Coalyard Kitchen - (Near Kent, london)

Jenny B This is a creative, welcoming restaurant with a talented chef. I visited Whitstable with two good friends and visiting 39 (or Laurens as I prefer to call it) was one of our highlights. Whitstable is already a place worth celebrating for its pretty scenery, clear blue sea and independent shops, and this place was a hidden gem - though not so hidden as we found it through good Google reviews! We were very kindly welcomed by Fairlie and Roy and enjoyed the cocktails, with Head Chef Laurens Lemon Drop being the winner! The food was a delicious fusion of flavours! We found that five of the small plates shared by three of us was filling enough that we didnt ask for a desert. I would recommend giving 39/Laurens a try for its food, creative gallery feel and friendly ambience and if Roy is there he will happily tell you about the local area so do ask him!

Kate Black Bought a smashing sausage roll from Whitstable shed and nice chap said his daughter was up at 5 baking so well done her

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!

Emily C What a lovely spot to have lunch. We walked from Herne Bay round to Whitstable so were very ready for a rest and refuel. The guy behind the bar was so attentive, food was fresh & delicious and cold pints - what more could you want! Dog friendly too!

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

Charlie Jinks Stopped here on a Saturday and made a last minute reservation. The restaurant itself is really nice and right on the beachfront. The decor inside is very fitting and is aesthetically pleasing. We had the scallops and three cheese baked crab gratin for starters and shared the cod with some sides. All the food was delicious, definitely on the upper end of prices but it tasted like good quality. I would go back for sure next time
