Tidehouse - (Near Kent, South East)

Craig Smith Lovely place. Called on off chance of a meal and accommodated us in 10 minutes with our dog. Happy for him to sit in window with his bone. Service excellent and very friendly. Food very flavoursome.

Cameron Marks Come to this place on lunch breaks sometimes and it bangs. The lad whipping the pizza is sound and he makes a mean pizza. I get the Hot Dod and I pretty much burn my mouth every time because I can’t wait for it to cool down so I shove it straight in. In the harbour so the scenery is lush, great gaff.

Star Nold So a standard kebab type shop.. a little snack after a drink.. Chips with garlic mayonnaise.. what was not to like.

Jamie Shrubsole Had 2 very good hot chocolates and were very reasonably priced. My son was made a special one that was warm with cream marshmallows and a gingerbread man. We felt very welcomed

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.
