable. Highly recommend for great food, great people, and a beautiful setting!

Angela Bennett Today, for the fifth year running we had our usual Pre-Christmas lunch at the Tudor tearooms in Whitstable. We like to try and visit as often as we can because the food is always so good, the staff are so friendly and the atmosphere is calm and cosy. Today was the last day of the Christmas menu and, as ever, it was the closest to our own Christmas Day meal as we have ever had. There were four of us, at the last sitting (2pm) and all of us had the (turkey and all the trimmings main course. Three os had the prawn cocktail which is exactly what we have at home, very often as a first course to a Sunday roast and always on Christmas Day. Served with brown bread and butter it was generous helping. The turkey roadtbwasbscrumptiousvwith four veg and extra gravy was available sausagemeat stuffing together with a largebsdd as usage wrapped in bacon were tasty accompaniments. Two of us had Christmas pudding with delicious custard and well made pudding it was. Again, I don’t eat Christmas pudding anywhere else as we make our own Christmas puddings to an old traditional family recipe so other than the Tudor tearooms no other comes even close! One of our group had the cheesecake and especially loved the shards of stem ginger, whilst the other had the black forest dessert which she said was delicious. A small glass of mulled wine started the lovely meal admirably. Wonderful usual, looking forward to next year - our Christmas starts with this visit where we always take a group photo on the beach! I’m already looking forward to my next visit and midweek roast dinner!

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.
