Wheelers Oyster Bar - (Near Kent, South East)

4 /5 Jiwon Kokomong Kim: It seems like the busiest restaurant in the area. The staff weren’t particularly friendly, but the oysters were fresh and tasty. The exterior is beautiful and great for photos. Reservations are a must, otherwise you’ll probably be waiting a long time.

5 /5 Lianne Babés: Fabulous place. Best crab cake I’ve ever had. Lovely walk in counter space to sit if lucky, otherwise book. Service is no fuss and efficient, good came quick and was a high standard. Staff helpful with questions. We spent & £19 and shared crab cake with fries and an incredible sauce, curry smoked haddock fish cake and then got homemade breads and pesto. Should have ordered more and look forward to coming back.

4 /5 ESB NYC: We read about this place in the timeout magazine article about day trips from London. The town is absolutely charming, and this place was definitely worth a stop in. I would say that the staff could be a little bit kinder, they seemed a little bit stressed out and not really happy to deal with some basic questions. i’m sure it is difficult to operate this kind of an establishment in a tourist town, but you guys can do a little bit better. Our oysters were delicious and it seemed like everybody enjoyed what they had. You would think so since this is a fishing port and they’re getting everything fresh from the sea. I would say it seems a bit pricey for what it is. Pro tip, the place is BYOB and you can get a bottle of something nice very close by to bring in with you. The interior is very cute.

5 /5 A H OT: Came for the Guinness battered oysters and wasn’t disappointed. Probably exceeded my expectations! Crispy squid was good too. Give the spring rolls a miss.

5 /5 Alison Medd: The dining areas are compact and bijou so it does pay to book as they like to pace the kitchen. The food is unctuous and packed with flavour. Many of the dishes on offer have Far Eastern influences and flavours. This is unusually a BYO but there is a brilliant off licence opposite. The tiny but… for us was some of the fish was a tiny bit overcooked but it’s a delicious place for lunch and we will return.
