Sea View Cafe - (Near Kent, london)

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.

Christina Kirkness We visited today and it was truly outstanding from start to finish. The food was absolutely exceptional – rich, authentic flavours, beautifully presented, and quite honestly some of the best Italian food we’ve had in a long time. Every bite was a delight and you can really taste the quality and care that goes into each dish. The service was equally impressive. The staff were warm, friendly, and incredibly attentive, making us feel genuinely welcome and well looked after throughout our visit. Nothing felt rushed, and nothing was too much trouble – just perfect hospitality. The atmosphere was relaxed, cosy, and full of charm, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. This is the kind of place that stays with you long after you’ve left. An absolute gem of a restaurant – we cannot wait to return and would recommend it without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional Italian food and first-class service.

Carsten Thiel Great authentic Thai food. Enjoy excellent food with Seaview. Lots of choices. I do recommend Pad Thai. Very friendly and fast service.

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.

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.
